Applejack has been having continuous wet dreams involving her and her close friend and crush, Rainbow Dash. But when Applejack has a wet dream about Rainbow Dash while the latter is spending the night with her, what all will follow? This is my first attempt at writing a fanfiction of any sort, My Little Pony no less. Shipping and clop is new to me, too, so don't kill me if this is horrible! I'm hoping it's not too bad, but hey, I really dunno what I'm doing here.

Anyway, hopefully the story is alright! Appledash shall lie ahead!

Unspeakable Moments

Applejack could feel the sweaty fur of her back clinging onto the dampening sheets beneath her, the heavy breaths and grunts of the daredevil above her in tune with her own pants and groans. It was a rhythm; each time a noise would involuntarily pass their lips, Rainbow Dash would grind into her harder, more passionately and eagerly, and a low whine would fall from her muzzle. All the while, the heat of the fuel was struck ablaze when Applejack would lift her heavy, groggily eyelids to see the mare above her, even if just for a moment.

Every glimpse she could manage to sneak was a worthwhile one. In her vision, which was bouncing due to the anxious massaging of her marehood against the pegasus rubbing her body up into the sheets, she would see the rainbow streaked mane disheveled by arousal. The matted mane was mopped over a face shaded cyan -- and a sweaty one at that, features consisting of violet eyes half lidded, glazed with pleasure while her muzzle was parted. The tongue lolled out, droll dripping onto Applejack's neck and dribbling down to either side with the lack of balance. She could hardly feel it against the humidity of them both beneath the sheets.

The moisture in the air was mostly stirred by the slick pressing and bobbing of their marehoods against one another, folds slipping together and clits striking one another with a slosh of passionate wetness. "Mm-hhnn... A-Applejack, yess.." A hot hiss of a breath fell from Dash's lips.

The farmpony felt a familiar building work in her groin, very present as each moment of pleasure vibrating through her proceeded, if not increased. Before she knew it, a loud moan erupted from her lips, and her head crashed back onto the pillow as her eyes squeezed shut.

In reality, something akin to the opposite would occur, as the earth pony flung herself upright with a gasp, heart stumbling a few paces before resuming it's impossibly quick racing. Managing to catch an intake of breath, she desperately heaved for air, slumping a bit and running her hooves through her blonde mane in the moment, which lacked it's tie and hat for the night. In her movement, she felt her private area mash into the puddle she had created, a tingle of pleasure working up into her and the mare of it's belonging giving a quiet grunt. She hated when this happened.

Of course, it was a dream, as any other day always was. But.. Why, for once, couldn't she have any other dreams for once? Every night, it was the same scenario. Her and Rainbow Dash.. Making love in her bedroom. It was frustrating for a number of reasons; no climaxing, no reasoning for the sudden wet dreams about her friend, the continuous requirement to have to wash her sheets because of these reoccurring dreams... But worst of all? The lack of satisfaction. She wanted Rainbow Dash. She needed Rainbow Dash. No matter how much she clopped, there was never satisfaction, and wouldn't be without the mare.

A frustrated groan was split short when a form stirred next to her, and as Applejack blinked, bewildered, over to the shifting lump, she gently lifted a hoof to brush past her eyelids. Rubbing the lidded emeralds for a moment, she reopened her eyes to find a troubled cyan pegasus had sat up with some effort and now gazed ahead at her. "AJ? You okay?" She nearly leaped out of the bed at the sound of the voice, the shock of remembering tonight had been the night Dash was staying over crashing down on her all at once. On impulse, Applejack replied breathlessly, "U-uh.. Just fine!" How could she have forgotten?

The pegasus shifted to steady her frame, sitting up a bit, and as the mare inspected her with concern, Applejack did the same.

Admittedly, this was the first time the pegasus had spent the night over, and she had to say; Dash had a serious case of bedhead.

