A More... Private Party
The Morning After

The Party's Started!

The party was in full swing, and the Cakes (with Pinkie Pie’s inevitable and invaluable help) had gone all out with the decorations and the treats. In fact, to celebrate the anniversary of their shop opening they had created a new special: pumpkin-carrot cupcakes! They had even thought ahead and made a tin of them just for Pinkie Pie, and the pink pony was now bouncing through the place giggling and putting frosting on noses and faces whenever she got close to somepony.

Twilight Sparkle had started one of her odd but exuberant dances and soon everypony was laughing and dancing with her, making quite a ruckus as they celebrated. Rainbow Dash followed their movements in the air, her wings leaving trails of tickled giggling whenever she swooped close to the dancers. Even Rarity was letting loose a little bit, helped along by Pinkie Pie, who made sure her glass was always full.

Fluttershy watched all of this with a small but happy smile. She loved seeing her friends have fun even when she wasn't up to joining in. As she nibbled a cupcake she looked around, hoping to spot Applejack when she showed up. She wasn't worried, though, as she knew the putative leader of the Apple family had a busy schedule. The thought of seeing her made her smile a little brighter; something about the earth pony always made Fluttershy feel safe and grounded.

As if summoned by the yellow pegasus' thoughts, Applejack threw open the door with a hearty "Howdy, y'all!" She was greeted with an enthusiastic cheer and pulled right into the revels. A small blush appeared on Fluttershy’s cheeks as her eyes followed the Stetson hat bobbing above the crowd.

Applejack caught sight of Fluttershy shortly after arriving. Breaking free of the crowd in the hope of speaking with the shyest pony in Equestria, the blonde-maned mare grabbed two mugs of hard cider - provided free of charge by Sweet Apple Acres for the celebration - and joined her friend.

"Howdy sugarcube," she said while offering her one of the mugs. "What's got ya hidin' out over-"

"Hey AJ!" Rainbow Dash interjected, hovering over Octavia and Lyra who were in conversation about an upcoming music concert. Rainbow landed beside Applejack and grabbed her foreleg. "Snapple is boasting that he can best anypony at bobbing for apples just because he grabbed two at once, but it was an accident since one was caught in his teeth by the stem. I know you're better than him ‘cause you're better than me at it. C'mon, you gotta show him who’s boss!"

"Ah, uh," Applejack stammered, her competitive spirit at odds with her sense of manners. She had come over here to chat and have a drink with Fluttershy and it would be rude to leave now.

Fluttershy had gasped slightly at Rainbow's sudden appearance but still smiled at her friend’s enthusiasm. As Applejack hesitated, though, she ducked her head a little, her mane flowing over one eye as her gaze dropped to the floor between the orange pony's feet. "It... it's okay, Applejack," she said quietly, "go show them how good you are."

A slight blush reappeared on Fluttershy's face, and she whispered, "I'll be here when you get back," so quietly that she was sure she wouldn't be heard over the din of the party. Her eyes flicked up for a moment to Applejack's shoulders, but she couldn't quite meet her friend's eyes. Instead her ears twitched forward a bit as she marveled at the soft orange over hard muscles that farming had given the earth pony.

Applejack smiled at Fluttershy and said "Ah'll be back lickety split Fluttershy, don't you go wanderin' off."

"Yes?" a nearby colt asked, "Did somepony call me?"

"No, Licketty Split," Rainbow Dash said to him, clearly resisting an urge to smack herself with her hoof in exasperation.

Applejack just laughed, downed her mug of cider in one long smooth swallow, and followed Dash back through the crowd of jocular ponies. She quickly glanced back at Fluttershy and got the strangest impression that her friend was checking her out.

Nah, couldn’t be, she thought. Not that I'd mind one bit! She had, on more than one occasion, thought about taking Fluttershy on a walk through the orchards but had always figured she hankered after Rainbow Dash. She certainly didn't want to make the timid mare feel pressured to make a choice between her friends.

"Helloooooooooooo!" Rarity said as she appeared next to Fluttershy after the athletes had left. Her smile was radiant and her blue eyes sparkled.

Another gasp escaped Fluttershy as the fashionista accosted her, looking resplendent in one of her latest outfits. For a second the pegasus considered bolting, but with a little shiver she stood her ground, her eyes flicking to Applejack.

"Oh, um... hi, Rarity," Fluttershy said just loudly enough to be heard. "It’s good to see you. Are you having a good time?"

"Oh darling, of course! Mr. and Mrs. Cake may not be up on the latest in couture," Rarity replied with an inaudible but still visible sniff, "but their treats and parties are always the best!

"And what about you?" said the white unicorn with a small, sly grin, her eyes trying to follow Fluttershy's gaze. "It looks to me like you're on the hunt!"

Fluttershy's eyes widened and she took a step back, one hoof coming up in alarm. "Oh! Um... I don't...” Blushing furiously, her eyes darted around as if she was looking for the nearest exit.

It was Rarity's turn to blush a bit and she laughed to cover her embarrassment. "Now now, don't you worry. I won't say a thing, and wouldn't even if I knew who you were mooning over! But my darling," she lowered her voice to a conspiratorial whisper, leaning closer to her friend, "will you tell me? I'm dying to know!"

Fluttershy stammered incoherently, unsure how to proceed, then looked into Rarity's eyes. She was afraid, but she knew she could trust her friend. "O... okay. It's... um..." her eyes flicked back to her crush, who was laughing around two apples she had just bobbed for. "It's Applejack."

“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?” Rarity cried rather loudly as her eyes bulged out in surprise. A few ponies looked their way, but as Rarity fell silent, her cheeks red, they turned their attention back to the massive tub of water as Applejack and Snapple shoved their heads back into it with a splash.

“Oh dear,” Rarity said, covering her mouth with her hoof at the expression on Fluttershy's face. She knew she had overreacted but she just couldn’t help it. Applejack, of all ponies! “Oh, my dear Fluttershy! That's... I thought you... but really... oh never mind! Have you said anything to her yet?” she gushed.

Fluttershy had almost leaped out the nearby window when Rarity cried out. Her ears were flat against her head and her eyes were shining with unshed tears. As the flustered unicorn beside her did her best to cover for her gaffe, though, Fluttershy planted her feet to keep from running. After a moment she shook her mane away from her eyes and frowned up at Rarity, very lightly stomping one foot.

“That's supposed to be a secret, Rarity,” Fluttershy said in a fierce, quiet voice, “and... and... no, I couldn’t tell her myself,” she sighed, her eyes now downcast again.

“But if you don’t mind, Rarity, could you tell me... why, um... why you are so shocked? Am I really such a bad pony that... you don’t think she... would like me?” The yellow pegasus finally looked up at Rarity’s face, her eyes quivering and wet again.

On the other side of the room, Applejack and Snapple finally lifted their heads from the tub of water with a triumphant splash. Both of them had hold of the same apple, and when they opened their eyes Snapple blushed and let go, looking away quickly. Applejack just rolled her eyes, then chuckled and announced herself the winner “since y’all couldn’t keep your grip!”

The crowd cheered and jeered and laughed and clopped their hooves merrily at the outcome of the contest. Applejack bit into the apple she had won and high-hoofed Rainbow Dash. She found Snapple and patted him on the shoulder. “Nice try there partner, but ain't nopony can beat me at a contest 'o apples. It’s all in my veins.” Fortunately, Snapple was a gracious loser and the two parted company with smiles and a shared chuckle.

