A Zappy Day

Rainbow Dash was eagerly waiting in a three mile long line to try the Apple Family's new product- Zap Apple Cider. She had gotten here before all of her friends and was first in line to taste the rainbow colored cider.

"Ah believe we're open!" a distinct southern female voice said as she walked up to the stand.

"Howdy Rainbow!" she said smiling "Never got yer cider first but got yer Zap Apple first huh?" she continued.

"Yep!" she said eyeing the mugs. Applejack laughed and gave her three mugs of the Rainbow colored treat.

Big Mac was working the field picking all of the others. The cider was only a barrel because it was only one tree.

She sipped the rainbow colored liquid and instantly, her eyes went wide. She drank it all extremely quickly and took off towards the Apple Family Farm-

Right when she got there- the sound barrier burst destroying all the zap apples and getting a very irritated glare from the orange earth pony.

"Hehe... Whoops!"

"WHAT!?" Rainbow Dash said in shock

"Ah said ya'll are gonna help round here till ya pay us back! BTW it’s 5000 bits." Applejack said rolling her eyes.

"WHAT?!?! IM NOT PAYING YOU 5,000 BITS!!!" Rainbow Dash screeched, taking off into the air angrily.

‘Stupid AJ... With that super cu- NO! SHE WANTS ME TO PAY 5,000 BITS! IM NOT A BUCKING BANK!’ She thought to herself, flying through the air.

Applejack just rolled her eyes and grabbed her lasso. She twirled it around with her tail and shot it towards her rainbow friend.

‘She's so stupid! I have wi-’ Rainbow Dash thought until she felt herself being pulled to the ground.

"Owwww... WHAT THE BUCK?!" she started angrily.

"Ok. Help with the perimeter. NOW!" AJ growled receiving a Fluttershy-like meep from her friend.

"Yes sir, uh mam," Rainbow Dash giggled smiling.

Dash has a crush on Applejack. Ever since they first met, there was just something she loved about her.

"Come on, sugarcube," Applejack smiled kindly at her friend.

"Hey! What's orange, honest and loves apples?" Rainbow Dash asked as she stood in front of her secret crush.

"Ah don’t know. Pinkie Pie?" Applejack responded giggling.

"You!" Rainbow Dash answered bopping her on the nose and running off. Starting a race around the perimeter

AJ also loves Dash, but thinks Fluttershy is who Dash has a crush on.

As Applejack ran she began to think. She's in love with Fluttershy..... I'm an ordinary earth pony who just bucks apples. I-I love her but.... Oh Sweet Celestia I'm confused!

Rainbow was so engrossed in the race she didn't see the upcoming pond.

"Uh…Rainbow?!" Applejack said worried.

"What AJ?" She responded looking back

"POND!" Applejack yelled

"WHAT?!" Rainbow Dash started to stop, but was too late.
SPLASH!
A very annoyed Rainbow Dash sat up and glared playfully at her friend who was laughing up a storm.

"It's funny huh AJ?" she said swimming over. Applejack just laughed.

"Y-yeah it is Sugarcube." she managed to gasp between giggles.

"So this is funny?" Rainbow responded grabbing the earth pony and pulling her in.

"Hey!" Applejack responded her hat soaking over her eyes. She threw her hat onto the bank and tackled her friend.

"Oh. It. Is. ON!" Rainbow screamed and splashed her friend.

The two soaked mares waddled onto the bank and collapsed in a fit of giggles. Applejack looked up and saw Luna's glorious night staring back.

"Ain’t it beautiful, Sugarcube?" she asked her friend.

"Yeah.... Mind getting the rope off? It's really itchy." Rainbow asked

"Oh! Ah forgot just give me a sec," Applejack responded pulling the rope off.

Once the rope was off Rainbow shook her mane and it caught the moonlight earning a gasp from her friend.

"What?" she asked

"Errr... Nothin' nothin'.." Applejack responded blushing.

"Ok..." Rainbow said suspicious.

‘Ah gotta be more careful around her! I might blow my cover!’ Applejack mentally scolded herself.

"Hey, AJ. Let's *yawn* get back to the house. I'm bushed." Rainbow Dash said stretching her wings.

"Huh…oh yeah. I’m beat too." she said faking a yawn.

They started walking back to the house sleepy eyed and hungry.

"Uh... The stars are beautiful tonight huh AJ." Rainbow said trying to break the silence.

