03/14/18 6:22 PM - RD: Yo what up I hope you got some cider ‘cause I’m coming over and need a place to chill for a while. spring break, whooo!!!

Applejack sighed, then glanced up on the clock on her wall. Already past eight-thirty. At least she’d had bothered to send a text, rather than just showing up. It didn’t make any sense, though. Canterlot University didn’t have spring break until April. She’d confirmed that with Fluttershy a week ago. When the rest of Applejack’s friends went to college and she stayed behind, it made sense to stay aware of their breaks.

Thunder crashed outside, and Applejack made her way over the window to stare out into the pouring rain. If Rainbow Dash was driving, it made sense that she wasn’t responding to her texts. It was a several hour drive, after all.

“What do you think, Winona? I bet she’ll be pulling up that driveway any second now.”

Winona lifted her head up from her bed, wagged her tail once, yawned, then laid back down.

Applejack chuckled. “Yeah, that’s what I thought.” Waiting for Rainbow Dash like this had really ruined her own plans for the evening.

Not that she actually had any. The rest of the family was down south with Apple Bloom, on vacation for her spring break. After one more glance outside, Applejack made her into the kitchen, then pulled a bottle of cider out of the fridge. No sense in waiting any longer. She cracked the bottle open on the countertop, then took a nice, long drink. It never failed to hit the spot.

Someone pounded on the front door. Winona barked.

“Figures,” Applejack muttered. She took one more swig for good measure, then made her way back to the living room and opened the door.

“Sup,” Rainbow Dash said. She held her arms around her chest, and shivered uncontrollably. In general, she looked like a drowned puppy. “How you been?”

Applejack rolled her eyes, then peered out into the storm. She could see the sleek shine of a motorcycle parked next to the fence. “Lands sake, Dash, did you really ride your bike all the way here in this weather?

Rainbow Dash shrugged, then tossed in a sopping wet duffle bag. It landed with a wet splorch on the hardwood floor. “What else was I going to do, take a cab?” She shuffled inside, leaving a puddle in her wake. “M-mind if I borrow your shower?”

“Yeah, alright. You can borrow some clothes too, if you need em. You know where everything is.”

“Sure do! Thanks AJ, you’re the best.” Rainbow Dash flashed her signature, cocky smile, then ran up the stairs.

Applejack stared at the puddle left behind, and sighed. She downed the rest of her cider, and felt the faintest hint of a buzz beginning to stir inside of her. No sense sitting around and twiddling her thumbs.

Unzipping Rainbow Dash’s duffle bag revealed the very unfortunate fact that even if the clothes weren't sopping wet, they weren’t clean to begin with. She unceremoniously dumped everything into the washing machine while doing her best to hold her nose.

By the time Applejack finished mopping up the rest of the water, Rainbow Dash finished her shower and made her way downstairs.

“Ah, I needed that. It’s easy to forget how numb everything gets in the cold until hot water blasts you in the face.” Rainbow Dash laughed at her own joke, then leaned against the back of the couch. Her damp hair hung loose down her back, and she wore an oversized, white t-shirt that appeared to be twenty sizes too big for her.

“Dash, what the heck are you wearing? Is that my brother’s?”

“Hell yeah. It’s super comfy. Plus, I’ve always found the oversized shirt look, to be pretty hot, you know?” Rainbow Dash spun, and the shirt flared up as if it were a dress, revealing that the shirt was the only thing she was wearing. “Tell me I’m wrong.”

Applejack bit her lip and looked away, doing her best to push thoughts about just how perfect Rainbow Dash’s ass was out of her mind. “You know what, I ain’t even gonna argue about it. He’s got a hundred shirts like that, and I can just wash it later. So, why’re you here, Dash?”

Rainbow Dash closed the distance between them and threw her arm around Applejack’s shoulder. “To hang out, duh! When was the last time we got a chance to do that?” She started dragging Applejack towards the kitchen.

“I dunno. Christmas, I think is the last time we all saw each other.” Applejack let herself be dragged, and grabbed another cider for herself after Rainbow Dash had grabbed her own.

“Not like that.” Rainbow Dash clinked the bottles together, then took a swig. “I mean just you and me, hanging out. Together and stuff.”

Faded memories flickered through Applejack’s mind, of a brief time spent together as kids, of a brief time spent together as teenagers. They’d long since patched up their friendship, of course. But how much time had they actually spent together, just the two of them without anyone else around? It didn’t seem to add up to much.

