Chapter I: Shoulda Bought Opps Insurance

Chapter I: Shoulda Bought Opps Insurance

"Thank you, come again!" Rarity said to Lyra as beads of sweat ran down her forehead. She tried to smile meekly but the mint colored unicorn wasn't buying it. She knew Rarity was hiding something and Rarity full well knew that she could spot her 'problem' from a mile away.

"Are you sure you're okay Rarity? I mean I could invite you over to our Saturday night 'fun', just be forewarned that Bonbon always cheats at Twister, once she get into position to use that tongue she-"

"I-I don't know what you're talking about, I'm entirely fine I assure you. I'm just feeling a little under the weather recently, that's all." Rarity smiled meekly but she knew Lyra could see right though her. Being one half of the most well known lesbian couple in town meant she could spot a mare in distress, no, practically smell a mare in distress a mile away.

"Well, If you change your mind my offer still stands. We could always use a third wheel in our adventures and frankly Berry Punch has been well....herself, more so lately." Lyra picked up the box marked 'Private:erotic goods' and set it in her green saddlebags, half of it still hanging out.

"You sure you don't want the more discreet unmarked package dear? There's no need to go flaunting what you and your significant other are doing." Rarity said as she pointed to an unmarked brown cardboard box.

"It's fine. We get the occasional homophobic slur but most of the time ponies don't care, plus advertising this means we can help others come out of the closet. Besides..." Lyra smiled but narrowed and fluttered her eyes. "The occasional new blood, third wheel keeps things spicy if you know what I mean."

"I see, I will think about it I guess. I do want to know who has been saying homophobic slurs at you, names if you could would be nice so I can make a list of those banned from my shop." Rarity said indignantly.

"You don't have to go that far, it's mostly young colts that don't know any better. Too much voice chat over X-cubestation four I guess. The older ones are easy to turn though..." Lyra said in a flirty fashion.

"Easy to turn? I'm afraid I don't follow..."

Lyra lowered her voice and whispered in Rarities ear. "Lets just say that me and Bonbon tell them that two mares and a single colt may as well be a 'make a wish foundation' if you get my meaning. The last stallion that gave us issues had to be carried out on a stretcher when we were done with him."

Rarity's face went bright crimson. "Oh...oh my word. That's a little bit too saucy for my tastes." Rarity was having second thoughts about joining Lyra for a 'fun' night but remembered that neither of them were into her sort of 'fun'. For that she needed her partner but sadly, Fluttershy was in Hoofington for the weekend on an animal counting job.

"Having second thoughts are we?" Lyra whispered. "If you drop by we could even break out the mare breaker 3000 for this special occasion."

Well that was a big turn off. Rarity thought to herself. She remembered why she only took up Lyra and Bonbon as a last resort. Penetration play is good and all but not being able to walk straight and the after pains over the next week were not worth the mare breakers whole five minutes of pleasure. Not even counting the fact that she felt like an airbag back down there after using it, so loose and the like.

"I'll think about it. I have to wait for a delivery this afternoon before I close up shop for the day." Rarity said with as much fake sincerity as she could muster.

"Well, don't keep us waiting too long. We only have so much maple syrup for the night." Lyra winked at Rarity and walked our the door, winking on the way out.

"Finally." Rarity closed the door and locked it. She quickly pulled down the shades, breathing heavily as she ignored the burning sensation from her backside. After getting the last shade down she bent forward giving herself leverage from her chin on the side of the stage and reached both forelegs back to her neathers and began to rub, slowly.

*Clop*Clop*Clop*

The sound of her hooves colliding with one another, her heavy breathing and a "shhickkk" like sound from her neathers was the only thing one could hear in the entire shop. "Oh, momma needed this so badly..." Rarity vigorously rubbed her hooves across her sex, so much so that she fell on her side from the excitement, unable to keep her balance.

"Ha...ha...hnmmmm" Rarity moaned.

*Bzzzzzt*

Rarity shot up, her head swimming from the sudden break in sensation. "I wonder who that could be?"

"Delivery from Equestria mail service!" A yell came from outside.

Rarity, in her lust had almost forgotten she was waiting on a package. "I'll be right there!" Rarity moved toward the door and looked at her hooves, the smell of fresh sex juices was all about the room and the delivery pony would most surely notice. On a pedestal by one of her dresses was a rack of rare perfumes, some of which would run a dozen bits just for a single spay.

"Better smelling good than being embarrassed I say." Rarity quickly looked over the labels, finding one that only cost four bits per spray and picked it up with her magic. "This should do fine." Rarity picked up a bottle labeled "Autumn Pine" and sprayed a mist across her hooves. Her nose immediately contorted in protest however, the smell was ludicrously strong for a single spay. The odor was more akin to a lumberjack that had been cutting pine all day, sweat and all.

"Gross, Now I smell like pine and swamp ass. Who in blazes made this disgusting concoction?" Rarity said as she tossed the bottle in the trash bin.

"Ummmm ma'am? I'm still here and I need a signature for this if you would be so kind." The voice from the other side of the door said.

"Oh sorry darling." Rarity walked briskly to the door and unlocked it. Standing at the doorway was a grey mare with a red saddlebag and a postal service cap. She had crossed orange eyes, a sporty yellow mane and a bubble based cutie-mark on her flank. In her mouth were strings connected a brown box with a very small label on the under side.

The mare smelled the air and immediately closed her eyes in disgust. "What is that terrible odor? It's like someone got into a fight with a tree and didn't take a bath for a month after."

Rarity faked a smile, trying to come up with a clever fib to cover her tracks. "You know how it is, I have to test the products I sell and sometimes they are very...unpleasant to say the least. By the way I have seen you before I just can't put my hoof where?"

"Rainbow Dash's friend, kinda sorta crashed into town hall. Derpy is my name if you can't remember it." Derpy Set the box down and reached into her saddlebag and pulled out a clipboard. "Sign here, quickly if you could. I think I feel my lunch coming up."

Rarity grabbed the pencil danging off the side of the clipboard with her magic and signed the document, not paying any attention to the text above. "Sorry about the smell and all darling."

Derpy put the clipboard back in her saddlebags and took off into the air, hovering a dozen or so feet off the ground. "Don't worry about it, I have to deliver a package to the Wonder Bolts locker room. Now THAT is a terrible stench." Derpy gave a little salute. "Thank you for using equestrian speed mail, have a nice *urp*" Derpy covered her mouth. "Day." Derpy flew off, her face looking rather green as she left.

"My word, I need to find something to neutralize this as soon as possible. I can't be smelling like a fart in a pine Forrest while I'm..." Rarity stared at the box for a moment. "Well, doing that anyways." Something was off, normally the place she ordered from was very discreet about having the box mostly unmarked but this one had all kinds of reshipment jargon on it, including a stamp from Staliongrad.

"Oh well I guess it must have gotten lost in transit." Rarity picked the box up with her magic and headed upstairs to her room. When she got up to her room she opened her door and set the box down by the foot of her bed. "Now where is that odor neutralizer?" Rarity rummaged though her cosmetics until she found a clear bottle with a large X mark on the label. "Ah, here we are."

Rarity picked the bottle up and sprayed the contents over her body. The smell from the earlier perfume began to dissolve, leaving only a light pine scent in the room. "Oh, I guess I can salvage that other stuff if I mix it with this. I'll have Twilight look into it later, but for now..."

Rarity looked at the box on the floor, her neathers quivering with anticipation. "Fluttershy may not be in town but that doesn't mean a girl can't have a little solo play." Rarity trotted over to the package and ran her hooves down the side of the box. She wanted to wait until much later tonight but the shop was already closed up and her body kept saying yes.

"A black lace corset, a new riding vibrator, a new whip, new foreleg restraints and new leg spreaders." Rarity sat down, remembering the things she ordered. "Oh, I simply cannot wait!" Rarity began to tear the packing tape off the box with gusto, imagining all the stress from the week that she was going to relieve. "One last strip..." Rarity peeled off one last strip of packing tape and the box opened, spraying packing peanuts over her floor but when she looked inside her jubilation soon turned sour.

