Chapters Appledash: True Feelings Realised
Twilight sat up and stretched. She had just spent the best part of three hours studying. Around her were piles upon piles of dusty old tomes, ranging from local history in the past one hundred years, to the origin of their species. So far she had only managed to get through the one book, but she had a free day, so she was certain she could blast through another seven or so. She continued her stretching,listening to her joints crack into place. Finally she stood up properly, giving her tail a playful flick as she did. She did a quick scan of the room and quickly noticed something was wrong.She couldn't see Spike anywhere, although it was rare for him to leave without annoucing it.
The books shuddered again and Twilight nudged them away until all that was left, was a purple, baby dragon.
Twilight gave a small smile, and trotted over to the door. She slipped outside, leaving Spike some time to rest. Now that she was outside she wondered how she could pass the time. She decided to stroll up to Sweet Apple Acres to see if Applejack was home. She set off at a steady pace and soon reached her destination. Twilight could see Applejack out in the field and walked over to her.
As the two ponies approached the square, something flew over their heads. This something happened to be a pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash. Both Twilight and Applejack stopped to stare at the aerial spectacle. Rainbow Dash, realising she had an audience, started to perform for the forming crowd. She looped in circles, twisted through the air, and landed without so much as one fault. The crowd stomped their hooves in approval, as Rainbow Dash basked in the appreciation
With that said, Rainbow Dash took to the sky, leaving a bewildered Twilight, and a relieved Applejack behind. Applejack quickly started to hurry off, forcing Twilight to quickly catch her up.
Twilight took a step backward in shock.
Applejack bolted off, heading in the direction of Rarity's boutique. Twilight headed off to go see if Spike was feeling any better. Applejack soon arrived at Rarity's place of work, the carousel boutique, and rapped her hoof on the door. After a few minutes the door swung open to reveal a white unicorn with a purple mane and tail.
Rarity locked the door, and took Applejack further into the boutique.
Rarity unlocked the door, and Applejack left the boutique, a spring in her step. Talking with Rarity and Twilight had certainly helped her confidence, now she felt like she could easily tell Dash her feelings.The only problem she had left was to actually find Rainbow Dash. It wasn't going to be easy to find someone who spent most of their days in the sky. She decided she would check all the places on the ground that Dash usually trained at. The first wasn't too far away from Sweet Apple Acres, so she decided to check there first. She took off as fast as she could, her desire to tell Rainbow of her feelings only spurred
Applejack heard a loud thud, and a cloud of dirt and dust covered her vision. She batted aside the cloud and looked to find the cause. The cause was obvious to Applejack, it had been Rainbow Dash, probably trying some sort of new trick. She found Rainbow Dash shaking dirt from her body. Rainbow looked up at Applejack apologetically.
Later that day, Rainbow Dash met up with Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy to talk about her meeting with Applejack.
By this point Fluttershy had also stopped laughing, and gasped as she heard this news. Twilight and Rarity approached Rainbow Dash.
Night soon fell and Applejack was laid on her bed, her head buried in her pillow. She had come straight home after suffering her embarrassment with Dash. She hadn't told Big Mactintosh what had happened, she just locked herself in her room, shutting herself off from the outside. So one can imagine her surprise when she heard a tapping on her window. Normally this wouldn't be classed as odd, it could've been a branch or something knocking against it. However Applejack's room wasn't on the ground floor, it was on the first floor. Plus there weren't any plants or loose items to knock against the window. So Applejack got up, sniffing back any remaining tears she had, and made her way to the window. She couldn't see anything outside, but she knew something was there. She opened the window and was greeted by a voice.
Applejack was almost certain that this was who she thought it was.
Rarishy: The Stylist and The Introvert
Fluttershy sat outside her hut, the sun shining down on her. She relished in glorious days like this, there was just something about that made her feel so fantastic. She surveyed the landscape; all of her little animal friends seemed to be enjoying it as much as she was. Bunnies chased each other through the various floras, while birds soared overhead. She wished that everyday could be like this, although if that happened there might be serious repercussions for the environment. Starting to lose herself in the tranquility of the meadow, Fluttershy snapped back to her senses, only to realise she was supposed to meet Rarity at her boutique. In one swift movement, she shattered the peaceful atmosphere by charging towards her destination. Fluttershy wanted to turn back and apologise to her friends but that would make her late for her appointment, and she'd hate to disappoint Rarity as well. Onward she went, not stopping for any reason, until she reached Rarity's place of work.
Once there she knocked on the door. Of course with this being Fluttershy, a mouse could've knocked louder than she did. Fluttershy knocked again, this time a little bit louder. Fluttershy was sure she could hear some approaching from the other side of the door. Fluttershy waited with baited breath, just in case it wasn't Rarity who answered. The door opened to reveal a white unicorn, with an incredibly stylish mane and tail.
