AUTHOR'S NOTES: This chapter was originally supposed to be apart of part 2 but as I said on the last chapter page, I had made you wait long enough. Please bare in mind that all these chapters were split into parts to spare you all a 20k+ word chapter which is what the chapter "The lifestyles of the rich and shameless" was supposed to be. There will be a part 4 to this chapter which will be the last part of this chapter. I know this chapter is a bit long but it's worth it to read, trust me! XD

THE LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND SHAMELESS

PART 3

The next morning came quicker than the fillies wanted it to but it came just the same. Babs' eyes opened drowsily to see her lover in front of the mirror applying makeup to her face and accessories to her mane. She sat up and stretched with a soft yawn which caused Applebloom to turn and look at her.

“Mornin Babs.” She greeted before she turned her face back to the mirror and resumed applying her makeup.

“Good morning Applebloom. Are you putting on... makeup?” Babs mused curiously as she hopped off the bed and walked up next to the farm filly.

“Yeah, Showtime said Ah need to be makin mahself pretty for the press and all that so we can cut down production costs and speed things up.” Applebloom replied casually as she applied mascara to her eyelids.

Babs then gently nudged Applebloom's neck with her head and rubbed against it affectionately. “I'm looking forward to seeing you later today. I'll set everything up okay?” Babs said softly before she gave her lover a soft peck on the neck when caused Applebloom to shudder slightly at the pleasurable feeling and look at her.

“Set everythin up?” She asked with a slightly confused expression.

“Ya know, for our rescheduled anniversary?” Babs reminded her with a slightly annoyed expression.

“Oh yeah, that.” Applebloom replied and returned her attention to the mirror. “Ah'm lookin forward to it.” she finished though her tone of voice sounded distracted as she spoke now.

This tone of voice was unsettling to the city filly at which point she nuzzled her again. “You are going to be able to make it on time right?” she asked with a slight air of worry in her voice as she spoke.

“O-Of course. Ah just got a lot to do today is all. Got a press conference at ten and a photo-shoot at three then Ah got an interview at...” Applebloom began to say but trailed off in realization of one key fact. Her day was booked. “Horseapples!” She cursed suddenly as she slammed a hoof on the desk which caused multiple makeup bottles and accessories to tumble and scatter.

“What's wrong?” Babs asked looking more worried now.

“Mah entire day is booked! Ah completely spaced that we rescheduled our anniversary for today!” Applebloom exclaimed as she slammed both hooves on her face and groaned loudly.

“You spaced it?! How could forget something as important as our anniversary?!” Babs exclaimed looking deeply hurt and pissed off that her lover had forgotten something so important.

“Ah didn't mean to, Ah swear! It's just that Showtime wanted me to do this for mah rep and all. He told me it was completely optional but it would help me a lot if Ah did this. Ah can't back out of it now because it would make me and him look bad on the press! I'm such an air-headed mule!” Applebloom exclaimed looking genuinely guilt stricken and upset over the fact that she had forgotten something so important.

“It's fine. We'll just reschedule it... again.” Babs replied in a less than sympathetic tone and ending her sentence on a sour note.

“Ah'm really sorry Babs. Ah'll make it up to ya Ah promise. Is there somethin ya want? Ah can get it for ya.” Applebloom replied looking at her lover now whom was looking away from her.

“Something I want?” Babs asked as she turned around to look at Applebloom.

“Yeah, Ah mean, it's the least Ah can do since I've been barely able to see ya the last week.” Applebloom replied with a smile now.

“Being rich and famous changes ponies, Babs! It's changed me, Diamond Tiara, and her father...”, Silver Spoon replied, her voice becoming less pissed and more saddened with each name she stated. She sighed depressingly.

The words of Silverspoon echoed within Babs' mind which caused her chest to become ice-cold with worry and fear. “What if she starts to think that if she just gives me things that it's okay for her to not be around like Filthy Rich did with Diamond Tiara?” The city filly thought to herself.

“Babs? Are ya okay? Ya look like ya saw ghost.” Applebloom asked with a concerned expression as she walked over to Babs and placed a hoof on her cheek which snapped the city filly from her thoughts and back to reality.

“I-I'm fine.” she lied and a few moments later sighed. “L-look, I don't want anything. Just... Just promise me one thing.” Babs replied looking into Applebloom's eyes.

“Sure, anythin.” Applebloom replied looking back into Babs' eyes now.

“Promise me that you won't let this singing career of yours change who you are.” Babs said in a serious tone which caught her lover off guard slightly.