In the farmpony's still-aroused eyes, it was actually kind of.. Sexy. It looked dangerously close to that of in her dream; messy and disorderly this way and that with wild abandon, strings of orange and yellow hair curling down the middle of Rainbow Dash's face while the fur of her cheeks her fluffed up due to her having flipped from side to side throughout the night. But her eyes then trailed down to the lips, and an impulse to press them against her own washed over her. But then they began to move. "You sure? You're sweating,"

Applejack had little time to admire Rainbow's messy features when said pony spoke up, pointing out the cold fluid AJ could feel across the back of her neck. "Ah am?" She brushed a hoof over her forehead nervously, the tone shaky in her voice. As the rainbow maned pegasus nodded gently, she searched desperately to scramble reasoning as to why, before deciding quickly, "Just a n-nightmare is all," Posture disturbed slightly because of her lie, she was dismayed to hear the following question. "Oh? What was it about?"

"U-uh.." Her heart began to pick up the rate she'd awoken with when expectant magenta eyes remained upon her, prompting her reply with a slight nod. "W-well.. You were there," She began uncomfortably, emerald optics darting either which way to avoid Rainbow's. "And.." She looked back at her friend, sucking in a breath. And what? And what, Applejack, and what? And.. "Y'know, I really can't remember," She continued in a blurt, refusing to draw out a lie but instead deliver a little fib. It was a little white lie to cover up something that should be hidden for the better. How could she ever possibly explain her dream to Rainbow Dash? .. Not that she'd ever consider that. Things simply wouldn't be the same, most definitely for the worse. That was the last thing AJ wanted..

"Oh?" The pegasus mumbled, looking a little disappointed. She sniffed subconsciously, and the earth pony found nervousness welling up in her to think she might smell her arousal, which was thankfully dying down and a little muffled by her musk stained marehood pressing down into it. "I can get you a glass of water or something, if you want." While her first instinct was to turn down the offer, it dawned on her that the absence of her friend could help her calm down a bit, and maybe help her quickly clean up the little mess of a stain she'd made. At least find a way to mask the scent. Maybe it would buy her time to.. She was already very worked up, and, even though it was very slowly fading away, the slight shifting AJ was doing -- even a bit of the movement from Dash -- was causing her puffy lower lips to slosh silently more into the puddle of arousal. That definitely wasn't helping.

"Y-yeah, that'd be nice. Thanks, Dash," Applejack spoke after a few long seconds. "Don't sweat it." Was her response, and the pegasus shifted, taking the time to stretch out her forelegs before releasing a yawn. All the while, there was an anticipating wink down in Applejack's marehood, and after what seemed like forever -- but was only a matter of seconds -- Rainbow Dash slipped out of the bed and started for the door. Reluctantly watching Dash's athletic figure (particularly her, dare say, rump) as she exited the room, with the click of the door behind her as it closed, Applejack released a breath of relief that she never recalled holding.

Ears twitching at the sound of her friend trotting as quietly as she could down the stairs (as not to awake the other apple family members), Applejack silently pushed aside her thick, red and black crosshatch blanket, letting the cold air hit her lower half.

Exposed completely as she spread her hind legs, she relaxed back to lay her head down on the warm pillow, adjusting her position. Shortly, she was comfortable, and she found her motions feverish as she began.

Placing a hoof simply on her lower belly, she let it linger there for a moment. To her misfortune, the minutes spent before had wasted much of her arousal, and she fluttered her eyes shut, picking through scenarios that could get her off quickly. What distractedly annoyed her was that a majority of her ideas consisted of Rainbow Dash and her, if not just the former. But it didn't matter; she didn't have a great amount of time, and she felt hot enough to keep going, settling on the image of the rainbow maned mare presenting herself in front of Applejack. Slowly, she began to slide her hoof further down her sweaty orange fur. The closer it got, the more her privates twitched in anticipation, and the hotter they got. The more they worked to wet her previously drying arousal to prepare for what was to come.

Just as Applejack pictured her fantasy of Rainbow in more detail, the tip of her hoof stroked across her clit, drawing forth a nearly inaudible gasp that fell into a moan. She pressed her hoof down into the sensitive nub, a hind leg jerking abruptly at the pleasure-piercing sensation. Nearly losing the imagination behind her lidded emerald eyes, she neatly pieced back together the dirty thought, running her hoof down to press into her folds and feeling them produce an aroused liquid. That same encouraging precum let her hoof's up and down motions lube it into an increasing amount of pleasure, and she began to rub into a circular motion, pressing down a little harder so that her folds spread to her tuning.

