Fluttershy wouldn't dare miss the opportunity given. She thought having a sleepover with her friends was absolutely delightful, and, after finding out the strangely early designated time, she arrived at the immediate minute, gazing to her watch and-- 2:25. There we go! Lifting her hoof, she gave a few gentle knocks, before a purple unicorn slipped open the door. Upon her nose rested a pair of glasses, horn sparkling an aura and a book floating next to her. "Oh! Fluttershy! Just on time." The mare chirped, stepping aside to allowed the yellow Pegasus inside, a sheepish grin on her muzzle.

"Oops-- sorry! I didn't expect you to arrive so.. Exactly on time." Twilight admitted, scraping a few books up and onto assigned shelves with her magic, carefully placing them in their specific homes.

"O-oh.. I'm sorry." Fluttershy murmured, tail dragging the ground as she trotted over to Twilight, who now patted a spot on a seat. Fluttershy obeyed, seating herself where offered before the purple mare settled in across from her, levitating a few edible daisies from the kitchen and placing them in front of Fluttershy politely. "So, it will probably be some time before the others get here. Wanna talk?" The princess offered, a smile on her muzzle.

"S-sure." Fluttershy spoke, moving a strand of light pink hair from her bright blue eyes and behind her light yellow ear. After inquired what, or if anything was on her mind, she softly shrugged. Twilight would probably be the best to talk to, in terms of feeling left out, of all her friends. Right? "U-Um, t-to be honest.." She started awkwardly, trailing off and gazing to the ground. How could she state this without Twilight assuming she wasn't doing enough? She truly was-- Fluttershy didn't feel abandoned. Just solitary, in a bad way. In an alone way. "Yeess?" Twilight pressed encouragingly.

"N-nevermind. H-how are you, T-Twilight?" Quickly dropping the subject, it seemed to whisk away from Twilight as she wore a confused look, but soon replaced it with a shrug. "Oh, nothing really. Everything has been going smoothly, but who knows how long that could really last, here in Ponyville." After the yellow mare gave a small nod of understanding, Twilight expected a return of average happening before a few more knocks on her door sounded.

The violet unicorn quickly hoped up, trotting the door as a couple bangs erupted into it. She hurried it open, blinking at the sight of Applejack, Pinkie, and an approaching Rainbow Dash. "Ah told ya she heard it tha first time." AJ stated, glancing at Pinkie Pie with a bit of annoyance. "Heeeyy~ I was just making sure!"

After invited inside, they soon politely entered the house, all three of them wearing heavy saddlebags that dropped to the floor when a snatch was undone on their back. Pinkie Pie immediately started unrolling a sleeping back, before Applejack soon did the same. Rainbow Dash didn't seemed to have one, claiming she'd spend her night on the couch, therefore leaving her saddlebag's contents unknown. Before anyone could query on it, she lifted it, taking flight and cruising to place it on an unused top section on a book shelf.

"So; we waiting on Rarity, or are we gonna get this party started?" Rainbow Dash seemed to announce, a smile stretching her mouth.

Fluttershy hopped down from her seat, now lingering on the sidelines, curious as to what they could do first; without Rarity.

"Hmm.. Well, I guess we could do Truth or Dare." Twilight shrugged, not wanting to bore her friends. After they all happily complied, they were in Twilight's room, all sitting in a cozy circle and beginning the game. Twilight, of course, would start it out, but they had been doing boring truths about hair dye and teeth brushing. All until a little complaint from Rainbow Dash-- regarding it's dullness-- sounded and the game twisted into a more evolvingly interesting story.

"Well, Dash, if yer so bored, why dontcha take another turn then?" Applejack remarked, hooves crossing.

Rainbow Dash scoffed. "Fine. Applejack, Nothing or Dare?"

"What? It's called 'Truth', Sugarcube."

"Those are boring. Just pick dare."

"Alrighty, then.. Dare."

Contemplating numerous, daring things that ranged from dangerous to romantic, Rainbow eventually tugged a mischievous smirk onto her lips. "I dare you to make out with Fluttershy!"

Small gasps were absorbed in the circle of five, a squeak from Fluttershy earned.

Applejack, stubbornly, crossed her hooves. "I ain't doin' that! Are ya'll crazy?" She cried, granted a: "What? Chicken?" The farm pony then scoffed, glancing over to Fluttershy. "If Fluttershy's is comfy with it, then I don't care! But I ain't gonna force one'mah best friends to.. T-to make out." Fluttershy then gave an absentminded, "I-I don't really care.. I d-don't wanna ruin the game.."

The other two watched in shock as Dash, with some trouble, lifted Applejack and dropped her in front of Fluttershy.

It was obvious AJ couldn't cower now, and Fluttershy wouldn't dare move an inch. An abrupt,  "Heelllooo?" Sounded from RD before Applejack sighed. Here went everything.

Leaning in a bit, centimeters of breath held their muzzles apart, and the room was completely and utterly silent. Nothing interrupted as they wished it would, and minutes passed, the fragrance of apples and the soft nature smell dancing together before a need was built up in both of them. The moisture hinted hot between them, tension growing before Applejack burst forward.

Both of them were immediately sparked with the enchantment of the other's gentle and, in one's case, delicate lips. They held pursed lips together for a moment before AJ's head tipped to the side and her muzzle opened to encase around Fluttershy's lips. The yellow Pegasus soon did the same, wings fluttering before her maw parted and her mouth's contents were exposed through a small opening. Invited in, Applejack's tongue ran along Fluttershy's lips, and she pressed forward so that it slipped from the soft lips and into Fluttershy's opening. Both of their hearts thumped in their chest and throat, tail tips occasionally twitching as their tongues began to dance together, entwining on one another's smooth surfaces before saliva worked forward and dripped from one another's tongues. Sloshing together, Fluttershy gave an embarrassing moan, and a smile tugged on Applejack lips before she raised her hooves and rested on Fluttershy's shoulders before sliding them up to her neck, and soon the back of her head.

For a while, she stroked the pegasus's pink mane, their lips beginning to want action as a few breaths pressed into each other's mouths. Soon, Applejack could be seen scooting forward in the kiss, pulling Fluttershy into it deeper once again, the yellow mare tensing and reluctantly settling. Their marehoods great hotter and hotter, burning with anxiousness.

After crisp, solid minutes passed-- 15, to be exact-- they finally stopped to catch their breath, immediately inhaling and exhaling as if enchanted, AJ's head hanging as she quietly panted for air, Fluttershy gasping for breaths.