“Oh come on Babs, ya know-”

“Promise me!” Babs exclaimed cutting off Applebloom mid-sentence which caused her to be taken back by the look in Babs' eyes now which seemed to be threatening to burst into tears at any moment.

“This is really worrin ya isn't it? Ah guess Ah can't blame ya since Ah've been gone so much. Okay, Ah promise.” Applebloom replied finally after a few moments and locked lips with Babs. “Ah gotta head out now and Ah'm really sorry for forgettin our anniversary.” she finished and quickly left the room.

Babs walked into the living room a few minutes later, sat on the couch and sighed heavily. “It's already falling apart isn't it?” Silverspoon pipped up from behind the couch which caused Babs to resist the urge to jolt her hoof up and whack the filly smack dab in the snout.

“Of course not.” Babs replied in the most confident voice she could muster despite her lack of faith in the statement itself.

“Whatever you say but the nice long sigh I heard tells me otherwise.” Silverspoon replied snootily at which point Babs hopped off the couch and glared at her.

“You don't see me lecturing you on how you had to resort to coming to us to help your relationship! Which is falling apart might I add!” Babs exclaimed nearly screaming this words into the filly's face.

“Okay, Okay! Point taken, geez. No need to bite my head off.” Silverspoon replied backing down from her snooty demeanor and looking away from the city filly.

Upon hearing this Babs gave yet another heavy sigh. “Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit a soft point. It's just dat it feels like Applebloom is slipping away from me.” Babs replied and looked at the floor.

“Don't take this the wrong way but she probably is. I warned ya blank-flank. Being rich and famous changes ponies.” Silverspoon stated simply with no attitude in her voice what-so-ever.

“It won't change Applebloom, she promised me it wouldn't.” Babs replied looking back up at the silver furred filly whom scoffed in response to this.

“Listen, promise or no promise, fame and money always changes ponies. I think it may be time to come to grips with the reality that me and Diamond Tiara accepted already.” Silverspoon replied as she walked to the other side of the room and looked out the window at the city below.

“I don't think you have accepted it yourself.” Babs replied simply which caused Silverspoon to whirl around and look at her.

“What do you mean by that?” Silverspoon asked looking at Babs now with a skeptical expression.

“Look around yourself. We came all the way out here just for you because you asked for our help. So tell me Silverspoon, why would a filly who's accepted dat her relationship isn't meant to last come all the way out here in hopes dat seeing her lover would save her relationship?” Babs asked as she walked up to her.

“I-I already told you! I don't want to give up on her yet.” Silverspoon replied though her tone of voice was less than confident as she spoke.

“Yet? Or ever?” Babs countered allowing a slight smirk to wash over her facial features.

“W-What are you smirking about?! I already told you that I've accepted it! So drop it!” Silverspoon exclaimed becoming flustered by the conversation as she looked away from Babs and back out the window to the city.

“Stop lyin to yourself!” Babs exclaimed as she whirled her around and forced Silverspoon to look her in the eyes.

Upon hearing this, Silverspoon's pupils darted to the lower left of her eye sockets with a less than confident expression as she bit her lower lip.

“You don't believe a word of what you've been preachin to me and Applebloom and you know it. I've seen you sleeping at night. You hold onto dat photo of you and Diamond Tiara as if it's the most important thing in the world. In fact, I'm willin to bet you even sleep with it.” Babs stated as she looked into Silverspoon's eyes which seemed to refuse to look directly at her and continue to dart to the lower corners of her eye sockets.

“It-It's not that I haven't accepted it...” Silverspoon began but trailed off as tears formed in her eyes. “It's just that I wish I didn't have to.” she admitted and wiped any tears that may have formed in her eyes from them with her right hoof.

“You don't have to. That's why we're here isn't it?” Babs replied as she placed a hoof on Silverspoon's shoulder with a warm smile on her face.

Without warning Silverspoon wrapped her hooves around Babs and sobbed softly into her shoulder. “I love her Babs... but... but...” She began to say between sobs only to trail off and continue to sob.

“Yeah, I know. You're scared of losing the thing dat matters most to you.” Babs replied as she ran a hoof along Silverspoon's mane comfortingly. “You're not alone...” Babs thought to herself as she looked out the window to the city below as a transparent image of Applebloom's smiling face flashed before her eyes against the window before fading from existence.

The train pulled into Fillydephia on schedule and amongst the ponies who filed out of the train a certain farm pony and two fillies made their way off the platform and into the heart of the city. “Y'all have any clue where they might have gone?” Applejack asked as she scanned the contents of the tourist guide she had purchased prior to leaving the station.

