A knock on the front door made Twilight's ears perk up and swivel towards it, her attention on 'The Essentials of Equine Courting' interrupted by that rap upon wood. Eagerly, Twilight got up and headed out to the foyer, her hoof-steps lightly echoing in the large-chambered room. Usually she would have let Spike answer the door while she continued reading, but she had invited Applejack to come over and hang out today, and as such, wanted to answer the door herself since it was likely her.

"I've got it Spike!" Twilight called out, before moments later reaching the door, looking back to see the little purple dragon head back to his room with his Actionhoof comic book still in claw. Gripping the handle in her magic, she opened the door to see the orange-coated mare that she was proud to call her filly-friend. "Hi Applejack!"

Applejack stood on the threshold, looking up at the grand majesty of the huge, shining building that was the Castle of Friendship – and Twilight's home. "Ah ain't never gonna get used t' this, Ah swear..." she said after putting down the mid-sized basket held in her muzzle, before then looking down and meeting Twilight's eyes. "'ey there, shug." Her tone was friendly as always, but had another quality to it now; a subtle adoration that made Twilight feel weak in the knees.

Twilight smiled, waving a hoof inside, to which Applejack went to pick up the basket, Twilight just noticing it. "So, what'd ya bring this time?" Twilight asked with a hint of mirth. Every time she went over to visit Applejack announced, or Applejack came over to visit her after they'd started dating, or went over there to get her and take her for a date, she always brought some goodie she or her Granny Smith made; whether it be cookies, muffins, or even tarts a few times.

"Well, Ah guess y'all will jus' have t' wait an' see." Applejack said with a smirk, before then grabbing up the basket and stepping inside, heading towards the reading room that doubled as Twilight's bedroom...or it may as well with as much time as she spent there!

Twilight hated the suspense when Applejack teased her, not telling her what she'd brought, and instead leaving her guessing until they'd reached her room. Thankfully for Twilight, it was only a short trot and wait. As they arrived, Applejack set down the basket and nodded towards it, giving Twilight permission to look inside.

Almost too eagerly, Twilight nearly tore the basket asunder in her over-eagerness, her magic very quickly parting the fabric of mystery to reveal...apple-walnut cookies! As if to reward her own patience, Twilight quickly grabbed up one of the cookies in her hooves and, after getting an affirming nod and a small chuckle from Applejack, sunk her teeth into it.

"Sweets fer mah Shug." Applejack cooed as Twilight bit into the cookie, saying the same thing every time she presented a treat for her marefriend, with the latter quickly finding there were indeed raisins in them too!

"Ho my goff! Ees ave rashons foo?!" Twilight exclaimed through a mouthful of cookie, the mixture of spices—was that nutmeg? Cinnamon?—and fruit quite the taste parade for her senses.

"Eeyup. Ah know ya like yer raisins, so Ah tossed em in jus' fer you." Applejack said, grabbing one of the cookies herself and taking a bite. Together they ate cookies in silence, having a number each, before they finally started talking.

"So, how have you been?"

"Fahn," Applejack replied, before noticing the upturned book on Twilight's bed, reading the title. "'Th' Essentials a Equine Courtin'', huh? Applejack asked, giving Twilight, whom currently had a whole cookie stuffed in her mouth, a smirk, "Ah thought y' said y' weren't studyin' on datin' no more, an' y' were gonna play it by hoof?"

Caught, Twilight sighed. "Well, ya got me." Twilight said, holding her hooves up as if in surrender; "I give up. By Celestia, I'll never study on anything ever again!" she continued, a snort and smile then escaping her, the roll of her eyes only adding onto just how serious she wasn't.

"Y'know, there's a fee fer studyin' what y'ain't supposed to, right?" Applejack asked, getting a bit closer to Twilight, only a couple of feet away.

Noticing Applejack's proximity to her, Twilight turned and looked to her, her cheeks still slightly bulging with sugary baked doughy goodness, and quickly gulping down what she had in her mouth. Before she knew what had happened, she was once more pinned to the bed as her muzzle was sharply met with Applejack rubbing their muzzles together, before finally meeting her lips. A bolt of lightning went down Twilight's spine as she felt the slightly chapped lips on her own, feeling herself being so-gently pinned against the bed much the same way as she had been against the nook's bench during the first kiss they'd shared, her wings unfurling beside her as they kissed.