Rarity ushered Fluttershy over to a piece of paper she had tacked to the wall. Printed on the paper was an outline of a pony, no clothes, just a naked pony. Rarity called upon her magic to start sketching ideas onto the outline.
Rarity leapt into the air, then composed herself again with a simple 'ahem' and a flick of her mane. She then set about her work, starting with the concept designs. Fluttershy on the other hand remained still, something was troubling her. Specifically it was when her face had touched Rarity's. Normally she would've felt extremely awkward after something like that, yet she didn't, she felt right. She didn't understand why she was feeling this way; did she have some sort of attraction to Rarity? Fluttershy watched the unicorn as she constructed her dress. As she watched she started to feel an odd sensation in her stomach. She felt like her stomach was doing back flips, the feeling made her feel a small bit nervous. Although it seemed that no matter how nervous she got, she just couldn't take her eyes off Rarity.
What seemed like an age passed the two ponies by, but eventually Rarity had finished her dress. She helped Fluttershy into it and ran off to find a mirror, leaving Fluttershy alone with her thoughts, if only for a brief while. When Rarity returned with the mirror, Fluttershy was able to see the amount of detail that she had put into the dress. The dress was of course green, an obvious nature colour. Along the hem Fluttershy could see a floral pattern that snaked all the way around the base of the dress. The same pattern could be seen around the neck, except that coloured thread had been used, giving it more of a floral feel.
She had just finished when she heard a voice from the other side of the room.
Fluttershy ran away, back to the meadow, where she could find comfort in nature's solitude. She stopped at the bridge outside her home, taking a moment to peer into the river. Her delicate reflection was disrupted by the tears that dripped from her face. Each tear splashed into the water, distorting the image until Fluttershy was barely recogniseable. She had messed up, she should have known that Rarity didn't go that way, it was so obvious. She heard a soft voice in her ear, the tone almost apologetic.
Rarity continued to nuzzle against Fluttershy, putting her hooves around her and giving her a gentle peck on the cheek.
Twinkie Pie: New Experiences
Twilight sat with her five friends as they chatted about the exciting day they had all experienced. Today was the day that Rarity and Fluttershy had became a couple. This meant that there were now two couples in their circle of friends, Rarity and Fluttershy, and Applejack and Rainbow Dash. The group often joked that Twilight and Pinkie Pie were next, although they vehemently denied it. Well, Twilight denied it, while Pinkie just giggled at the idea. Eventually the night wore on and the ponies had to retreat to their homes. Applejack and Rainbow Dash went back to Sweet Apple Acres, to spend the night with each other, while Rarity and Fluttershy went back to the Carousel Boutique. Twilight and Pinkie Pie parted ways, and were the only ones to go home by themselves. Twilight returned to the library and made her way upstairs to her room. Spike was flat out in his basket, his snores drifting through the silent library. Twilight settled down into her bed, ready to just drift off into a deep slumber. However her plans were dashed by quick knocking on the library door, which just didn't seem to let up.
Twilight sighed, and got up, her sleeping routine was already ruined. She headed downstairs, and approached the door.
She managed to get the hyper pony to calm down a little, and came up with an idea, that she hoped would keep her calm.
Twilight summoned her magic, causing her horn to light up with magic. She slowly drifted a book towards Pinkie, laying it out on the floor for her. The book was the same book that Twilight had used during her sleepover with Applejack and Rarity.
Pinkie leant in quickly, pressing her lips against Twilight's. The two locked lips with each other, starting off what was to become a deeply passionate kiss. Pinkie moved her hoof towards Twilight's cheek and began to stroke it gently, pressing herself closer to the purple unicorn. Twilight was visibly shocked, her mind was rocked with new sensations, but she was focused on how gung-ho Pinkie Pie was about this. It was freaking her out a little, but at the same time she also found it calming. Eventually Pinkie broke the kiss, sitting back on her haunches, exclaiming how much fun it was. Twilight just looked at the pink pony, wondering if this meant that the jokes her friends had made were truths.
The unicorn sat up, and the two ponies kissed again, this time more passionate, and more adventurous. There was no doubt left in Twilight's mind that the two of them were going to be a couple. She laughed inside her head, wait until her friends found out about this, they wouldn't be joking anymore. The two ponies continued their embrace, placing their hooves around each other as they hugged as well. Meanwhile, just a few feet away from Twilight's bed, sat a rather disgruntled dragon. He had been woken up by the noise the new couple were making. He just sat and watched the two of them, as he muttered something under his breath.