“Not a clue.” Scootaloo replied as she looked around her surroundings and spotted a red Pegasus hovering just above the crowd. That however wasn't what caused her to stare the the Pegasus so intently. It was the saddle-pack that they wore. “Hey Sweetie Belle, isn't that one of our crusader saddle-packs?” Scootaloo asked curiously at which point the unicorn filly looked up herself.

“Yeah, that is! I'd recognize our signature crusader saddle-packs anywhere!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed and quickly nudged the farm pony whom up to this point had her nose buried in the tourist guide.

“What's up fillies? Ya remember a place they said they'd go?” Applejack asked curiously.

“That Pegasus has one of our crusader saddle-packs! Look!” Scootaloo exclaimed as she pointed a hoof at the red Pegasus whom was still hovering above the crowd.

“Ya sure it's one of yours?” Applejack asked looking up at the Pegasus now.

“Of course! I watched Rarity hoof-stitch that symbol into each one of our capes and saddle-packs myself and I'd never forget it!” Sweetie Belle chimed in.

“Well than Ah guess we need to be askin how he got it then.” Applejack replied as she made her way through the crowd of ponies so that she was within earshot of the red Pegasus. “Hey! Ah need to ask ya how ya got that thar saddle-pack. Did ya find it somewhere?” Applejack shouted up to the Pegasus at which point they snapped their gaze to Applejack, gave a panicked expression and darted away.

“After him!” Scootaloo exclaimed as she quickly reached into her own saddle-pack pulled out her collapsible scooter, unfolded it, stepped on, and began to flutter her small wings as hard as they could moments after Sweetie Belle had hopped on as well which bolted both fillies down the street.

“Ah knew Ah was gonna regret takin these two along!” Applejack exclaimed as she darted after the two whom were in hot pursuit of the red Pegasus whom was quickly gaining distance from them.

“He's too fast! We're gonna lose him!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed as the Red Pegasus continued to make the gap between them wider and wider.

“Sweetie Belle, when I give the signal, hop off the scooter! It'll lighten our load and let me catch up to him!” Scootaloo exclaimed.

“Are you crazy?! You're not actually considering going after him alone, are you?!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed in shock of this sudden statement by her fellow crusader.

“That wasn't a request!” Scootaloo exclaimed as she gave the unicorn filly a quick shove knocking her off into a pile of leaves at which point Applejack caught up to her.

“Sweetie Belle, are ya okay?! What happened?!” Applejack asked as she helped the filly to her hooves.

“Scootaloo shoved me off so she could get a speed boost to catch up to the Pegasus!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed as she looked at Scootaloo as she blazed down the street and took a left turn.

“Hop onto mah back and hold on tight.” Applejack ordered to which the unicorn filly obeyed without question at which point Applejack broke into a full gallop following the path Scootaloo had taken.

Scootaloo continued to beat her wings as fast and hard as she could but despite her speed boost the Pegasus was still gaining distance on her. She quickly scanned her surroundings taking note of several clouds hanging low up ahead along with a construction crew down the street and a set of construction objects she could use as a makeshift ramp.

The Pegasus filly knew what she had to do and the very thought of being that high made her gulp loudly. “Here goes...” she remarked aloud as she turned her scooter towards the makeshift ramp.

“What's that filly thinkin?! She's gonna run head first into those construction ponies and their stuff if she keeps goin down that way!” Applejack exclaimed as she continued to gallop at full throttle with Sweetie Belle hanging on for dear life.

“Hey! Filly! Stop!” one of the construction stallions exclaimed once he noticed her heading straight for them only to have to leap out of the filly's way as she barreled past him. Several other construction ponies also had to leap out-of-the-way as Scootaloo bolted down the road towards her target.

“Last chance Scootaloo, back out now or keep going.” The orange Pegasus remarked to herself looking slightly scared with the makeshift ramp not far now. “Rainbow Dash wouldn't back down from a challenge so neither am I!” she exclaimed a few moments later, reenforcing her confidence, and redoubled her effort into speeding towards the makeshift ramp.

A few more construction ponies had to leap out of the filly's way as she barreled past them with the makeshift ramp mere feet away from her now.

“Whoa nelly! That filly's plum flipped her lid!” Applejack exclaimed frantically as she witnessed Scootaloo hit the makeshift ramp and rocket to the skies.

As Scootaloo sailed along the skies for a short time she looked down with a thrilled expression as she sailed along for a few moments before she recalled what she needed to do. With a mighty leap she spring boarded from her scooter towards one of the low hanging clouds she saw beating her wings as fast and as hard as she could to keep herself aloft as long as she could.