They continued kissing like that for a while, the soft, wet smacks of their lips and quiet moans and sounds of pleasure the only sounds in the room, the scent and taste of cookies and each other, the feel of soft fur or feathers on their hooves flooding their senses. Applejack suddenly felt as she was starting to be rolled over, but retaliated, pushing herself a little harder onto Twilight as well as gripping a bit tighter with all four hooves, only to suddenly find herself on her back beneath the smaller pony, a light tingle over her whole body.

"Consarn it Twi, quit cheatin' with yer magic!" Applejack said as she was once more being held down by her partner's spell, hearing the other giggling as she planted kisses all around her muzzle.

"Well you always start it, and I always finish it!" Twilight exclaimed, having unceremoniously flopped atop Applejack, her lighter body not having quite the same dominating effect she was trying for, but none-the-less proved her point. Applejack was well and truly pinned.

"Fahn, fahn, y' proved yer point. Lemme up now." Applejack said helplessly, being held down by a smirking alicorn and her magic and knowing she had no hope of escape outside of being let up.

"Say I won."

"Fahn, y'won. Now lemme up."

Having claimed her victory, Twilight released her telekinetic grasp on Applejack, the other mare getting up and shaking off, replacing her Stetson on her head. "Jeez Twi..." Applejack huffed, only to be met with the smirking face of her filly-friend, "...anyhow, y' wanna go do somethin', instead 'a' jus makin' out an' cheatin' in wrasslin' all day?"

Twilight simply, exaggeratedly, flopped on the bed akin to what their friend Rarity might do, squirming a bit to get comfortable. "Nope, today's my day off. I've got nothing to do but lay around, read and hang out with you."

"Oh boy. Ah'm jus' prancin' in mah horseshoes in anticipation. Oh mah, watchin' y' readin' a dusty ol' book all day!" Applejack said in a playful sarcasm, getting off the bed and heading to the door, "Y' at least wanna watch a movie or somethin' instead?"

Twilight huffed again, getting into an upright laying position. "My books are not dusty thank you very much. I keep my library very well dusted, and..." Twilight stopped as she heard Applejack snickering, before giving that tangent up with a sigh. "Fine, I'll watch a stinking movie with you."

Twilight reluctantly got off the bed and together they walked to the den. The walls there covered in pictures of Applejack, Twilight, and all of their other friends together and doing various activities; from visiting the park and having a picnic, to being together at Cadence's wedding, to hanging out at Donut Joe's in Canterlot after the Grand Galloping Gala.

As they settled on the couch, Twilight grabbed the remote, turning it on and putting a movie on. After the epic magic fights, which must have taken a lot of choreography to avoid ponies getting hurt, came a romance scene between the main character, an overly-buff Pegusus stallion, and a smaller Unicorn mare. It started out innocently enough; the two simply kissing and the mare rubbing on the stallion's wings as they embraced in thanks for him saving her from Prince Blackheart, a clear spoof of the real King Sombra, before it quickly escalated, the two ponies starting to grind on each other as they ended up on the bed.

Applejack was beet-red at this point, as was Twilight, but neither could look away as it escalated even more, with the stallion climbing atop the mare as she lay on her back, moaning that she was in heat and begging him to 'put your foal in me', their tails hiked aside, and the camera oh-so-conveniently focused behind them and between their legs as he lined himself up, pressed his hips forwards, and—

The TV turned off, and both mares were now silently staring at the black screen, Twilight blushing especially deeply as she realized she'd unintentionally put on a semi-pornographic movie for them to watch!

"Well, uh, that was...interestin'," Applejack said, realizing how hot and bothered the scene had made her, closing her legs to visibly hide her arousal, but knowing Twilight could likely smell it, just as she could smell her marefriend's own aroused scent.

"Yes *ahem*, yes it was." Twilight stammered out, glancing at the Hooflicks title screen of the movie and realizing it was rated Mature with violent and graphic sexual content. "Sorry about that Applejack, I didn't even realize the rating..."

Applejack smirked at Twilight. "Ah didn't think ya were that kinda mare...bringin' out that kinda 'entertainment' fer friends..." she teased lightly, making Twilight's face burn even hotter.