Appledash: One Night Under The Apple Tree (Mature Content)
Author's note.
News had soon spread around Ponyville about the recent coupling of Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie. Needless to say many ponies were shocked, some even choosing to ignore the news, or pretend it didn't happen. Of course there are always those that decide to be immature about the situation, those that spend their time making fun of others, in order to fulfill their meager existence. Sadly Ponyville had its fair share of these miscreants and they were wasting no time in making Twilight and Pinkie's lives hell. At this very moment the aforementioned couple was making their way over to Sweet Apple Acres, trying to draw as little attention as possible. Sadly that wasn't easy to do when you're in a relationship with someone as hyperactive as Pinkie.
The pink pony stopped in her tracks, looked around and bounded over to Twilight. Thanks to Twilight's sudden outburst, the group of ponies was able to correctly identify the couple. Some of them hurled insults, while others just pointed and laughed. Twilight grabbed Pinkie, and made a dash for the side street, she made her way down the labyrinthine back alley, until she emerged at the edge of Ponyville. She scanned the area quickly, just to make sure if more running was required or not. Pinkie Pie was oblivious to the events that had just transpired; she was still more interested in their mystery destination.
Eventually the two ponies arrived at their destination and Twilight announced their presence, by knocking on the door. The ponies waited there for a few minutes, before the door swung open to reveal a tired looking Applejack.
There was a soft thud upstairs, as the owner of the voice made its way downstairs. Twilight thought she recognized it, although the ceiling had muffled the voice, making her unsure. Instead of continuing her efforts to work it out, she instead waited for the pony to show themselves. Her wait was short lived, as soon enough, Rainbow Dash had joined them in the kitchen, shocking Twilight considerably.
Applejack looked at Rainbow Dash, with the sky blue Pegasus returning her gaze. The two ponies then burst out laughing, leaving Twilight somewhat embarrassed.
Her story managed to go on for hours, even though she only had a few points to cover. By the time she had finished, and all of the relevant questions had been answered, it was late afternoon. The ponies were starting to get hungry, all except Applejack, who had been acting distant throughout the entire time. Eventually Twilight left, taking Pinkie Pie with her, leaving Rainbow Dash and Applejack alone once more. Rainbow Dash made her way to the cupboards, looking for something to eat, while Applejack headed out to the orchard. Rainbow Dash was a little suspicious of her abnormal behaviour, she was never so quiet, nor did she usually seem distant. She abandoned her search for food and followed Applejack. Applejack made her way into the apple orchard, sitting down right on the far edge of the orchard. Rainbow Dash trotted up behind her, sitting next to her.
The Pegasus put her hoof around Applejack, pulling her into her warm embrace.
Applejack was still in deep thought, something that was starting to annoy Rainbow.
*****************************************************************************************
A couple of hours passed, and Rainbow Dash felt a questioning burning to be answered.
Rainbow then leant in and nibbled upon her ear, gently clamping her teeth around it. Applejack flicked her ear rapidly, letting out a noise that sounded like a combination between a pleasurable groan, and a blissful sighing. Rainbow slowly added pressure, trying not to hurt Applejack. For Applejack, the more pressure that was applied meant that she got more pleasure from it. She hadn't expected to get any sensations from someone nibbling on her ear, so she was certainly impressed. Rainbow Dash added on one final bit of pressure, giving the biggest response from Applejack yet. Her ear flicked back and forth quickly, she groaned loudly, and started to squirm a little.
Once Rainbow reached the base of Applejack's neck she moved onto the next phase of her plan. She started to lick at her body, with short quick licks. Applejack let out a long, drawn out, 'mmmm'. She placed a hoof on top of Rainbow's mane and began to stroke her, occasionally tussling it. Rainbow enjoyed the stroking, and decided to use the same technique on Applejack. She placed one of her hooves on Applejack's stomach and began rubbing in circles. Applejack's lower half squirmed, as Rainbow Dash's rubbing, sent a tingling sensation through her body. Rainbow Dash changed the pace of her licking from quick licks to longer, more sensual licks. She combined the new licking technique with slow movements downward. As she got further and further down Applejack's body, she found that it got much more sensitive. She only had to give it small touch with her tongue and Applejack would let out a quiet moan. She reached her stomach and the combined pleasure of rubbing and licking the same place, drove Applejack to moan a little louder, and bite her lip.
Rainbow Dash shifted her position, so that she was now directly in front of Applejack. Again she resorted to licking and rubbing, still working her way lower. Applejack could see how close she was to most pleasurable spot of them all. Her mind was willing Rainbow Dash on, to give her the satisfaction she so craved.