With a loud “plomph!” she managed to land safely on the cloud and stood up, her heart threatening to burst from her chest as she did her best to calm her nerves as quickly as possible before she made yet another running leap for another cloud and another while she wasn't moving as quickly as she had been on her scooter she was able to get one tactical advantage; The red Pegasus seemed to have thought he'd lost her since he was slowing down which allowed her to quickly gain on the unsuspecting stallion.

A few minutes later and she was right above the Pegasus. Without warning, she leaped off the cloud and tackled the Pegasus mid-air which caused both ponies to fall out of the skies for a few moments before the stallion managed to regain his balance. “You crazy mule, you're gonna get us both killed! Let go!” he exclaimed as he attempted to fling her off but Scootaloo held on firmly to the Pegasus.

“No! Not until you tell me why you have this saddle-pack!” Scootaloo exclaimed fiercely as she held on for dear life while the stallion continued to attempt to fling her off.

Meanwhile below Applejack and Sweetie Belle had caught up to the Pegasus and their expression's immediately became fearful and panicked as they saw the stallion continue to attempt to fling the filly off to her death.

“Ah take back what Ah said, she hasn't flipped her lid, she's gone to crazyvile and booked a hotel room!” Applejack exclaimed as she continued to gallop at full speed past the construction ponies whom looked on in confusion. Due to the fact that Scootaloo was slowing the Pegasus down, Applejack was quickly able to catch up to the two, come to a halt, put Sweetie Belle down, reach into her saddle-pack, and take her lasso out which she began to swing in the air at a fast pace until she flung it at the stallion which managed to wrap around its left hind leg.

“Get your hooves on the ground this instant, ya varmint!” Applejack exclaimed as she tugged hard on the rope causing the stallion to snap his gaze down to Applejack.

“You've gotta be bucking kidding me! How did that mare managed to snag my hoof from all the way up here?!” The Pegasus exclaimed incredulously as he gave another started gasp as Applejack gave another tug on her rope.

“Do what she says!” Scootaloo exclaimed as she deliberately wrapped her right hoof around the stallion's left-wing which caused the two to plummet to the ground for a few moments before the Pegasus managed to snap his wing from under her grasp and remain aloft. By this point however he was close enough to the ground that a fall wouldn't cause more than a few bruises at most.

Applejack took this moment to give one last hard tug at her rope which caused the Pegasus to drop low enough for Scootaloo to hop off safely and Applejack to tackle and hogtie the Pegasus.

“Now ya varmint. Ah got a few questions for ya and ya best be answerin them honestly or ya is gonna be findin out how mean us country folk can be!” Applejack exclaimed with a glare at the stallion whom stared at the mare's glaring expression fearfully and nodded silently.

“Are you sure this is the same neighborhood as before?” Babs asked as the two walked down the sidewalk.

“Positive.” Silverspoon replied.

“Only fools are positive.” Babs countered as she looked at each of the houses they passed.

“Are you sure?” Silverspoon retorted with a smirk.

“I'm- Nice try Silverspoon.” Babs began to say only to cut herself off and smirk at the filly having successfully catching herself before she walked in on the obvious joke.

“So how do you suggest we go about finding out which house Diamond Tiara is in?” Silverspoon asked curiously as the two watched ponies walk up and down the street.

“Well, unlike yesterday, there are plenty of ponies out here today so lets ask some if they saw Diamond Tiara.” Babs replied as a well dressed stallion walked passed them.

“And how would they know what she looks like?” Silverspoon asked skeptically with an expression to match it.

“With that photograph you have in your saddle-pack.” Babs replied confidently with a smirk.

“What makes you think...” Silverspoon began to protest until she trailed off and sighed with a sour expression as she reached into her saddle-pack and pulled out the photograph of her and Diamond Tiara.

“Nope, haven't seen one like that.”

“Do your parents know that you're talking to strangers?”
“Sorry, haven't seen her. Wish I could have been more help.”

“Say, do you fillies want to earn your cutie marks? Hop in my carriage and we'll go earn them!”

“Um, I need an adult!!!” Silverspoon shouted at the top of her lungs at which point the shady looking stallion quickly drove his carriage down the street and out of sight.

“Don't you fillies have anything better to do than to pester random ponies?!”

“Chocolate!!!”

Both fillies stared at the crazed stallion as he ran down the street screaming the same word over and over. “Wow, um, maybe we should stop asking random ponies now?” Silverspoon remarked as the crazed stallion made a left turn at the end of the block and vanished from sight.

“Lets ask a few more.” Babs replied though she wasn't exactly sure this was a good idea herself.

“Uhhhhhhhhh......”