Applejack set her eyes back towards Fluttershy and grabbed another mug of hard cider as she headed back to continue talking to her quiet friend. She frowned a bit when she noticed Fluttershy looking bashful in front of Rarity and hoped the pegasus was still having at least a little fun.

“Well, no Fluttershy, it isn't you at all!” Rarity was quick to say, reaching out to touch her on the shoulder and offering a consoling smile. “Quite honestly, I had thought that you, well, had feelings for Rainbow Dash. To hear you were eying Applejack of all... Oh, hello there Applejack!” Rarity finished quickly.

“Y'all talkin' bout me?” Applejack asked with a smile, putting her mug down on the table by the as yet untouched drink she had already given to Fluttershy. “My ears are burning, so don't try lying to the Element o' Honesty,” she smirked.

“Well yes,” Rarity said, glancing nervously at Fluttershy, “We were, um, talking about how you bested Snapple in that… apple game.” She waved a hoof absently, a nervous grin plastered on her face as she looked up at Applejack.

“You mean bobbin' fer apples!” Applejack said proudly as though it were a rodeo event and she had won a ribbon. “Still champion!”

“Exactly,” Rarity said, who hadn’t been watching but had guessed at her friend's victory just from her positive attitude. “Well, I promised Twilight I would speak to her about... eh, gems. Yes, some rare gems! You two have a nice chat!” she said, quickly striding away with a very not-casual look about her.

“Ah swear, that mare's a few stitches short of a complete outfit, eh puddin' pie?” Applejack said to Fluttershy with a chuckle and a grin, holding up her mug. “Here's to the Apple Family blood,” she said, toasting her own victory.

“Oh! Of course,” said Fluttershy with a smile as she took a drink as well. She watched Applejack’s throat move as the earth pony drank, mesmerized by the movement and the shape of her mouth on the mug. Another blush colored her cheeks and she quickly looked away, her mane falling down again to cover one eye. Puddin’ pie! she thought with a little giggle.

“I’m glad you’re having fun, Applejack,” Fluttershy said as she looked back up. “You always seem to find a way to be happy." She pawed the ground with a forehoof, surprised at how bold she felt... at least until Applejack finished her drink and met her eyes.

Those lovely green eyes, looking into hers... Fluttershy’s wings fluttered against her sides, and she swallowed as a small sigh escaped her. The sounds of the party fell away as she stood transfixed. With a start Fluttershy shook her head, suddenly remembering where she was. She mumbled something incoherent and flipped her mane back over her eye, blushing furiously.

"Darn tootin'!" Applejack said, lowering her now half-empty mug. "Always gotta try to have a good time. Ah work hard all the time, so when ahm free to be ah really wanna feel it!" she said with a big smile. "'Fact, some ponies tell me ahm like one o' them rascals who don' let anythin' hold 'em back, but between you 'n me ah've got plenty o' things to keep me back from really lettin' loose. Friendship fer one thing. There are things ah think about doin' that ah know wouldn't go over well with some of my dearest friends, like you and Twilight. Heheh, ah've been tempted to let Winowna get into the Library and tear it up just to get Twilight outside for a bit. But shhhh, y'all didn't hear that from me," she added with a wink.

“So what’s up with you Fluttershy?” she asked, “You're lookin' a li’l flustered.”

“Oh! Well, um...” stammered the pegasus, still unable to meet Applejack’s gaze. “You know, parties can be a little scary.”

“SCARY?” cried Pinkie Pie as she appeared from behind a nearby cupcake. “How could this party be scary? It’s all about happy times and friends and food and drinks and laughter and yay!” Pinkie bounced around the two mares, her mane getting poofier with every hop. “I’m so glad you’re here, too, Flutters - I love seeing you, and you always make me smile, and so do you, AJ! You’re such good friends!”

Pinkie gathered them both into a big hug, giggling as she ruffled their manes. “Now drink up, eat up, have fun, dance, enjoy, and have fun!” she cried as she bounded off to bring cheer to more guests.

Fluttershy realized that after the hug the party pony had left her standing even closer to Applejack than before. While the blonde-maned farmer was watching Pinkie scamper off, Fluttershy sneaked a little sniff of her. Her pupils dilated at Applejack’s scent: honest sweat, a hint of spice, and under it all the sweet smell of apples.

As Applejack looked back at her, Fluttershy ducked her head again, taking a half step back, but the scent lingered in her nose and made her wings quiver.

“Heh, don't worry yourself,” Applejack said, “Pinkie's just bein' Pinkie. You know she don't mean you no harm.” Applejack patted Fluttershy on the shoulder and finished her cider. “Ahhh, that's good,” she said happily. “One sec sugarcube, gonna get a refill.”

Almost the moment that Applejack left the table, Rarity returned and watched Applejack retreat. Her face was flushed and her eyes were glassy; she had a mostly empty glass of cider floating by her head.

“How's it going?” she asked Fluttershy. “Did you say anything yet? You really ought to, you know! Pinkie Pie's parties, especially when drinks are provided,” she sipped at her own, “are notorious for, shall we say, ponies not going home alone.”

She gave Fluttershy a saucy wink and a sly grin, following the farm pony with hooded eyes. "And Applejack attracts quite a bit of attention, if you haven’t noticed.”

Fluttershy followed Rarity’s gaze, watching as Applejack navigated the party to the table where the hard cider was. The earth pony was talked to by at least a dozen stallions and mares, quite a few of whom offered greetings that seemed full of flirtation and even outright suggestion.

Fluttershy’s eyes stayed on Applejack as she pondered Rarity’s words. As the truth of them sank in she felt a brief pang of jealousy and fear, but managed to quell it and be glad of the enjoyment all the attention seemed to bring to the farm pony.

“Well, I... I haven’t told her, but we did get rather distracted by Pinkie Pie. I think Applejack is coming back once she gets more cider.” She smiled at Rarity as she continued, “And I really don’t mind if others flirt with her. I just want her to be happy.”

Rarity smirked a bit as she replied, “That’s no less than I would have thought of you, my dear, but if you want it to be you who makes her happy, you need to let her know how you feel.”

She dramatically sighed and let a sorrowful look steal onto her face. “Trust the voice of experience,” she said as she brought a hoof to her forehead.

Hoping to forestall the summoning of a fainting couch, Fluttershy hastened to respond. “Oh, I know, Rarity. I... I’ll tell her. Thank you!”

Rarity winked again and wandered back into the party, starting her own round of flirting. As she passed Applejack she nudged the blonde and leaned over to whisper something in her ear before sashaying over to the canapés.

Applejack looked at Rarity with a raised eyebrow as she walked away, then quickly drank more cider from her mug. A slight hint of a frown formed on her face as Rarity’s words found their way into her thoughts past all the cider. Looking back at Fluttershy, her frown deepened briefly, but then was forced up into a smile as she finished her trip back to the table where the pegasus waited.

“Heh, howdy there, again,” Applejack said, “Rarity tells me you've been eyein' somepony up.” She looked around the room, especially in the air, as if sure where to find the pony she sought. As she searched, Applejack mused to herself that she could understand what Fluttershy saw in Rainbow Dash. Strong, talented, beautiful, great personality, all the things any pony could want. Finally her gaze returned to Fluttershy, and she grinned and cocked an eyebrow at her.