"A... hat?" Rarity lifted what looked like a cowpony hat out of the box. "This is...odd." It was like no cowpony hat she had ever seen before. It was obviously a stetson like her friend Apple Jack wore but with little bits of red lace that came down over where the ears would be and what looked like a leather muzzle on the end of said lace. "Maybe they sent this as a bonus?"

Rarity looked into the box and pulled out another item. Two pairs of boots, one pair with little chains attached to a leather collar that had a handle like protrusion jutting out the back and the other locked together with what looked like a pair of fuzzy hoofcuffs. Underneath was leather flank chaps that had little straps that looked like they were used to hold a tail out of the way.

"Oh dear, they sent me the wrong order." Rarity looked into the box again and there was on more item in a plastic case. "What is this?" She lifted the object out of the box, it looked like a dildo of some kind but not the one she ordered. She turned the dildo over and found a label on the other side and began to read it out loud.

"Heavy Cowgirl self-bucking dildo, the only way to ride. Warning: The self-bucking function is a little rough, those with hip problems may want to try the light version."

Rarity had heard of this toy before. She had seen it in her catalog on a few occasions but never got around to buying one. The illustrations showed that it had tendrils that wrapped around the mare's thighs and tail and would hump into her on its own will. She almost had the urge to take it out and try it herself but her curiosity turned to another topic. If this wasn't an error of her order then who was it originally intended for?

Rarity set the dildo aside and lowered the flaps on the box, looking for a shipping address. "Seven zero four, Sweet Apple Acres?" There was a red stamp clear as day on the upper part of the flap. The lower part had billing information for-

"Apple Jack?" Rarity said as she leaned back in shock. "Oh my."

She didn't intend to but she had inadvertently stumbled upon another ponies fetish, her own best friend, Apple Jack. "If I got her package, then who got mine?" Rarity sat there for a moment, the thought of another pony finding out her secret and blabbing it to others could ruin her business or worse; her reputation. "What to do, what to do." It was bad enough she now knew that Apple Jack was into bondage, a fact that deep down kind of turned her on, but her secret being out in the open was something she just couldn't wrap her head around.

A knock and a opening of a door broke her line of thought.

"Rarity, you here?" A call came from downstairs.

"Apple Jack?" Rarity knew that strong southern accent anywhere. She had to resist the urge to tell her to come upstairs.

She's probably figured out her package was accidentally sent here. Rarity thought as she looked at the various cowgirl themed bondage gear strewn about the floor. "I need to pack these up and act like I never opened it." Rarity fumbled with her magic as she tried to fit the objects one by one back into the box but found them being stubborn, bulging the box on the sides as she tried to fit everything back in.

The sound of hooves hitting wood echoed up the hall. "Rarity?" Apple Jack was coming up the stairs.

Oh my, shes coming up here!" Rarity flew into a panic as she tried to cram the last item into the box. She then quickly strapped the packing tape back over the flaps of the box , pressing it with all her might to make it stick. A knock at her bedroom door made her jump.

"C-come in darling." Rarity said in a nervous tone as she just managed to get the tape to stick.

Apple Jack opened the door and walked into the room, carrying her own box that oddly enough looked as if it were opened. "I got this package from Derpy that was addressed to you. I opened it though, it has some kinda fancy corset thing on top. Didn't dig further though I didn't wanna pry into yer..." Apple Jack stopped mid sentence and saw the box on the floor.

"Is that my package by chance?" Apple Jack asked as she stared at the box.

"Y-yes, it was delivered to me by accident." Rarity replied.

"You...didn't open it did ya?" Apple Jack asked nervously.

"If I said no, would you believe me?" The box behind Rarity burst open, raining bits of shipping tape and packing peanuts all over the room. "Well...I'm sorry darling. I thought it was my package before I realized who it was for."

"Well, this is right awkward. I guess you already know then?" Apple Jack asked.

"Yes, I guess I do know. Never fret though, your secret is safe with me." Rarity said confidently.

"Really? I mean if this got out..." Apple Jack said apprehensively.

"Oh dear, it's nothing to be ashamed of." Rarity moved to give Apple Jack a consoling hug when she hit the box on the floor with her right hoof, knocking it over and spilling the contents onto the floor.

"Oh my..." Rarity tried to kick some of the items back into the box with her hoof while in the hug but some of them fell right back out.

"Rarity, yer customers have a some strange tastes, I mean iffin I didn't know any better I would say those were leg spreaders." Apple Jack broke the hug and examined the item as Rarity worked frantically to get the other items back into the box.

"Wait, there's something written on it." Apple Jack said.

Rarity reached for the leg spreaders to put them into the box when Apple jack jerked away.

"Whoa nelly, looks like one of yer customers has the hots for ya! this bar says 'Raritys been a bad mare' written on it." Apple Jack handed the bar over to Rarity with a sly grin on her face. "I reckon somepony has the hots for ya."

Rarity put the bar back into the box and stared at Apple Jack for a brief moment. I'm sure that would have given me away. I guess I should count my blessings that Apple Jack can be dense sometimes, bless her soul. "Why, yes. I do occasionally get oglers that want my name on all kinds of strange things. I have been told by a certain dragonling that I apparently have a fabulous posterior."

"I know the feeling, at the last hoe down I was being checked out by some stallions. Said I have nice hips or sumthin. Big Mac shooed em off though, kinda a bummer if ya ask me. He can be a bit overprotective at times." Apple jack said somberly.

"Well you know, he's overprotective of you just like I'm overprotective of Sweetie Belle." Rarity replied.

Rarity didn't know whether Apple Jack was intentionally being dense or just hadn't put two and two together yet. Either way a part of her kind of regretted that she didn't catch on yet. It would be nice to have an occasional third party when Fluttershy was out of town. Her secret would be safe with Apple Jack and she wanted another partner but being a lady she knew that Apple Jack would have to make that request, it would be uncouth for her to be forward in this situation.

Wait, she's a lady too...what if she never makes such a request? Rarity thought. The thought of having a mare that was not only stunning physically in her own way dominate her made her quiver in delight. And that flank, there was so much she could do with a fit, muscular flank like Apple Jack's. The whip play alone would be-

"Ummm, Rarity?" Apple Jack waved her hoof in front of Rarity's face.

"Huh, what? Did I miss something?" Rarity shook her head, breaking her daydream of Apple Jack whipping her while in bonds.

"Ya kinda spaced out there for a moment. You almost looked like you was drooling or sumthin, you ain't hungry are ya?" Apple Jack asked.

"Well I could eat but dinner will have to wait, I still have more work to do." Rarity said.

"Same here, south field still needs bucking. Maybe we can get together later and talk about mare stuff." Apple Jack said as she put the contents of her box back into the container and tossed it on her back.

"I would like that darling. Later tonight maybe?" Rarity asked.

"Sure, ill come over after I tuck Apple Bloom in." Apple Jack stepped out of Rarity's bedroom and closed the door behind her. "See ya later tonight!"

"I look forward to it dear." Rarity replied as she stuck her ear against the door. She listened closely for the sound of hooves colliding with wood followed by the sound of a door opening and closing, after a few tense moments she heard the door shut. Rarity waited to see if Apple Jack was coming back up but no sound came. She turned her attention to her partially opened delivery. Rarity slowly opening the box and began to pull out the new items one at a time, taking as long as possible to fawn over her new toys. The first thing she pulled out was the leg spreader that Apple Jack held up earlier.

"I still can't believe she thought this belonged to somepony else, I mean if a customer asked for such a thing they would no longer be my customer. Well, except maybe Fluttershy or I guess Berry Punch, though only if she were sufficiently drunk." Rarity put the leg spreaders across her back legs, the straps magically adjusting to her girth as they automatically snapped tightly around her thighs.

