Zap Apples, The Forbidden Fruit

    It was nearing sunset when Applejack arrived via balloon to Rainbow Dashes cloud house for a dinner and girl time.  She had Twilight cast a cloud walking spell on her so she could go.  After their last failed challenge Applejack had set up a little one on one time so she could see the cloud house finally and see how the real Rainbow Dash relaxes.

As she got out of the basket she tested the sturdiness of the cloud. This just ain't natural, why did I agree to this?  Agree?  I done talked Twilight into setting it up that day I saw her.  If anything goes wrong I'm gonna hide in a apple tree for a week.  They're gonna have to buck the tree down to get me out, if Ah don't fall to a pancake from here first.

    As Applejack adjusted to walking on the clouds Rainbow Dash opened the door and leaned on the frame watching as Applejack bounced and poked the 'ground' beneath her.  She giggled to herself as she watched the orange mare bouncing like Pinkie Pie only not nearly as excited.  "Hey Applejack, you aren't gonna grow a tree up here so let's just get some food.  I cooked all by myself and I bet I can eat more than you," with that Rainbow flew into the house leaving the door open.  Applejack raced afterwards taking brief awe at the construction of the house made from compacted clouds.

    Running into the dining room Applejack sat down as Rainbow was chewing her first bite.  A salad of mixed vegetables on a single lettuce leaf, a bowl of hot tomato soup and a cup of mixed fruit juice sat before her as she looked at Rainbow Dash chewing quickly getting another bite. "Fhew awrnt gowna whin loukin aht yhur phood." Rainbow challenged as she picked up the soup and drank it straight from the bowl splattering some as she slammed the bowl down onto the table to take another bite.

    Looking at the food setup in front of her her heart beat a little faster as she thought for a second about how romantic it almost felt.  Fresh food made by hoof and a challenge to boot.  Grabbing the lettuce Applejack rolled it around the salad and bit it in half.  Chewing a couple times she drank the soup from the bowl and took another bite of her wrap.  Rainbow Dash slowed her chewing as she was awestruck by the idea of making a wrap instead of taking individual bites.

    Finishing the wrap and downing the last of the soup Applejack sat back and sipped her juice with a smile, "Ahhh, that was a good snack.  What else you got, ya gonna serve dinner anytime soon?"  Tipping her hat in respect to Rainbow Dash she gulped the last of her juice and placed the cup upside down on the plate.

    Stopping as she looked at her plate there were still a few bites left and she hadn't touched her juice yet. "Phwah Wrelp," stopping to swallow her mouthful in one large gulp Rainbow continued. "Yeah, well you just eat more than I do cuz you're a hard working earth pony, I'm a Pegasus.  We have to eat smaller balanced meals more often," she fibbed poking at her last couple bites before she picked up her juice and looked at it.

    "Now, what in tarnation does my race have to do with anything?  Ahm just hungry was all, I skipped lunch so I could eat with you,  then you make this inta a race too! Can't we just spend time together without ya makin' it a thing."  Applejack asked with frustration in her voice.  Rainbow smiled as she looked into her juice.  Fresh pulp of a half dozen fruits were lumped and coalesced together as she took a drink and looked to Applejack.

   "You wanna know a thing that's funny?  One of Rarities fancy schmancy getups," Rainbow suggested changing the topic.  "I totally can't believe she wore that one dress she was designing to Pinkie’s party a couple weeks ago then got all upset when cake got on it, I mean it's a Pinkie party, it's gonna be messy."

    "And that time she got you to wear that hat ta inspire her that was made of all them bells and whistles," Applejack chuckled.

    "Yeah, I remember they jingled a lot and when I took it off you blew one of the whistles and scared that cat of hers."

    "Yeah," Rainbow grabbed her side laughing as she remembered the look on Rarities face as Opalescence jumped on her back with her claws out. "She cried for five minutes about her mane being messed up and the cat was still stuck to her side upside down."

After a few more minutes of talking they laughed a lot then Applejack began cleaning up.

    "Thanks for dinner Rainbow Dash, even though I didn't get to taste much of it the talk was great.  So, it's still early, can we relax some?"

    "Sure, let's go turn on some music in the living room."  Rainbow grabbed Applejack and pulled her out of the room as she fluttered backwards into the living room.  She let Applejack go and smiled as she landed and trotted backwards to the radio.

    Applejack's heart raced for a moment at the offer.  Romantic music after a hoof made dinner, could this be happening?  They went to the living room and Rainbow Dash turned on some rock and roll at high volume.

    "Say, Rainbow Dash. Maybe we could turn on something a little quieter?" shouted Applejack over the music. "Let me pick something better!" she shouted as she trotted past the air guitar soloist.  She found some relaxing music on the radio and Rainbow Dash stopped and looked at Applejack.