"I-It was an accident!" Twilight said as she struggled to defend herself, before hearing Applejack give a quiet chuckle.

"Don't worry, ain't nothin' Ah haven't seen on th' farm. We do have animal husbandry there after all, and boy do th' sheep get vocal an' loud when they're in rut and heat!" Applejack said, seeing Twilight's tension reduce as she saw Applejack was alright with her mistake, letting out a breath she didn't even know she was holding. "Us Apples ain't exactly prudes when it comes t' sex, despite popular belief." Was it just Twilight, or did Applejack wink at her after she said that?

"So, now what?"

"Iunno, we could go back t' yer room and 'read'." Applejack said, giving a suggestive look as she did, "er maybe we could watch a different movie?"

Twilight's stomach growled loudly, apparently bringing up a third option. She hadn't eaten a meal today, spending too much time reading it would seem, and apparently the multiple large cookies she'd eater earlier hadn't sated her. "Or maybe we could get something to eat?" Twilight asked, giving a sheepish smile.

Applejack sighed, a small smile on her muzzle as she did. "Don't ya ever eat b'fore Ah come and visit?" she asked with a chuckle, before heading towards the kitchen.

"Wait!" Twilight called out, trotting up to Applejack, "You're my guest and I'm supposed to cook for you, not the other way around!"

Applejack gave a gentle laugh, before giving Twilight a kiss on the muzzle. "It's alright shug, Ah can whip us up somethin' real fast. No offense, but yer not exactly th' most apt in th' kitchen, if ya know what Ah mean."

Twilight blushed a bit, pawing at the floor with a hoof; "C'mon, that was only the one time."

"Twi, ya nearly burnt down th' kitchen while boilin' water."

Twiilight winced, before stepping aside and letting Applejack pass."...Yeah, I know."

"Don't worry yer perdy, perdy li'l' head 'bout it. I'll be done in no time. Jus' go set down fer a spell."

Sure enough, within thirty minutes, Applejack had emerged from the kitchen with four veggie tostada, a side of Mexicolt-style rice on the side of each plate. She invited Twilight to come sit at her long, formal dining area, but instead was ushered to the much smaller, less formal dining table Twilight had set up in the next room for her own personal meals and her friends' when she invited them over.

They ate quietly for a while, before something that Twilight had been thinking about for a while, matter of fact since their first date, was finally voiced.

"Hey Applejack, you said you're not a prude about sex, right?

"Nah, Ah can't say Ah am."

"Then why did you say 'no' when I asked you at the hill?"

Applejack sighed, knowing this may come up and preparing for it. "Twi, it ain't that Ah didn't want t' make love with y', it's jus'...well, you an' Ah were...well, you were drunk, an' Ah didn't know if y' were truly ready fer that with me," she explained, before giving Twilight a kiss on the head, pulling away and smiling softly; "Ah promise, whenever yer ready, Ah'll be ready too."

"I thought...I thought you didn't find me attractive or something..." Twilight said, a bit of hurt in her voice. Applejack quickly gave a shake of the head, as well as a kiss on the side her muzzle.

Applejack promptly put down her tostada and reached over to Twilight, lifting her chin with a hoof and having her look her in the eyes. "Twi, yer a very beautiful mare and Ah would be proud t' make love with ya, but Ah just couldn't then. Ah knew y' weren't yerself, an' Ah didn't wanna chance takin' advantage of ya like that."

Twilight smiled, then meeting her lips to Applejack's, giving her a soft kiss and holding it for a while before returning to her meal. "I understand AJ. Thanks for caring about me."

"No prob' Sugar." Applejack said, about to take another bite before hearing one last thing from Twilight;

"I'm...I'm not drunk now. Would...would you be willing to have sex now?"

Applejack's tostada hit the plate with a clank. She looked over to Twilight, only to see a worried expression on her face in reaction to how Applejack had reacted to her question.

"S-Sorry! I shouldn't have asked!

"Nah Twi, it's alright. Y' have every right t' ask. Ah mean, Ah'd usually say no iffin it were anypony else askin' fer this so soon, but...well, we've known each other fer, hay, years now. It feels like we've been datin' fer that long anyhow it seems..."