Deciding she needed to quicken up, Applejack decided that a little bit of verbal stimuli could be necessary to near her closer to climax. Couldn't hurt, right?

She imagined the cyan pegasus with a seductive grin, still presenting herself to the farmpony as she gazed over her shoulder, eyes half-lidded and framed with thick lashes. "Like what you see, farmgirl?" At her picturing of the voice uttered, a small tingle ran down Applejack spine. AJ spread her legs a little further, and pictured Rainbow's tongue in place of her hoof, slipping up and down and in circles around her now-very-lubricated sex. "Mmhm, Dashie," Applejack grunted gently, a small smile spreading over her muzzle at her own use of the nickname. It was quite rare from her, used much more often by Pinkie and Fluttershy, but this occasion was something that it could aid her in.

All at once, a familiar pressure began to swell in her loins, and she worked more anxiously, a quiet 'shlick' sounding in the air. She could not stop it without stopping her motions, and she refused to do such a thing, especially so close. Arching her back a little, she peeked a nervous eye open, but it saw nothing in it's daze and snapped back shut as a furious dam broke through and she felt pleasure smite her. She shuddered, arching her back harder, letting out a sudden gasp, an ache in her shoulder all the while as she rubbed hard and fast against her marehood in time with her climax. Pure ecstasy closed in on her, and she didn't have time to muffle a questionably erotic cry that would probably be loud enough for anyone in the house to hear.

Soon enough, it died down, and the afterglow she basked in was brilliant as usual. That same little empty pang echoed in her at the lack of the real thing. Either way, she was relieved. Not satisfied, but relieved.

Relaxing, melting out of her tense state, she hurriedly flicked open her emerald eyes, one opening at first but both soon at attention. To her great luck, there was no sign of Rainbow Dash, and she let out a breath of relief. That same sigh caught in her throat at the sound of the door opening, slowly enough so that she threw the covers over herself, scrambling to sit up, just in time as Rainbow Dash seemed to pause while stepping past the doorway. Either way, she gently closed the door back with a back hoof, one of her forelegs holding the glass of water she'd set off for.

With a flustered face, Dash spoke up, glimpsing Applejack's feverish motions. "Uh.. S-sorry, didn't mean to scare you," Applejack shifted to adjust her posture, the one she'd jerked into somewhat uncomfortable, replying with a slightly unsteady, ".. No problem, sugarcube," One of her cyan ears flicked and she held up the glass of water a little higher, emphasizing it a little before gently handing it to Applejack. While it could be considered a little gross, AJ couldn't muster up a relatable reason as not to take it, and with her damp hoof and it's dry twin she gently took the glass from Dash.

She could see the pegasus eyeing her hooves, and it made her nervous beyond belief, but when her head tilted a little and her hoof brushed AJ's wet one upon the latter taking the glass, she blinked up at the farmpony. "Your hoof's wet," She pointed out obviously, before asking bluntly, "Why?" Applejack didn't know how to get out of this one. She didn't want to lie again, but she couldn't tell the truth. So, hoping her dishonesty wasn't nearly as obvious as everyone said it was and it was known for, she answered a bit too quickly, "No idea. Must'a.. S-stepped in somethin'," Applejack cleared her throat, and for the third time that day, her heart went into a panic when Dash gently lowered to her snout to the wet hoof.

Blinking at it, she leaned in and sniffed at it, scrunching up her nose. Definitely, AJ knew, Dash was sensing something off a bit about the smell, and Applejack could have sworn she saw Dash smirk a little. At her attempt to retract her freshly used hoof, she was stopped by Rainbow's own, and the pegasus held it firmly still as she sniffed at it again. Soon enough, she released the earth pony, and horror flashed through the farmpony's eyes as she saw the grin on her friend's face.