"Oh, self adjusting straps, neat." Rarity pushed the bar down with her magic until they clasped down around the spot just above her hooves. The next item she pulled out was a velvet and black lace adjustable corset. "Fluttershy will absolutely adore this, she looks so good in black."

Rarity slipped on the corset and suddenly she felt something on her back legs. "Oh the brochure wasn't fibbing, it magically generates stockings when worn." On her bag legs where a pair of black and red stockings each one with a little metal clip that attached to the bottom of the corset. Rarity tried to adjust the corset but found that that wasn't required, after a few moments the corset began to slowly tighten up. The area around the chest was firm but not too tight like her old one and the straps seemed to intentionally tighten up by her backside, pushing her flank out and making it appear larger than before.

"I really wish Fluttershy were here, like that one artist said 'do side bends or situps but please don't lose that butt'. I must say though the stockings are a little loose fitting but otherwise not bad." Rarity pulled out the next item, a black laced handle followed by a long slender leather neck, ending in multiple small leather straps; a whip. Rarity lifted the whip into the air and with a crack whipped her own behind with it.

"Oh my that has a sharp sting to it." Rarity inspected the part of her flank where the whip collided to find only some redness and no cuts. "That's good, the old one used to leave marks, even cuts. This one has a nice sting to it and doesn't raise any questions from prying eyes."

Rarity lifted the next item out of the box. Twin black and red leather foreleg restraints with multiple brass buckles and what looked like a chain that led to a red leather collar. "I can put these on last." Rarity levitated the arm restraints over to the bed, setting them by her pillow and reached into the box one last time.

"I know it is here somewhere, ow!" Rarity felt a electric shock on her hoof and pulled away. After rubbing her hoof she moved the packing peanuts out of the way and lifted a deep blue vibrator into the air, examining it closely. It was around eight or so inches in diameter and around nine inches long. Along the entire length of the vibrator were small ring bumps, each one with what looked like three small bumps where little brass electrodes peeked out, no doubt what shocked her earlier. Unlike her previous dildo, this one ended in a rounded end and not a flat head like a typical stallion member.

"Excellent, this will work perfectly for both me and Fluttershy. She may be a bit deeper than me but this one spreads you slower than the old one and I dare say I cannot wait to try the forced orgasm mode. The initial electrical shock might put off Fluttershy at first though." Rarity levitated the dildo over to her bed where it stood in an upright position at the end.

"Well, I guess it's time to get on with this then. No better time to break the new gear in than the present I suppose." Rarity hopped into the bed, the leg spreaders making it somewhat difficult to position herself but nothing a few adjustments from her magic couldn't fix. Next she slipped into the foreleg restraints, the leather collar wrapping tightly around her neck automatically. "Little tight there..." The collar loosened a couple notches, apparently the gear responded well to verbal commands. She put her forelegs behind her back but before she could manually buckle and wrap them with the leather straps they buckled tightly on their own, the corset then wrapping lace around to make sure she couldn't break free. Oddly she didn't tilt over face first into her pillow, the garments must of had a built in magical counterweight.

The corset began to slowly adjust how and where it was putting pressure, almost as if it were massaging her flanks in preparation for the sexy fun to come. "Oh this feels wonderful. I wonder though..." Rarity tried to struggle against her bonds only to have the lather collar contract, as well as the corset and foreleg restraints. The counterweight seemed to give way as well as she fell face first into her pillow.

"So forceful, momma likes." The garments rewarded her gratitude by lifting her off her pillows and lifting the whip into the air. "Punish me! I've been a bad mare." The whip end cracked against her flank three times, each time dragging the strands seductively over her flank before hitting them again.

"Oh yes, more, more!" Rarity yelled.

Suddenly the door to Rarity's room opened. "Rarity, it think yer toilets weird, it keeps making funny smells when I-" Apple Jack stood there, her mouth hanging wide open.

Rarity stared back, her mind racing for a way to possibly explain her position away but came up blank. There was no way Apple Jack was dense enough to believe any excuses she could make up.

"Would you believe I was product testing, maybe?"

Chapter II: Awkward

Chapter II:Awkward

Apple Jack and Rarity stared at one another for what felt like an eternity. Rarity trying to figure a way out of the mess she put herself in and Apple Jack trying to make sense of what she was looking at. Rarity watched as Apple jack looked over her, her eyes first making eye contact and then moving down her body, scanning her until they finally came to rest on her flanks. She had already tried to deactivate the bondage gear so she could at least explain to Apple Jack what she was doing but the gear was having none of it. Instead the binds felt tighter and more forceful than before, as if getting caught in the act only made it more excited.

"So I guess we both share the same kinda, ya know, fetishes then?" Apple Jack said, finally breaking the long silence.

"I guess we do, don't we? I guess now that you know we both have secrets to keep." Rarity tried to loosen her foreleg binds only to have the equipment forcefully slam her face into her pillow followed by a strong whip to the flank. "Gah! How rude." Rarity felt the corset force the air from her as she tried to sit up, forcing her back down onto the pillow, her flanks in the air.

"You need help there sugar cube?" Apple Jack asked.

"If you would be so kind. My equipment seems to have a mind of its own." Rarity managed to sit upright despite the gears persistence to have her face down in her pillow. Apple Jack jumped up onto the bed and began to undo the straps on her forelegs when an idea struck Rarity; maybe Apple Jack could join her.

What am I thinking? Apple Jack isn't that kind of mare, she would never say yes to such a strange request. Even asking it could damage our friendship . Rarity watched as Apple Jack struggled to undo the straps, only to have them redo themselves when Apple Jack moved to the next one.

Oddly she found herself closely examining Apple Jack's physique. How her coat has a rustic and abrasive nature to it, her strong but still feminine jawline, how her hips supported her nice round, fit flank. How her leg muscles could crush a cart between them. "Oh, how I would love to eat that out..."

"What did ya just say?" Apple Jack pulled back in astonishment, not wanting to believe her own ears.

"N-nothing! Please continue..." Rarity said hastily.

"O-okay then." Apple Jack Positioned herself above Rarity, pushing her down as she grabbed onto the straps with her teeth.

Oh, how I so want to be her submissive right now... Rarity thought as her face was pushed into the pillow. She's so strong too...I wish she would just take me...why am I thinking such things? Am I that desperate? Rarity thought to herself as Apple Jack's strong body brush up against her own.

Apple Jack pulled on the straps only to have them snap back, bumping her groin and hips forcefully into Rarity's backside.

"Ah!" Rarity instinctively lifted her flanks into the air, rubbing up against Apple Jack's belly, seeking more. The straps on her stockings took this as a hint and wrapped around Apple Jack's backside, pulling her down hard and slamming two, three more times forcefully into Rarity's flanks.

"Ah, Oh yes!" Rarity moaned as she began to breathe hard.

Apple Jack managed to break free, rolling onto the floor and dodging a swing from the magical whip. "What in tarnation, Rarity?" Apple jack yelled angrily. "Why are you enjoying this? I taint that kinda mare!"

Rarity tried to compose herself but her gear had other ideas. The corset was squeezing her from the head down like a tube of toothpaste and a couple loose straps where rubbing around the edges of her sex. "A-Apple Jack...I need a favor. A best friend request if you will. Gaahhh!" Rarity bit her pillow, one of the straps had inadvertently pushed into her sex then out again quickly.

"Don't tell me your gonna ask...' Apple Jack asked, although already knowing the answer.

"Yes, please. I need you to mate no, I need you to utterly dominate me. I want to be your personal slave to do with what you see fit. Please, I need release so badly." Rarity bit down on her pillow as another wave of squeezing for her corset struck. "Please, you should know how a mare feels when they go so long without it."

Apple Jack sat there looking as if nothing registered. This has got to be the kookyest thing ever requested of me. I mean iI know how she feels and all but it just seems so...wrong. Apple Jack watched as Rarity raised her hips into the air, looking back at her with eyes that screamed ' I need help'. I never turned down a call for help and maybe I can get that new cart repair kit I wanted in the process. A sly grin spread across her face. Apple Jack hopped onto the bed and slowly ran her hoof down Rarity's spine, then down her backside, ending with a sharp slap on the flank that made Rarity squeal in delight.