    "AJ, that was the best part.  I was practicing that move all week and now you wanna listen to slow music?"

"Rainbow, how're we gonna talk if I can't even hear m'self think?"

    Rainbow thought for a second, "By writing?"  Applejack laughed as she pushed Rainbow Dash to the couch and sat a cushion away.

    "Rainbow, are you lookin' for a new mate?  Maybe I can find you somepony, I know a lotta ponies in town, what's your type?"

    "AJ, thanks for the offer but I'm not ready to see any new stallions.  After my last two lovers I haven't had any luck.  Honestly can I tell you something, a secret between us?" Rainbow Dash said as she leaned closer and lowered her voice.

    "You know you can, cross my heart, and why are you whispering, we're a thousand feet over the town in a cloud."  Rainbow sat up and rubbed her messy mane with her hoof.

    "Okay, this is embarrassing, but, I have some things I got from Canterlot that do a better job, much better." Rainbow Dash laughed awkwardly as she said the last part. "Sometimes I think that maybe I should try mares, I might get more out of it."

    Applejack felt her heart skip a beat and she couldn't think for a moment as Rainbow Dashes words echoed in her ears. "AJ, AJ?  AJ!?" Rainbow Dash called startling Applejack back into reality.  "I lost you for a second.  Is it because I said I had some toys?  I know it's weird and I shouldn't have 'em, but I think every mare needs some way to release when stallions can't hack it!"

    "Sugarcube, I'm not thinking about that, it's just that...  Well, what you said about trying mares kinda caught me off guard, did you mean it?"

    "Uh, AJ, I'm talking about stallions here, they don't make stuff like that for mare on mare action.  And how would that even work?  Mares don't have the parts!" Rainbow Dash chuckled.

    Applejack looked down and felt her blood pressure normalizing, "Sugarcube, it works, otherwise they wouldn't do it."

   Looking at Rainbow Dash Applejack smiled and moved in to hug Rainbow Dash, but instead kissed her.  Rainbow Dash was stunned and didn't know what to do.  She pulled back a little but felt Applejack wrapping her forelegs tighter around her back as her soft lips pressed against Rainbow Dashes.

    It was the longest six seconds of Rainbow Dashes life and when it was over Applejack looked into Rainbow Dashes eyes and didn't see the passion she was hoping for, "Rainbow Dash, I'm so sorry.  I couldn't help it.  I-I-I don't know what ta say."

    Staring at Applejack, Rainbow Dash finally blinked and took in deep breath as she opened her wings, releasing Applejacks grip.  Applejack felt her back turn to ice as she looked into Rainbow Dashes face and her heart jumped to her throat.  This was the reaction she was ready for but when she saw it she wasn't prepared for the feeling, "Sugarcube, please forgive me, I-"

    Rainbow Dash lunged onto Applejack knocking her to her back and kissed her as she closed her eyes.  She felt the warm breath from Applejack against her nose and the moisture of her tongue against her lips, I can't believe I'm kissing AJ, what am I doing, why does it feel okay?  I was always told this was wrong, please don't let it stop. "Mmmhhmm."

    Applejack wrapped her forelegs around Dash again, pulling her in closer so she could feel their bodies rubbing against each other.  Applejack moved her hind leg under Rainbow Dash and moved her knee up making Rainbow Dash jump and squeal as she hovered over Applejack, "Why Rainbow Dash, did I just hear a mouse?"

    Wha-What did you do?  I felt that to my hooves," Rainbow Dash asked with surprise as she landed next to Applejack with an awkward smile, "AJ, I don't know what we're doing and I don't wanna give you the wrong discretion about us."

    "Sugarcube, I don't think discretion means what you means but I know who I am and I want this.  I can see you want to try it.  I guarantee you it's gonna be awesome."

    "Really?  Awesome?  I think I'd have to be the judge of that."

    "I bet you it'd be more awesome than anything you've ever had in your life."  Take the bait, Take the bait, Take the bait

    Rainbow Dashes breath quickened, "I never back down from a challenge," she shouted as she jumped on Applejack again, kissing her open mouth this time, "I bet you're gonna get there first."

    "Sugarcube, we ain't even started yet," Applejack said as she moved her hind leg back between Dashes legs.  As Applejack raised her knee she felt the heat and moisture on her knee and the rainbow tail brushing her lower legs.  Being driven by a more primal force now Applejack rolled them to the floor and took Dashes face in her hooves pulling her into a tighter kiss.  As Applejack moved her legs so the crosses Dashes they lost themselves in the moment.

    Rubbing her leg against the base of Dashes tail the cyan mare trembled as she was kissed, her wings opened fully and moved independently as she moaned, opening her mouth enough to let Applejack slide her tongue inside and taste mixed berries, "AJ, let's go upstairs to my room," Dash said as she tried to catch her breath and refocus her eyes, "I think we have a bet to settle."
