Rainbow skies & Macintosh Apples
(Dashie’s POV)
I smiled as I flew through the chilly air; I was stopping by Sweet Apple Acres to say hi to Big Mac. The farm finally came into view; I could see Applejack working in the south Apple orchard. She looked up and waved at me, I waved back. I finally spotted my favorite red stallion; I decided to sneak up on him. I fluttered silently and landed on his back, he jumped a little.
“Dashie, ya scared me,” he said, nuzzling his snout into my prismatic mane. I gave him a small smile and blushed slightly; I hopped off Big mac’s back and stood in front of him.
“Sorry Red, I’ll try not to next time, so do you need help with anything?” I smiled up at him. He looked like he was thinking about it. He just smiled back at me.
“Sure, ah need help with the north Apple orchard, Ah need to check all tha trees n branches” he said. I nodded and fluttered alongside of him as we made our way towards the orchard. Big Mac occasionally nuzzled against my neck, I blushed. We finally made it to the south orchard, I fluttered above Big Mac.
“So Red, am I just go along each tree and picking out the dead branches?” I asked. He just nodded.
“Eeyup, pick out all tha rotten apples” he finished smiling. I nodded and looked through the first tree; I threw out a few branches.
“No rotten apples in this tree” I beamed as I made it to the next tree. It took quite a few hours to look through all of the trees, and then we threw all the branches into the shed and the rotten apples in the compost box. I sat in front of Big Mac, he hugged me tightly. I took a deep breath in; I loved the smell of him. Sweat, Apples and a hint of grain. I smiled up at him and kissed him gently, I wrapped my cyan wings around him. He leans his forehead against mine.
“Thanks for tha help Dashie, Ah appreciate it. It would've taken longer, Ah'm glad ya showed up” Big Mac smiled at me.
“Of course Big Red, I’ll always come around to help, whenever you need me” I said. I heard Applebloom ring the dinner bell. I let go of Big Mac and waved goodbye as I flew off towards Ponyville. I finally made it to my cloud house, I sighed happily once I made it into my house. I walked to my bathroom and grabbed my rain cloud and walked over to my fireplace, I started a fire to warm up the rain cloud. After a while I walked back into the bathroom, I hit the rain cloud and warm water fell from it into the bathtub. After it was full I stepped into the hot water, I just lay there letting the stress of the day melt away. I let out a long sigh as I started to wash my mane and tail, I rinsed off and started to dry myself. I brushed out my mane and tail and snuggled into my warm bed, I slowly started to doze off. I slowly opened my magenta eyes, it was raining today. I’m glad it was fall but sometimes I hated how cold it got, I stretched out my wings. I was going nowhere until the rain stopped; I sat in front of my warm fire for a while to wake myself up. I got after sitting in front of my fireplace for an hour it stopped raining, I ate some strawberries and flew out into the cool air. I looked up and saw a beautiful prismatic rainbow; I smiled as I flew higher into the sky.
(Big Mac’s POV)
I let out a sigh as I stepped outside; it was a cold fall day. I looked up into the sky and saw a beautiful rainbow that made me think of my Dashie, I hope to see her today. I smiled at the plowed field, and the south and north apple orchards. I’m glad those two orchards were taken care of, I was hoping Rainbow Dash would show up today so we could do east apple orchard today. I made my way towards the east apple orchard, I saw Applejack make her way towards the shed to grab firewood. I waved at my sister and continued walking; I looked up into the sky, hoping to see my favorite cyan Pegasus with beautiful prismatic hair. I finally made it to the orchard; I could see quite a few branches that were broken. I started to pick out the ones I could reach; I threw the broken branches into my cart. I looked up at the sky again, this time I saw a cyan Pegasus flying through the air. I smiled as she landed on my back and hugged me tightly; I nuzzled against her face and mane. “Ah missed ya,” I said quietly, she blushed slightly.
“Awe Red, I missed you too,” she said, wrapping her wings around my neck. I didn’t notice Applejack smiling at us.
“Big Mac, I never told you how gosh darn cute you and Rainbow Dash are” she said. I blushed slightly; I looked at Dashie she had a slight pink blush on her face. Whenever she blushed it was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
“Thanks AJ, that means a lot ta me” Dashie said smiling. I gave my younger sister a nod and a big grin, she shook her head, letting out a chuckle and walked away. I felt Rainbow Dash let me go and looked up to see her pulling out broken branches and rotten apples. She didn’t know it, but I was so proud of her for helping me, maybe I’ll let her know before she leaves.

I smiled to myself as I finished tending the trees; Big Mac was beaming at me. I fluttered down and landed on his back again, I sat there as he walked over to the shed. I jumped off his back and sat there for a moment, I watched as he dumped the broken branches into the scrap wood pile. He sighed and sat in front of me, he leaned his forehead against mine. He let out a sigh, he looked at me. He seemed like he wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to word it, I started to get worried. I was hoping I did well in helping on the farm, I hope I didn’t do something wrong. My mind started rushing in thought; I was starting to get anxious. I hate when I do this to myself I always think the worst.
“Ah'm not sure how ta ask ya this, but Ah have somethin' ta show ya, Ah want ta show ya tomorrow. It’s a really special place that only AppleJack n Ah know, n Ah want ta share it with ya” he said quietly. I relaxed a little; I smiled at him and kissed him gently.
“Mac I’d be honored to come to this special spot with you tomorrow,” I said, nuzzling against his chest, I felt him nodding his head. Granny Smith came out and yelled at Big Mac.
“Big Mac it’s time for Dinner” she smiled. I let out a soft laugh and hugged Big Mac with my wings and flew high into the sky, I looked behind me and Big Mac was watching me fly away. I think tomorrow I’m going to stay for dinner. I made it to my cloud house and made myself some egg drop soup and garlic toast, I smiled to myself as I ate my dinner. After dinner I brushed my teeth and snuggled into my soft bed, my room was illuminated by the soft light of Luna’s full moon. I slowly started to close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