Wings fluttering, she let out a chuckle at first, before falling into laughter. Within Rainbow Dash's guffaws, a look of terror struck AJ's face, and she defensively pulled back her hoof and buried it into the bed, sitting up further and waiting impatiently with a glare for the laughter to die down. "Applejack, you dirty girl!" She managed to say between breaths, wiping a humored tear from her eye. "I can't believe you would.." She snorted, managing to steady her laughter, blowing some raspberries to calm herself down. She still gave a few giggles in the process, that would've otherwise made the farmpony smile from their adorable nature, but it fell quiet and she saw that the look AJ was giving her wasn't something that could ever shape into a smile.

After a moment, it wiped her own smile away, and Dash asked gently with a quirked brow, "What?" Applejack hardened her features, embarrassment finally flushing her face, to which Dash took note of. Finding that she'd left the farmpony speechless, Rainbow Dash cleared her throat, and realized how awkward the situation truly was. After a minute of silence, Dash quietly said, a moment of final thought, "Sorry." To which Applejack let out an annoyed groan and threw her head back down into her pillow.

Realizing how embarrassed her friend truly, truly was, Rainbow Dash fluttered up onto the bed, taking a few gentle steps forward and gazing down at the mare. She'd seriously offended her, hadn't she? How was she to fix it, though! And it wasn't possible she'd be blamed for laughing. But imagining herself being caught like this honestly made her stop and really think about how she just made the mare feel. "I'm sorry, Applejack." She repeated gently, sincerely, but as her friend lacked response, she looked away awkwardly. After some time had passed, she dared to lock gazes with the earth pony again. "Did you really have a nightmare?"

She had to fight back a little bit of surprise when Applejack gently shook her head, and mumbled, "No, ah didn't."

More time passed, and it felt like hours before one of them spoke up, once again the Element of Loyalty. "Look, I'll pretend this never happened, 'kay? We can just move on with our lives, no biggie." Applejack sighed, blinking a few times, the cherry hue of her face merely darkening. It was obvious they couldn't simply pretend she'd never been caught red-hoofed, but hopefully it wouldn't change anything. It wasn't like Dash saw anything specifically, right?

"Ah'm just gonna go back to sleep now." She nearly forgot about the glass of water she wielded, but there was a nice reminder when she leaned back and it nearly spilled onto her warm face. Only a drop dribbled onto her cheek, though, and she was almost surprised it didn't sizzle on her burning blush. "Applejack, it's already morning," Dash spoke up after a second, provoking a groan of annoyance from the addressed pony, who sat the glass down on her bedside dresser and caught a glimpse of the time reading '8:43 A.M.' along the way. At around 8:30 she would have gotten up and ready for work, but she supposed a fifteen minute postponing wouldn't do any harm.

Clearing her throat a little, she stole a glance at Dash, who avoided her gaze as soon as it was briefly offered, and slipped out of the bed with an ache arriving in her bones. Lumbering to her door, she paused, before turning and facing the pegasus who was inspecting the drying wet spot she'd left after her dream. It was obvious she was doing so, but just as soon as AJ turn around she quickly turned away, as if innocent and oblivious of the stain. "Uh.. T-thanks for spendin' the night, Dash," Wow, what a moment for Rainbow's first stay. "I appreciate it.. Had fun," She added awkwardly. The little competitions, games, cider, conversations and what not made for a good time.

But, of course, being who she was, Dash thought about those last two words for a moment before giving a playful wink, causing Applejack's face to flush bright red.

Clearing her throat, she stated, "... Ah'm gonna.. Hop in the shower, and after I'll.. Cl-.. Clean up and whatnot." Dash nodded, a slight grin finding it's way to her muzzle, one she was obviously trying to fight. "I-.. A-After I can fix up some breakfast, if ya'll wanna stay for it." To that, Dash offered a small, genuine smile. "Sure thing."

Small Talk

Applejack had gathered the garments routine before stepping into the shower; the duo of red hair ties for both her mane and tail and her signature hat, the stetson and ponytails both placed on the sink before the mare gently shut the door, securing it closed. Afterward, she would turn and cast herself a look in the mirror. It said within itself exactly what she was thinking. 'How could you have been so stupid?'