"I'll make you a deal. I help you out of your little situation and you help me collect apples in the north field next Monday." Apple Jack said.

"T-that's it? I was hoping you would be a little more...dominant with your demands." Rarity said with a bit of disappointment in her voice.

Apple Jack paused for a moment, she realized this was actually her first time being a dominant. She only had a few clues as to how to go about it. After a solid minute or so of thinking the sly grin from before spread across Apple Jack's face. "Oh, and five rubies as additional compensation."

"Five rubies! That's practically highway robbery. I could get a professional for-" Rarity gasped for air as Apple Jack grabbed her backside and plunged her tongue deep into her sex. Rarity bit her pillow, trying to hold back her moans of delight. She felt another sensation, one that was amplifying Apple Jack's efforts. when she looked back she noticed that Apple Jack had squeezed her flanks in between her strong forelegs, pushing them together, amplifying her efforts.

"Hnnnmmm..." Rarity moaned. Apple Jack rolled her tongue gently around her outer Labia, occasionally stopping every few circles to lick her clitoris. "Ah- AJ, how... where did you learn to do this? I thought you were not that kind of mare."

Apple Jack pulled away slowly. She wiped her muzzle and narrowed her eyes. "You're not the only one in town that's been part of Lyra and Bonbons 'special' nights. Who do ya think introduced me to the whole bondage thing?" Apple Jack tossed Rarity over like a rag doll, The bar between her legs reacted accordingly and spread her as wide as they could. She then moved up to Rarity's face, the bar giving way and pulling Rarity's legs around Apple Jacks flank, locking them in place.

"Besides if I remember my etiquette correctly, the submissive isn't to speak unless spoken to, like a good little mare." Apple Jack put one foreleg around the back of Rarity's neck and the other moving slowly down her belly.

"So, tell me how much you want it." Apple Jack teased.

"I-I'll pay anything, just please, make love to me." Rarity was panting heavily. Her arousal was increasing as Apple Jack moved her hoof slowly to the top of her sex, stopping just short of rubbing it.

"You ask didn't properly." Apple Jack teased, rubbing just above her sex.

"P-please master. I want to be broken like a good little mare." Rarity said.

"Good girl." Apple Jack ran her hoof up and down Rarity's sex, eliciting moans from the aroused unicorn. She then moved her hoof away and lifted her hindquarters into the air. "I heard from a reliable source that this sometimes works." Apple Jack thrust forward, her hips colliding hard with Rarity's flank.

Rarity gasped for air, a shock wave of force was rippling though her flanks and into her neathers. It was as if a stallion had just given his first powerful thrust for the night, it felt as if she had been penetrated but on second look Apple Jack wasn't wearing any kind of strap on. "M-master, how did you do that?"

"You mean this?" Apple Jack said with a grin as she thrust powerfully once more.

"Ahhh-Y-yes, that." Rarity squeezed her back legs around Apple Jacks hips in a effort to control herself. She couldn't understand it though, she almost came, just from dry humping.

"Don't rightly know the real name of it but Lyra called it 'phantom stallion syndrome'. Said when a mare is hot n bothered and hadn't gotten any in a while that the body makes them feel as if they are being penetrated just from the shock waves. Dunno how it works exactly, never asked Twilight about it, but it seems to work on you." Apple Jack began to rhythmically hump Rarity with authority, each thrust ending is visible ripples running down Rarity's flanks.

Rarity tilted her head back, moaning loudly as each impact made her entire body quiver with delight. She bit her lip, trying not to orgasm from Apple Jack's humping.

B-be a good sub, if you orgasm now she will think me weak or even punish me, then again not like I wouldn't want to be punished. Rarity thought as she watched drops of sweat fall from Apple Jack's face. Wait, sweat? Is this turning her on as well?

Rarity started to notice other cues. Apple Jack's breathing was harder than normal and blood had rushed to her cheeks, turning them a familiar shade of rosy red. "Master, have you been deprived of a good time for as long as I have?"

"N-no. I have plenty of err, sexy fun times or whatever city folks call it." Apple Jack said.

Rarity smiled, watching Apple Jack lie was a rare treat but a even rarer treat was her trying to cover up how vulnerable she was.

She's not fooling anypony. That exhausted look, the heavy breathing and...was that wetness I felt on my leg? Rarity got a glimpse between her legs in-between each of Apple Jack's thrusts, she was indeed, dripping wet. The Dominatrix in me tells me to flip her over and take control.

"Oh no you don't, I seen that look before. I'm keepin control here!" Apple Jack bit down on the front of rarity's corset and began to hump furiously, hammering Rarity's pelvis like a train piston.

"Ahh, ngggh...ha, ha, ah." Rarity's eyes rolled into the back of her head. She squeezed with her back legs in an attempt to slow Apple Jack down but found it futile, she was far stronger than she was and easily overpowered her attempts to slow down her onslaught.

"Had enough yet?" Apple Jack picked up her pace, rocking the entire bed with each thrust.

"Gah...ahhhhh." She couldn't hold it in any longer. Her legs shook violently, she was short of breath and sparks were flying from her horn. She arched her back, pushing her backside into Apple Jack, her shook violently but she managed to stand up, air humping for more. An entire weeks worth of stress just melted away as she collapsed on the bed, her neathers winking, her breathing ragged and short. It had been so long since her last rut, she had almost forgotten what it felt like.

"Well, I guess that ya couldn't handle that fer too long. Too bad I'm just getting started." Apple Jack removed the straps from the spreader bar and tossed it to the side, leaving one end still tied on her right leg. "Now how did Lyra say to do this again?"

Rarity turned her head, her breathing still heavy as she watched Apple Jack ponder what to do next. "Can we take a short break? I haven't recovered from the last orgasm yet." Her body wouldn't move. She needed time to recover but her body felt as lead bars were strapped to her.

"Pardon?" Apple jack asked.

"Master, I need a little time to rest." Rarity replied in a hushed tone.

Apple jack slapped Rarity across the flank with her front leg, making her squeal. "Slave, you will be done when I said you are done! is that understood?" Apple Jack picked Rarity up by her backside and thrust her tongue into Rarity's sex forcefully, making the mare scream in delight.

Rarity tried her best to control herself but it was no use, Apple Jack had half her snout in her neathers and her tongue was spinning inside her like a cordless drill. "Ahhh, ah, ah M-master, you are t-too good! ha, ha" She could feel her vaginal walls squeezing around Apple Jack's tongue, clearly her body was ready for more even if she was not. Rarity started to moan loudly, sweat drenching her face as it rolled down onto her lips, flooding her mouth with the taste of salty ecstasy. Soon she found herself pushing her hips into Apple Jack's face with what little leverage she could muster, driving the tongue deeper into parts only the largest stallion members have touched.

Apple Jack continued to roll her tongue inside Rarity's sex, sucking and occasionally pulling out to suck on her clitoris. Apple Jack continued thrusting her tongue deep into Rarity until just before she orgasmed and then pulled out, tossing Rarity onto the bed like a sack of potatoes.

"M-master?" Rarity moaned, he legs twitching in anticipation.

"You will orgasm when I say you can, that understood?" Apple Jack wrapped the strap from the end of the leg spreaders around her hoof and pulled, lifting Rarity's leg into the air. She then laid on her side, sticking one back leg snugly into the back of her corset and the other in the front; the corset loosening to allow her in.

"Sci-scissoring?" Rarity watched as Apple Jack set her neathers right on top of her own and began to slowly grind her hips into her.

"Lyra said the weaker mare always gives out first this way, so let's see who's the weaker mare." Apple Jack pulled the leg spreader strap back, giving her the leverage to grind into Rarity with impunity. I hope I'm not being too mean, I hope this is what she meant.