“Oh! Um... did she say that?” stuttered Fluttershy, blushing furiously. She cringed slightly, her eyes growing huge and her ears twitching back. “I don’t know…” she stumbled over her own words, the green eyes watching her making her shake, her wings ruffling.

Fluttershy took refuge in her cider mug as she fretted. As she drank she looked around her - everywhere but into Applejack’s questioning regard. After a long moment, she said “It... it’s true,” so quietly that Applejack had to lean closer to hear her. “But... I don’t really think she’d... and I don’t know what to say.” As she spoke she unconsciously made herself smaller and smaller, and now she could feel her knees shaking a bit as she finally looked up at the earth pony with a tiny smile.

Applejack saw Fluttershy's cringing and interpreted it as her normal nervous condition whenever she was in a tense situation. The idea of asking Rainbow Dash out was one that Applejack could easily see Fluttershy having trouble coming to terms with.

“Ah know how ya feel,” Applejack said.

“R-really?” Fluttershy squeaked.

“Yeah,” Applejack said. She sighed and chugged her drink before putting an elbow on the table so she could rest her head on one hoof while gesturing with the other. “Tellin' somepony ya like 'em can be kinda scary, especially if ya already got a good strong friendship, since that could make things awkward. If ah were in yer shoes ah'd hunker down, walk up to'er, and plant a big ol' kiss on 'er lips 'n tell 'er how ah feel. But ah know that you ain't the type to do that,” she gave Fluttershy a slightly pitying smile.

“Ah can't tell ya what ta do or how to do it, but ah definitely think you oughta try somethin' before somepony else comes along.” She took another sip from her mug then stared into the glass, blinking a couple of times in confusion at the suddenly empty vessel. Hadn’t it been full a few seconds ago? Shaking her head slightly, she looked back at the pegasus. “Then again, y'all could always get lucky and maybe she'll ask ya out first. She's prolly that type.”

“That... type?” said Fluttershy quietly, a small frown appearing on her face as she thought it over. “I don’t know if I could try something myself. You… um, she’s so... do you really think she might ask me first?” She looked up at the earth pony, her frown fading to a happy smile as she met Applejack’s green eyes. “I mean, that would be wonderful… even if she, well... walked up and kissed me first,” she said in a quiet rush, leaning slightly toward Applejack.

Surprised at herself, the yellow pegasus looked away quickly, her cheeks burning. She looked around for something to hide under but only saw Applejack’s empty mug. “I’ll go refill that for you!” she said in a high-pitched gasp, dashing off with it before the earth pony could respond.

In seconds she returned with a full mug. She placed it on the table, then gently nosed it toward Applejack. “There you go,” she said softly as she retreated behind the table, crouching slightly so her eyes were just peeking over the top.

Applejack nodded and said, “Thanks, Fluttershy!” as she took another drink before continuing, “Now where was I? Oh yeah! Ya know, the type ta ask frist...er, first,” she said, shaking her head again. The earth pony blinked and paused for a while as she tried to figure out what point she’d been trying to make. Deep thinking made her thirsty, and in a few more seconds she had finished off the cider.

Fluttershy noted the empty glass and dashed off to get another refill. While she was gone, Applejack pondered what to say to the nervous mare. What’s it gonna take for her to do something? she thought with a sullen sigh. Fluttershy was probably going to keep on waiting anxiously for Rainbow Dash to do or say something now. Ah can't let her keep her hopes up fer nothin', Applejack thought. She'd make sure Rainbow Dash knew what was on Fluttershy's mind and tell her to make a move, because Fluttershy certainly wouldn't.

Applejack was about to go find Dash when Fluttershy returned with her drink, then retreated back behind the table. “Thankya again,” she said to the pegasus, taking a few more swigs from it quickly. Looking a bit at a loss, Applejack finally managed to slur out, “So! Enjo-*hic*-oyin' the parteh?”

Fluttershy nodded from behind the table, her eyes on Applejack. “Yes, it’s nice,” she said. “I like when my friends are having fun. I do wish...” she stopped again and bobbed almost out of sight, only the top of her mane showing.

Underneath the table, Fluttershy gave herself a very quiet but stern talking-to. “You can do this,” she whispered fiercely, “and everypony thinks you should speak up. C’mon, Fluttershy!” Taking a deep breath, she raised her head to peek above the table.

“Um...” she started to say, then stopped as she saw that Applejack had wandered a few steps away to talk with Rainbow Dash. She sighed softly, deflating and sitting down as she let out the breath she’d been holding.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash had started to talk but, distractible as ever, ended up roped into a drinking contest with Berry Punch and Octavia. Nearly a half hour - and five more hard ciders - later, she managed to find herself alone with Dash, who was just finishing a long story.

“And then I said 'Flying? I thought you were crawling!'” Rainbow Dash said, spreading her hooves and grinning.

Applejack’s laugh filled the room as she clopped the ground with one hoof, almost falling over. “That was FUNNEH!” she said loudly, staggering off to the side. After her chuckles subsided, she sighed and looked around with a dazed expression. “Now what was ah doing?” she pondered aloud. “Oh right, Fluttershy!” she exclaimed suddenly, then turned back to Rainbow Dash.

“Hey Dash!” Applejack said, unsteadily patting her friend on the shoulder. “Listen listen listen,” she slurred, “Ah've got the notion that Fluttershy's got the hots fer ya.”

“What?” Rainbow Dash asked with an incredulous look.

“Now listen! She ain't gonna make the first move...”

“AJ-”

“AND ah think y'all should...” Applejack continued doggedly.

“Listen-”

“She told me that she wouldn't mind if y'all just up and kissed her, so why don't ya-”

“AJ!” Rainbow Dash yelled, shoving her hoof into Applejack's mouth. “I'm not interested in Fluttershy that way. I'm dating Soarin, or did you forget?”

“Wha?” Applejack mumbled around the cyan hoof.

“I'm not into Fluttershy, and I don't think she's into me,” answered Rainbow Dash as she reclaimed her hoof.

“But she's been-”

“Staring at YOU all night,” Rainbow Dash said with an amused expression.

“Wha?”

“Listen, AJ, I gotta go, and you gotta go find Fluttershy,” Rainbow Dash said.

“Right... right ah do,” said Applejack, her head spinning. Fluttershy had been checking her out? But Rarity said.... Well, she hadn't said Rainbow Dash... but ah thought...

Confused, the earth pony staggered back to where she had left Fluttershy; it seemed so long ago now. Her vision blurred as she checked by the table, and she almost fell over as a sudden inspiration made her look under the table. But the yellow pegasus was gone, leaving only her half-finished mug and a forlorn farm pony behind. Well, ah blew that, thought Applejack grimly. Ah just hope ah can fix it.

Author's Note

Poor AJ! Poor Flutters! Will they ever manage to get together?

Spoiler Alert: eeeeYUP!

A More... Private Party

In the dark, Fluttershy walked slowly back to her home. Her mane drooped, her head so low that she hardly saw anything more than a couple of feet in front of her. Normally I’d be scared, she thought as she plodded along, but somehow it doesn’t matter tonight.

A sudden noise caused the pegasus to jump fifteen feet straight up and hover there, eyes huge. Looking down she saw a raccoon flip over a log and come up with something tasty, which it promptly ate half of. Breathing a sigh of relief, she flew down and greeted it.