Admittedly, after the blur of the moment had died down, she found how ridiculous what she did was. She couldn't just do that when Dash could have been back at any second -- that was a private thing. Not something you did just because you were in the mood. If she'd had some more sense, she could have avoided the embarrassment and inevitable talk that would follow. But instead, she'd.. Ugh, it was ridiculous. And of course, the truth always came out in the end, and then what would her crush think of her? Applejack was no perverted pony. She was also not a liar. Both were true, so why had she been having such dreams about her best friend, and why did she lie several times to avoid admitting it?

It was so.. Frustrating. What would happen if Dash found out just why she did what she did? No doubt their friendship would never stay the same. That seriously hurt, because AJ knew it was a matter of time before the pegasus discovered what she'd been up to this morning. To prevent being assaulted by a headache, she released a soft sigh, and dropped the topic best she could, easing into the shower and sliding the curtain shut.

Easily said, Applejack's shower was simple enough. It had plenty of space to move around. Maybe it would fit three ponies comfortably spaced, with the soaps, shampoos, and conditioners nearly lining the racks along the walls. There were two of each, the pairs twinning, all more or less relating to a light scent of apples which was really not much of a surprise. Besides; it'd gotten her some compliments before, so who was she to switch up scents all of a sudden? It never mattered much to her. It wasn't like ponies would be going around sniffing her coat and mane anyway. As for the walls and floor, also nothing too special. While the walls were a plain white that blinded her during her morning showers, the floors were checkered rather light blue and equally mute orange tiles.

Giving a nearly silent scoff at the idea of someone sniffing her and trying to ignore the coincidental coloring of the ground, she pressed a hoof down onto the shower pedal, pushing it down slightly more until the water was balancing between warm and hot. It was always just enough to help her relax, and she silently hoped Granny Smith or Big Mac wouldn't be planning on showering that morning, because AJ definitely planned to take her time to relax. Who knew what would happen when she sat down at that table, facing Rainbow Dash?

Feeling the water soak her straw-blonde mane with ease, she tilted her head gently back so that it streamed down her face and dampened it freely, flowing down to dribble off her chest. Looking downward, she shifted a little, letting the thin layer of water at her hooves ripple slightly with her motions before she fetched a bottle of the sweet-fragranced soap. Discharging the substance into her hoof, she returned it to it's spot, before inhaling a deep breath and releasing it with the scent of apples perfuming the air.

Doing what she could to relax, Applejack scrubbed the cold soap into the watered fur on her stomach, making rough circles to assure it got easy access to plenty of the coat there, beginning to morph the shape into ovals so that she washed her chest and stomach consecutively. She began drawing soothing smaller ovals inside of the original across her body until it became a spiral. After a few minutes of this, she moved her hooves up to scrub around her neck and shoulders, lifting her chin up and craning her neck only a tad for easier access on her upper body. The soap was a fantastic smooth along her body, but when she proceeded to the shampoo and conditioning of her blonde hair, it was as if running her hooves through silk.

Her technique was working, for the most part. She was feeling quite relaxed by the moment, the everlasting kisses of water droplets salting the shower floor drowning out any other sound, despite that she could have sworn she heard the click of a door out of somewhere. Presuming this her stirring imagination, she neglected her thoughts once more, merely focusing on the sound of hot water falling around her and peppering against her body, proceeding with her wash until every inch of her body was cleansed. By the time she'd gotten out, she hardly remembered why she was so nervous upon getting in, but when she stepped back into reality it all came back to her in excruciating remembrance.

Either way, she subconsciously paid little to no attention as she brushed out her mane and tail, slipping their ponytails in their respective places once she finished and exiting the bathroom.

The moment she had stepped out of the room, she felt absolutely refreshed. It was fantastic. But on the inside? Her gut was twisting, throat was tighter than ever before, heart was suddenly so fragile, and she felt like something was missing both physically and inwardly. She had checked herself drowsily over and she seemed all set physically, but the way her heart cried out in pain when she thought about losing Dash as a friend was something nobody should have to feel. It was a wrenching kind of hurt, chipping apart the sides of a hole so nothing could ever fit there the right way again. Sighing, AJ finished her task of putting the sheets and blanket in the washer, deciding to throw the pillows in, before letting the machine begin to wash them as she headed downstairs.