Babs and Silverspoon both stared at the stallion whom upon hearing this question suddenly began to stare off with a stupefied expression and continue to utter the same response over and over as a stream of droll dripped from the lower left of his mouth.

“Ya know. For some reason, I think this is normal for this pony.” Babs replied looking at the pink stallion wearing green pants with a purple flower pattern running along them.

“Hello filly!”

Babs and Silverspoon stared at the colt whom seemed to be panting like a dog at them with annoyed expressions. “Colts...” Babs remarked with an eye-rolling gesture before she walked away from the colt followed by Silverspoon.

“Brilliant plan Babs! We got no leads and ran into ponies who act like they belong in a crazy bin!” Silverspoon exclaimed and sighed.

Memories,

Like the corners of my mind...

“Hey, at least I had a plan! I didn't see you comin up with anythin!” Babs retorted with a glare.

Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were...

“I bet I could come up with something better than-” Silverspoon began to retort only for a faint voice to cut her off mid-sentence.

Scattered pictures,

Of the smiles we left behind

Smiles we gave to one another

For the way we were

“I know that voice...” Silverspoon remarked aloud at the faint voice that Babs was now hearing as well. The two began to walk in the direction of the voice which was becoming louder and more audible with each passing moment.

Can it be that it was all so simple then?

Or has time re-written every line?

If we had the chance to do it all again

Tell me, would we? could we?

“Whoever dat is has some voice. But your right, it does sound familiar.” Babs remarked as the two continued to walk towards the mysterious singing voice until they stopped in front of a house and were able to hear it clear as day.

Memories, may be beautiful and yet

What's too painful to remember

We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter

We will remember

Whenever we remember...

The way we were...

The way we were...

The voice sung these final lines and soon faded. “Who was dat?” Babs asked curiously as she looked at Silverspoon only to do a double take on the silver furred filly whose eyes were streaming with tears.

“I haven't heard her sing in years but I'd never forget that wonderful voice. Tiara! It's me, Silverspoon!” Silverspoon called out only for Babs to snap her hooves over the filly's snout.

“Even if dat is Diamond Tiara, did ya already forget that Filthy Rich sent her out her to be away from ya?! If ya expose yourself right here and now then her mom is gonna know we're here!” Babs hissed in a hushed voice.

Silverspoon wiggled her way from the city filly's grip and charged up the stone steps and towards the house. “I don't care!” She shouted as she ran up to the door and began to bang on the door.

Just before the door opened however, Silverspoon was tackled to the side by Babs into the bushes on the left hand side of the house and held firmly in place with her hooves holding the filly's mouth shut. “Have ya flipped your lid?! If ya show up here and now then her mom is just gonna call the police ponies on us and have ya shipped back to Ponyville without seein her face! We need to wait till she leaves the house then ya can talk to her!” Babs whispered as softly as she could into Silverspoon's ear as an adult mare stepped out, looked around with a confused expression on her face walked back inside, and closed the door behind her.

“But... but...” Silverspoon whispered back tears streaming from her eyes before she began to sob softly on the spot. “You're right...” she said finally after a few moments though that didn't stop her eyes from continuing to stream tears as the two silently made their way away from the house with Silverspoon giving one last tear-filled look at it.

“I'll be back Tiara, please wait for me!”

“Wow Applejack, you can scary sometimes ya know?” Scootaloo remarked with a nervous expression towards the mare as they headed in the direction that Applejack had “convinced” the Pegasus to give her.

“Mah little sister is somewhere in this consarned city and now Ah find out she's been mugged to boot, course Ah'm gonna scary with ponies who might have harmed mah family. Now let's get lookin in the spot that varmint told us he found them at.” Applejack replied not bothering to look at the Pegasus filly as she continued walking down the sidewalk towards the spot the Pegasus mentioned seeing them at.

As the three continued down the sidewalk, a certain billboard caught Sweetie Belle's gaze which caused her to stop and look at it. It was a large photograph of a filly no older than she was wearing heavy makeup and outfitted in an expensive dress with the words “Performing live!” printed on the bottom in big bold letters.

“Why in tarnation did ya stop for?” Applejack asked which snapped the filly out of her stare.

“That filly. Doesn't she look kind of like Applebloom?” Sweetie Belle remarked as she turned her gaze to look back at the billboard.

“Of course not! Mah little sister would never wear such expensive makeup and fancy garments. She's got her pride as a country filly. Plus, how in the hay could she even afford such things? Come on, let's get movin!” Applejack replied dismissing any possible connection between Applebloom and the filly on the large billboard.

“I guess you got a point.” Sweetie Belle conceded and followed the farm pony.