"T-that isn't fair! You have all the leverage!" Rarity tried to angle herself to give herself some kind of relief but Apple Jack just pulled on the strap harder, pulling her right back into a submissive position.

"Taint no fun if there's no challenge darlin." Apple Jack squeezed with her back legs, making Rarity exhale and then slammed into her sex multiple times with her own in quick succession.

Rarity struggled to pull away but Apple Jack easily pulled her back into position. It was no use, Apple Jack was an earth pony, and very fit one at that. She knew she had little choice but to just lay back and be dominated like a good sub. "M-master, you're supposed to rub when scissoring, not slam into my backside like some kind of barbarian."

"Oh, uhhh, sorry about that." Apple Jack apologized, slowly lowering herself into position. She felt her sex and flanks touch Rarity's and began to slowly rub her sex up and down against Rarity's. "This better?"

"Hmmmnnnm, yes it is." Rarity closed her eyes, letting out the smallest of moans in appreciation. This is how she really liked it, being rough was nice and all but something could be said for being gentle as she was with Fluttershy. Each time Apple Jack rolled her hips into her she could feel Apple Jack's firm behind rub up against her own, sending shivers down her spine. She didn't know why but being dominated by a truly stronger mare pushed all the right buttons. Apple jack's back legs squeezing her each time she rubbed against her sex, Apple jack's flanks pushing her own out of the way as if they were made of jello. Lastly was Apple Jacks smooth, across the middle gliding of her sex against her own. Each time she would press in a little harder.

Rarity opened her eyes, she felt it, both mares inner labia had finally touched. Rarity let out a little gasp as she looked down to see how Apple Jack was faring. She seemed to be breathing heavily; almost panting, beads of sweat were rolling down her face and body, she seemed to be losing her stamina faster than expected. She watched as Apple Jack slowed her pace of rubbing down, she must have been close to orgasm.

Poor girl. She must not be used to doing this softly. Rarity thought to herself. That said this does give me a chance to reward master for her efforts.

Rarity used what little leverage she had and began to slowly rub her own sex across Apple Jack's. At first, the mare resisted, pulling the strap in a way that would deflect their parts from even touching but it was a half hearted attempt at best as she quickly relented any control over the situation, allowing Rarity as much freedom to press on as she wanted.

Rarity did just that, starting off slowly but quickly picking up the pace. Apple jack let go of the strap, biting her own hoof in an attempt to contain her orgasm. Rarity pressed on, panting heavily as her own inner labia rubbed vigorously against Apple Jack's.

"S-slow down Rarity, I think I'm getting rug burn from all your movin." Apple Jack said before moaning loudly.

"You're not fooling me, farm pony. I know when a lady is ready to let go and you darling are already there." Rarity replied, rolling her hips into Apple Jack harder. "I guess in the end I was the stronger mare." With each impact, each stroke Apple jack's moans got louder and louder. Apple Jack even tried to push Rarity away with her superior leverage but had no strength left to resist. Apple jack was completely at her mercy now.

"So, I'll commend you on your first attempt to be a dominant but in the end, you're still an amateur. Just look at you. sweating, panting and moaning like a mare in heat." Rarity picked up her pace, her own juices lubricating the quick glides across Apple Jack's sex.

"Ah, ah, ah, Buck yeah that feels so good." Apple Jack laid her head back, surrendering any further fight she had in her and just moaned obscenities. She even angled herself to give Rarity more leverage, which she took advantage of, furiously humping into her inner labia with ease.

"Hmmp mrrrp! Buuuuuccckkk!!!!" Apple Jack bit on her hoof, trying to hold out but it was too late. Her body quaked in orgasm, her neathers wetting the bed with fluids and her legs kicking and twitching randomly. Her vaginal lips felt as if they were winking a mile a minute, rubbing against Rarity's. Apple Jack moaned loudly, her body instinctively humping into Rarity, seeking more pleasure.

"Just a little more and....nyaa!" The shaking, winking and humping from Apple Jack set Rarity over the edge as well. her horn started sending off sparks in random directions, the corset around her midsection squeezed toward the back stopping her from kicking Apple jack in uncontrolled orgasm and inadvertently feeding the vibrations back up her body. "Oh, yes! That feels amazing." Rarity's eyes rolled into the back of her head as the vibrations and extra humping from Apple Jack made her orgasm a second time. This time however, the sensation was so strong that she nearly blacked out.

Apple Jack slowly pulled her legs out from under the corset and began to crawl along the bed. She could just barely move her body, she noticed she was breathing abnormally hard, her coat was drenched in far more sweat than even a hard days worth of work and her neathers were still sensitive; even light breezes from a nearby cracked window almost made her orgasm again. She slowly sat up and walked over Rarity, her eyes were glazed over and she was breathing abnormally.

" I reckon I need to get this corset thing off of her, she needs some air and this thing taint helpin her." Before she could try to loosen the straps herself the corset, leg spreader and the rest of the gear untied itself and laid unmoving on the bed beside Rarity. "Oh, guess I only had ta ask. Rarity are ya okay?"

Apple Jack poked Rarity and the unicorns eyes focused on her. "I'm more than okay, I feel absolutely elated." Rarity said with labored breathing. "I haven't had that much fun in a long time."

Apple Jack blushed. "Well, I'm glad I could be of service. I'll be at my farm waitin on dem rubies. Iffin ya don't mind I need to get home and start cookin up supper." Need ta get outta here before she wants seconds.

"I have better idea for payment. Can you meet me here for dinner tonight?" Rarity suggested.

"Well, I ummm... that seems a bit on the personal side. Like a date or somethin." Apple Jack said apprehensively.

"Well, think of it as an extra bonus to your payment then." Rarity said.

Apple Jack sat on her haunches and put her hoof up to her chin. Is she comin on ta me? I mean I did her that favor cause she seemed like she needed it badly. Apple Jack examined Rarity whom was staring at her with wanting eyes. Then again, four rubies seems like a lot for such a short rut. I guess I could at least spend some time with her.

"Well?" Rarity asked.

"I guess I can, sugar cube. I really need to go now though, do ya mind if I leave my mail stuff here with ya?" Apple Jack asked.

"Oh, sure. Maybe we will even get to use it in a more personal setting." Rarity said as she leaned forward, fluttering her eyes seductively.

Apple Jack backed away. She really is into me that way...I mean, the sex stuff was fun and all but it's not like I'm in love with her or anything. Am I?

"I'll uhhhh see ya tonight darlin." Apple Jack hopped out of the bed and ran out the bedroom door, her heart racing as she made a mad dash down the stairs.

"Meet me at nine sharp if you would? Dinner will be waiting." She heard Rarity call after her as she opened the door to exit the shop.

After a very short run she stopped in the middle of a field of flowers just outside Rarity's home. Part of her wanted to go back and kiss her deeply while the other part kept telling her it was wrong. She sat there trying to sort out her feelings when the realization struck her.

"Pony feathers. I'm in a lesbian relationship and...and...I like it."

Chapter III: Doubt

Chapter III: Doubt

Apple Jack walked through the center of Ponyville with her head held low to the ground. Something inside her told her that she should feel ashamed of herself for taking advantage of her close friend or how she lacked the self-control to keep her own actions in check.

I mean I know she wanted it, but what in tarnation drove me to do those things. I wasn't raised like that. Apple Jack thought as she passed by Lyra Heartstrings. Maybe I should ask her since she, no. Just keep going, don't make eye contact.

"So Apple Jack, how was it?" Lyra asked in a saucy voice.

Apple Jack's ears shot up in surprise. How could she possibly know about what happened? Apple Jack thought as she turned her head slowly towards Lyra. "I don't know what you mean, darlin."

Lyra giggled and hopped toward Apple Jack. "Your face has 'I just had sex' written all over it."

"I don't know what yer talkin about, Lyra" Apple Jack lied.