“Oh, hello Pockets,” she said quietly, smiling a bit as the creature chittered back at her. “Would you walk me home, please?”

The raccoon seemed to consider this, then shrugged, popped the last of its tidbit in its mouth, and scampered down the trail toward Fluttershy’s house. With a sigh she followed him, and in spite of how things had gone at the party, she was still dreaming of green eyes and a thick blonde mane.

After Rainbow Dash’s revelation, Applejack left the party and stumbled down the road with one thought on her mind: the only place Fluttershy would have gone was home. The further the inebriated mare trotted, the steadier on her hooves she became; she was so used to pushing her body to its limits that even two quarts of hard cider wouldn’t be enough to overcome her determination and sheer muscle memory.

Eventually she made it to Fluttershy's cabin, a tingling excitement in her as her wobbly thoughts resolved. Fluttershy wanted a kiss? Well ah’ll give her a kiss she'll never forget! She thought as she rapped her hoof on the door repeatedly.

Fluttershy sprayed the water she had been drinking all over the table when the rapping came at the door. She zipped into a cupboard and closed the door behind her, quaking. As the knocking continued, the thought that it could be somepony who needed help made her creak the cupboard door open. As another knock sounded she crept up to a window and peeked outside; a flash of yellow mane caught her eye and she caught her breath.

Is... is that Applejack at my door? She froze on her hooves, her eyes wide, until another knock came. “Just a second,” she called, then frantically looked around the room. She moved a salt shaker one inch to the left, nodded as if that made the room neat, then trotted quickly to the door and opened it just enough to see outside.

With a little shiver she peered out, catching the orange earth pony with her hoof up about to knock again. She couldn’t help smiling a bit as she said, “Oh! Applejack! Um... can I do something for you?”

“Heck yeah ya can!” Applejack said, leaning in through the door and kissing Fluttershy full on the mouth. She walked forward as she did, pushing Fluttershy back into her cottage and across the room. She stopped when Fluttershy was backed into a wall then released her. “Also, y'all can show me to your room. Ah’m gonna rut you harder than a Windego in heat,” she managed in spite of the slur in her words. Her eyes were slightly unfocused, but there was a determined passion in them that would not be dissuaded nor easily quenched.

Fluttershy “eeped!” as the earth pony kissed her, her wings flaring out for balance as she was pushed back into her house. Applejack is kissing me! went one very happy part of her brain, while another, alarmed at the taste of cider on the mare’s breath, cried out Applejack is drunk!

The pegasus hesitated for a long moment, her usual fearfulness driven almost to panic by the fierceness of Applejack’s approach. At the same time, though, her loins responded with heat to the passion in the earth pony’s eyes and at the idea of Applejack having her way with her. But it was so sudden!

“A... Applejack, I...” she stammered, pinned by those green eyes. “You... is this a good idea?”

“Ah know it is,” Applejack said slowly, reaching up and running her hoof tenderly along Fluttershy's cheek and jawline, as though she were a fine, lovely flower to be adored and touched very carefully. She pulled Fluttershy in for another kiss, and then pulled away just before hiccupping, which led her to giggle some.

Taking off her hat, Applejack put it on Fluttershy's head then began to leave a trail of light, sloppy kisses down the pegasus' cheek and neck, across her shoulder, and along her side until her lips were kissing each of the butterflies on her flank.

Applejack lifted her tail up and draped it around Fluttershy's neck like a gentle hug, the braided blonde hairs tickling the pegasus’ chin and sliding over her lips. “Ah'll do ya right here if y'all don't take me to bed soon darlin',” Applejack said playfully, but seriously.

Fluttershy couldn’t tell how much of her shuddering was from nervousness and how much from the touch of Applejack’s lips. The warm tingle her kisses left behind was spreading through her like a pleasant fog. She managed to shed some of her fear as she nuzzled the earth pony’s tail, and her knees wobbled as she inhaled its heady scent, her eyes drooping half-closed.

As her mind finally caught up with her body, Fluttershy froze in place as she realized what Applejack had said. Then the sensation of her butterflies being stroked broke through, and she let a little moan escape her. Trembling, the pegasus opened her eyes and looked back along herself to catch Applejack’s gaze. Seeing the craving for her there – which she had so long dreamed for – made her anxiety ebb even further.

“Yes,” she breathed through the earth pony’s tail. She grinned sheepishly, gently shook off the tail, and then pointed with one hoof toward the stairs at the back of the house. “I mean, um... the bedroom is that way, if you don’t mind?” Noticing the hat on her head she tipped it up as she’d seen Applejack do and smiled at her.

“Ladeh's firs',” Applejack said, gesturing for Fluttershy to lead the way. The room was spinning slightly around her, but the movement of Fluttershy’s flanks as the pegasus turned toward the stairs was a bright point of perfect focus in her soused mind. Applejack lowered her head a bit, a fierce grin on her face as she followed Fluttershy closely; very closely. She dipped her head further down as soon as Fluttershy was in front of her and slid her muzzle underneath the long, graceful pink tail and started to rub it against Fluttershy's marehood.

She took a deep whiff of the pegasus' intoxicating aroma and then gave the slit a long lick from one end to the other. Sticking her tongue out further, she began to lick and lap at the wet folds, enjoying every droplet of flavor she coaxed out, and loving the sounds she heard from Fluttershy.

Fluttershy has just been starting up the stairs when Applejack’s nose dipped under her tail. She froze with her front hooves on the third step, suddenly unable to climb further with her legs shaking so hard. As the earth pony’s tongue explored her more deeply, her front legs gave out and she slumped down, raising her flanks higher as she cried out in pleasure.

“Oh... oh... oh... Applejack! Mmm... yes... “ Fluttershy moaned as her tail lashed back and forth across the earth pony’s head. She pushed back against Applejack’s questing tongue, her wings opening and brushing against the blonde pony’s shoulders and uncovered mane. Unconsciously, her blush visible even in the shadowed stairwell, she slid one of her rear hooves outward, exposing herself further, her slick folds damp from her arousal and her lover’s tongue.

“Please... please don’t stop,” begged Fluttershy, turning her head to look into Applejack’s eyes.

Applejack had been surprised when Fluttershy stopped and had nearly stumbled over her, but managed to remain standing, her muzzle still firmly buried in Fluttershy. She didn't hear the pegasus’ quiet plea not to stop, but it didn't matter because she had no intention of stopping. Fluttershy's flavor was so great and Applejack's lust so thick that even if their best friends and both of their families walked in right now, Applejack wouldn't stop until she heard Fluttershy scream her name in ecstasy.

The idea of rutting Fluttershy in front of their friends actually had an appealing twinge in it, but Applejack knew that was only because she was drunk enough to think that. Once she sobered up she'd laugh at the idea - but right now she was just thinking how she'd take her marefriend.

As Applejack buried her muzzle deeper inside her, Fluttershy’s cries became louder, her hooves scraping against the stairs. Her wings stroked the earth pony’s shoulders and mane, her body shaking as Applejack’s tongue stroked and thrust into her. She could no longer form words; her usual soft voice disappeared into a series of gasping sighs and mewling cries.

Heh, ah've got a marefriend! thought Applejack suddenly, chuckling as she continued licking Fluttershy's marehood.