Tail flicking nervously, she stopped midway down the stairs, craning her neck and peeking aside to see if Rainbow Dash was anywhere in view. To her dismay, she couldn't quite see much, but she glimpsed the tip of a rainbow tail in the room of the kitchen, and could make out Applebloom's voice coming from the same room, with a sudden chuckle from Dash that she couldn't tell the emotion of. Giving a curious hum, Applejack quickly ventured down the rest of the way and was in the kitchen in a matter of gliding steps, stopping in abrupt puzzlement at what she saw.

That's what's missin'! Was her initial thought.

On one side of the table, a familiar rainbow mare had ridded of her bedhead and straightened the fur in need, hair capped with a familiar stetson that the farmer wondered how she'd gotten. AJ definitely remembered taking it into the bathroom with her.. And the pony was wearing an unmistakable blush. Her hat looked good on Dash, and that blush was absolutely adorable. Feeling herself warm at the sight, she blinked across the table to find Applebloom, who had --

"'Bloom! Gimme that right this second!" AJ cried out her command, hurrying over and snagging her diary from the hooves of the filly, who jumped in surprise. "What have ah I told you 'bout that?" This was the second time she was caught taking her diary to read to Rainbow, and AJ had learned she always read everything starting from the beginning. No skipping; she seemed to have tried to get every detail she could about anything since her Cutie Mark Crusading. That's why the farmer was in horror to see she was on page four. Luckily, the filly wasn't the fastest reader, and only things Dash knew was in the first three. But they looked around halfway down the fourth page, which started her feelings about the mare in the very room with them!

Passing the crusader a scolding look, she turned to the pegasus, who's blush was very present but accompanied by a smug smirk. "So, who's this 'mare of your dreams', AJ?" She asked, a brow raising, to which AJ glanced down nervously. At page five she had told who she was referring to was. But throughout four? Just details about why she loved them so much. Why she loved her so, so much.

Giving a sigh and refusing to answer, Applejack tried to ease out of her tense state, which was easily showing on her face. Trotting over to her friend, she gently leaned up and nipped the hat off her head, flipping it so that it pancaked neatly onto her own. She unmistakably felt Rainbow's muzzle knowingly brush against her chin as she'd taken the cap, a sort of nimble nuzzle that caused AJ's heart to flutter. Why was she such a.. Such a tease? Applejack loved it. Applejack loved her. Not that she knew. That was a secret well kept, and she'd have to find another place for her diary.

"Ah'm sorry! But she came down here talkin' about how Hearts and Hooves Day is comin' up and I 'membered all that mushy stuff you write down in yer book there," The filly explained, features apologetic as she watched Applejack start toward the refrigerator, giving a sigh. "Hon, you know you ain't supposed to be stickin' your nose where it just don't belong. Listen here," She glanced sternly back to her sister. "Don't you be touchin' that journal no more, hear me?" The filly replied with a groan, which drew into, "Fiiinnneee."

AJ opened the fridge, feeling the cold air broadcast out from it, radiating onto her face. She was trying to keep quiet, but it was difficult, because she felt a little guilty in scolding Applebloom in front of Rainbow. She knew better, though! Placing her diary on the nearby counter, she glanced across the various choices they'd had to offer. "Anythin' in particular you two want?" She asked over her shoulder, to which Applebloom requested pancakes for herself, shortly after to the agreement of Rainbow. "Pancakes it is."

Throughout much of the time they'd been eating, Rainbow Dash seemed to be lost in thought. It was continuous, with only short pauses, but she felt otherwise trapped in a gigantic building with no doors or windows or openings at all, wandering around in her own mind and rummaging sometimes for a topic. She needed to talk to Applejack, this was something AJ knew; she could just tell there was something on the pegasus's mind. What, though, she wasn't sure specifically. Either way, it made her nervous. Too fast for the farmer's liking had Applebloom devoured her food, and while jobs had a day off, she scampered away to school. Deciding not to sit in silence, Applejack spoke up, quietly but audibly with obviously forced words. "Somethin' on your mind?"

