The Mystery of the Two Sisters: Book 1
Chapter 3: The Prank Gone Wrong
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRainbow Dash and Applejack sleep together that night, and occasionally they would ‘sleep kiss’ each other, not aware of their actions. The next morning Twilight wakes up early and decides to prank Rainbow Dash to get payback after Rainbow Dash had set a rubber snake under Twilight’s pillow as a prank, knowing how scared of snakes Twilight was. Twilight gives a devious grin as she thinks about her revenge prank. She concentrates really hard, and her horn glows a light purple color as she uses her magic to make a small glass of warm water appear beside of Rainbow Dash, then she uses her magic to put Rainbow Dash’s hoof in the water, smiling, knowing what will happen next. After a few minutes, Applejack feels a warm liquid trickling onto her hoof, and she wakes up, then gently nudges Rainbow Dash to wake her. Rainbow Dash wakes up slowly, then feels the wetness around her and looks at Applejack in an apologetic way. “I-I’m sorry, AJ… I-It was an accident, I swear!” Applejack softly nuzzles Rainbow Dash to tell her that it’s ok, then she points a hoof at the glass of water beside of Rainbow Dash, and Twilight starts to laugh. Applejack glares at her and Twilight slowly stops laughing, then walks over to them, an apologetic look in her eyes. “I’m sorry, Rainbow Dash, I just did it to get you back for the prank you played on me at the library… C-can you forgive me?” Twilight says as she looks down in a shameful way. Rainbow Dash looks at her and smiles at her in a challenging way. “I forgive you, Twilight. But you have to admit, the look on your face that night was priceless!” Rainbow dash says with a slight laugh. Twilight smiles and chuckles softly. “Yeah, I guess it was kinda funny.” Twilight says with a smile. “I can help you girls clean up if you want me to…” Applejack nods and kisses Rainbow Dash’s cheek with a smile. “Yeah Twi, I reckon that would be a nice thing to do. I think me and Dashie could clean too.” Applejack says with a smile, and she whispers in Rainbow Dash’s ear. “I think I know what we can do to get Twilight back… Follow me after we finish cleaning.” Rainbow Dash nods in agreement as Twilight hands them a towel and they begin cleaning. After they finish cleaning, Applejack motions for Rainbow Dash to follow her to a hidden corner in the room, and after the hide in the shadows, Applejack pulls one of the small vines off of the wall and takes all of the leaves off of it. Rainbow Dash notices that the vine looks kind of like a small green snake, and she smiles as Applejack hands it to her. “Fly up to the ledge above where Twilight is walking and drop it on her when she isn’t looking.” Applejack says with a determined smile. Rainbow Dash chuckles softly, knowing how scared Twilight will be, and she flies silently up to the ledge where she can drop the vine without Twilight seeing her. Twilight stops to check on the Elements, and Rainbow Dash drops the vine and it lands right in front of Twilight, and Twilight screams. Twilight’s scream is loud enough to wake the others, and Rarity removes her sleep mask fast enough to knock a few of the curlers out of her hair. “Whatever is the matter Twilight, Darling?” She says, obviously worried. Twilight looks down in front of her, then blushes when she sees that the ‘snake’ is actually just a vine from the wall. “I-I thought it was a snake… I’m sorry for waking you girls.” Twilight says, close to crying from fear. Rainbow Dash flies around behind Twilight silently, and she meets Applejack back in the dark corner, and her and Applejack start to giggle, then, unable to control themselves, they start laughing out loud, eventually hugging each other with tears streaming down their cheeks from laughing so hard.Twilight finds them and gives them a fake smile. “Okay you two, I said I was sorry for pranking Rainbow Dash earlier, why’d you prank me again?!” Twilight asks, a hint of leftover fear mixed with anger in her voice. Applejack looks at Twilight with a slightly teary-eyed smile. “Well, it was my idea, Twi… Don’t blame Dashie.” Applejack says as she looks down, slightly ashamed