Rainbow began licking within an instant, sending spikes of white hot pleasure through Applejack. Applejack's eyes shot open, her breathing became short and quick. She looked down to see Rainbow Dash working away, with a look of pure lust in her eyes. It was at this point that Rainbow's tongue licked over a specific spot, sending Applejack over the edge into sexual oblivion. She threw her head back with a loud gasp, and began to pant like a dog. Rainbow Dash seemed to be so good, that Applejack had to wonder if she'd ever done this before. Pleasurable feelings continued to rack her body, and they kept on going, thanks in part to Rainbow Dash's desire to go deeper. Applejack could feel Rainbow's muzzle inside her, furiously licking at anything her tongue could reach.
Applejack felt her heart pounding in her chest, her mind unfocused due to her arousal. She knew one thing for certain, this lovemaking session was about to draw to a close.
Lyra sat backstage waiting for her call to go onstage. It wasn’t her first time performing, but it was certainly her first time she had performed at something like this. She was currently at the Canterlot Theatre for the Musical Arts, where she shared the evening’s bill with some of Equestria’s most famed musicians. Just the thoughts of sharing a stage with musicians like Octavia, made her feel incredibly nervous. What if she didn’t perform to an equal calibre? She didn’t want to think about what would happen should that thought come true. Out on the stage Lyra heard a round of stomping applause, and realised that she was soon going to find out whether or not she could match her predecessors. Lyra caught sight of Octavia as she headed into the wings, where she received plenty of praise for a show well done. Lyra looked around her and she realised just how lonely she was. There was no-one waiting in the wings for her, no-one to praise her for a show well done.
Meanwhile, a pony by the name of Bon-Bon was stood in the audience, stomping her hooves in approval of Octavia’s fantastic performance. As Octavia left the stage Bon-Bon recalled the event schedule in her head. As she scrolled through the names in her imagination she recalled a particular musician, a pony by the name of Lyra. The schedule had claimed that she was supposed to be from Ponyville, Bon-Bon’s home town. She’d never seen any sort of musical ponies around the streets of Ponyville for as long as she had been there. Maybe she hid her talent away from prying eyes? Either way Bon-Bon was excited to hear her play. She calmed herself a little as the lights around the stage began to dim. As her eyes adjusted once more to the darkness, she began to search the stage, looking for this mysterious musician. She caught sight of a chair floating out from the wings, followed by some sort of instrument case, with a pony following behind. The chair took it's place at the stage's centre, with the case resting just beside it. The pony removed the instrument from it's case and the crowd began to wonder what sort of music she would share.
A single spotlight shone down on the musician, illuminating her for all to see. On-stage, Lyra's nerves were on edge, although she soldiered on regardless. She sat upon the chair, slouching a little, but regaining some of her composure. Already the crowd was buzzing as people began to mutter amongst themselves about Lyra's unique sitting position. Undeterred, Lyra levitated her lyre into the air and and gently plucked the strings. A melodic sound rung through the audience, silencing those still whispering. She transitioned from those simple first plucks to more complex rhythms with surprising ease. Bon-Bon let her ears drink the wonderful sounds that Lyra created. Her mind began to swim as each delicate note pranced through her head.
"Oh this is wonderful!" thought Bon-Bon to herself.
Lyra continued on, a tiny bead of sweat forming on her brow. Her melody began to build up, her plucks becoming more and more rapid. Bon-Bon could tell that the performance was coming to it's climax, yet she did not wish for it to end. Her mind felt hazy, her body filled with a warm sensation, almost like she were drunk. She let her body sway side to side, lost in Lyra's beautiful music. She wished that this feeling would last forever, alas all good things have their end. Lyra's melody concluded in an almighty crescendo, culminating with the soft 'prang' of Lyra's hoof connecting with the string. A small minority of the audience erupted into a stomping applause, Bon-Bon was included in that minority. The remainder of the audience applauded apathetically, and many applauded out of courtesy.
"I have to meet her in person" mumbled Bon-Bon as she made her way through the crowd.
Lyra packed up her instrument and bowed to the audience, before exiting stage right. Bon-Bon made her way to the main foyer, hoping to catch Lyra before she left for Ponyville. She glanced around the crowded space, searching for any evidence of the mint green pony. Other ponies began to fill the foyer and Bon-Bon started to realise just how fruitless this was becoming. Just when she was ready to give up, she caught side of a mint green and white tail disappearing through the exit doors. Bon-Bon cut through the crowd, like a knife through butter, and slipped outside.
"Lyra?!" yelled Bon-Bon hoping she'd got the right pony.
A voice returned her outcry with a simple response.
"Who wants to know?"
