Equestria Girls - One Shots

RariJack - Injured Ankle

Applejack's POV

Today Rarity is having a fashion event for all her models. She has asked for the five of us to come as well and support her.

"Applejack! I sewed you this last night. I want you to wear it tonight for my event." Rarity said, walking from her sewing room holding a dress.

"Uh yeah no. You know I don't wear dresses, Rarity." I said, sighing.

She playfully pouted. "Pretty please...!"

"No." I said sternly, crossing my arms. "You should want me to be myself."

I sighed and looked down. "Of course I want you to be yourself... but... these people are very mean... and if you don't blend in then they'll be very mean to you."

I walked closer to her and stopped when I was just a few feet away.

She awkwardly looked into my eyes, blushing slightly.

"I-I just... don't want you to get hurt..." She said sadly.

I lightly touched her arm and smiled softly. "Don't worry, I'm more stronger than you think. Anything those people say can't hurt me."

She sighed sadly and rested her hand on my hand that was on her arm. "Promise?..."

I smiled. "I promise."

She shut her eyes and wrapped her fingers around my hand.

"Rarity! Applejack!" Pinkie yelled from behind Rarity.

Rarity removed her hand and turned to look at Pinkie.

"Oh hello, Pinkie!" She said.

"Twilight said to hurry up, everyone is gathering in the town hall. You'll need to be there to give your speech, remember?" Pinkie said.

"Oh! Right!" She said, quickly dropping the dress on a table and grabbing her purse. "Let's go!"

Rarity's POV

We met up with Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Sunset Shimmer, and Starlight Glimmer.

"Oh good, you're here! Just in time!" Twilight said. "They're waiting for you."

I smiled and nodded.

I went inside and walked onto the stage, grabbing the microphone and looking out into the crowd.

"Hello everyone! Thank you so much for coming!" I said, smiling brightly. Everyone started to clap happily.

While I was talking, I looked around for my friends. It wasn't hard to find them as Applejack stood out.

They were all standing at the back of the crowd, clapping and smiling. I made eye contact with Applejack. I blushed as she smiled at me.

As I continued to talk, I watched as three girls walked up to Applejack and started to talk to her. Applejack's entire expression changed. She looked... angry... Rainbow Dash got into the conversation and started to get mad at the girls.

My heart started to race quickly. What if they're being mean to Applejack... "W-Well... make sure to take photos, have some punch and pastries, and most importantly have fun!"

The crowd clapped and cheered as I walked off stage and made my way to Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

As I got closer, I could hear their conversation.

"You don't belong here, you filthy farm animal! Go back to your stinky barn!"

I clenched my fists and harshly grabbed that girls arm, digging my nails into her skin.

"Ow! Hey! Let me go!" She yelled.

"Don't you dare talk to Applejack that way!" I yelled, yanking hard on her arm. The girl cried out in pain.

"Rarity! Stop! It's okay!" Applejack yelled, grabbing my wrist and pulling me away from them.

She continued to drag me until we were outside.

She stopped and looked at me. "I told you, I don't get hurt by peoples words. You didn't need to do that. Now you look bad in their eyes."

I looked down sadly, trying desperately to hold back my tears.

"Hey... don't be sad... I'm okay." She said, removing her hand from my wrist and wrapping her arms around my waist.

I shut my eyes and wrapped my arms around her shoulders, the violent urge to cry becoming stronger.

She pulled away and smiled at me. "I don't care what people think of me, okay?"

I looked into her eyes and nodded softly.

She caressed my cheek softly and smiled. I couldn't help but smile back.

"Come on, let's get back to your party." She said, grabbing my hand and holding it lightly.

"O-Okay..." I said, blushing hard.

She started to lead us to the entrance but then I stopped, pulling her back.

She looked at me confused. "What's wrong?"

"I want go somewhere else..." I said awkwardly.

She blushed slightly. "Oh... okay. Sure, what ever you want."

I blushed harder and smiled. "Thank you..."

We walked towards town together, keeping our hands clasped together. As we were walking, the heel of my high heels snapped in half, causing me to roll my ankle and fall to the ground. My hand had fell out of her grip.

I cried out in pain, grabbing my foot and crying.

"Rarity! Are you okay?!" Applejack yelled worriedly, dropping to her knees and grabbing my arms.

"My ankle!" I cried.

Applejack lightly touched my ankle, making me cry out in pain.

"Don't touch it!" I cried.

"I think you might've broke it... I'll take you to my house, I'll bandage you there." She said, picking me up and throwing me over her shoulder.

I continued to cry as she grabbed the broken part of my shoe and headed for her house.

Once there, she rested me on her bed.

Her bed was surprisingly comfy.

She came back with a first aid kit in hand. She sat down at my feet and put my feet on her lap.

"This will hurt." She said, grabbing bandages from the kit.

I bit my lip and gripped the bed sheets, preparing for the worst.

She started to wrap the bandage around my ankle and foot, causing me to cry out in pain again.

Once she finished wrapping the bandage around my ankle, she put away her supplies and came back with crutches.

"You'll have to use these until you get better." She said, leaning them against the wall.

"Thank you... Applejack..." I said softly.

"Of course, sugar cube."

"C-Can you stay with me?..." I asked awkwardly.

She smiled and nodded. "Of course I will."

She crawled up to me and wrapped her arms around me. I rested my arm around her waist and looked into her eyes.

"I... I have a confession to make..." I said quietly.

"What is it?..."

"I think I might like you..."

She smiled and caressed my cheek. "I think I might like you too."

I giggled and blushed, my heart racing.

She slowly leaned in and connected our lips. We shared a sweet kiss together, pulling away after some time.

I smiled and blushed, moving closer to her so I could rest my head on her chest. She wrapped her arms around me comfortingly, kissing my forehead.
