Chapters Chapter 1: Setting Sights
Chapter 1: Setting Sights
A few days after the Friendship Games and the introduction of both Twilight Sparkles, the rest of our heroes discuss their plans for the weekend. Rainbow Dash is the first one up so now everybody else is listening.
"Alright girls, I'm going to write more awesome songs for our band," said Rainbow Dash excitedly. "You're all going to love them, I promise!"
"Well, hopefully they're not absurd like your other ones," Rarity pointed out.
"Don't worry, I won't let any of you down," Rainbow Dash replied. "See you later!"
As Rainbow Dash goes home, Applejack is the next to tell her plans. But instead, she has something else in mind. Tired and all from school, she starts commenting randomly.
"She sure is one heck of a good friend, isn't she girls," asked Applejack. "I wish I could I make up for the lost time during Sunset Shimmer's reign of terror. Ehh, no offense!"
Sunset Shimmer sighs out, "None taken...again. I'm still getting used to that," she laughed out. "So what does this mean for you?"
"Aww shucks! I don't think I know," A.J. cried out. "Maybe I might just go talk to Rainbow Dash."
"Ooooh," Rarity shouted. "Do you know what this means? I think Applejack is crushing on her."
"Mmm-hmm," as Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie agreed.
"Now y'all wait a minute here," A.J. replied. "I only love Rainbow Dash as a best friend, nothing more! I just...feel really bad for what happened long ago."
"We know you feel bad, but come on, Applejack," said Rarity. "You look like you've been afflicted with love, based on your facial expressions!"
"...Okay, you win," admitted Applejack. "I guess Rainbow got on my soft side now. You girls promise not to tell her about my feelings?"
"Mmm-hmm," said the rest of the Main Six.
"Thanks y'all! I'm going home because I'm darn exhausted. I'll see y'all later!"
"Bye, A.J.!" replied her friends.
"Umm...Sunset Shimmer, what're you thinking of right now?" asked Fluttershy.
"Oh nothing," she replied. "I'm still laughing at how there's two Twilights! Hopefully, Principal Celestia doesn't faint."
"That is still crraazzy!" Pinkie Pie added on.
"I know," Sunset laughably said. "Well what are the rest of you going to do later?"
"Another slumber party, anyone?" asked Pinkie.
"Sure," everyone else replied.
"Let's goooooo!"
As it began to turn nighttime, Applejack finally reached her house. Before she had to sleep, she needed to eat. Her other family members also shared what they've done the current day.
"Your big brother and little sister really did a darn good job with the business today," said Granny Smith. "Right, kids?"
"Eeyup," Big Macintosh and Apple Bloom responded.
"We sure brought those apples like they were nothing!" exclaimed Apple Bloom.
"I'm very proud of y'all!" Applejack let out.
"Is something wrong, sis? You don't look well."
"No I'm fine, sugarcube, thanks," A.J. sighed. "I'm...just tired, that's it."
"Eeyup," randomly said Big Mac. "Ya sure look like you took a beating and that ain't good."
"Look y'all, I'm fine. I think it's time we all get some shut eye, right?"
"Right!" said the Apple family.
The Apple family went up to bed and waved to each other "good night." Applejack looked outside her bedroom window, wondering what she will do from now on about...her feelings.
"Rainbow Dash... I missed you so much when we were younger. How can I make up it you? I...l... I'm going to bed now."
Speaking of her best friend, she's struggling as well.
"This...is definitely harder than I thought. I got the idea, but I don't know what's holding me back. Is it my friends? No, they would never get in the way of my music or me, in general. Why is my heart beating faster now? Unless...it's who I think it is, I don't know. But she really means a lot to me and I wouldn't get mad at her! ...A.J..."
Rainbow Dash falls asleep on her desk, unable to finish her songwriting. The next day awaits for these powerhouse girls.
Chapter 2: Assistance
As the morning sun rises, Pinkie Pie and the rest of the her friends wake up from a very fun slumber party. After taking turns in the bathroom and dressing up, they all head downstairs to eat breakfast. Each one put a smile on their faces after a fun night.
"Did anybody else enjoy themselves yesterday because I quite did!" exclaimed Rarity.
"Mmm-hmm!" said the rest.
"I can't wait to see Sweetie Belle again, even though it has only been one night! Plus, I've got more orders to prepare."
"Aww!" said Fluttershy. "I also can't wait to see my cute animals and I know how much they miss me!"
"All of that sounds so sweet, but you know what else does?" asked Pinkie.
"I think I know what it is," said Sunset Shimmer. "Is it what's between Rainbow Dash and Applejack?"
"Tsk, nooo! Just kidding, but you're right, girl."
"I just hope that Applejack is feeling better," Rarity replied. "You all know what would happen if she doesn't sleep and I don't even want to see it!"
"Right..." Sunset confusingly added. "Anyways, imagine if Princess Twilight knew about this. She might happen to know a lot of love spells. But, let's...rather not interrupt her in her line of Equestrian duties, though it was really nice of you to give her a phone so that she can stay in contact with us, Rarity!"
"I know, but her friends in Equestria would probably be confused with why there's something so advanced as that over there," Rarity replied. "Twilight might even find a way to obtain service!"
