Rainbow Apples

Sweet Apple Acres

As the two arrived at the thirteenth apple tree to finish the job that derpys accident interrupted they noticed that mac was there. “Yah did well, thinkin about friends befoar work” mac said with a slight smile.

“Thanks big bro it means a’lot” Applejack said in reply.

“Lunch is at noon girls” Mac said before heading back to another side of the farm. Dash flew up and knocked any loose apples down into a basket that they then loaded onto a wagon that big mac pulled back to the farm etc. That was the cycle that they used and they did quite a great job for a two mare team. They had hit the one hundred and fifty fifth apple tree as the sun started to set. The two stopped and admired the beauty of the sun setting. They arrived back at the house thirty minutes after sundown. They saw the two slices of apple pie resting on the plate (because they had missed supper to keep working). The two scarfed down the slices like they had never eaten in years.

“Can’t wait for Twi and the others to come and help us tomorrow” Dash said happily.

“sorreh sugercube but actually we have two more days doin the harvestin cause they’re all busy remember?” Applejack asked.

“Yeah Yeah” Dash said slightly annoyed, but dash couldn’t stay mad at AJ for long because of a secret she guarded closely. She…..Loved……Applejack! Dash didn’t want to think what would happen if applejack ever found out. “She’d surely hate me forever” Dash said to herself in her head because if Applejack overheard and jabbed her questions dash would have to admit the truth and she didn’t want that! “So where am I bunking AJ” Dash Asked her Best friend.

“Yer sleepin in with me, but on a mattress on the floor” Applejack said to her closest friend.

“Lead the way AJ” Dash said quietly so she didn’t wake up Granny Smith or Applebloom because mac would be reading, talking to shy or writing another love letter to shy who was his special some pony. They could hear mac love-struck and mumbling about rhyming and Fluttershy. “Your brothers Bonkers about her in private” dash whispered to AJ.

“Try and get tah sleep when he’s gotten kissed or hugged by her” Jack said, referring to that Terrible Night’s sleep that night when she kissed him for the first time.

“I don’t ever WANNA experience that” Dash Replied.

“Good brain” Jack said as they finally approached the bedroom door. As jack opened the door she tossed her Stetson and hair band onto a chest of drawers with a mirror in the shape of an apple. “Ah’ll set up the mattress for yah” Jack said.

“Oh thanks Jackie” Dash said to her friend as she explored the room. She saw the mirror on the chest of drawers. It was like 0.5% of Raritys Boutique but it was 20% cooler than Rarity’s fru fru things. She then arrived at the Stetson and tried it on.

“Actually looks good on yah”. Dash jumped at Applejacks recent statement. The Stetson plopped back onto Dash’s head. “Ah said it really suits yah dash” Jack said before returning the Stetson to where it was before cyan hooves moved it from its original resting place. “Yer beds setup” Jack said to her Pegasus friend.

“Thanks Jack dash said before she snuggled down and dozed off. Jack soon followed.

The Next Day

Jack rose first and got herself ready. Dash was stirring in her sleep, muttering about cheese. Jack shrugged it off and tied up her mane and was about to put her Stetson on when a familiar voice impeded her progress. ”Morning Jack” Dash said rising from her bed. “Mornin, Sleep well” Jack asked. “hep, I’m hungry, feed me please!” Dash pleaded. “one sec shugercube, go have a shower” Jack said whilst prodding her friend. “Okay  Okay just stop” dash said with an annoyed tone. Dash left the room and the thump of the bathroom door soon followed. Jack decided to see what breakfast was this morning. A big pitcher of apple juice was on the table with several quartered apples, poached eggs and toast. “Mornin sis” Mac said. “mornin” jack replied. Within a couple of minutes dash had come down and they were all eating happily. Soon afterward bloom had ran off to the treehouse, dash and jack were in an orchard and mac was cleaning the dishes. Dash flew ahead whilst jack lagged behind. She’s….so….beautiful jack said to herself….she didn’t want to think what would happen if dash found out….would she hate her? Would she leave ponyvile?! Jack couldn’t comprehend what would happen if dash found out. They were both quiet on the walk to the next bloomed apple tree. When they arrived jack lay out the baskets and dash started knocking apples out of the tree. “Yer doin great work sugarcube” Jack yelled to her close friend. But by the end of the harvest they’d be more than friends.