Rainbow Dash's magenta eyes fluttered in surprise, fixing on Applejack before a slow smile spread her cyan muzzle. AJ didn't know what she was thinking, and it was driving her crazy, watching as the rainbow Pegasus sat up a little straighter. "Applejack, can you show me how to buck trees? Like, your technique?"

This wasn't really a question she would choke on her food over, but it did catch her off guard for it's lack of source, and in the minute she began to think. There was really no sensible reason as to why not. It wasn't as if she hadn't shown her before; she was teachable, just impatient. Besides, anything to take her mind off of.. Yeah. "Sure thing, suga—? Hey!" The last word rose a fine note as her head was robbed of her hat and Rainbow plunked it on her own. She innocently smiled, wide, genuine, and AJ resisted the urge to smile back. "Cool! Thanks!" She chirruped happily, seeming to fall back into thought as she leaned back in her chair, hooves resting on the rim of the Stetson so she could twirl it around on her head.

From that point on, they lacked much conversation. There wasn't anything they could naturally talk about, and at one point Dash asked about Big Mac, who was off in Appleoosa for a break. Granny Smith was still fast asleep, but she'd taken the guest bedroom for the night after insisting the wood of her rocking chair was actually paper in disguise. She really knew how to make a pony worry in terms of her sanity. But for now, Dash and her were alone downstairs.

"Applejack, do you like me?" Was suddenly asked, and, being in her right mind, AJ initially processed it as friend-wise. "'Course ah do, sugarcube. Someone tell ya ah don't?" Looking over at her friend, Rainbow Dash wiggled her brows in return for AJ's gaze, and let silence reign and the blush on her face tell that's not at all what she was referring to. "Oh! Ooh, you mean.. Oh," Why would she ask that?.. Well, it was sorta a natural question, but still. "Oh, sheesh. What are you implyin'?" She joked, offering her friend a smile, but the other's smirk never faded. If anything, it widened, and the blush was a little deeper.

"C'mon, AJ, I really wanna know. Tell me," She sat up and fixed her expectant gaze on the farmer, who was beginning to feel like a deer in the headlights. She couldn't lie out of that one, she'd obviously be caught, so she shifted uncomfortably in her seat and forced her eyes to meet the friction of Dash's.

"W-well.. Who said that?"

The cyan mare seemed to think for a moment. "Well, the way you clopped to me was a biigg hint." AJ gulped, eyes going wide, red spilling over her face. "What makes ya think I.. Clopped to you..? Who said that?" Dash chuckled. "Don't get mad at me or anything, but I sorta heard the whole thing. I think it was the whole thing, anyway," The farmer shifted. "Why didn't ah hear ya comin' up the stairs!" "'Cause I had to fly. Hard to walk on three hooves, and I didn't want the water to spill or something, so I landed right outside your door. All of a sudden here comes this, 'Mmhm, Dashie,'" The imitation was embarrassingly similar, and it was quite erotic, to which Applejack would've hid her face with her hat. But seeing as her crush was equipped with it at the moment, she merely had to keep listening. "And that was another giant hint. I decided not to interrupt your nasty dirty fun times until you were done."

Applejack was slumped in her seat, nearly beneath the table, shame evident on her face and a sudden realization hitting her. "But.. Why did ya'll sniff my hoof!" Dash chuckled once more. "Because! The look on your face was perfect. Now answer my question. I'm not mad or anything, I just wanna know," She prompted. Applejack cast a sideways gaze at the floor, seeming to take great interest in the wooden boarding all of a sudden.

"... Ah don't have time for dating," Dash's demeanor never changed. "It just ain't my thing.. 'Sides. Since when are you into mares?" She quickly took the hat back and placed it in it's rightful spot. Rainbow retorted, "This isn't about me! Since when are you into me?" She playfully poked the farm pony in the side. "Just kidding. I'm totally hot, I know." Reaching across the table once more, the Pegasus nabbed Applejack's last pancake before standing, stretching her wings in a flex and munching up the food.

Tossing over Dash's words in her head, Applejack quietly stood, before motioning for the Pegasus to follow as she started out the back door and into the farm. Rainbow Dash quickly trotted up next to her friend, intentionally pressing against her a little, Applejack nearly stumbling aside a couple times as they walked.