"Huh and here I thought the most honest pony in Ponyville never lies. I heard what was going on in Rarity's bedroom from her open window. You also reek of her musk, I know that smell anywhere." Lyra walked alongside Apple Jack and smelled the air along her side. "Oh, that's her alright, she was even a bit rough with you tonight." Lyra pointed at how ruffled parts of Apple Jack's coat were.

"Um, it was a really busy workday. My coat is always a mess when I'm done workin." Apple Jack lied, though she knew there was no way Lyra would fall for it.

"Sure, 'workin'." Lyra moved up to Apple Jack's ear and whispered. "Workin Rarity's flank. Let's do away with the white lies, Rarity is a screamer and I heard her yell your name from her window."

Apple Jack stepped away, tripping over her own back legs and landing flat on her back, accidentally exposing her sex to Lyra before covering it quickly with her tail.

"It's fine, Apple Jack. I'm not here to judge you, I'm just making an observation. Judging by your posture and facial cues, I suspect you are feeling guilty about what happened." Lyra reached out a hoof to help Apple Jack up. "Wow, you are heavily built. I can see why Rarity likes you so much." Lyra pulled a bit harder, helping Apple Jack right herself.

"Please don't tell no pony. I- I need time to work things out in my head" Apple Jack pleaded.

"Don't sweat it. I completely understand why a pony like you would want to keep the filly fooling under wraps. I was shy once too ya know" Lyra said with a smile on her face. Lyra lowered her voice again and looked around. "Maybe you could talk her into a four way with Bonbon and I. You know, if your into that kinda thing."

Apple Jack didn't know what to say. First, she took advantage of her friend and LIKED it and now she has other filly foolers asking her for sexual favors. "I taint doing nothing of the like!" Apple Jack shouted.

"Hey, calm down I only wanted to-"

"No, I know what yer trying to do, yer tryin to turn me into one of them city mares that makes love for fun. I taint that kinda mare!" Apple Jack ran off past a few shocked Ponyville residents down an alleyway, within moments she was out of sight.

"I wonder what's wrong with her? I never knew Apple Jack to be so ... paranoid" Lyra said to herself as she tapped her hoof on her chin.

"I think you were too upfront with her. For a pony that is supposed to be honest all the time she's really bad about accepting the truth" a voice from above said.

Lyra looked above her to find a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail casually performing a backstroke in the air. "Oh, hello Rainbow Dash. I surmise you overheard everything?"

"Yep, been following her movements since she left Rarity's boutique. She looked a bit distressed, so I thought I would follow her a bit, to make sure she was okay" Rainbow Dash said as she landed beside Lyra.

"Well, if anypony can help her through her-" Lyra looked around to see if anypony was listening in. "Her filly-fooling problems, it's you, Rainbow Dash" Lyra finished with a wink of her eye.

"What is That supposed to mean?" Rainbow Dash asked, a disgruntled smirk on her face.

"Oh come off it Rainbow, everypony knows about your escapades in flight school or does the saying 'no muff too tough' ring any bells?" Lyra finished with a giggle.

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes, an agitated curl in her lip as she sighed. "Really now? I seduce one hot mare cheerleader in Flight School on a bet and everyone calls you a lesbian for the rest of your life" Rainbow Dash growled as she took back to the skies.

"Just one mare? I heard it was the entire cheerleading squad" Lyra said as Rainbow Dash took to the air.

"As if, I'm good, but not that good" Rainbow Dash said, trying her best to cover her obvious dishonesty with a smile.

"Sure, I totally believe you, Rainbow Dash" Lyra said with a snide grin on her face.

"Whatever, not caring what you think. I got a friend that needs my advice. Do me a favor though, drop by the library and tell Twilight what's going on. The egghead always has a plan when it comes to friend problems." Rainbow Dash gave short, one hoofed salute before flying off after Apple Jack.

***

Apple Jack braced herself up against a wooden post near the bridge leading over the river to her farm. She quickly slumped over and fell on her side as she tried to catch her breath. Her legs felt like mashed butter and the burning in her lungs was nearly unbearable.

I shouldn't be so tuckered out. I didn't run that fast, did I? Apple Jack thought as she rolled herself into a more comfortable resting position. I'll just rest here for a moment and maybe get to bucking apples. With any luck I'll forget all about what just happened. Hopefully Rarity will too.

"You know, with you being the second most athletic pony in Ponyville I would expect you to not be so tired after a short run."

Apple Jack's ears perked up, she knew that sarcastic tone anywhere. Looking into the sky, she spotted the rainbow-maned cyan pegasus relaxing on a cloud above her. "What do you mean by 'second most athletic pony'? If memory serves me right me and you are equals."

"Pfft, hardly. I had to gimp my wings just for you to keep up" Rainbow Dash replied with a sharp grin on her face.

"Oh really? You wanna race right now ... err, I mean five minutes from now" Apple Jack stood up, but felt a bit dizzy and immediately laid back down in the grass.

"Calm down, I'm not here to goad you into a race I'll win anyway. I'm here to talk about your little 'exploits' at Rarity's boutique this afternoon" Rainbow Dash jumped from the cloud and landed behind Apple Jack.

"W-what are ya yammerin on about? I haven't even seen Rarity at all today" Apple Jack shifted her eyes away as to not make eye contact with Rainbow Dash.

"You're not fooling anypony here, AJ. I mean honestly the only pony in town that doesn't know your little tells when you're lying is Sweetie Belle" Rainbow Dash said as she circled around the right side of Apple Jack.

Apple Jack stared into Rainbow Dash's eyes and Rainbow stared back in return. Is she bluffing or does she already know? Did she overhear me talking with Lyra? Wouldn't be the first time she stuck her nose in somepony else's business Apple Jack thought as she watched Rainbow Dash's body language intently.

"You know, instead of watching my wings to see if I'm bluffing I'll tell you what I observed straight up. I saw you leaving Rarity's boutique in a rush, your coat all sweaty and mangled. I overheard your entire conversation with Lyra and now that I'm close to you I can smell the leftover musk from your little encounter with her." Rainbow Dash walked in front of Apple Jack and laid in the grass in front of her. "I'm not here to judge ya, I'm here for girl talk. So, what's on your mind?"

Apple Jack opened her mouth, but hesitated. Do I really want to talk about what happened with the largest blabbermouth in Ponyville? If this got back to granny, she might never talk to me again. She might even disown me.

"Listen, you can tell me anything. I promise whatever ya say will be just between us" Rainbow Dash put her right hoof over Apple Jack's right hoof and smiled.

Apple Jack was taken aback, pulling her hoof back as if Rainbow Dash were infected with fleas. I have never seen her this sincere before, normally she is all bravado or goofy. She's actually taking this seriously Apple Jack thought.

"Sorry fer pullin away like that. I have just never seen you so ... serious about, well, anything really. You're not even this serious about flying" Apple Jack said as she lowered her head shamefully. "You sure you want me to tell you what's wrong? You think any less of me for it, will ya?"

"Why would I think less of you for a little woohoo fling with Rarity? Mares have needs ya know, there's no shame in it" Rainbow Dash said calmly.

"No, you don't understand. You see it all started when Derpy delivered the wrong mail to both of us and I kinda walked in on Rarity well ... in a really vulnerable and compromising position" Apple Jack said while blushing.

"Her bondage gear, right?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Wait, you know about that?" Apple Jack replied, surprised.

"Who do you think told her and Fluttershy about the distributor? Apparently I'm everypony's go-to mare for anything lesbian or kink related. You know, despite me not being either of them" Rainbow Dash furrowed her mane in an agitated manner. Rainbow Dash eyes went wide and she blushed momentarily. "Whoops, shouldn't have let slip that Fluttershy is into that, heh. That one's going to be weird to explain."

"Wait, you're not into mares? I mean, I'm not trying to pry into your personal life, but you just, you know, seem like the kinda mare that would be into that kinda thing" Apple Jack said while looking Rainbow Dash over.

