“Hey, Pinkie” said Applejack, taking a sip from her cup, “Where did Maud go?”

“Oh, she went home” Pinkie answered. “She said she’s reeeeeaaaaaally tired.”

“Yeah” chuckled Rainbow Dash, “That’s what she said.”

“Oh, don’t be silly. She’s not like me: gets easily tired, sleeps a lot. Well, she is tired from that trip of hers.”

“What trip?”

“I don’t know.”

“Well, how did you know that she’s tired?”

“I don’t” she then whispered at Rainbow’s ear, “I feel she’s tired.”

“Feel she’s tired? Is that even possible?”

“Well, we are sisters. And speaking of feels, who don’t you say ‘her’ what you’re feeling right now?”

“Huh?” said the confused pegasus. She was about to ask another question when Pinkie answered her by giving her the “look”.

“Oh, Oh, uhh…” said Rainbow. “I don’t know, Pinkie. What if ‘she’ doesn’t feel the same way as I do?”

“Nonsense, I mean…oh wait” Pinkie then grabbed Rainbow’s left hoof and dragged her outside. “Mind if we talk outside Applejack?”

“Uhh…” said Applejack, with a hint of "jealousy" in her voice. “Uhmm…sure.”

Pinkie then threw Rainbow deep into the apple forest.

“Owww! Hey, what’s that for?” said Rainbow.

“Ssshhh…” whispered Pinkie. “Alright, I have a plan.”

“What kind of plan?”

“It’s not just any plan, I have a great paradigm stored in my head all these years. I haven’t been using it just in case this time showed up.”

“You have what now on your head?”

“A paradigm: some sort of good plan. I know, it’s too ‘deep’ for you to understand, but this is the best way I can describe you how ‘good’ the plan is.”

“So, what’s the plan?”

Pinkie Pie turned her head around to make sure that no one is watching them. Then, she whispered at her ear the plan. As Rainbow hears of this “paradigm” she somehow started to blush and heat up again until she reacted violently.

“Wait, no, I’m not doing that!” she screamed.

“Not too loud” Pinkie susurrated. “And besides, didn’t you told me once that you’ve waited long to do that ‘thing’ with her?”

“Well, yes and no. Yes, because I have a crush on her. No, ‘cause what would she think about me once she found out?”

“Well, it’s now your fault if everything went wrong, as long as I gave my best opinion.”

“That’s your best? I mean, can there be anything better like that? Like we can just have a chat or something?”

“Rainbow!? Pinkie!?”

“Here she comes!” she pushed Rainbow towards Applejack. “And don’t forget the plan!”

“Pinkie Pie, wai-…oh, hi Applejack.”

“Rainbow, where have y’all been? And where’s Pinkie?”

“Oh, uh…mmm…can we…can we talk?”

“About what?” Applejack cocked an eyebrow.

“About something…”

“Uhh…okay, but not here. I have a sleeping family behind me, 'ya know?”

Rainbow Dash nodded as they went deep into Applejack’s farm. Pinkie tip-toed (or tip-hoofed; I don't know) behind them to see if the plan was going perfectly well.

“Listen, Applejack, I have to tell you something.”

“I’m list’ning.”

“Well, I have this strange thing that’s keeping me, you know, ‘disturbed’ for like seven weeks now.”

“What?” Applejack doesn’t seem to understand (although inside her, she does).

“It’s…uhh… It’s umm… (How in Equestria do I say this to Applejack!?)”

“What’s that yer tryin’ to say?”

“Oh, it’s umm…ouch!” she said as Pinkie Pie threw her an apple from behind.

“Are ya' alright, sugar cube?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. It’s just that, well, how would you react when you found out that one of your closes friend somehow ‘likes’ you more than a friend?”

“Well, as fo' me, that's the cutest thing I’ve ever saw.”

“Really?” Rainbow Dash felt that there’s something burning up inside her.

“Why’d ‘ya ask by the way?”

“Well, ‘cause I heard that someone here likes you.”

“Really?” Applejack also felt something burning inside her. “Well, who is it?"

Rainbow Dash suddenly went red by the words she heard from her "marefriend".

"Tell me, I won’t be mad.”

“How about I show you?”

“Huh?”

Applejack raised an eyebrow when suddenly Rainbow blushed and leaned in to kiss Applejack. Applejack was surprised by what Rainbow did, but she then closed her eyes and just let Rainbow's lips touch hers. Rainbow Dash felt like she’s floating in another world. Applejack felt the same also. Then, Applejack suddenly broke the kiss, with cheeks madly red while Pinkie Pie is secretly laughing behind a tree by the sight.

“Rainbow, I…”