Bon-Bon wasn't sure how to respond, she didn't want to come across as some sort of crazed of fan, even though that's exactly how she felt.
"Uhm, just a fan, I guess" replied Bon-Bon, hoping that was the correct answer.
Lyra stepped out from the darkness, revealing herself to Bon-Bon.
"A fan? That's...new" Lyra responded.
"What? Do you mean to say people don't congratulate you after your performances?" asked Bon-Bon.
"Not really no, I mean I don't really give them chance to. I tend to just pack up and leave once I'm done." answered Lyra, solemnly.
"Why?" questioned Bon-Bon.
"Well, did you see how they reacted tonight? A few people appreciated my performance, mainly those with little to no appreciation for my music, no offence intended. The real connoisseurs didn't even bat an eyelid, they just applauded because they felt like they had to out of courtesy. Don't tell me that I couldn't know that, because I do know that. I could see it from the stage, it was pretty obvious. Now unless you have anything else to say, I would like to get home." replied Lyra hotly.
Bon-Bon just stood there, unable to think of a suitable response. Hundreds of sentences whizzed around in her head, yet she couldn't bring herself to speak them. Even as Lyra began to walk away, one specific sentence burned inside her skull.
She's trying too hard too please others, and it's eating her up inside...
Bon-Bon turned around and made her way back inside, wondering if there was any way that she could help Lyra see her problem.
Meanwhile Lyra found herself on the road to Ponyville, alone.
"Well you could have handled that better couldn't you?" said Lyra to herself.
Lyra sighed, of course she could have handled that better. For starters she could've avoided storming off like that. Second, she could of done with the whole mini rant that preceded her exit.
Way to go Lyra, you probably alienated the only pony who actually considered herself a 'fan' of yours...
Lyra sighed once more, and then grunted as she bumped into something.
"Now then, what 'ave we 'ere?"
Lyra looked up to find nothing but a dull white smile staring back at her.
"It's dangerous t' be out 'ere by yerself missy. Ain't y' ever been told that?"
Lyra gulped, and shook her head.
"They say that there be those that prey on mares that walk alone in the night...An' yer tellin' me that you ain't ever been told that?"
Lyra shook her head once more.
"Well maybe we should show ye what yer've been missin'"
We?
"Come on lads!"
Lyra suddenly felt a strong force from nowhere shoving her to floor. She struggled against it, but it was too strong.
"That's it lad, lets see what we got 'ere..."
Lyra felt hooves patting against her body, stopping as they reached her lyre case.
"Well, this could sell for a few bits...Pleasure doin' business with ya missy. Now you just wait there, an' we wont have to come back an' make you wait...ok?"
The thieves took off at a fairly quick pace, certain that they would make a clean getaway. Lyra felt the force holding her down release her from it's grasp, letting her get to her hooves. Without wasting a moment of time she gave chase towards the lyre thieves. She wasn't going to let them get away with her lyre, it held deep sentimental value to her. She closed in on the thief holding her lyre and leapt onto his back, sending them both tumbling to the floor. Her lyre case skittered a few feet away from her. Lyra scrambled over to it, pulling it towards herself, and curling up in a ball.
"I warned ya missy, now we're gonna 'ave to make sure ya wait..."
Without another word, hooves trampled across her body, pain flooding through her senses. She felt her lyre case being dragged away from her.
"Was it worth going after missy? This stupid piece o' metal an' string?"
Lyra whimpered, as the stallions continued to beat their point into her. She then heard a sound that sickened her to her core. It was a sharp twang and Lyra knew instantly what it was. He was cutting the strings to her lyre.
"How d' ya feel now?
Twang!
"Still think it was worth it?"
Twang!
"Well?!"
Twang!
Lyra had taken as much as she could of this torture, she was ready to accept her situation and give up. This was until a familiar voice rung through the darkness.
"Hello? Is someone there?"
The thieves made themselves scarce, the moment they heard that voice. Lyra's lyre clattered to the floor, it's appearance looked somewhat similar to it's owner, battered and bruised. Lyra pulled it towards herself and cuddled up to it, weeping softly.
She could hear hooves making their way towards her, with a voice calling out to her.
"Hell-Lyra? Is that you? What happened?" exclaimed the voice.
The sound of hooves sped up, as the pony made their way over to the injured musician.
"Lyra, Lyra what happened? You! Help me with her! We need to get her some place safe now!"
Lyra saw that the mystery pony was Bon-Bon, standing alongside a pony she didn't recognise, an escort perhaps?
Bon-Bon helped Lyra up, splitting Lyra's weight between her and her escort. Making sure that Lyra's lyre was properly secured, the three of them began making their way towards Ponyville.