Twilight remained silent for a while more, seemingly considering that concept. "Yeah, you're right." Twilight said, her tone expressing realization of it as truth.

"So Twi, Ah will now accept what y' offered my on th' hill. Ah...Ah accept your offer t'...make love with me. But first, let's finish eatin'."

~

"S-so y' use a ...dildo, huh Twi?" Applejack asked, giving a nervous chuckle, not entirely sure WHAT to say as they now lay together on Twilight's extremely soft bed, anticipating what was soon to come.

"Well, yes I do use a dildo in and out of my heats, and not the small one I used as a filly..." Twilight answered with a blush, before considering Applejack's nervousness over the subject. "Applejack, why don't you take your own advice?" Twilight asked, giving a comforting smile; "Just think about this. Does this feel right to you? I mean if it doesn't, we don't have to go any further until you're really ready. Do you trust me?"

As Applejack looked down to Twilight's hoof on her own, with her apparently having subconsciously grasped it, and tightened her grip on it a bit. "Yeah Twi, Ah trust ya with mah life, an' Ah gotta say this does feel right t' me. Ah've been yer friend for many years now, an' Ah know y' wouldn't make me do nothin' Ah wouldn't want to." Applejack said, already having agreed to the idea...before suddenly drawing a blank. "So, uh, what exactly do we do now?" Applejack asked. She knew how this sort of thing worked between stallions and mares, but hadn't even considered before agreeing that she had no idea how mares 'coupled'.

"Well, I don't really know much myself, but I did read this one romance book with two mares for some more...unconventional research in dating a mare. One of Rarity's...but anyways first, they started kissing, then one used a hoof on the other...and then, after, they...used their muzzles and tongues to engage in 'cunnilingus' simultaneously with their muzzles between each others legs."

"Cunni-what-now?"

"Cunnilingus. It's like...using your mouth to please a female's Mons pubis and vaginal opening."

"Twi, speak normal please."

"It's when a pony licks a mare's...well, between her legs."

"Ah. 'At makes sense. Weird soundin', but makes sense Ah guess..."

"Alright great..." Twilight said, softly clopping her hooves together in the same manner as many ponies would paw at the ground, showing her own nerves on the prospect. Deciding to set the mood, or at least try to, Twilight closed the curtains so only a sliver of light got in and lit a few candles she'd brought up with them, before then going to Applejack and meeting her muzzle to hers, kissing her softly as Applejack reclined onto the bed, letting Twilight overtake her this time.

They continued kissing more for a while, getting only a bit rougher, before Twilight broke it and spoke again. "So, do you still want to...?"

"Eeyup."

"I love you."

"Ah love ya too. Le's do this, Ah guess."

Applejack squirmed a bit as Twilight laid down next to her, and as she did Applejack gently held her hoof with her own. She then started guiding her hoof down her body: starting at her muscular neck, then down her chest, her lean belly, and toned stifle, which she eagerly lifted now, leaving Twilight's hoof resting on her small teats. Twilight could feel her nipples under the fur hardened in her arousal, and took the opportunity to give them a soft rub.

Applejack squeezed a bit tighter on Twilight's cannon with her hoof, new sensations rolling through her at the feeling of another touching her like this, finding herself helping to guide the rubs now. After a few moments of rubbing her teats, she guided Twilight's hooves lower, before letting go and leaving it on her pelvis, leaving it just short of her now-moistened marehood. Twilight just stayed still, looking at her hoof on the mare's pelvis, reeling from the fact that this was actually happening.

"It's OK Twi. Ah want this too."

That snapping her out of her trance, and taking a deep breath, Twilight lowered her hoof, feeling warm, lightly-swollen, slippery flesh under her hoof. It felt much like any other part of Applejack just warmer, smoother, and much more slippery, and much like between her own legs.

Applejack bucked her hips up on reflex as Twilight's hoof rubbed over her clitoral hood on the way down, letting out a quiet gasp at the feeling it caused, her clit winking on reflex to the stimulation. This felt much like when she used her own hoof to temporarily stop her heat's burning, but much better for some reason. Even at that first intimate touch she'd ever gotten from another, Applejack knew she wanted more. "Twi, y' can keep goin..." Applejack said encouragingly, finding she indeed rather loved the feeling of her mare-friend rubbing her there.

