A Rainbow In The Dark

  Rainbow Dash focused on the ground below her.She was hurtling through the air,corkscrewing in a downward spiral to where Applejack stood waiting.Even from the distance she was at,Rainbow could see Applejack's eyes widen.Rainbow grinned,her cheeks being blown back by the wind,making it look like she was trying to eat the wind."LOOK OUT BELOOOW!"She yelled down at her,building up to an incredible speed.She wasn't called the fastest in Equestria for nothing.A cone had formed in front of her,and as she sped up even more,the angle of it got smaller and smaller,coming to a point in front of her.She let out a foalish squeal as she made a Sonic Rainboom,leveling out with the ground right before she squashed into it like a bug on a windshield.

  Applejack was running full gallop for her barn,but she was no match for the fast pegasus.She tried to dive behind an apple tree,only to be grabbed mid-air and dragged into the sky.She screamed,suddenly terrified at the possibility that she could very likely be dropped.

  "Put me down Rainbow!"She yelled at the pegasus,her words lost to the wind.doing the best she could not to squirm to much,lest she be dropped,she turned in Rainbow's hooves,holding on to her for dear life. I have to get back on the ground.How do I get Rainbow to put me back on the farm? She wandered.Suddenly,an idea popped into her head,and she grinned evilly.Reaching her head up,she positioned herself so her mouth was right over Rainbow Dash's ear.She sighed,her hot breath tickling Rainbow Dash's ear.Applejack could see by turning her head that this had the desired affect.Rainbow's face was a dark red color.Applejack got back in the same position.She nipped Rainbow's ear,hearing the sharp intake of breath from her as she began to slow down.Finally being able to hear over the wind,she laughed.

  Rainbow Dash stared down at her,her face bright red."W-What are you doing AJ..?"She finally came to a stop,hovering in the air.She started to descend towards the ground.Halfway down,Applejack decided to finish this encounter off by licking Dash's ear,leaving a warm wet trail along the side of it.Applejack felt it as Rainbow's body tensed,and her wings shot out,fully extended.Luckily they were already close to the ground,so it was a 5 or 6 foot fall.Applejack landed with a thump,her impact being muffled because she landed on top of Dash.Slowly,AJ rolled off of her,rising to her hooves right before Dash did.

  "What the BUCK AJ!?" Dash yelled at her,a blush flaming across her cheeks."Not while I'm IN THE AIR!"She groaned before looking around. Realising she had landed in the center of Ponyville,and ponies were pointing and giggling.Thinking at first it was because she had crashed,she straightened herself up."Don't worry everypony,I'm alright."She explained to them,making the laugh harder."What's so funny?"She asked,genuinely confused.

  "Uh..Sugarcube?" Applejack said behind her."Your wings.."She waved a hoof at them,a smile creeping onto her face.

  Rainbow looked at her wings,before understanding she had a massive wing boner,and about 20 ponies were laughing at her.Her face flared crimson red,before she tried to blow it off."Nothing to see ponies.Better not let your spouse see you staring at me like that."She nodded her head as she saw some of the ponies blush,looking at their companions."That's right.Get outta' here."She said as the crowd started to disperse."Now then,"She stated,turning on Applejack."WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?"She yelled again.

  Applejack grinned."You wouldn't let me down,so I made you."She walked over to Dash,wrapping her in a hug."Anyways,we have couples counseling today.Did you forget?" Applejack said accusingly."It's in 15 minutes."

  "Of course I didn't forget!" Rainbow scoffed."How could I?"She took to the air,hovering a few feet up.

  "Don't get me started on how you can 'forget things' Dash."Applejack waved at Dash before turning around."I'll be waiting there for ya'!"She took off at a gallop,heading for the counselor/shrink 's office.

  "Cya there!" Dash yelled before taking off to do some last minute practice.

  This was going to be a long day.
