Camp Friendship Goes to Tartarus

Applejack had the fondest memories of Camp friendship from back when she was just a filly. She had always remindered herself and Rara n ot to stay out past dark. The counselors were always strict in that regard. they didnt want anypony goind missing like they had previously have happen several times in the past. They had recounted the story of a colt that had drowned there some fifty years ago. The colts mother blamed the camp attendants at the time, and went on a rampage killing a number of them. She was finally dealt with, but out of caution the Counselors opted to restrict access to the lake to certain hours, and only during the day time hours of operation.

She was going to have so much fun though there now. AJ had planned on meeting her friends there, along with Rara, in order to catch up on all the recent going ons in their lives. Apparently Rara had something to tell her as well. 'Oh boy I cant wait', she thought to herself. The letters they had been exchanging lately had started to change in nature. They were getting a bit more personal. Maybe Rara felt the same way Applejack did. She had been let down before. She had thought that Rainbow Dash might of been harboring feelings for her, but it turned into the most embarrassing moment ever when she found out that it was Twilight that held Rainbow's interest instead. She had felt like such a fool telling Dash something like that.

Rainbow kept it among their friends luckily, she told AJ she was flattered she had an interest in her. That still didn't help the feeling AJ had of having her rebuttal crushed like that. There were times she felt like the whole town was judging her now because of it. Even if they didnt know, it still felt like somepony had told them. It gave her the most unsettling feeling at times. As she was deep in thought over this, she didn't notice the feel of a pegasus wing draping over her shoulder. She snapped out of it in time to look into the eyes of Rainbow Dash. Was she dreaming right now?

She got her answer as Dash pressed her lips against AJ's in the most passionate kiss ever. What brought this on she wondered? She decided to ask her pegasus friend what prompted this. Sh also knew that Twilight was deeply in love with Rainbow Dash, so when she pulled that stunt with the farm pony, that nearly shattered her trust in the mare. Rainbow Dash certainly didnt want to lose Twilight, but the speedster wasn't sure how to go about apologizing without getting a book or two thrown at her.

"Whatcha doin' Dash?", Dash could see the curiosity in her eyes as she asked her this.

"Twi and I had a fight,"she dead panned. A fight? Those two never really got into lovers quarrels that AJ knew of. What could of caused it? she thought to herself. She'd have her answer sooner then she thought, as Rainbow could see her pondering that very question. AJ always got a certain glean in her eyes when she was thinking about things.

"Apparently she found out about how you really feel about me from Rarity,", wow, she thought, of all the ponies to betray her trust it had to be Rarity. Most had assumed that Twi already knew about what had taken place. Somepony hadn't bothered to tell her at all. It didn't matter as of this moment though. AJ tipped her stetson down a bit as Dash pulled her close and nuzzled her shoulder. If it turned out that Rara just wanted to be friends, that was fine. She already had a fallback ready. Her and Dash kissed one more time as the sun began to set. In another day they'd be relaxing at the camp and enjoying one another's company.

Regardless of what their friends thought. There was something about Rainbow Dash that would make AJ melt inside. She understood why Twilight had fallen in love with the pegasus. It was those magenta eyes of hers. She could lose herself in those eyes every night and not care about anything, just as long as she woke up to those eyes staring back at her, piercing her soul in a way.

"Thank you Rainbow, Fer staying the night,", what else could Applejack say. Oh hey Dash , by the way I love you? That was something that she wanted to say, but felt like it was rushing it right now. She wanted to make sure that Dash understood that at some point. Neither of them, nor Twilight, had any idea of what was transpiring in the human world. They would soon.

"It's no problem AJ, the closer I am to you, the safer we both are," Dash paused,"at least till we have to deal with Twilight in the morning," as much as it pained the farm pony, Dash was right, they'd still have to deal with Twilight in the morning. She just hoped their alicorn friend wouldn't hold it against either of them what happened tonight or in the past. Twilight was known to have a vengeful streak to her. It took her quite a long time to forgive Discord for what he did when siding with Tirek. She wasn't the most stable pony at times.

It was quite the surprise though for the both of them that Twilight wasn't mad at either of them. She was more mad at herself for not realizing it was her fault the fight between them had started and had taken her a bit to come to that observation. She couldn't look Dash in the eyes right now, she felt too bad about what had happened. She didn't want to admit it, but she was ashamed of herself. Bickering like that was something that was completely not befitting of a Princess of Equestria, especially the Princess of Friendship. She told them to hurry before their train left without them. Both Dash and Applejack could tell she was taking it alot easier then it really was.

"You two gonna lag back there?", she asked half jokingly.

"No!",Dash exclaimed.