“And then Ah said, ya wouldn't be able to buck the broad side of an apple tree!” Applebloom exclaimed which was met with laughter from the ponies she was now speaking with as loud music blared throughout it.

“Haha, To think that a star like you came from the sticks! If I hadn't heard it from you myself I wouldn't have believed it!” A dark blue mare wearing a very expensive ensemble exclaimed with yet another hearty laugh.

“It must have been dreadful having to do all that manual labor. I simply couldn't image myself doing such crude work! Why the very thought makes me want to run the toiletries and wash my hooves.” A stallion remarked with an audible shudder.

“It wasn't that bad. Ah mean, when ya grow up on the farm it's only natural to grow up workin like Ah did.” Applebloom replied feeling slightly put off by the stallion's remark.

“Forgive me. I didn't mean to insult your upbringing but you have to admit that this life is better than working on a farm.” The stallion replied in an apologetic tone.

“Ya got me thar. Hey, can Ah get another glass of apple juice over here?!” Applebloom replied before she turned to shout out to a waitress whom nodded in acknowledgment before she ran off to get her order.

“Yes, Applebloom's new lifestyle is better than her old one and she's adapting to it quite well might I add.” Showtime remarked to the ponies whom nodded in agreement with this statement.

“Well, I simply must have you come perform at my hotel sometime. Can I pin you in for a performance this upcoming weekend?” The mare asked as she pulled a pen and paper from her purse and looked expectantly at the filly only for the stallion to jump in front of her.

“No, You must come perform at my club! Having a star like you would skyrocket it's popularity!” The stallion exclaimed in front of the mare much to her annoyance.

“Now, now. No need to degrade ourselves to petty competitiveness now. Applebloom would be more than happy to perform at both wouldn't you Applebloom?” Showtime injected as he looked at Applebloom along with the stallion and mare.

“Of course Ah would. Ah reckon we can arrange a modest rate can't we Showtime?” Applebloom replied finally with a coy smirk at her agent who shared the expression.

“I must say Applebloom, you handled yourself like a true professional in there! Why those two won't object to even a two thousand bit price for your presence at their businesses!” Showtime exclaimed in a genuinely impressed tone.

“What can Ah say? Ah know how to make a pony melt in the sole of my hoof!” The farm filly replied confidently as the two left the club.

“Say, why don't celebrate? I'm sure the music company wouldn't mind expending a little of their assets in exchange for the profit we'll be making this upcoming weekend!” Showtime replied as the two hopped in the carriage.

“Sure why not. Lets head to that restaurant Ah like.” Applebloom replied and motioned for the carriage to head in that direction.

SEVERAL HOURS LATER...

The door to the suite swung open at around three o'clock in the morning as a tired filly walked through it. “Applebloom? Where were you?! You've never come home this late!” Babs exclaimed as she ran up to the her lover and held her tightly.

“Babs? Why are ya still awake?” Applebloom asked sleepily as she looked back at the city filly's worried expression.

“I was worried about you. I fell asleep around ten and woke up around twelve to realize you still hadn't come home. Did Showtime keep you out this late? I swear, when I get my hooves on that stallion-”

“No, it wasn't his fault. See, we caught a big break with the ponies we met and we decided to go out and celebrate. Ah didn't mean to stay out so late but time has a habit of flyin these days.” Applebloom replied cutting off the city filly whom blinked twice at her as this information set into her brain.

Once it had however, Babs' expression went from worried to extremely pissed off. “Ya mean to tell me that you stayed out this late without so much as havin a mail pony drop me a letter to let me know you're okay... Just to go out and party?!” Babs roared at the top of her lungs at the farm filly.

“Ah'm sorry, okay?!” Applebloom exclaimed back feeling hurt and upset that her lover wasn't being as understanding as she thought she would be.

“No Applebloom, sorry isn't gonna cut it this time! Ya worried me half to death for nothin and ya expect me to say its okay? Buck dat!” Babs roared as she huffed and puffed at her fillyfriend.

“So what do ya want me say then?! Sorry for bein popular and makin us money?!” Applebloom roared back her temper quickly being raised to its breaking point due to Babs' shouts and angry attitude towards her.

Babs opened her mouth to speak, closed it, opened it again, and let out an aggravated cry as she ruffled up her mane before she turned around and walked towards the bedroom. “I'm goin to bed and I don't wanna see ya for the rest of the night. Take the other bedroom we got here because I need some time to clear my head before I say somethin I might regret.” Babs replied finally and slammed the bedroom door behind her.

“What in the name of Luna's moon is going on?” Silverspoon asked drowsily as she opened the door to her room and looked at Applebloom with a half-awake expression.