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. "Seduce one or two mares in flight school and everyone just assumes you're straight up lesbian for the rest of your life. It was a phase, all teenage ponies go through it." Rainbow Dash stared at Apple Jack, who seemed entirely unconvinced. "Fine, I do occasionally have filly fooling flings, but I'm into stallions as well. I mean have you seen the butt on Soarin?"

"Ahem" Apple Jack cleared her throat in an attempt to get Rainbow Dash back on topic.

"Oh, sorry. I kinda went off on a side tangent there. So what happened exactly?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well, you see, she was trying on her new bondage gear when I caught her in a really compromising position. At first she was all askin me to help her get out of her gear, but as I tried to get her out well, she got aroused." Apple Jack blushed, tilting her hat down so Rainbow Dash couldn't see her embarrassment.

"Not uncommon. You're a strong earth pony, Apple Jack. Some dominatrixes are turned on by the possibility of a stronger mate" Rainbow Dash added.

"I didn't know that! Before I knew it, she was askin me to, you know, sex her up." Apple Jack looked around to see is any other pony was listening in. "The weird part was getting aroused by how helpless she was as she begged me to do her. Before I knew what I was doin I was doing kinky bondage stuff with her."

"So the real question here isn't if you're into this kinda stuff, but if Rarity was sane of enough of mind to say yes and it wasn't the hormones doing the talking" Rainbow Dash said.

"Yes, I mean, no to some, but yes to others." Apple Jack sighed dejectedly. "I don't even know my own emotions anymore. I know I enjoyed myself, but I was brought up thinking that kinda relationship is T- Tabard? Is that the word I'm lookin for?" Apple Jack asked.

"Taboo is the word you're looking for AJ, tabard is some of the garments you see on the royal guards when they need to be extra fancy. The real question here is twofold; are you really into filly fooling and did you take advantage of Rarity when she was vulnerable. Oh, and I guess how your family reacts will eventually be part of it, but that's something I really can't help you with" Rainbow Dash said.

"So what do ya reckon I do? Do I tell Granny Smith and the rest of my family that I'm doing something they will see as wrong or do I keep it a secret? How do I handle the whole Rarity thing?" Apple Jack asked.

"The only way you can fix those problems is to face them, AJ. I can be here if you need moral support or a shoulder to cry on, but most of those you have to solve first hoof. Did you try maybe making a second date with Rarity? Just to see if it wasn't just a one time fling?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well, I did kind of agree to come to dinner tonight, though I think she was still a little flirty with me when she made the invitation" Apple Jack pondered.

"Well, you're not gonna get the answers you need sitting there in the grass." Rainbow Dash stood up and stretched her wings. "I mean, if you want to just sit there in self-pity, then by all means pity yourself, but the AJ I know always took challenges in life by the horns. I guess I was wrong though, I guess Big Mac wears the harness in the Apple family" Rainbow Dash teased as she took to the air.

Apple Jack snorted angrily, blowing away the dust on the ground below her. "You take that back, I never backed down from no challenge from nopony. For your information Big Mac only wears the harness because it only fits him, we don't have spares" Apple Jack growled as she stood up.

"Excuses, excuses! A real pony would have taken your problems head on without any hesitation. The way your acting right now makes me think you're some kind of puny city pony. Maybe you can go cry in a ditch somewhere about how Ponyville doesn't have the right hats for you, loser!" Rainbow Dash stuck her tongue out at Apple Jack, blowing her a raspberry before flying off into the distance as fast as she could.

"Well, at least I, at least ... aww who am I kiddin." Apple Jack watched as Rainbow Dash disappeared into the distant clouds. She knew her friend was just trying to goad her into being herself, but this situation was far more delicate than normal. She means well, but if granny doesn't accept me for who I am or who I've become then there will be fallout. I could lose the only home I've ever known.

Apple Jack sighed dejectedly as she turned around and stared at Sweet Apple Acres in the distance. "I guess the only way to find out is have a talk with her." Apple Jack began to run toward home, but decided after just a short burst that she was better off taking her time. She needed to find a way to bring the question up to Granny Smith carefully, one wrong word and she could be expelled from the farm, possibly even disowned.

Apple Jack slowed down to a brisk walk, she stared at the ground below her, trying to think of a way she could make Granny Smith accept her or at the very least understand what she was going through. Maybe if I bring it up as just a young mare experimentin, that it really isn't anything serious. Apple Jack tried to imagine what Granny Smiths reaction would be, but she kept coming up blank. The only reaction she ever got from her while growing up about anything related to 'filly fooling' was always negative.

Apple Jack kept running scenarios in her head, but in each situation the outcome always ended poorly. Before she knew it, she had walked head first into the post holding up the Sweet Apple Acres sign in front of her house. "Ow, gosh darnit, who put that there?" Apple Jack grumbled to herself as she rubbed her head. Apple Jack stopped and stared at her home. In front of the House Apple Bloom was playing fetch with the family dog, Winona. Nearby Big Mac was tossing the last few hay bails into the back of the barn and in the kitchen was Granny Smith, sitting in her rocking chair, knitting, as she watched the stew on the stove cook.

Pony feathers, bringing this up during dinner wouldn't be a good idea, better do it before Apple Jack thought to herself.

"Hey sis!" Apple Bloom yelled as she waved cheerfully. "Why such the long face? You eat somethin that didn't agree with ya?" Apple Bloom moved in to inspect her older sister, but Apple Jack turned away in shame.

I forgot how the others might react. Apple Blooms too young to know about filly fooling and Big Mac has never said anything on the subject at all. "I'm fine Apple Bloom, I'm just thinking too hard is all." Apple Jack tried to fake a grin, but she knew Apple Bloom could see right through her. "I need to talk to granny iffin ya don't mind."

Apple Jack walked past Apple Bloom, her head held low as she opened the front door, closed it behind her and headed for the kitchen.

Meanwhile, outside, Apple Bloom and Big Mac watched as Apple Jack made it through the house towards the kitchen through the windows.

"Big brother, sis doesn't seem to be herself. Like she's got something horrible hangin over her head" Apple Jack said, her voice lowered in concern.

"Eeeyup" Big Mac replied.

"You reckon we should listen in on what sis and granny are gonna talk about?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Ehhh ... " Big Mac hesitated. He put his hoof up to his chin to think. The last time I listened in on one of Apple Jack's discussions with granny was when she was going through her first mating season. Big Mac thought. If I get busted again, I'll be cleaning the chicken coup for months.

A tug on Big Mac's tail brought him out of his thinking daze. He looked back to see Apple Bloom using her puppy like eyes and quivering lip tactic, a tactic that he still had not found a counter for. "Eeyup, let's listen in." What more can I do, she knows that works every time.

Apple Bloom motioned for Big Mac to follow her as she lowered herself low the ground and sneaked along the house up by the back door to the kitchen. Apple Bloom pressed her ear up against the crack at the bottom of the door and Big Mac put his ear up against the window, taking care to make sure very little of him was visible through the glass.

"Howdy AJ, you here to taste what I'm makin fer dinner? Cause I don't recommend it, undercooked turnips are a might bit bitter" Granny Smith said as she stirred the contents of the pot from her rocking chair with a cane.

"No granny, I'm here to discuss personal stuff, I have something important that you need to know." Apple Jack scratched at her right leg with her left hoof. Apple Jack turned away shamefully, not making eye contact with Granny Smith.

"Oh? Ohhhh! Well then, I've seen that face before. It was your mothers face when she told me she was pregnant with you if I remember right. Same leg scratching and not makin eye contact." Granny Smith rocked back and forth in her chair. "So, I guess I'm gonna have great grandchildren soon and you're gonna be a mom."

"No- no granny you misunderstood, I'm not pregnant" Apple Jack tried to interject.

"Fiddlesticks! Your mother came to me the same way you did today and I did the same thing to my ma when I was around your age." Granny Smith set her knitting gear aside and looked Apple Jack in the eyes. "So, how far along are you and who's the stallion that managed to get you all aflutter?"