Getting a positive reaction, Twilight nodded and continued to slowly rub Applejack's snatch, the farm mare closing her eyes as her head lulled back, letting her hips softly grind her slit against the hoof pleasing her. This felt way better than she'd thought it would, her pleasure coasting along and her body leaving Twilight's hoof quite moist in the process.

"Wow, you're really liking this, aren't you Applejack?" Twilight asked as she continued to slowly rub for a while, not oblivious to just how wet her hoof was getting, with each rub making her hoof grow more soaked with earth-pony nectar. Applejack didn't respond, in another world it would seem, leaving her body to slowly rock on instinct against what was pleasing her, and each rub over her clit making her squirm slightly.

"Oh Twi...Ah wish we'd done this when you first asked..." Applejack said in a wispy tone Twilight had never heard from her, encouraging her to keep rubbing more and a bit harder, and getting more pleasured sounds from her mare and long-time friend.

After a few more minutes, when Twilight curved her hoof upward and started focusing more and more often on that little pleasure nub and making it wink frequently now, Applejack felt a tightness welling up in her belly; a tightness she knew all too well. "T-Twi...Ahm gettin'...Ahm gonna finish soon..." Applejack warned, only to feel the rubbing increase even more, her stifles closing on the hoof between them, letting her rub herself more aggressively on the now-trapped limb.

"It's OK, AJ. Just let it out."

Suddenly, after a few more grinds, stars danced before Applejack's eyes as a wave of euphoria overtook her, a quiet 'mmmmph' escaping her muzzle as her grinds became more forceful, her back arching forward and her powerful back legs gripping Twilight's foreleg tightly enough to make it almost go completely numb. Twilight meanwhile felt her hoof get much more wet now as her mare-friend clearly came to her, feeling the warm release spreading as Applejack had started grinding along the whole lower portion of her leg now, her snatch winking against her, her clit rubbing against her now-slick fur with each and sending more ecstasy through the farm-mare.

Twilight met her muzzle with Applejack's and felt her push back against her kiss with force in her moment of climax, letting her lips be an anchor for the pure bliss Applejack was likely feeling, to keep her grounded in this world.

After a few precious seconds of pure ecstasy, Applejack fell limp as she was held against Twilight's warm body, shivering lightly as the last pangs of pleasure rolled through her, her stifles' grip on her hoof loosened now, if not by much. They simply lay there like that for a while, with Applejack recovering from her first orgasm in what felt like forever, and Twilight ever-so-gently rubbing over her mare-friend's now-very-wet flower as Applejack caught her breath, still kissing each other softly all the while.

After Twilight stopped rubbing her altogether and broke the kiss, Applejack went limp, not having felt this relaxed since she was a filly. She usually had somewhere to go, somepony to meet – but now she didn't have a care in the world, just floating on that little cloud Twilight had brought her to.

"Wow Twi, 'at was...real nice." Applejack said in a deeper tone, her eyes hooded as she looked up to the purple unicorn, "Y'want a turn? Ah ain't never done this fer another mare, but it's only fair."

Twilight was more than ready for something, having been using her magic to tend to herself while she rubbed Applejack, but not anywhere near satisfied. Twilight nodded as her hoof left the warm, supple lips, a string of off-white fem-cum connecting them briefly before finally snapping. "So...did you want to try that other thing I mentioned?"

"That cunni-whatsit's where we use our muzzles on each other, raight?"

"Yep, cunnilingus."

"Y' got it sugar. Lead the way."

Both then laid down, Twilight guiding them into the proper position as well as she could, with her muzzle ending up between Applejack's stifles, and Applejack's between Twilight's. "So what...we jus' start...like, licki—Aaah!" Applejack asked, only to give a muffled, surprised yelp when Twilight instantly pressed her muzzle against her still-sensitive sex, feeling a warm, slimy softness pushing just between her lower lips.

"Ooooh Twi, 'at feels...kinda weird..." Applejack said, but the way she eagerly pushed her hips forward, pushing Twilight's muzzle harder into her puffy slit, spoke volumes about how she felt about the more-intense tingles it was causing her. Deciding she couldn't be unfair, Applejack started to unsteadily lap at the wet slit before her muzzle, her first few licks teasing her outer lips, with her basically following Twilight's lead in what to do.

