GunHeliXmon: Heeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllo Earth and Equestria! I'm GunHeliXmon, and I'm here to tell you the story of how my big brother Z fell in love with a certain orange cowmare. Bro, mind telling the readers the disclaimer?

Z: Sure, GunHeliXmon doesn't own My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic or Digimon, which he will be taking certain elements from. He only owns this story, my children, sorta, and specific Digimon used in this fic.

Both: Enjoy!

{Z's POV}

I was walking through Ponyville with a sad look on my face. Why you ask? Because today was Hearts and Hooves Day, which on Earth would be called Valentine's Day. I hate this holiday, because of all the ponies walking around, giving each other cards, hanging out with their coltfriends and marefriends, going on and on about love and Super Special Someponies, it makes me sick, and it also reminds me of the fact that I'm alone, alone and have nopony to love or to love me.

Well, there is somepony I wish I could spend this holiday with, a certain orange mare with a blonde mane and tail, with her brown Stetson, and her ponytail, and those beautiful green eyes, like the leaves of an apple tree in the summer. Yes, I was in love with Applejack, the granddaughter of Granny Smith Apple, the matriarch of the Apple family.

I love her because she's strong, honest, caring, and that little country accent of hers really calms my heart of black flames, so ever filled with rage. Oh how I'd like to spend my life with her, so I won't be alone anymore, with that stupid empty castle, don't get me wrong, it's beautiful and all, and being royalty does have its perks, and my friends do come to visit, but usually to help solve problems with kindness in Equestria, but it's so black and dull, even with the silver highlights, and living their with just the echoes to keep me company, the echoes and, and the eggs, the eggs of my closest friends, my partners, who died long ago, and turned back into the eggs they hatched from before I met them, their names were, Guilmon X, Lopmon X, DemiDevimon X, and Lucemon X.

I miss them, every day I miss them, I just sit there alone and wait for them to hatch again. I know they will hatch whenever they are ready, but I just wish they would hurry up, I really do.

As I was thinking, I had subconsciously walked all the way to Sweet Apple Acres, the home of Applejack and her family. I looked out toward the orchard, and there she was, the mare of my dreams, "Applejack," I didn't realize that I said this out loud, so I jumped when I saw her turn and wave at me. The look in those beautiful eyes of hers, that said she was happy to see me.

"Hey Zodiac," she called over to me, "How ya doin'?"

My brain was turned to jelly when she said my name, so all I managed to say in response was, "Uh, uuuuh, I'm good now."

"Um, good to hear?" she said with a little uncertainty, I realized I was acting stupid, so I mentally slap myself with one of my wings.

{Applejack's POV}

Zodiac was actin' strange today, first he shows up unannounced, then he calls mah name, and when ah answer, he acts like he didn't know he said anything. Wonder what's goin' on in that chaotic royal head of his? Wait a doggone minute! Today's Hearts and Hooves Day! Was he actin' strange because he wanted to ask me on a date or somethin'? Maybe that's why he's starin' at me? Naw, he's the Prince of Kindness, he's probably just trying to be nice. Yeah that's it. I mean, why would a big'n'fancy alicorn prince like him want to go out on a date with an ordinary country earth pony mare like me? It's not like ah have a crush on 'em or somethin', heh heh, 'cause ah don't!

{Z's POV}

Why's she acting so nervous all of a sudden? I decided to break her from her thoughts by saying something, "Um, AJ."

"Uh, yeah!?"

"Happy Hearts and Hooves Day!"

"Uh, thanks. Happy Hearts and Hooves Day to you too! Ah got to go and finish harvesting apples so Granny can make some apple fritters."

"Apple fritters!? I love apple fritters! Let me help!"

"Uh, sure."

Oh, my, God! I can't believe I just asked to help AJ harvest apples! I'm hanging out with Applejack Apple! Yes!

{AJ's POV}

Did Zodiac, a PRINCE, ask to help harvest apples? Ah must be dreamin'.

{Z's POV}

I helped AJ by flying around and knocking down any apples that didn't fall when she kicked the trees, and we ended up harvesting more than enough apples to make apple fritters, we had enough apples to make apple butter too! Apple butter on apple fritters is much better than regular apple fritters. Yum!

When we finished harvesting apples we sat under AJ's favorite tree to watch the sunset from, because it was on a hill that overlooked almost the whole farm.

"Um, AJ?"

"Yeah Z?"

We just sat there for a second, and I could see several emotions in her eyes, I could see them because when you've lived concealing your emotions as long as I have, you get good at reading other ponies's emotions. And in her eyes I saw happiness, gratefulness, and love? She has love in her eyes!? Does she love me!?

"W-w-will y-you g-g-go out on a date with me?" I can't believe I just DID THAT!

{AJ's POV}

Did ah hear him right? Did he just ask me out on a date? I don't know what to do, I don't know what to say. "Say yes."

Mah conscience was tellin' me to accept his request for a date, so ah did the only thing ah could think of to do at that point.

"Yes."

{Z's POV}

Yes! She said YES! Woohoo!I'ma goin' on a date with Applejack! "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! You actually made me HAPPY on Hearts and Hooves Day!"

Wait, you mean you've never been happy on Hearts and Hooves Day? Why not?

There's the clincher, so I told her everything, about my partners, about how I've always been alone on this holiday of love, and about how I've felt about her, ever since the day I first met her, I had been madly in love with her. And then, she did what I had never thought would happen in a million years, she told me she felt the same way about me, and there's no way she would lie to me, she's the embodiment of HONESTY for crying out loud! I leaped for joy and flew in a loop the loop! When I landed AJ just chuckled, and did something I would never expect.

{AJ's POV}

Ah can't believe that Z has been alone on Hearts and Hooves Day every year, and that he's been in love with me ever since he met me! It's a dream come true! When he did a loop the loop in the air, I just chuckled, and then ah did somethin' that'd definitely surprise him.

Ah kissed him, ah kissed him, and it felt so good, mah brain turned to mush, mah heart raced, and ah felt noticeably warmer. Was it the fact that he was godly flames ponified? Ah didn't care, ah just felt amazin'

{Z's POV}

She kissed me, she KISSED me! I can't believe she actually kissed me! I was so happy that my body started heating up rapidly, which probably wasn't the best idea, except for the fact that my internal flames were heated by my happiness, passion, and love, so they weren't dangerous. I was so happy because I loved her, and I knew she loved me, so when we broke the kiss we were both reluctant to do so, but when we did we both ended the day with one single phrase.

"I love you"