The knowing undertone of Applejack’s chuckle seemed to strike a new nerve of excitement in the pegasus, and her whole body started to tremble. She thrust her hips against the blonde pony’s face, reveling in the agile tongue that was driving her pleasure to a crest.

As her shuddering almost shook her off the steps, Fluttershy suddenly started taking a long, deep breath, her eyes shut tight. Applejack sensed the moment and wrapped her tongue around Fluttershy’s clit, and was rewarded when the pegasus flooded her mouth with sweetness.

“Ah ah ah APPLEJAAAAAAACK!” Fluttershy screamed as she convulsed, surrendering to the pleasure and grinding her wet slit against the orange pony’s face. Her nether lips pulsed around Applejack’s stroking tongue, pulling it inside and treating it to yet another spurt of hot juices.

Fluttershy’s shout finally wound down and she collapsed, quivering, in front of Applejack, her hooves sliding down to the next step with a soft clop.

Applejack stopped once she felt the sudden extra wetness on her muzzle and heard Fluttershy's cries of pleasure. She gave her friend a few 'cleaning' licks before kissing her on the cutie mark and stepping closer, her chest rubbing against Fluttershy's rear.

“Y'all gonna make me rut ya right here on the stairs?” She asked, chuckling a bit. “Don't think we're done just ‘cause ah made ya cry my name once. We've got aaaall night.”

Fluttershy’s eyes opened, focus returning only gradually. As she got to her hooves, her knees still trembling a bit, she looked back over her shoulder at Applejack, blowing out a breath and smiling.

“I... I’ve been wanting... waiting for that for a long time,” she said, ducking her head to hide one eye behind her mane, though her happy grin was still visible. She stepped forward to start up the stairs, sliding against Applejack on the way. “And while I don’t know if I can keep up with such a... strong and beautiful earth pony,” she continued with a smile and a flick of her tail across Applejack’s nose, “I want to try.”

The pegasus paused to flick her mane back and added with a little giggle, “If... if that’s okay with you”. After a long look back into Applejack’s eyes, she suddenly turned and galloped up the stairs. “Come and get me!”

Applejack watched Fluttershy run up the stairs in a bit of confusion. For half a second, she wondered if she'd scared the pegasus away, but then the “come and get me” made sense and she chuckled, running up after her. Fortunately for Fluttershy she was too drunk to run at full speed and the pegasus made it to the bedroom before AJ caught up.

With a happy laugh, Applejack pounced on Fluttershy and wrestled her onto the bed, wrapping her hooves around her and kissing whichever part of Fluttershy happened to be in front of her, which at the moment they landed was her neck. She buried her face in the pegasus’ nape, lightly nibbling on her coat while kissing and licking.

Fluttershy’s surprised “Oh!” as she was tackled quickly gave way to happy little moans as Applejack marehandled her on the bed. The pegasus surrendered to Applejacak’s strength and insistence, rolling onto her back as they settled and tilting her head to bare her throat to that warm and supple mouth.

Feeling the earth pony’s teeth and tongue on her coat brought deep shivers all over Fluttershy’s body and soft squeaks from her throat. As Applejack’s mouth wandered over the front of her chest she cried out, stroking her lover’s thick blonde mane with her hooves.

Fluttershy brought her rear legs up to stroke along Applejack’s flanks, her head laid back, offering all of herself to the passion they were still building up. She trembled beneath the earth pony as she finally managed to find her voice again.

“I… Oh, Applejack, I... I’m yours,” she breathed out quietly. Almost inaudibly she added, “If... if you want me, of course...”

Applejack blinked and licked her lips slowly at the ideas that came to mind when Fluttershy offered herself to her. Oh my... she thought as her cheeks got rosier. Shaking her head she hiccupped. “Heheh, plenty o’ time for that kind o’ play later, sugarcube” Applejack said, kissing Fluttershy on the lips and holding her in her forelegs. “Mmmm,” she hummed against the pegasus’ soft mouth.

Lost in the liquor-fueled haze of pleasure, she held Fluttershy in the kiss for a long time. How long she couldn't be sure, but after a while she realized it had been rather longer that she had intended. Her loins were aflame with desire and she began to gyrate her hips, wrapping her hind legs around one of Fluttershy's to get some friction between her own legs. “Mmmmmm!” she hummed anew against the pegasus’ lips.

Fluttershy’s mouth opened to Applejack’s , the taste of cider tart against the sweetness of the earth pony’s tongue. She raised her hips to match Applejack’s swirling, breaking their kiss with a sudden gasp as their nether lips slid slickly against each other.

The pegasus almost frantically found Applejack’s mouth again, her kisses open and wet as she clung to her, thrusting their marehoods together. She wiggled in Applejack’s grip, shifting her hips until with another loud gasp she managed to slide her clit alongside her lover’s.

Feeling the earth pony grinding against her in response, Fluttershy cried out wordlessly, her wings popping out from beneath her to spread wide. They quivered at full extension for a few seconds before curling up to stroke along Applejack’s sides, gently urging her closer.

Fluttershy’s rapid gasping finally broke their kiss, and as she shuddered beneath Applejack she leaned her head up to lick the earth pony’s neck and cheek. The thrusting of her hips grew stronger, and as she held on tight she whispered into her ear, “I... Oh, Applejack... I’m coming... coming again...”

The moment Fluttershy wiggled her hips to get her clit to touch Applejack's the farm pony began to grind against her like a machine. “Mmmmmmm HOWDY!” she yelled as she started to move her hips, thrusting herself against Fluttershy hard and fast, her breath coming out hot. The coos and cries of her lover drove her on, energizing her and giving her a drive that she never knew she had.

“That’s it, that’s it...” Applejack groaned, “cum for me, scream my name!” Applejack could feel her own orgasm coming up. It was slow and lumbering, probably from the alcohol in her system dulling her senses, but the slowness made it feel all the better.

Urged on by Applejack in voice and movement, Fluttershy closed her eyes as she reveled in the sensation of the earth pony’s slippery folds sliding against hers. She shook violently, her wings now fluttering against the bed as she raised herself up to smack her marehood wetly against Applejack’s.

All pretense of nervousness gone, Fluttershy responded to Applejack’s demands, her head thrown back on the bed as she cried out with each thrust. She could feel the earth pony trembling along with her and tried to hold back, to wait so they could cum together, but she couldn’t stop herself.

“Yes! I’m coming... for you, Ap... oh... OH... AH! AHHPLEJAAAEEE!” she screamed as she pulsed against Applejack, bursts of wetness flowing over the earth pony’s mound and legs. In between shudders she managed to catch one breath, then suddenly vibrated almost violently as she came again, and then again, her hooves brushing weakly along Applejack’s forelegs as her pleasure soaked into her coat.

Applejack felt the rush of Fluttershy’s pleasure; it certainly felt like she was cumming buckets. She heard her try to scream her name and grinned even as she winced a bit from the volume, but even so it pushed her along her way. She tensed up as her pleasure built and her body started to tremble over Fluttershy. Applejack’s throat rumbled deeply, an almost feral growl rolling through her as she came, driving their hips together. She felt her own love nectar join with Fluttershy’s more copious wetness, and the sensation carried her deeper; her orgasm lasted a long time.

