Sick In The Clouds

Applejack sighed as she lifted the nearby blanket and laid it across the snoozing pegasus, snot rising and lowering from her nostrils as she snored. The cowmare couldn’t help but continue to gaze at her friend for a few more moments silently watching her breathe lower and rise with every movement from her chest. To see such a wild animal such as herself being vulnerable and calm was a side Applejack has rarely seen before.

Finally with her so called mistress asleep, Applejack knew it was time to get something done around the parts. She slipped out of the silly costume and got to work by wrapping a single apron around her. Tossing a trash bag over her back the orange mare started to tidy up the remaining scraps of damp tissue and moldy food around the room. Laundry piled high in every corner as Applejack swiftly swept crumbs and debris of the glistening floor beneath her hooves. She dusted every nook and cranny she could find and even polished her friend’s shades that fell atop over her eyes as she slept.

Even if Rainbow Dash was a stubborn thorn in her side, she couldn’t help but grin at her spotless accomplishment. Trotting back to the kitchen she plated her assortment of charred vegetables spiced with utmost care and precision. Rainbow Dash had more plates then even Ponyville itself it seemed as Applejack cautiously grabbed the silverware and set them about the grand table fit for Celestia herself. A large navy cloth perfectly surrounded the crystal structure wrapping around every corner with precision. In the middle was a set of three candles that seemed to have never been used.

Grabbing a box of matches found in the firefighter suit which was ironic to her, the cowmare lit the candles that let of a warm vanilla fragrance in the cold room. Examining her work Applejack was quite pleased, yet it seemed to be missing something she couldn’t quite put her hoof on.

“Aw gosh darn it, forgot to get my protein!” the blonde mare cussed frantically searching te empty fridge expecting a hearty bale of hay to be there.

For her last resort Applejack nervously took out the box of frozen corn dogs Rainbow Dash had gave her earlier examining the nutrition facts wordily. Noticing more corn then the actual amount of hay inside, she tossed them in the microwave and hoped for the best placing it among the delicious sinner.

At last she got around to making the smoothie her pegasus has been demanding all day. With one swift action all ingredients were thrown into the expensive blender as they swirled the ingredients in 10 seconds flat, just the way Dash liked things. Pouring it into a tall glass just in time Applejack went out to fetch Rainbow Dash who let out a huge stretched yawn.

“Woah, this place looks like yours being all clean and stuff,” Rainbow Dash sighed admiring her surroundings with a sniffle. “Looks like I hired the right janitor.”

“I’m not your maid, janitor or toy Dash I’m friend who has come to cure yah,” Applejack sternly confirmed standing her ground.

“Aww but you looked so cute in those frilly costumes, guess I will have to lure you into my trap later.”

“W-hat trap are you going on about here missy!” the cowmare grunted finally noticing what the seductive pegasus meant. “Never

mind, just get your flank over here and put a little something in your stomach wont yah?”

Applejack led the cyan pegasus to the kitchen where her crafted banquet was set about. Without a word the sick pegauss groaned as her wings attempted to flap slowly hovering herself over the outstretched table to her throne on the other end. Her mouth instantly dug into the plate as she was not afraid to hide the fact she had no manners.

“This stuff is actually kind of good!” Rainbow Dash smiled shoving down a piece of eggplant.

“Dash, what do you say when a nice pony does something for you?” Applejack questioned attempting to get some courtesy into this pegasus’s head.

“Offer them a free appointment in the sauna with yours truly?” the pegasus chuckled scarfing down another pile of vegetables.

Applejack decided to remain silent using her fork to poke at the food in front of her, getting sick and tired of her friend’s arrogance.

“Geesh it was a joke, no need to be uptight about it!” Rainbow Dash glared losing all sense of humour in her tone. “Fine, thank you Applejack, or rather mother dearest”

“No need to give me that sassy talk now you here, I’m wasting my time to give you time and all you do is complain!” Applejack snapped swallowing the last bit of her food except the infamous corndog left on her plate.