“None of ya consarned business. Go back to bed.” Applebloom replied snootily before she walked over to the kitchen and took out a bottle of apple juice.

“Fine. No need to get snappy with me.” Silverspoon replied agitatedly before she turned about-face and closed her bedroom door behind her.

“What the hay is wrong with Babs these days? Ah thought she'd be happy that Ah'm movin up in the world but instead she's treatin me like some kind of inconsiderate varmint! Ah'm not the one who pushed me to get into this singin career, so why the hay is she bein like she is?!” Applebloom thought to herself as she chugged down the bottle of apple juice and tossed into the trashcan a little harder than she had intended to.

Applebloom's eyes opened drowsily the next morning as the sun from the window shined through into the room. She had apparently fallen asleep on the couch without meaning to. It was about this time that Babs came out from the bedroom with a guilt stricken expression on her face as she approached the still half awake farm filly.

“Listen Applebloom, I'm sorry about last night. I was runnin on a lack of sleep and I shouldn't have yelled at ya like I did.” Babs apologized as she hung her head low to her lover.

“It's okay. So was Ah. Lets just let last night go and move on okay?” Applebloom replied as she motioned for Babs to sit next to her on the couch which the city filly did so and cuddled up next to her fillyfriend affectionately.

“So, when's showtime comin to pick ya up?” Babs inquired curiously as she ran a hoof gently through Applebloom's mane.

“He gave me the day off on account of our recent success in landin those two gigs.” Applebloom replied as she gave Babs a soft peck on the forehead.

“So we got the whole day to do whatever we want?” Babs asked as she began to kiss along her lover's neck which sent shivers up the farm filly's spine.

“Y-Yeah but Ah'm gettin the feelin ya already got somethin in mind.” Applebloom replied as she let out a soft moan as Babs' kisses trailed down her neck towards her underside.

Babs let out a soft giggle in response to this as she continued kissing down her lover's underside until she stopped at one of Applebloom's teats and began to suckle the left one causing Applebloom to let out a sharp pleasured moan. “Sh-Shouldn't we be doin this in the bedroom? What if Silverspoon wakes up?” Applebloom replied in half-protest as she felt her neither-regions growing wet and warm.

“I could care less. It's been too long since I've tasted you and I'm thirsty for some of that apple juice of yours. So I'm gonna drink it from the tap” Babs replied coyly before she buried her face in Applebloom's olive colored slit causing the farm pony to arch up and place both hooves on her lover's head as Babs' tongue danced around inside her.

“Oh Babs... keep goin... Mmmph!” Applebloom moaned out as she felt Babs' tongue run along her now soaking wet inner walls and occasional tickling of the rough part of her love tunnel.

Babs soon ventured her tongue from within the farm filly's slit out toward the nub and began to lick along and suckle it causing the farm pony's front hooves to flail about and look for something to clamp onto. “Ya keep givin that so much attention and I'm gonna squirt!” Applebloom exclaimed between moans as she buckled the lower half of her body now involuntary into Babs' face.

Much to Applebloom's annoyance however, Babs suddenly withdrew from her pleasurable assault and climbed back on the couch. She then moved Applebloom's body so it was laying flat-out along the couch, climbed up on top of the farm filly, and locked lips with her before she broke the kiss and turned around so that her dripping orange slit was hovering over Applebloom's face now.

Applebloom stared at it for a few moments taking note of the fact that a few drops of Babs' fluids had dripped onto her face before she placed a hoof on each side of Babs' hunches and lowered it onto her mouth. She then began to suckle the right half of her lover's folds as Babs resumed suckling her clit causing both fillies to moan out into each others dripping love tunnels.

“Deep your tongue inside cuz. I wanna feel you inside me.” Babs remarked in a half moan prior to dipped her tongue back into her lover's olive colored cunt taking in every single drop of Applebloom's juices in as if it was the last source of liquid on the face of Equestria.

Applebloom of course obliged to her lover's request but her body was already nearing it's breaking point which was making it increasing hard to concentrate on the task at hoof. She was so close before and now she was getting that close once again to giving Babs a large dose of her filly juices. “Babs, Ah can't hang on much longer. I'm gonna soak your face if ya keep that up.” Applebloom managed to utter out between moans as she continued to attempt to focus on getting her lover off.

“Don't hold out on my account.” Babs replied quickly before she focused solely on Applebloom's clit, nibbling, licking, and suckling it.

This most recent pleasurable assult was too much for Applebloom to take which caused her body to seize up and cry out as her olive color slit began to spasm and a flood of her filly juices gush from her neither-regions against Babs' face and onto the couch.