At last Applejack shuddered to a stop, almost collapsing on top of the pegasus. Kissing Fluttershy once she could breathe again, Applejack held the pegasus close, then rolled over so that the yellow mare was atop her. She looked at Fluttershy through half-open eyes and thought that she looked beautiful with her mane mussed up and Applejack's hat somehow still on her head.

“Ya look good like that,” Applejack said, her eyelids drooping as she stifled a yawn.

Fluttershy swam out of the haze of her pleasure, barely aware that she had been rolled on top of the two-pony pile. Her eyes flickered open and she took a deep breath, letting it out slowly as a long soft sigh. As she felt her heart rate start to slow she smiled down at the orange pony.

“Oh, Applejack, I... oh!” she said softly, trailing off with a little giggle. The earth pony was sound asleep, her blonde mane as tousled as Fluttershy’s. Smiling brightly, the pegasus slid down to lay beside Applejack, holding her close with another happy sigh. Feeling a weight on her mane, she reached up, then giggled again and tugged the Stetson more firmly onto her head before snuggling down to sleep.

Author's Note

Flutterdash1 and I co-wrote this story over the course of a month or so by sending it back and forth, adding a few lines to a few paragraphs at each pass. Once Fluttershy fell asleep I went back through and tried to smooth out the transitions so it wasn't so obviously "play by post"; hopefully it has come out both readable and enjoyable.

This is not my first fic, nor my first erotic fic, but it is my first pony fic. We tried to make it romantic and a little funny aside from the explicit lesbian pony sex. Constructive criticism gladly accepted.

The Morning After

As the first rays of dawn tickled the forest the birds began their morning songs, the raucous chorus building as the light grew. Fluttershy blinked herself awake at the sound and raised her head to look out the window at the nearest birdhouses. Her jaw dropped in a huge yawn, and as it ended she giggled at herself for sleeping in so late. Her movements made the Stetson slip from her head onto Applejack, who groaned quietly and unconsciously batted it onto the bed with a hoof before falling back asleep with an incoherent mumble.

The dropping hat and Applejack’s groan startled Fluttershy – in her sleepy state she had forgotten she was not alone. She kept from gasping aloud with a visible effort, then looked around furtively as she pondered the no doubt hung over earth pony. With no more surprises apparent, she crept carefully out of the bed, her eyes never leaving Applejack’s face until she was free of their tangle of legs.

Turning to glance at herself in the mirror, Fluttershy grinned at her unkempt mane, blowing a stray lock out of her eyes. She blushed as she remembered the night before, then cringed as she caught a faint scent of cider.

Ever so softly, Fluttershy whispered to herself, “Silly pony.” She shook her head slowly at the pegasus in the mirror, and seeing the worried expression there made her shrink a little further. “She’ll probably realize she was just drunk, and then...” she stopped and shook her mane back over one eye to block the gaze of the mirror-pony as a single tear escaped to splash on the floor.

Applejack had rolled over in bed when the sun splashed across her face. Grumbling sleepily, she reached up to pull her Stetson down over her eyes, but it wasn’t on her head. That woke her up some, and as her eyes slowly opened she could hear birds chirping; the sound hurt her head.

“Shut up ya-ahhhhhhh!” She groaned. Sitting up any time soon was a definite no-no, as was shaking her head, so Applejack just lay still where she was. Blearily she poked her hoof around the bed to try and find her Stetson until the sheets caught her attention. They weren't her sheets; they were far too soft. She blinked and looked around, moving her head slow. Everything was a little blurry, but even hung over she could tell it wasn't her room. She'd woken up enough times in this state to know that much.

Where the hay am ah? she thought, rubbing both of her temples with her hooves to try and work out the pain, which she knew wouldn't work but did anyway out of reflex. Oh horseapples, ah didn't hook up last night did ah? she asked herself again as the shame started to settle in. She didn't do it often, but when it happened she felt horrible for days, or even weeks.

Turning her head to one side to try and keep the sunlight out of her eyes, she saw a figure standing by the bed. He'll prolly be telling me to leave, she thought glumly, as that was how it always was. Her face started to drift into a scowl, but it vanished as her swimming vision cleared to reveal the figure was Fluttershy. The farmer had to blink a few times. Fluttershy? she thought, blinking again. That was Fluttershy alright. And she was crying.

“Fluttershy?” whispered Applejack, groaning again at the sound of her own voice and wincing at the groan. Her throat felt dry as a desert gulch, and she was decidedly hoarse. “Ungh, what did ah do last night?” she asked, licking her lips to try and get a sticky flavor off of them. It wasn't cider, and though it tasted somewhat familiar she couldn't put her hoof- Oh, horsefeathers! she thought as it finally came to her.

Fluttershy jumped as her name was called, spinning around and quickly wiping the tears from her eyes. She felt a surge of compassion as she saw how red Applejack’s eyes were, and she tried to muster a little smile to cheer her up. But when Applejack moaned out her question about what she’d done Fluttershy’s face fell and she seemed to deflate, her wings drooping to the ground.

“I... I’m sorry I disappointed you,” the yellow pegasus whispered, tracing a circle on the floor with one hoof. “I know I’m not very... I mean... um... I’ll just...” With a tiny choked noise, Fluttershy turned away and started toward the stairs, avoiding looking in the mirror. She paused and took a deep breath, then as she let it out added, “...I’ll make some breakfast, if that’s okay”.

“Hold up now, hold on.” Applejack said, waving one hoof and rubbing her head with the other. “Just hold yer horses.” She was glad that Fluttershy was so quiet; normally it was a tad frustrating to hear her friend so timid but right now it was a blessing. She wanted to shake her head to clear her thoughts but just the idea of it made her head throb in pain.

“Jus... just tell me what happened,” Applejack said, already having an idea about it, though a small part of her hoped she was wrong.

“Well,” said Fluttershy as she came to a stop with one hoof on the top step, “um... you followed me home from the party and knocked on my door. When I saw it was you I opened it and... well...” She hesitated, looking back over her shoulder at Applejack, though she couldn’t quite meet her gaze. Taking another breath she continued, “you, um... you...” She almost couldn’t continue as she blushed furiously.

With a tiny hoof stomp, Fluttershy gathered her courage and turned to face the earth pony directly. A scared but determined expression on her face, she finally got it out. “You pushed your way in by kissing me, then telling me you’d... um... rut me like a Windego, or something like that.”

Her blush now a furious pink, the pegasus managed to stammer out, “...then you did. Um... rut me, I mean. Though I don’t know if it compared to what a Windego might do.” Fluttershy dipped her head, her long mane falling forward to hide a small smile.

Applejack's cheeks slowly darkened from orange to red as Fluttershy's explanation of the night's events went on. She couldn't remember any of it. The last thing she remembered was bobbing for apples at Pinkie's party, and she couldn't even remember what the party was for now.

“Aw hay,” Applejack said, looking down and rubbing the back of her neck, her hoof feeling the clumped up mess of her mane where most of her ponytail had come undone. “Fluttershy, ahm real sorry for the way ah acted. Really, Fluttershy.” She frowned at her friend, hoping her devilish antics wouldn't tarnish their friendship. “If there's anythin' ah can do to make up fer what ah did and whatever ah said, just tell me.”

“Oh, Applejack,” said Fluttershy, her eyes widening, “no, no – you didn’t do anything wrong. I just... I thought….” She took a step toward Applejack, bringing one hoof up and almost touching her. “I figured it was just...” the pegasus trailed off into an incomprehensible mumble.