of her actions. Twilight slightly calms down after hearing this, but then suddenly tenses up again as everypony hears the sound of a pipe organ playing from the castle’s run-down auditorium. Rainbow Dash, who is usually looking forward to dangerous adventures, suddenly looks terrified. “W-we don’t have to go toward it, d-do we?” She asks in a shaky voice. Twilight looks at her with the same terrified look in her eyes. “I think it would be a good idea to check it out. Besides, don’t you like danger, Rainbow Dash?” She asks with a forced steady voice. Rainbow Dash gulps loudly, then nods. Applejack gives her a reassuring hug, trying her best to comfort Rainbow Dash and calm her down. “Shh, don’t get all worked up, Dashie. I’ll be with you if something happens.” Applejack says to Rainbow Dash in a sweet, loving voice. Rainbow Dash smiles a little and looks at Applejack. “You promise? You won’t leave my side?” She asks in a slightly worried voice, and Applejack nods. “Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.” Applejack says in a voice that seems to magically cause Rainbow Dash to become more confident about going toward the organ’s music. “But, uh, Dashie, you might want to give Rarity her, uh, I don’t know how to say this politely, lingerie back…” Applejack says, causing Rainbow Dash to look at the dress she’s wearing, then start to blush slightly. “You know AJ, I kinda like it…” Rainbow Dash says, making Applejack and Twilight speechless. “You were just saying last night that it was way too short!” Twilight says, her voice showing how confused she was. Rainbow Dash chuckles, then kisses Applejack and smiles at Twilight. “I’ve always been told that you don’t like anything until you try it out… Plus, I think AJ likes the way I look in it…” Rainbow Dash says, then gives Applejack a surprise kiss on the chin. Applejack blushes slightly, then chuckles. “How do you always guess things like that and get it right?” She says, smiling at Rainbow Dash. Then all of a sudden, the organ starts playing again, and the wall Rainbow Dash and Applejack were leaning against rotates, and they get trapped in a different room. Twilight and the others try everything they can to make the wall turn again, but to no avail. “T-they’re trapped…” Twilight says, unable to hide the worry in her voice as she slowly sits down, close to tears. Applejack and Rainbow Dash also try their best to try to get the wall to turn, and after a few minutes of bucking the wall as if it were an apple tree, Applejack gives up. Rainbow Dash flies to the far end of the room, then flies like a bullet toward the wall, but Applejack catches her in a strong hug, and Rainbow Dash notices Applejack is really worried. “It’s no use, Dashie… We’re stuck here…” She says before sinking down into a sitting position. Rainbow Dash picks Applejack up and gives her a stern look. “Look AJ, we are NOT stuck unless we give up. There has to be another way out of here, and we’re gonna find it. I’m not going to give up, and you’re not going to let you marefriend down, are you?” She say in a stern, coach-like, yet caring way. Applejack looks up at Rainbow Dash, a determined look in her eyes. “Well Dashie, my beautiful marefriend, let’s get out of here.” She says, then gently moves under Rainbow Dash and carries her. “AJ, I have wings, you know.” Rainbow Dash says in a joking way as Applejack carries her for a while. Applejack smiles as she nods. “Yeah Dashie, I’m aware of that fact, but I want to repay you for that little pep talk you gave me a few minutes ago.” She says as she looks back at Rainbow Dash. “Y-you don’t have to repay me, AJ!” Rainbow Dash says with a slight smile, then her smile grows wider. “But if you insist, there is one certain method of repaying me that I’ll accept…” She says in a soft, persuasive voice. Applejack gets the hint and stops in her tracks, gently throwing Rainbow Dash, who spreads her wings and flies slowly down in front of Applejack. “Well, I see you really want to repay me, don’t you, AJ?” Rainbow Dash says with a seductive voice, smiling in a hungry way. Applejack nods, smiling in the same hungry way. “Oh yes, Dashie. I do!” She says, slowly approaching Rainbow Dash.