"Granny, listen. I'm not pregnant and I'm not dating any stallions. The truth is ... " Apple Jack hesitated, the look of confusion and disappointment on Granny Smith's face was almost too much to bear. "I think I'm a lesbian ... or at the very least, bi-curious."

Granny Smith's face went from confusion to surprise, but as she opened her mouth to say something, Apple Jack interjected in an attempt to explain herself.

"Now, hold your horses. I know you been against that kind thing all your life and stuff ..."

Meanwhile, just outside the back kitchen door.

"Big brother, what's a lesbian?" Apple Bloom asked.

"It's when a mare likes another mare, Apple Bloom" Big Mac replied.

"What's so wrong with that? I like plenty of other mares. I like Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Cheerilee ..." Big Mac shook his head and Apple Bloom stopped numbering the mares she likes. "Somethin wrong brother?"

"I mean likes them in a romantic way, the kissy, kissy, huggy, huggy kinda way." Big Mac noticed the state of confusion on Apple Bloom's face. "For the lack of a better expression, your sister likes another mare in the 'birds and the bees, flowers and the trees' kind of way."

"Oh, that kinda way. I think I heard soemthing like that around town, something about filly fooling being another word ... wait. Brother, we have to go in there and help Apple Jack" Apple Bloom said determinedly.

"I know what yer thinkin and I know granny has a history of not being exactly friendly with lesbians, but -" Before Big Mac could say another word, Apple Bloom kicked in the back door and stormed into the kitchen, much to Apple Jack and Granny Smith's surprise.

"Apple Bloom, were you raised in a barn, err, neve rmind, that doesn't quite fit. I mean we taught you better manner than that" Granny Smith complained.

"I know that, but I have something to say to you granny. I'm a lesbian too, just like my big sister" Apple Bloom stated proudly.

Granny Smith just stared at Apple Bloom and then back at Apple Jack, a look of both confusion and bemusement on her face. "Well, if I hadn't taken my heart medicine today, I think I woulda been in real trouble from all this shock. Am I the only pony in the room that likes stallions?"

Big Mac stepped in the doorway and held his head high. "I do!"

A frown ran across Granny Smith's face quickly followed by a smile. "I see what yer all doing here. listening in by the back door and bustin in here to support your sister when she needed support the most, but I can see right through it. Fer starters, Apple Bloom is too young to even know what a lesbian is."

Apple Bloom scratched the back of her head. "I do to granny, at least in a superficial kinda sense."

"I also know for a fact that Big Mac has been fawning over that teacher in town, Was Cheerilee her name?" Granny Smith asked.

Big Mac crossed his front legs, blushing furously. "E-eyyup."

Granny Smith turned her attention to Apple Jack. "Darlin, I don't care if you're in love with a mare, a stallion or a buckin tree, just as long as you are happy. If you're happy then I'm happy." Granny Smith got out of her rocking chair and embraced Apple Jack in a hug.

"But granny, I thought you hated filly foolers. I heard you getting angry about them before" Apple Jack said as she pushed Granny Smith away in surprise.

"Who said anything about filly foolers? You're not one of those pedophiles are ya?" Granny Smith asked.

"Wait, pedophiles? I didn't say nothing about that kinda thing" Apple Jack arched her head in confusion. "Wait, do you think the phrase 'filly fooler' means 'pedophile' ?"

"Yes, why?" Granny Smith asked.

Apple Jack, Big Mac, and Apple Bloom all looked at one another and then back at granny Smith. Suddenly, Big Mac and Apple Jack started laughing hysterically, Apple Jack nearly in tears.

"What? Did I say something funny?" Granny Smith asked.

"Granny, filly fooler or fooling is another word for lesbian. It's got nothing to do with underage ponies, at all" Apple Jack said as she wiped a tear from her eye.

"Eeeyup." Big Mac Agreed.

"I don't even know what's going on. What's a pedo-pile?" Apple Bloom asked.

"It's pronounced 'pedophile' and don't you worry about it. I'll tell you about it later." Big mac said.

"So all these years I been using the word wrong? I coulda swore I had a dictonary somehwere that said otherwise." Granny Smith headed into the living room and a few moments later came back with a large book on her back. As she set it on the kitchen table, dust clouds shot into the air, making the ponies around it cough reflexively. The pages were brackish brown around the edges, the binding looked to have replaced at some point, but was barely holding the book together. The cover was red, but very dirty and the title was just barely visibble, which read 'Celestial Dictionary: Volume Two' in faded gold lettering.

Granny Smith opened the old book and began to turn that pages until she reached the f section of the old book. "Lemme see, fillet, filler, ah here we are, filly fooling." Granny Smith traced the definition with her hoof to make sure she got it right. "Filly fooler, a pony that tries to have sexual intercourse with under-age fillies. Also see colt cuddling and pedophelia."

Apple Jack walked up behind Granny Smith and closed the old dictionary. Noticing that tha lower half of the book was covered in caked dust, she set her foreleg on the bottom of the book and began to rub vigorously. After a few moments she could start to make out some words that had been obscured but the caked dust.

"Celestial year 1477 edition? Granny, where did you even get this book? It's over half a millennium old." Apple Jack asked.

"Oh, I didn't know it was that old. The feller that was giving them away in Canterlot said it was just damaged from misuse. I got them back when you were both just a few years old each. Figured I would need to brush up on all the young folks slang." Granny Smith said as she examined the old dictionary.

"Well ya got yer wish, kinda. You kept up with the slang of five hundred years ago" Apple Jack teased.

"So, all this time you all thought I had something against ponies becuase of what mate they chose? I thought you all knew me better than that. You know my motto, live and let live. It's not like who other ponies fall in love with hurts me any. The only way I would get angry with yall is iffin you were dishonest with me." Granny Smith paused for a momment, her hoof against her chin. "Or if yall suddenly didn't like apples, then we would have a problem."

"Well I like peaches more than Apples, granny" Apple Bloom said jokingly.

"Well then yer grounded, young lady" granny Smith teased.

Apple Jack, granny Smith, Big Mac and Apple Bloom all shared a laugh together.

"Nice one, granny. Iffin ya don't mind I need to take a shower and dress up fancy. I got a date tonight" Apple Jack said as she glanced at the clock above the back kitchen door.

"Oh, wheres my manners. Who's the lucky mare your going out on a date with iffin ya don't mind me askin?" Granny Smith asked.

"It's Rarity, granny" Apple Jack replied.

"Rarity?" Big Mac, Apple Bloom and Granny Smith all said in shocked unision.

"Yep, Rarity" Apple Jack smiled and headed for the livingroom, towards the stairs.

The three Apple family members stood in the kitchen, all of them in shocked silence until Big mac finally broke into song.

"I take, one step forward, I take two steps back. We come together cause opposites attract" Big Mac sang as he remembered an old song.

"Panela Abdul?" Granny Smith asked.

"Eeyup" Big Mac replied.

"Fitting for the situation, I suppose" Granny Smith said as she scratched her mane.

"Who in the hay is Panela Abdul?" Apple Bloom asked.

Granny Smith looked at Big Mac and nodded her head. "Big Mac, could you go fetch my old casette collection? I think a certain filly needs some music education.

"Eeyup!" Big Mac replied energetically.

Meanwhile, Apple Jack raced up the stairs, but halfway up she felt the nervousness from before creep up on her. She stared down at her forelegs and noticed they were shaking slightly. I don't get it, granny accpeted me for who I am. Why am I all jittery all of a sudden? Apple Jack thought hard, but then the realization struck her. She had never even been on a date, she had never even attempted to court anypony up until this point. There was also a lingering doubt in the back of her mind that Rarity was just in it for a fling, that it was all hormones and not mutual attraction that brought them together.

Apple Jack stood there in the middle of the stairwell, deep in thought about what she should do, what could happen. "What if she doesn't love me at all?" Apple Jack tried running scenarios though her mind like she did before she told Granny Smith about her filly fooling ways when the realization struck her.

The only way I'm gonna find out is if I try and hope that she feels the same way about me.