Suddenly Fluttershy jumped forward, emitting an “EEP!” as she almost ran into Applejack. “Um, excuse me?” she said as she looked behind her. Standing there was Angel, wearing an even more ridiculously stern expression than usual.

The rabbit stomped over to stand between the two ponies, then went through a brief but elaborate mime that seemed to include drinking and a lot of dopey expressions. Fluttershy watched, trying to figure it out but growing more confused every moment. Finally Angel threw up his forepaws in disgust and gestured at Applejack.

“Yes, that’s Applejack,” said Fluttershy, “w-what about her?”

Angel frowned mightily, pointed at Fluttershy, and then mimed something coming out of his mouth toward Applejack. When Fluttershy still looked perplexed he stamped the floor, did the gesture once more, then gave up and tromped back down the stairs.

Fluttershy stood thinking, the only sound the birds outside. At last her eyes opened wide and her face lit with a wide smile. “Oh! Angel wants me to talk to... you,” she finished, her smile growing sheepish.

Seeing that the rabbit’s diatribe had lost Applejack as well, Fluttershy squeezed her eyes shut, took a deep breath, and spoke. “Well, I saw you drinking and when you were here you were staggering and I wanted you to kiss me and you did but I was afraid...” Fluttershy’s voice had started to get higher, and she opened her eyes and looked right at the earth pony. She took a careful breath, and as she continued, her voice was only a little higher than normal.

“I was afraid you were only doing it because you were drunk!” she finally managed, then cringed as she added very quietly, “I’m sorry....”

“Fluttershy, don't apologize,” Applejack said, pulling herself out of the bed. She gingerly walked over to the pegasus and put her foreleg gently around her shoulder. “It’s all mah fault. Ah drank far too much last night 'n ahm sorry for forcing myself on you. But,” she turned Fluttershy's face to hers with her other hoof, looking her straight in the eye, “Even when ahm drunk ah ain't no liar. Whatever ah said last night, ah said it honestly.”

She bit her lower lip and swallowed, looking away nervously. “Ah guess ah ought to say it now then. Ah wanted to tell you for a while but ah never knew how. Ah like ya Fluttershy. Ah like ya a lot. As... more than a friend.”

Fluttershy looked into those deep emerald eyes, her gaze moving from one to the other. She quivered in place, her own eyes moist as she searched. Without warning she smiled fiercely and pounced on Applejack, surprise (and muscles sufficient to do chiropractic work on a bear) enabling her to drag the earth pony to the floor.

“I like you too, Applejack,” said Fluttershy in a quiet but firm voice, “and as much more than a friend!” And with that she bent her head and kissed Applejack hard, a single happy tear escaping to dampen the earth pony’s cheek.

Her hangover fading against the happiness she was feeling, Applejack returned the kiss, hugging Fluttershy and feeling her sense of unease and discomfort start to fade away. Just one thing lingered: why couldn't she say the big L word? She didn't know – she felt it, she was sure of that, and holding Fluttershy close like this was enough to cement the idea - she just wasn't ready to say it.

After a couple of minutes she broke the kiss and rolled over to gently deposit Fluttershy on the floor. Standing back up, she rubbed the back of her neck and blushed a little while smiling. “Listen... ah'd really like to stay, but I’d best be getting back home. Family might get worried, you know, and I still got a lot of chores to do. Uh... wanna meet up later though? Ah can come by and we can get some dinner together.”

Fluttershy was a little flustered finding herself rolled onto the floor, but gave Applejack a wide smile. Bringing the tips of her hooves together she looked up at the farmer and made a happy little “squee!” sound. Before long she stood in a single, smooth motion, then moved close to Applejack and leaned against her. She took a long, deep breath, inhaling earthy scents from the orange coat, then nuzzled an ear and whispered, “Yes, please!” into it.

* * *

That evening, Fluttershy was bustling about her home, taking care of the various animals that lived indoors. She hummed as she worked, flipping her mane about and smiling at everything. Even Angel grumpily overturning yet another salad didn’t dull her mood; she simply rolled her eyes and put a new one down a short while later.

Just as dusk began to fall, the yellow pegasus froze in place, a small blush appearing on her cheeks. She frowned for a moment, her ears flicking back and forth as she thought something over, and finally she gave a small but definitive nod.

“Yes,” she declared firmly to the room in general, “that’s what I’ll do when Applejack comes back!”

A short while later a knock sounded at the door. Applejack had returned, having spent the day taking care of the farm. Fortunately, her explanation to Big Mac that she had not, in fact, gotten stupid while drunk and then been shoved off by some stallion had just enough truth in it that she could pull it off. After a hard day of work she had washed up and come right back to her favorite pegasus.

“Fluttershy,” Applejack called, not wanting to open the door uninvited. “It's Applejack!”

As she jumped up from watching a hedgehog devour its dinner, Fluttershy bumped the table and knocked over the salt shaker. She ignored it as she flowed to the door and opened it with a wide smile.

Applejack was glad to see Fluttershy with a smile, but was a little surprising to see her with that much smile. Near as she could remember, Fluttershy never smiled that much. It was amazingly pretty and a lovely distraction after a rough day.

“Hi Applejack!” she said brightly. “Come on in!” Closing the door behind the earth pony, she turned to face her, blue eyes shining. “I’ve been working on something special today, just for you!” Turning her face away slightly to hide her impish grin, she softly added, “...if that’s okay with you.”

As Applejack took a breath to respond, Fluttershy visualized the bear, then leaped and wrapped her hooves around the earth pony’s shoulders, twisting as she fell so that she ended up atop the orange mare, straddling her hips. “What in tarnation?!” Applejack yelled.

“My turn,” said Fluttershy with a little giggle as she leaned down to kiss Applejack even harder than she had the night before.

The orange mare grinned now that the surprise was sprung and the whole situation was clear to her. Fluttershy was returning the favor from last night and going whole-hog on Applejack; an idea that was at once both hilarious and arousing. Melting into the kiss, Applejack bit back any responses and giggles she had, simply enjoying the position she was in.

Fluttershy felt Applejack relax under her hooves and let out a series of happy noises as she kissed her way along the earth pony’s jaw to her ear. She gently lipped along its length, flicking the tip with her tongue, then nibbling her way back down, tugging lightly on it with her teeth as she softly held Applejack down.

“Mmmm, you’re being such a good pony,” she breathed onto Applejack’s cheek. She laid her forelegs over the blonde’s, holding them still as she pressed close and moved her kisses to her neck. She caught a bit of skin between her lips and tugged, the scent of earth pony making her nostrils flare.

Fluttershy moaned with pleasure as she bit and suckled at Applejack’s neck, their rear legs stroking along each other, soft coats sliding together. Before long she was lost in what she was doing, and unable to resist how good the earth pony felt and tasted, she bit down just as her shin pressed between Applejack’s legs.

Applejack gasped as the warring sensations of teeth and stroking legs flooded through her. “Woah! Heheheh, easy there sugarcube,” Applejack said, turning her head to gently nuzzle Fluttershy's mouth into a kiss and away from her neck. She slid her hooves from under the other mare’s and lifted them to gently stroke her wings while she waited to let Fluttershy continue in the lead role.

