Rainbow Dash paced around her room, she wasn’t sure what else to do. Every so often she would peek out of her window at the street that led to her house. Anticipation was a bitch, and she hated it with a burning passion.

Footsteps echoed in the air for a second before her door swung open and in walked her father. “Hey, do you mind lending me some of your precious time stalking the window to help cook dinner?” he said, not even waiting for a reply as he walked out of the room and walked down the stairs that led to the ground floor.

“Fine.” Rainbow huffed out, sparring one more hopeful glance out of the window, being let down once more. She made her way downstairs and into the kitchen, where her father was waiting for her with a smile.

“I can’t believe you and Applejack are a thing now! I have so many memories of you two as kids.” he said giddily.

Rainbow quirked an eyebrow at her father. “You do?” she questioned.

“Yea of course!” he replied happily. “There was that time I brought you to Sugarcube Corner and met her and her mom. There was also the time we left Sugarcube Corner after I met her and her mom.” he seemed really proud about his response.

Rainbow wasn’t even sure how to respond to that one. “You...you’re such a...wow.”

Light Prism let out a playful chuckle before grabbing a pot and placing it onto the stove. “Ok enough of that. It’s a special day for you and we’re gonna step our game up!” he pumped a fist excitedly.

“Uhh...what?” was about the only response Dash could formulate at that moment.

“We’re having a member of the Apple family over and she’ll be eating food prepared by your father, we should make it amazing!” Light said excitedly.

Rainbow rolled her eyes, he’d been watching too many cooking shows lately and she should have seen this coming. “Fine, what did you have in mind?” she asked, mentally checking off the various dishes she knew they could make with the ingredients on hand.

A wide grin took its place on Lights face as he clapped his hands together excitedly. “We’re going to make a pasta with a tomato-apple sauce!”

Rainbow recoiled slightly, as the first thought she had was normal apple sauce mixed with tomato paste. “You sure that’s...good?” she asked. Cooking was not her forte but she was pretty sure you couldn’t just go around adding apples to recipes.

Light Prism winked at her. “Don’t worry, you can trust me on this!” he said, before his look became one of personal thought as he began going over a mental checklist of the ingredients he needed. “Can you do me a favor and put the spaghetti to boil while I get the stuff?” he said as he made his way over to the refrigerator and began rummaging through it, picking out a bag of apples and a few different veggies.

Rainbow did as she was told, now legitimately interested in this concoction her father planned to feed their family. A large bag of spaghetti went into a pot of boiling salt-water and was covered promptly. “Ok dad, what next?” she asked,turning to see her father already working on the apples, cutting them into slices and removing any seeds.

“Thanks sweetie, can you put those tomatoes into the food processor? Then I’ll handle everything else from there and you can go back to stalking the driveway.” Light said with a hearty chuckle.

Rainbow was pretty sure her father was the only man alive who would openly make fun of her like this, but it could get pretty annoying, especially at this age. Alas, all she could do was roll her eyes and do as she was told. She grabbed the bowl of tomatoes from him and made her way to the food processor, when a knock rang out from their front door. It was a lucky thing that the bowl was made from a sturdy plastic because it was thrown hastily onto the counter with a yell of “I’ll get it!” as she ran to the door, only to stop right in front of it in order to compose herself. She brushed her shoulders of any dust or dirt that might have collected before calmly opening the door, looking away from it as if she wasn’t all that interested in who might be there, it would make her look totally cool!

Too bad this only worked in her head.

Applejack stood on the other side of the door, and all she saw was a nervous looking Rainbow Dash who had her head turned just a little too far for comfort. “Uh, hey Dash.” she said uncertainly.

Rainbow Dash tried to coop her facade of coolness up as she slowly turned her head towards Applejack. “Oh, Aj, you made it!” she said. Her cool facade, well, it didn’t hold up very well as a wide smile broke across her face and she enveloped her girlfriend in a hug. “Come on in!” she said happily as she released her other half, moving aside to let Applejack in.

“Glad to be here, Dash.” Aj returned the smile she was receiving and walked into the house. She gave the small area she was standing in a quick once over. She’d been to Cloudsdale before, and she had that race with Rainbow in the yard, but she had never actually been inside this house. It was strange, whenever she visited a new place. She had absolutely no idea where anything was or what rules were a standard. Honestly, there was a feeling of uncomfortable anxiousness at the moment. “So, uhh, where is everybody?” she asked as she removed her hat from her head.

Rainbow began walking and Applejack followed. “Scoots is up in her room reading some book about small horses or something like that.” she said with a shrug. “And dad is in here.” she said as she made her way into the kitchen where Light Prism was seen slaving over a hot stove.

“Howdy Mr. Prism.” Aj announced upon seeing the man.

The prismatic owner of the home turned his head and flashed a smile. “Well it’s nice to finally see you again Applejack! Rainbow has told me so much!” he said gleefully.