"You want to try?" asked Pinkie Pie. This could be very exciting!"
"Sure, why not?" Sunset answered. "I still find it funny that we gave better technology to Equestria, but it was worth the effort of reaching our best friend!"
Everyone took a moment of silence as Rarity took out her cellphone and attempted to call Twilight. Surprisingly, she picked up, but she's now holding her phone wrong. Rarity puts hers on speaker and everyone else gets ready to talk. Twilight is still struggling to push a single button, but finally managed.
"Gah!" said Princess Twilight. "Is this thing working? Hello?"
"Twilight!" shouted her Canterlot High friends.
"Ahh, there we go! Hi girls, what's up?"
"We miss you, Twilight," said Fluttershy. "We're really hoping you could come back because we've got something important!"
"I miss all of you girls, too!"
"Umm...we're...right here, Twilight, hehe!" randomly laughed their pony counterparts.
"Hah, I was talking to my Canterlot High friends, sorry! You may carry on. So what important thing is it do you want to tell me?"
"Basically, Applejack suddenly now has feelings for Rainbow Dash, and Rainbow doesn't realize it," Rarity elaborated. "Hmm, how do I put this? We're telling you this and thought that you might be able to help them come together. Can you please help us?"
"Of course I like to!" said Twilight. "But...can you all excuse me for a bit? My brother just came in and he needs me. I'll swing by the portal later! Bye girls!"
"Bye Twilight!" as the phones hang up.
"Now what we're going to do?" asked Fluttershy. "Our other Twilight is still in bed and we have no one else to help us."
"It's alright, Fluttershy," said Sunset Shimmer. "Besides, Applejack needs us to keep quiet, so for now, let's just see how she can do on her own."
"Yeah, I agree," Rarity added. "I wonder what Rainbow Dash is up to right now."
"She probably rocked herself out last night, huh?" asked Pinkie Pie.
As a matter of fact, Pinkie was right about Rainbow Dash's current state. Right now, she wakes up with no clue as to what became of her yesterday. Luckily, she didn't fall back asleep.
"...W-what happened? Ah, who cares? I gotta go meet my friends in the city, so now I have to hurry. Later, I might even get a chance... I just hope nobody else will make fun of my awesomeness after...everything. "
Our girls did mention hanging out the day before. But this opportunity might make things more
"Good morning, Spike!" said Sci-Twi.
"Morning, Twilight!" replied Spike. "What do you want to do?"
"Let's see what our friends are doing right now. I bet they already started having fun!"
"That's a good idea," said Spike. "When we meet them, would you mind...introducing me to that girl Rarity? She's beautiful!"
"Hahaha!" laughed Twilight. "One day I might do that! But anyway, we must go meet our friends. They texted me at one point yesterday, so we better get going."
Sci-Twi and Spike get ready to leave, but hear a knocking on the front door as they approach it.
"I wonder who that could be?" Spike curiously asked.
Twilight opens the door and gets an unexpected visit from a friend.
"R-Rainbow Dash?" she confusingly figured out.
Chapter 3: Enlightenment
To her surprise, Rainbow Dash showed up at Sci-Twi's house. She was really happy to see her, but again, had no idea why she did come. Nonetheless, this could either be good or serious for these friends.
"What's up Twilight?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Can we...talk for a bit about something important? Oh by the way, hey Spike!"
Chapter 4: Catching Up
Rainbow Dash was left speechless and couldn't even process a word. "I...just...but...what?" Applejack finally stopped crying and had to explain herself.
Chapter 5: A Princess and Five Shadowbolts
It was still the middle of the night and Scootaloo was still over at Rainbow Dash's house. She was starting to feel worried that something might've happened to her, so she went upstairs to her bedroom and the door was already open. "Oh Rainbow Dash! You're starting to sleep without me?" She yawned. "I guess...it's time for me to sleep too." She hugged her like a real sister and began to sleep by her side. "Ah, good night..."
Chapter 6: The Final Decision
Rainbow Dash was at the nail salon with Sci-Twi, Fluttershy, and Rarity. Even though it's not really the place that she goes to, she does enjoy both spending time with her friends and cozying up a bit. Everything was going fine, until she got alarmed by Rarity.
Chapter 7: True Loyalty and Honesty
Chapter 7: True Loyalty and Honesty
Applejack didn't know what to say. She took off her hat to cover up the fact that she was about to cry again, but struggled to hold it in. "Wh-what do you...mean you're not ready? There's gotta be some explanation!"
The End
Epilogue
After Rainbow Dash and Applejack fell in love with each other, Princess Twilight returns home to Ponyville. But still in disbelief, she doesn't know that she actually succeeded. Before she could even explain herself, Princess Cadance and Shining Armor congratulate her, with Cadance being able to sense love from another world. Meanwhile, both lovers of the human world went to spread the big news to their friends, and they were happy, despite already seeing them come together. Rarity even brings up marriage already, but the rest would obviously wait on that. Rainbow Dash and A.J. did promise to marry each other one day, in private. The Shadowbolts were informed as well, but they already had confidence in Rainbow. She kisses Applejack in front of her friends, which made them feel in awe. However, in Equestria, things were different for their Equestrian counterparts.