"Ah, that...that feels...really good, actually." Twilight commented in a muffled tone, shifting herself and opening her legs a bit more, making herself more accessible to her pleaser and giving a soft shudder at the sensations. It felt like her hoof, but much better, the warm muscle squirming against her lower lips while her other senses were assaulted by the flavor and scent of a very aroused mare quite the lovely sensation.

"You OK Applejack?" Twilight asked a few moments of soft licking later, noticing Applejack had gotten absolutely soaked in that time. A nod from the named mare. "Do you want me to attempt...penetration?" Another nod, more vigorous. With consent given, Twilight pushed against the lips of her lover and heard a sharp inhale as she easily slid between the very eager petals, Applejack giving a quick series of winks at the new sensation, letting the tongue deeper to feel the velvety sensation of her entrance. Applejack quickly followed suit, earning a moan as they moved on, both starting to properly eat each other out now.

Applejack was right; the tongue squirming inside her now did feel weird and slippery, but at the same time absolutely wonderful. Twilight couldn't help it as her vulva winked into the licks, pleasured sounds now streaming from both as they licked and suckled, both lost to each others' tongues now.

They kept on for what felt like forever, their bodies squirming against each other, hot breath and tongues setting the mares ablaze with pleasure, but it wasn't long after that before Applejack started trembling again, apparently getting closer to her second release; unsurprisingly since she was still very sensitive from her earlier orgasm.

She wanted Applejack to cum for her again before she reached her own orgasm, and so Twilight curved her tongue sharply upward as one of the mares had done in the book she'd read, remembering how the other mare had reacted in the story. As she did, she suddenly felt Applejack tense up, a very pleased moan coming from her as she suddenly came again. She started rocking her hips against the source of her pleasure as she did, releasing more of her thick mare-honey and squeezing down on the tongue now rubbing her G-spot, more intense pleasure than before rolling throughout her whole body.

Even through her orgasm however, Applejack determinedly continued lapping at Twilight's slit, wanting her mare-friend to feel the pleasure she'd had given to her twice already, targeting the small, heart-shaped nub at the top and suckling softly on it, knowing how much she liked to touch it when she pleasured herself. It wasn't long after she'd focused on licking and sucking that sensitive bulb before Twilight started to tremble much like she had, her stifles squeezing around Applejack's head tightly as she suddenly tensed up.

Twilight climaxed with a brief cry, her body quaking, her head back and eyes sealed as anything close to thought was overtaken by a white-hot wave of pleasure. Her hips rolled on instinct against Applejack's muzzle as intense tingles, way better than even her dildo could provide, shot through her, the feeling of something warm and wet and moving inside of her during her squeezes better than she could have ever imagined. Applejack left her tongue deep inside Twilight as she felt her squirm and writhe in her orgasm, letting her inner walls milk and squeeze against it before all too soon, she relaxed and released her head, spent completely.

Both simply lay there dazed, panting as their afterglows settled in, with Applejack crawling up next to her mate so they could lay together. Twilight in turn met her lips with Applejack as soon as she could, sharing a kiss as their flavors mixed together, tasting their own cum on each other. It wasn't as bad tasting as either thought it would be, indeed tasting kind of salty and fruity.

"That...that was amazing." Twilight stammered out, getting an agreeing nod from Applejack.

"Yer darn right it was. Ahm glad y' were mah first Twi..."

"I'm glad you were my first too."

Silence for a while, save for their quiet breaths and some shifting.

"Hey uh, Twi... ain't it kinda unfair that Ah got t' finish twice and y' didn't?" Applejack asked, then giving quite the suggestive look; "Should Ah remedy that?"

Twilight gave an equally lascivious look in return before nodding, Applejack squirming and going back behind her. Twilight spread her hind legs again as she lay on her back now, soon after giving a moan as Applejack sealed her lips on her marehood now, holding her hindquarters in either hoof as her tongue plunged deep once more.

"By Celestia, I love you Applejack..." Twilight cooed out, reaching down to rub Applejack's ears as she was pleased once more.

Best. Day off. Ever.