The city filly was quick to lap at her lover's quivering slit taking in every drop of her orgasmic juices as she could with her mouth and tongue. Applebloom's orgasm slowly subsided leaving her huffing and puffing though she was still staring straight at her lover's orange cunt which she knew needed the attention of her tongue.

“Now dat's what I call, drinkin from the tap. Ya still taste as sweet as ever cuz.” Babs remarked with a smirk as she looked back at her lover revealing her filly juice soaked face.

This remark caused the farm filly to blush furiously and give her lover a swift yet soft slap on the rump which caused Babs' mane to stand on end for a moment and jolt her hindquarters up in surprise at this sudden assault to her hindquarters. “That's for makin me blush.” Applebloom replied coyly with a smirk.

“But I made ya do enough of dat already.” Babs countered only to get another swat to the hindquarters which caused her to jolt up again.

“Ya keep givin me lip and Ah just might pick me up a spankin fetish.” The farm filly remarked which caused Babs to look at her with a worried expression for a moment before it turned into a grin. “Now lower those hindquarters of yours so Ah can get a taste.” The farm filly ordered to which Babs obeyed without question.

The city filly lowered herself down on her lover expecting a tongue but got something far more filling instead which caused her to turn her head to look back at Applebloom whom continued to thrust her hoof in and out of her orange-colored slit while she ran her tongue up and down Babs' clit causing the city filly to snap her view forward and arch up at the pleasure she was receiving. “Dear Celestia, I love it when you hoof me!” Babs exclaimed between moans as she bucked her hindquarters in rhythm to her lover's thrusts feeling her body grow closer and closer to its much-needed release.

“Ah know ya do. Ah also know that when Ah do this...” Applebloom replied as she purposely trailed off and thrust her hoof in as hard and deep as it could go which caused Babs to arch up and cry out in ecstasy. “It drives ya wild.” She finished with a smirk and withdrew her hoof moments afterward.

“W-Why did ya take it out?” Babs stuttered as she looked back at Applebloom with her eyes glazed over from the amount of pleasure she was recieving.

“Ah don't want ya squirtin just yet.” She replied with a smirk before she dipped her tongue inside Babs' love tunnel however she knew she was teasing the city filly at this point since her tongue was purposely barely moving inside Babs' soaking wet folds at this point.

“Q-Quit teasing me Applebloom! G-Give me dat final push already.” Babs stuttered sounding annoyed by the fact she was pushed so close only to feel her climax slowly drifting away from her now. She expected this however. Applebloom seemed to love teasing her when they made love and while she loved this fact about the farm pony, it was also the one thing she hated most since she loved to tease her at critical moments like these.

Applebloom waited a few moments longer, relishing in the fact she was making her lover practically beg for release. She knew however, that if she waited too long that Babs' impending orgasm would slip away completely. She then leaned forward and gave her lover's clit a firm yet gentle bite which caused the city filly to cry out as her orgasm which was threatening to slip away completely rushed back and hit her ten fold. Babs' legs gave way and her hindquarters fell squarely on Applebloom's face as her slit expelled it's love juices all over her face and hair. Unlike Applebloom, Babs was a gusher. So when this filly came, she came in buckets and this time was no exception.

By the time Babs' orgasm subsided, Applebloom's mane was nearly soaked and her face looked as if he had a transparent glaze on it.

“I guess that's what they call make-up sex.” Silverspoon's voice rang out which caused both fillies to snap themselves up to see Silverspoon grinning from ear to ear a short distance from the couch.

“Don't tell me...” Applebloom remarked trailing off with a crimson red blush.

“You were watching the whole time?” Babs added seemingly finishing the sentence that her lover was unable to finish.

“Oh don't get your manes in a knot, I only saw you soak Applebloom's face. Didn't know you were a gusher Babs.” Silverspoon replied with a coy smirk.

“I swear, if I wasn't still recoverin, I'd rearrange your snout!” Babs exclaimed with a pissed off expression just before her legs gave way once again and continued to huff and puff. If the city's filly's face could get any more red, it may as well have resembled an apple.

“Don't get mad at me! It wasn't my idea to do it in the living room where anypony walking in could see me.” Silverspoon replied defensively before she turned about-face, walked back to her room, and closed the door behind her.

“She's got a point thar Babs. It was your idea to do it and as Ah recall, your exact words were; Ah could care less, when Ah suggested we take our fun to the bedroom to avoid Silverspoon walkin in on us.” Applebloom remarked and allowed her head to flop on the arm or the couch with a sigh still blushing beat red.

The only thing Babs could say in response to this was a set of inaudible growls and agitated groans...