“Dad! Hush!” Rainbow snapped at the man, cheeks beginning to match the hue of her eyes.

“Whatever she doesn’t tell me, I usually read about in her journal anyway.” he said nonchalantly.

“You do what?!” Rainbow roared at the man, who held his hands up defensively.

“Kidding! I’m just kidding!” he laughed nervously. “Scootaloo reads your journal and she tells me from there.”

“Rat!” came a voice from above. If you listened closely, you could hear the sound of a door being locked.

Rainbow squinted her eyes at her father. “We’re not done here.” she said before grabbing Applejacks arm. “C’mon, let’s go to my room.” she said as she began to stomp away.

“Err, ok Ah guess.” was Applejacks short reply as she was dragged out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

Rainbow pushed the door to her room open and walked in, waiting for her partner to get in as well before she closed the door, twisting the lock as well. It was then that it dawned on her. ‘Oh shit, she’s here! In my room, and we’re alone! How many times have I dreamed about this? What do I do now? Oh my gosh oh my gosh ohmygosh!’

It’s amazing how fast thoughts can run through your mind, as Rainbow had her mini panic attack, Applejack was simply looking around. It wasn’t the first time she’d seen the room, but she had never physically been there and everything felt so real and new to her. Honestly, the room fit Rainbow Dash perfectly. A guitar hung on the wall to the left with a desktop setup just under it, a closet and mirror to the right. Directly in front of her was a bed that, surprisingly, was well made. Hanging above the bed were various posters of sports teams, the most abundant of which were the Wonderbolt Racers.

Not seeing many alternatives, Applejack decided to take a seat on the bed. She looked up at Rainbow, who was still stuck in her thoughts. “So, nice room you got here.” she commented, breaking the trance Dash was in.

“Oh, uh, yea thanks. I picked everything myself.” Rainbow replied. ‘Idiot, of course you picked it out yourself, you’re an adult!’ What a dumb thing to say. “So, now that you’re here, mind letting me know what brought about this visit?”

Aj sighed. “Ah had a delivery. Apparently there’s gonna be a wedding at the town hall tomorrow and they ordered a buncha cider. Granny told me thirty cases so that’s what Ah took, but Ah guess she messed up. The guy who signed for the package started ranting and raving about how he only ordered twentyfive and then he made me pack ‘em all away!” she ranted.

Rainbow nodded. “Yep, that’s the city for you. At least that wedding’s gonna have some grade A stuff.” she said with a smile, trying to lift her girlfriends spirits.

“Ughh, how can ya’ll stand it out here?” Applejack groaned.

Rainbow sat besides Applejack on the bed and gave a chuckle as she wrapped her arms around her. “I know, it sucks out here. Ponyville is way better. Mainly since you’re there.”

Applejack returned the hug. Her mind, body and heart, they all felt like what she was doing at that very moment was exactly as it should be and nothing could ruin it. The thing about being so physically close to the one you love is, it doesn’t always stay at the hugging stage. The two girls pulled apart. The farm raised small town girl looked into the eyes of her big city lover, a stranger would have been able to feel the attraction and sexual energy between the two.

Applejack was the one to take the initiative, slowly leaning in until she felt her lips meet the soft touch or Rainbow Dashs’. It was a chaste kiss, which soon became something more as their lips spread open and they deepened the kiss together. A french kiss, it seemed like such a weird and disgusting thing as a child but it was now one of the best things either of them had ever experienced. One thing about pleasure though, you can always use more.

Rainbow took charge now, leaning forward so Applejack would have no choice but to get beneath her. They never broke their kiss as this went on, their hands exploring each others bodies like it was the first and last time they’d have the chance. Rainbow softly pinched at Applejacks nipple, eliciting a moan from the young woman. That was what broke her, she’d never been so wet and ready. She needed this, now.

“Rainbow, dad says to come downstairs for dinner!” came Scootaloos voice accompanied by a few bangs of the door.

“We’ll be right therWoah!” Rainbow cried out as Applejack suddenly pushed her to the side. “Hey!”

Applejacks face was bright red. “We almost got caught!” she whispered “By your little sister! What if she saw us? How would we explain?” She was beyond nervous.

Rainbow could only smirk. “That’s why I locked the door, duh.” she said as she got up and opened the door. “C’mon, let’s eat.”

The two made their way downstairs, Rainbow guiding Applejack to the dining room where her father and sister were already sitting.

“Girls! Come, sit down!” Light said as he saw the two. He stood up and gestured towards the two empty seats that had plates before them. “I made spaghetti with an apple-tomato sauce, I hope you enjoy!” he said proudly, taking his seat once more.

The two girls sat down and Rainbow joined into the conversation that her father and sister were having, including Applejack after a bit when she noticed how quiet the girl had been. It was a happy scene, a family joyfully talking and joking with each other over a nice hot meal. Applejack missed these moments, and it brought a smile to her face. She’d have to do this more, with her own family back home. It was a promise.
