It's another great day in Ponyville as everyone is outside taking advantage of the perfect weather this Monday, not a cloud in the sky to block the rays of the sun,except for one cloud floating through the sky with a certain rainbow maned mare resting upon it. Rainbow Dash had finished her job to clear the sky two hours ago and is now using the good weather for a good nap.

"Hey Rainbow Dash!" That is until someone called up for her, giving an annoyed groan Rainbow Dash looked down to see who was interrupting her precious nap, she saw an orange earth pony mare with a stetson hat and emerald eyes.

"Hey Applejack what's up,besides me of course." Applejack rolled her eyes at the multi colored mare's response with a smile.

"Ah was wondering if ya like to come with me to get some lunch, my treat." Rainbow Dash couldn't help but smile down on her ground bound friend, she kicks the cloud she was sleeping on as she flew down to join her country friend, the smile never leaving her face as she did.

"Sure I could go for a good hayburger,let's go!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly as she hovered ahead of Applejack as the two walked towards the cafe. After a ten minute walk or fly to the cafe they were imedieatly escorted to a table,it had been a slow day at the cafe which is fine for the two mares as they ordered their drinks and food.

"So Aj, between the crusaders who do you think will be a couple soon?" Rainbow Dash asked as they wait for their drinks and food.

"Beg ya pardon?"

"Scootaloo has a crush on somepony and I think it might be Applebloom or Sweetie Belle, what do you think?" Rainbow Dash said as she stares straight into the emerald green eyes that is Applejack, waiting to hear her friend's reply.

"Well that's kinda a tough one to ask,how do you even know she has a crush at all let along with her crusader friends." Asked Applejack with a puzzled expression.

"Because I'm her mom and I know if my daughter is crushing on some pony,and she looks the happiest when she's with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle." Rainbow Dash said in a slight whisper as if to not blurt a out a big secret.

"That's right ah forgot, you adopted Scootaloo when you where in Cloudsdale , and you were only twelve right?" Rainbow Dash nodded to her friend, the two didn't say anything more when the waiter brought them their food, Rainbow Dash got a hayburger and fries while Applejack got the seizure salad, and leave for other customes.

"Ah still can't believe ya trust me with that, not even Fluttershy knows about that." Applejack continued once no one else was close by to hear. Rainbow Dash had a slight blush on her cyan cheeks.

"Well just remember that was a sign of how much I cherish our friendship." Rainbow Dash said before taking a bite of her food,missing the small blush on Applejack's face. The two ate their food in silence until Applejack spoke.

"So who would you date if you were in Scoots spot?"

"What do you mean?" Rainbow Dash asked with her head tilted.

"OK think of it like this,you me and Rares spend as much time together as the crusaders do,who would ya choose me or Rarity?" This made Rainbow Dash blush as she was having difficulty looking at the mare in front of her as she stumbles with her words.

"W-well I'm not sure how to awnser that honestly." Applejack rolled her eyes to her friend's reply with a small smirk.

"Oh come now Dash ya don't have to worry about hurting my feelings,its Rarity isn't it? She was always the prettier than me."

"That's not true!" Rainbow Dash half-shouted, " I think your way more pretty than anyone I know because you work hard, always help others and you care so much about your family." Rainbow said with full seriousness in her voice and and eyes. Hearing her long time friend say such things about her brought a happy smile to Applejack's face.

"Do ya really mean that Rainbow Dash?" Rainbow nodded her head vigorously.

"Every word of it." She said despite the intense blush to her face and the nervous feeling inside of her. The two mares didn't say anything else and ate their lunch in silence as one of the two begun to have a feeling she didn't have before until now. When the two ponies finished eating Applejack kept her word and paid for both of them, they are now walking to Sweet Apple Acres.

"This was nice, it's been a while since we last hung out with out the others." Rainbow Dash said as she stops to strech her wings before hovering off the ground with Applejack stopping with her.

"Ya it has,well I have chores to do,maybe we can do this again latter?" Applejack asked with a tiny blush on her face for reasons she can't understand.

"Definitely,see ya latter." Rainbow Dash said before flying off to her cloud home with a rainbow trail following behind.

Why do ah feel so weird all of a sudden,is it because of Dash? Applejack ponders as she trots towards her home.

Maybe ah should talk to Twillight about it tommorow . she thought as she keeps on trotting.

"So I'll see you guys tommorow right?" Scootaloo asked looking at her two best friends.

"Wouldn't miss for anything!" Applebloom exclaimed in her southern accent similar to her older sibling,which to Scootaloo sounded kinda cute

"Same here!" Sweetie Belle added in making her voice crack slightly, also which Scootaloo found cute.

"Alright well get our cutie marks tomorrow for sure!" Scootaloo shouted with her friends doing the same, Scootaloo waved goodbye as she heads home on her scooter. Once she reached the cloud mansion she got off her scooter and climbed the cloud made stairs until she reached to the front door. As soon as she entered the house she closed the door and walked through the living room.

Once she was near the kitchen she saw a black pony like creature. It had a black chittin like skin and insect like wings,on its for head sat a crooked horn that looked sharp enough to be a dagger which was lit in a green aura, it also had a familiar rainbow mane.

"Hey mom!" Scootaloo greeted as she gave her adoptive mother an affectionate hug, Rainbow Dash returned the hug as looks at her daughter with red eyes and cat pupils.

"Hey squirt how was your day?" Rainbow inquired,her voice sounding a little distorted.

"Good,but we still didn't get our cutie marks though." Scootaloo said, disappointment laced in her voice, she felt her mother nuzzle the top of her head lovely.

"It'll come when you least expect it, dinner will be ready soon so go ahead and wash up." Rainbow said making Scootaloo look frightened like she heard a really scary story,when Rainbow took notice of this she just rolled her eyes.

"It's been ordered." Scootaloo wiped her forehead in relief.
"Whew, I thought you meant you cooked,that scared me half to death." She said jokingly.

"Oh now you asked for it come here!" Raibow pounced towards the younger fily only for her to cover and ran off, Rainbow gave chase with both of them giggling.

This is the life and secret that both ponies kept between themselves, a pony being raised by a changeling. But for how long can these two hold this secret before it comes out to their friends, and what will they do if it does?

Author's Note

Finally back on the story making business woohoo! And to celebrate I give you this new story of mine.

The pairing is probably obvious but I hope to improve the romance part of it,also I'm not very good with the Apple family accent so bare with me on that.

The sex and gore tag are just in case as well as the dark tag