Her face flushing pink, Fluttershy blurted out, “Oh! S... sorry, Applejack! I’ll be more gentle.” Looking into the earth pony’s deep green eyes she saw honest passion and trust shining there. With a happy noise she dove back into kissing Applejack, her tongue darting in to taste and tease. Carefully she started trailing kisses and licks back down the orange coat, her rear leg brushing against the dampness growing between Applejack’s legs.

“Oh mah goodness,” Applejack managed as Fluttershy’s mouth and leg sent warm tingles racing through her. Her hips bucked up against the pegasus of their own accord, and she stroked that lovely pink mane, breathing out “That’s... that’s real nice...”

Fluttershy lifted her head to look down at the lovely blonde mare who was gasping beneath her. Her look had a touch of her usual timidity, but Applejack’s moaning thrilled through her, making her bold in spite of herself. She pressed her shin harder against Applejack’s marehood, smiling wider as she felt the slickness growing there at her touch.

“You’re so beautiful,” the pegasus said before bending down to rain kisses on Applejack’s chest. “Now you stay there while I do... um... whatever I want,” she said, almost giggling as she started licking her way lower.

“Mmmm, yes ma'am,” Applejack said softly, lifting her head to watch Fluttershy's progress. She didn't need to since she could very well feel where the yellow mare’s tongue was, but she wanted to watch. Fluttershy taking charge, albeit a little clumsily, was adorable and Applejack did not want to miss a bit of it.

Fluttershy moaned between kisses as she slid down along Applejack’s body, enjoying the feel of such strength under her hooves. Each little lick brought her closer to the delicate cleft whose scent of arousal now filled her with hunger. Before long she found herself lying on the rug, her head between Applejack’s thighs, and as she looked up she met those lovely green eyes again and gasped at their splendor, her breath hot on the farm pony’s mound.

Moving slowly, Fluttershy brought her hooves up to part Applejack’s legs a little further. She lowered her head and took a long, slow lick of the orange and pink slit, using just the tip of her tongue, her gaze never leaving those entrancing eyes.

Soft gasps escaped Applejack's lips as the tender, hesitant tongue of Fluttershy stroked her marehood. It was a heavenly touch the likes of which she had rarely felt before. Far beyond the physical feeling, though, was the desire she could see in Fluttershy's soft blue eyes. Knowing that she wanted to make Applejack feel as good as she could was enough to get Applejack flowing.

Applejack’s gasps made Fluttershy’s eyes shine with pleasure, and she lapped happily at the flow, her tongue parting the folds. She slid her hooves around to cup the earth pony’s rump, lifting her a little to open her up further. Taking a breath, she dove in, her nose pressed against Applejack’s clit as she drove her tongue deep, moaning as her muzzle was covered in slippery sweetness.

“Nnnnnnnggggggghhhhhh!” Applejack groaned, biting her lower lip, her head falling back as she lost the focus required to keep it up. “Fluttershy... oh my, this is goooooood!”

Fluttershy’s eyes looked worried for a moment when she heard Applejack’s head thump gently against the rug, but the earth pony’s enthusiastic cries banished her concern. She starting humming as she explored Applejack’s cleft, the vibration rolling through her nose and mouth and thus into the nub she was nuzzling. Her hum turned to a moan as her questing tongue was rewarded with another little burst of sweetness to be lapped up.

Closing her eyes as she concentrated, Fluttershy brought one hoof out from under Applejack. She stroked along the inside of one orange thigh, then slid the tip softly along the moist nether lips she was parting with her tongue. The pegasus started humming again as her mouth drifted up to envelop Applejack’s clit, her tongue flicking over it as she stroked the opening just below with her hoof.

Applejack’s moaning got louder as the pegasus stroked her, and unconsciously her hips started pressing up to match Fluttershy’s movements. She gasped as a yellow hoof pressed against her opening just as her gyrations ground her against it, making it slip inside her.

With a happy little “ooh!” at the feel of her hoof being pulled inside, Fluttershy smiled and suckled at Applejack’s mound, her tongue making long wet circles that trailed over her lips and clit. She could feel the earth pony tensing as she neared climax, and with an impish grin she slowed her ministrations.

“Oh sweet heaven ah’m so… close…” Applejack growled out as she tried to move herself against Fluttershy’s mouth and hoof. She started to raise her head but let it drift back down as that wonderful tongue swirled over her again. She managed to get one hoof up to stroke Fluttershy’s mane, the soft pink sliding over her coat just adding to her excitement.

Fluttershy slowed her pace, licking languidly and turning her hoof a bit to stroke the earth pony’s g-spot. She watched Applejack writhe at her touch and realized just how aroused she was becoming while teasing the blonde.

Her face flushed red, Fluttershy breathed out, “All you have to do is ask,” just before flicking at Applejack’s clit with her tongue.

A tiny corner of Applejack’s mind could hardly believe Fluttershy, of all ponies, would tease her like that. Did that silly filly think it was easy to make an Apple beg? The rest of her, though, honestly wanted to give Fluttershy whatever she asked for just so long as she didn’t stop.

Giving up on the struggle, her hips still twitching up to press against the pegasus, Applejack finally managed to gasp out, “Yes... oh mah yes, Fluttershy... please!”

With a joyful smile Fluttershy quickened her pace, licking and sucking as she thrust her hoof inside the mare. She managed to work her other hoof down between her legs and gasped as she stroked her own wetness. She could feel Applejack pulling her hoof deeper inside as the earth pony started to crest with a long, low, deep moan.

Adrift in a torrent of bliss, Applejack lost all capacity for words as she finally burst, her marehood pulsing around Fluttershy’s hoof. Her back lifted off the floor as she came, even spurting a bit with the intensity as she pressed herself against her lover. The orgasm seemed to last an hour as she shook and cried out, eyes closed and head thrashing.

Fluttershy kept her mouth and tongue moving in time with the hoof between her own legs; she couldn’t even move the one inside Applejack as the earth pony’s muscles clamped down. Applejack’s surrender to pleasure carried Fluttershy over the edge as well, and she groaned into her lover as thrilling jolts ran through her.

All at once the two ponies collapsed against each other, gasping. As they basked in the afterglow they gradually took longer, deeper breaths. Fluttershy managed to open her eyes first, lifting her head to look lovingly up at the panting pony whose legs still twitched alongside her head.

Fluttershy carefully crawled up Applejack’s length to nestle against her, wrapping her hooves around her and letting out a long, exhausted breath.

A few moments later Applejack’s eyes opened, and she smiled as she snuggled the pegasus. “Woah,” she managed in a tired voice, “Ah ain’t never felt nothing like that!” She chuckled softly and nudged Fluttershy with her nose as she added, “You’ve got a lotta nerve making me beg like that!”

Fluttershy lifted her head, a nervous expression on her face. “Oh, my. I hope... I mean... was that okay with you?”

Applejack reached up to kiss the pegasus, her smile driving away Fluttershy’s fear. “Heh... can’t say ah ever thought I’d say so, but for you, puddin’ pie? Whatever makes you happy.”

Tucking her head back into the crook of Applejack’s neck, Fluttershy pressed closer.

“You make me happy,” she said with another long and contented sigh.

I've toyed with extending this but I'm so happy with this ending :) I had lots of fun finishing this story up and hope that you enjoyed my first foray into pony-related romantic clop!