“Oh you want to fight fritter face?” Rainbow Dash challenged grabbing her corn dog of her plate. “Whoever eats this piece of heaven the best, wins.”

Applejack nodded with fury in her eyes knowing her competitive nature would get the best of her.

She watched as Rainbow Dash went first going the obvious seductive route peeling the breading of bit by bit revealing the processed hay inside. She sucked the greasy juices and went about to devouring the poor thing, licking her hooves for good measures.

“Beat that little miss goody two shoes,” the pegasus retorted with a calm look over her.

Applejack simply pulled the stick out of the corndog before her and gulped it down with one swift swallow

“Oh come on Aj ,that’s cheating!” Rainbow Dash broke out in rage slamming her hooves on the table. “I expected something more arousing then that *sniff* can’t you have any fun!”

“Hahahaha oh sugercube, your just jealous that I can chow down more than you can chew,” Applejack sighed licking the rest of residue on her lips.

“Besides, not everything has to be about making love to another pony Dash.”

“That’s not what I mean just, ugh never mind,” Rainbow Dash shifted subject as she took her first sip of the frothy beverage before her. “This tastes really good Aj, all of this does…you should cook for me more often!”

Applejack simply chuckled at the mixed compliment and wiped a drizzle of sweat from her brow of her furry friend not noticing her absent costume. Grabbing both dishes the earth pony threw them into the high tech dishwasher and decided to grab medicine,

something Rainbow desperately needed.

Guessing and checking every marble cupboard took her a good long while as Rainbow sat in silence with few background noises of slurps and sips of her pleasure of the silky shake.

Applejack poured the cough drop syrup into a spoon holding it with her one hoof and the other blocking her nose from the odd smell.

“Alright Dash,I don’t need to baby yah so take this down in one gulp like a good little filly okay sugar?” Applejack teased motioning the spoon of horrid liquid toward her friend’s slowly scrunching muzzle.

“No way! That stuff smells like tuna and tuna is well, so uncool!” Rainbow Dash sneered turning away from the thick syrup.

“Here comes the choo-choo train or in this case the wonderbolts nnneeeerrooo,” the orange mare mimicked baby talk becoming more forceful in shoving the spoon down the reluctant pegasus’s through.

“Hmm..why not we make a deal shall take your poison if you play the part as my personal little hospital maid,” Rainbow Dash changed the circumstance to her advantage  slyly pushing the cough syrup away.

“Rainbow this is good for you why do you always have me to get all fancy for yah anyway?” Applejack steamed leaving the spoon on the table being handed a nurse uniform.

“I have been feeling so lonely and under the weather Jackie, at least let me have some fun while I’m in the depths of despair!”

Rainbow swooned eyeing every movement it took Applejack to step inside the costume. “Besides you’re the one who wants to help me so you have no choice but be enthralled into my every little request.”

Applejack sighed expecting nothing less from her slipping into the skimpy uniform with a cap sporting the classic Red Cross symbol on top with matching red buttons and boots.

Not able to roll her eyes around her skull enough Applejack picked the spoon of cough syrup back up and tilted it toward Rainbow Dash’s pursed lips. Rainbow acted more childish then ever forcing her head to the opposite direction to where the syrup was shot out in different directions.

Applejack was started to get furious with the arrogant pegasus who she considered a friend, luckily she had the determination to not lose to her petty games.

“Gee it surely is too bad you won’t take this bit of liquid to cure yah,I had so much more to offer!” Applejack amped up her southern accent slowly parting Rainbow’s lips and sliding the spoon down her thought. “Dr Aj can make all the boo boo’s go away, inside and out because with an apple a day the doctor won’t ever be going away.”

Rainbow gagged at the burning taste with flushed cheeks all the while downing the last of her shake, shocked at the sudden seduction.

“Huh you’re getting their Apples, but you might want to know you have no idea where that spoon has been,” Rainbow Dash started a hearty laugh as the nurse pony didn’t take but two blinks of an eye to  wash her mouth out in the sink both to clean her dignity and her embarrassment.