"Yeah....." Applejack breathed "But not as beautiful as you..." she whispered

"What was that?" Rainbow Dash asked hearing a mumble.

"Uh…Ah said not as beautiful as that moon," she responded.

"Ok...... Look here we are...." Rainbow Dash said opening the door for her friend. AJ wiped her forehead in relief as she followed her friend inside.

"Ok, we got apple tarts for dinner and apple pie for dessert." Applejack said quietly looking in the fridge. The others were all asleep so they had missed dinner but that was ok with Applejack- she got more alone time with her favorite mare.

"Ok! So let's eat I'm starving!" Rainbow Dash said licking her lips.

"Ok miss beauty!" she said mockingly

"Haha." Rainbow Dash said sarcastically rolling her eyes.

"Come on, it's ready." Applejack said balancing a plate on her head on one on her hoof.

"Nice AJ, but I could do better." Rainbow Dash said smiling competitively.

"Ok, sugarcube, but let’s do that tomorrow," Applejack said smiling putting the plates on the table.

"Yummy!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she bit down on the apple tart.

They two mares quickly ate the food and walked upstairs.

"Umm…AJ… This is your room,” Rainbow said earning a blush from her friend.

"Oh... Ah forgot we’re using all our rooms... Yah don't mind do ya?" Applejack asked awkwardly.

"Err…no. No I don't. Rainbow Dash responded blushing.

"Phew... Man big brother doesn't trust ya going back to ya house sorry." Applejack said relieved

"Ok... Goodnight AJ!" Rainbow said snuggling up in the covers as Applejack put her hat up and jumped in bed.

After an hour the two were still awake.

"What was that AJ?" Rainbow Dash asked hearing a mumble.

"Err...Nothing. Nothing at all" she said her eyes shifting side-to-side.

"You’re a terrible liar AJ." Rainbow sighed. "Now what is it?"

"Ah can't tell you!" Applejack responded in a half yell.

"Yes you can! I'll tell you something that nopony will ever know!" Rainbow Dash responded worriedly.

"Ah said NO!" Applejack yelled angrily.

"WHY NOT?!" Rainbow Dash responded angrily.

"IT'S NONE OF YA BUSINESS!" She yelled.

"I HEARD MY NAME SO TELL ME WHAT YOU SAID!" Rainbow Dash yelled

"AH SAID AH LOVE YA!!!!"

A corrupted gem TEASER!

A corrupted gem TEASER!

Rainbows eyes widened as she heard this. "W-what?" she whispered unable to think.

"Ah- Ah'm sorry... You can go sleep on the couch now..." Applejack said dejectedly.

"Why would I do that?" Rainbow Dash asked a small smile on her lips

"Because yah must ha-" Applejack started but was cut off by a pair of lips on hers.

Rainbow smiled as her lover returned the kiss. When they pulled away Applejack had tears in her eyes.

"Who said I didn't love you?" Rainbow Dash said fighting to keep her own tears back.

"No one sugarcube no one." Applejack smiled laying down her head.

Rainbow just smiled as she hugged her friend and they slipped into a blissful, happy sleep together.

The next morning the mares were awoken abruptly by a loud knock.

"Am comin Am comin." Applejack said groggily getting out of bed looking at the Pegasus.

"Mornin AJ." the rainbow maned mare yawn shaking her head.

Applejack walked to the front door and saw a white coated unicorn with flowers.

"Hi Applejack......" Rairity said shakily before giving her the flowers.

"What are these fah sugarcube?" Applejack asked looking down

"Uhh...." Rairity started before taking off.

"Ok...." Applejack said confused

A note fell out of the flowers and Applejack picked it up

"For the sweetest country pony that I love- Love Rarity."

"Oh no."

Rairity stopped after a little while of running. She started to turn around when she heard hoofsteps

"R-Rarity! S-Stop!" a country voice yelled.

The hoofsteps turned into an orange earth pony running towards her.

"Applejack!" she said trying to hide her excitement.

"Ah-Ah read the letter-" Applejack started but was cutoff by a hug from Rarity.

"I love you to Applejack,I love you to." She sobbed happily.

"Am sorry... Ah just don't feel the same way..." Applejack said sadly

"Wh-what?" Rarity said tears brimming

"Am sorry.." Applejack said turning away.

Rarity's eyes narrowed as she raced away. ,

"She will love me.."

As Applejack walked back a pair of blue eyes watched her- unknown.
