Rare Submission

Rarity wondered for a moment where the sudden breeze flowing through her mane and whipping her tail about was coming from, but then she realized she was flying. Which, considering she was pretty sure she couldn't fly, was almost as surprising as the dawning realization that she was now being carried through the air by a blue, maniacally laughing, pegasus.

"Perhaps the mooncider was a bit more potent than I realized," she muttered.

"What was that?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Rarity pursed her lips for a moment and tried to think through the cider haze before finally asking, "Why am I in the sky? And what happened to Applejack?"

"Awe man! You should have seen her face!" The pegasus shouted over the rushing air currents, "I mean, this has got to be the best prank ever!"

"Really, Dash dear, don't you think you could have played some other prank at a more appropriate time?"

"C'mon! You know it's hilarious," the pegasus said in her boyish voice.

"She sounded pretty upset."

"She'll get over it, trust me. Have I ever steered you wrong?" Rainbow Dash asked and flashed that cocky smile of hers.

"Several times, actually, but I guess at this point I'm along for the ride. At least until you decide to land," Rarity slurred.

As they sped through the air for the next twenty minutes or so, Rarity was surprised with how quickly she seemed to be sobering up. She wondered if it were the adrenaline pumping into her veins from the excitement of soaring through the sky or the andrenaline from having Dash's face inches from her own.

Eventually, Dash landed on the stone landing just outside the front door of her house and gently placed Rarity down. The building seemed to be made mostly of clouds, with stone pillars, a tall blue tower, and twin rainbow falls pooling and draining again in a surprisingly aesthetically pleasing way. Rarity wondered if Dash had hired a decorator or if this sense of style was some hidden secret that perhaps not even Dash herself realized she had.

"This isn't going to be like the last time I visited, is it? I don't really feel like falling through the floor again," Rarity said.

"You have to admit, that was pretty funny."

"You think it's funny, but you weren't the one... Well let's just say that not all of that screaming was because of the fall."

"I know," Dash said and flashed a crooked smile, "that's why it was so awesome."

"Hmph! Well, I think you'd better apologize to Applejack next time you see her. And, actually, I think you owe me an apology. After all, you interrupted my fun."

"Only because we're gonna have way cooler fun!"

Rarity turned her head precisely forty five degrees away from Dash and held her chin up at a slight angle. She knew this gave her extra definition in her cheek bones and was one of her most striking poses.

"Awe, don't be that way," Dash pleaded, "C'mon, I'm sorry. I really am. I'll take you back there right now, if you want."

"No, that's perfectly all right. She's probably gone to bed by now," Rarity said with a sigh as she looked back at Dash and let her face soften into a smile.

"So, you'll hang out? Right? Please?"

"All right. If you insist."

"This is gonna be - so - awesome!" Dash said as she opened the front door and waved Rarity inside, "See, I've cleared all the clouds away from the flagstones so you know where they are and as long as you stay on those, you'll be fine."

"Why, thank you, Dash dear, that was very thoughtful of you."

"Only the best for my wrestling buddy."

"Wrestling? Is that what we do?"

Rainbow Dash looked down at the blue flagstones for a moment and said, "Well, yeah... I mean, you know, just good clean fun. Wrestling."

"Mm Hm. So tell me, Dashie, how long were you watching Apple Jack and I?"

"Well, I might have been flying near Fluttershy's earlier and I might have followed you from around there after you met up with AJ."

"Did you hear anything at Fluttershy's?" Rarity asked a little worried that her embarrassing episode might have been overheard by somepony else.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes," the blue pegasus teased.

"You're terrible. Simply terrible."

"I'm awesome and you know it," Dash said playfully and then pounced on Rarity sending her sprawling back on a large, thick, red mat, the kind used in wrestling practice, that Dash had obviously placed there specifically for this rendezvous.

The pegasus was surprisingly strong for somepony so light. Rarity often wished she had paid more attention during biology class, because she wondered what made a pegasus so much lighter than a unicorn. If she ever found out, she vowed to bottle it and drink it whenever she was about to step on a scale.

"Oh, you think you're going to win this time?" She teased Dash as she spun them both around and pinned her down for a moment, "I've been practicing."

"I know," Rainbow teased back, "I saw some of your practicing with AJ tonight."

"You almost sound jealous? Of me or Applejack?" Rarity teased just before Dash flipped her over and pressed her back into the mat.

"I'm not jealous of anypony. I just wanted to pull a prank and spend time with you. Killing two birds with one stone. Plus, it's always good to get one over on AJ," the pegasus said with a wicked smile.

They struggled against each other, rolling, pinning, with sweat slowly beading up on their coats and suffusing the air with the musty scent of excitement.

"I've got you now." Rainbow Dash panted as she pressed Rarity's front hooves down to the mat and pushed one of her thighs in between the unicorn's back legs, "There's no way you'll get out of this."

Rarity pressed her leg into Dash and whispered, "Maybe I'm not trying to get out of it."

Dash smiled and let out a low moan that sounded almost like a purr before launching a flurry of tiny kisses. The quickly falling and cooling kisses covered her face, neck, and chest as Dash's mane repeatedly flew past her eyes, and gave the impression that she was in the middle of a storm of tiny rainbows. The pegasus began to grind her thigh into Rarity, sending sharp waves of pleasure through her body, and Rarity ground back, trying to keep up. Dash treated everything like a contest, and she loved to boast about how she always got Rarity to finish first.

"I'm not going to let you win this time," Rarity said as she grabbed a hold of Dash to keep her still for a moment and then slowly ran her tongue along one of her strong blue shoulders, pressed her lips into the tiny well of her collar bone, and then began kissing upwards, to the soft underside of the Dash's jaw.

"Oh, that's- that's new," Dash said as she squirmed a little. She could break free of Rarity's grasp any time she wanted, but she wanted to see what the unicorn was going to do next even more than she wanted to win.

"I've been learning a few new moves," Rarity whispered into Dash's ear and then began to circle her tongue around the sensitive outer edge.

"There you are, you no good, horse thievin', barn storming, varmint!"

"AJ? How'd you get up here?" Rainbow Dash shouted as she jumped up and looked at the doorway where the earth pony stood or rather drunkenly swayed. Then she noticed the rope on her doorknob trailing off the edge of her porch.

"Doesn't matter. You and I got a few things to sort out. And I'm gonna sort you out, but good!" Applejack shouted as she charged towards the pegasus.

She crashed into Dash at full speed and they both went tumbling across the wrestling mat, almost into a bank of clouds, but then seemed to change direction and head back towards the middle.

"Who you calling a horse thief, hayseed?"

"Who you callin' a hayseed? You-"

"Girls!" Rarity shouted over them and the both stopped cold their hooves inches away from each other's faces.

"I think I've had enough fun for tonight. I'm going home. I expect this little ruckus is over now?"

They both looked at the floor sheepishly for a moment.

"Yeah, I expect it is. I'm sorry, Rare," Applejack said.

"Me too," Dash chimed in, "Do you really have to go?"

"Yes," Rarity said, "I think I've had enough tonight. I'll just take Applejack's rope down. No need to bother yourself with giving me a lift."

Rarity took hold of the rope and slid down a bit too fast. She hit the ground with a solid thump, but soon recovered and started the long walk back to her house. Opal was probably wondering where she was anyway.

"This is all yer fault," Applejack muttered.

"My fault, how?" Dash said with a scowl.

"Swipin' her right out from under my nose! And you want to know how it's yer fault."

"Awe, that was just a prank. Get over it! If you hadn't barged in here-"

"If I hadn't barged in here? Get over it? I'll show you over it!" she shouted as she pounced at the pegasus again.