“That’s right.” Rainbow Dash nodded sagely. “It’s been too long. So let’s be bros!”

Applejack raised an eyebrow. “So you drove two hours south, on a Wednesday night, in the middle of a thunderstorm, with a dufflebag full of unwashed laundry, just to be bros?”

Rainbow Dash puffed out her chest. “Can you honestly say you wouldn’t do the same for me? Besides, it’s spring break.”

“No it ain’t.” Applejack frowned. “CHS has spring break this week, but I know for a fact that CU doesn’t have spring break until April. I was just talking to Fluttershy about it. In fact, pretty sure she said y’all had just finished up midterms.”

“Right…” Rainbow Dash took a step back, her smile strained. “Maybe I got the dates mixed up. Does it matter? Come on, AJ. I don’t wanna think about school right now. Seriously, how have you been? How’s the farm doing?”

Applejack pursed her lips, looking Rainbow Dash up and down, then sighed. She took another swig of her cider, then sat down on the couch. “Farm’s fine, I guess. Granny can’t really help out much anymore. And Big Mac’s been spending a lot of his time visiting his girlfriend, Sugar Belle. Apple Bloom’s doing so well in school they’re offering her scholarships and stuff, so I reckon she’ll be off to college soon.”

“She’s a heck of a kid, ain’t she? All the squirts are. I still talk to Scoots a lot.” Rainbow Dash sat down on the back of the couch, legs spread in a way that gave a far too intimate view.

Keeping her eyes averted proved to be somewhat of a struggle, and Applejack took another drink even as her cheeks heated up. “Couldn’t be prouder of all three of them. Still, makes things a bit lonely around here.”

Rainbow Dash waggled her eyebrows. “Lonely, huh? I bet I could help you with that.” She snapped her fingers, pointing finger guns at Applejack.

Applejack scowled. “Ain’t you dating some girl right now? I remember you mentioning something like that last time we saw each other.

“Nah, we weren’t dating. It was really more of a fuckbuddy kind of thing.” Rainbow Dash leaned backwards, stretching. “Plus, she went and found herself a boyfriend, so no more of that.”

“Right.” The string of short, mostly physical relationships Applejack had watched Rainbow Dash get into in high school and college certainly made for an interesting soap opera. It was a trait of her friend that’d she’d never really been able to understand, or relate to. “You do you, I guess.”

“You do you, I do me, and everyone’s just sitting around jerking off.” Rainbow Dash laughed, took another swig of cider, then leaned forward. “Come on, AJ? Ain’t you ever thought of it? You and me? I still remember that time you asked me what kissing a girl was like.”

Oh, she’d thought of it, alright. Applejack clenched a fist. “We were fourteen, Dash. Just kids, and it was a weird day for both of us besides. Puberty is a funny time for everyone. Don’t mean nothing.”

Rainbow Dash’s smile faded a bit. “It meant something to me.” She blew her bangs out of her eyes. “I mean, sure, I already knew I liked kissing girls back then, but you were… well, I’ve gotten a lot of practice in the years since. I’m a lot better at it now.”

“Practice, huh?” Applejack scoffed. “I’m sure all those girls you were with really appreciate being thought of as practice. Sorry Dash, but I ain’t keen on being another notch in your belt.”

“Do you really think that I’d—” Rainbow Dash cut herself off mid sentence, then closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Whatever. Forget about it.”

Applejack stared at the ceiling. A minute of silence passed between them before she cleared her throat. “Why are you really here, Dash?”

“I told you, so we can hangout, remember?”

“Uh-huh, you said that, alright. So what’s the actual reason?”

“Really?” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes, then smirked. “Maybe I just couldn’t stand the thought of my best friend all alone, lonely and repressed. I said to myself ‘Hey Rainbow Dash, you’ve been close to your best friend Applejack in the past, Maybe make the effort get even closer. Let her taste the Rainbow.’”

Applejack stood up, then stretched and yawned. “Well, it’s been good seeing ya, Rainbow Dash. Unfortunately, its getting pretty late, and since it’s a weekday and all I’d better be getting to bed. Gotta get up bright and early on the farm, especially if there’s some damage from the storm I need to cleanup.”

Rainbow Dash blinked. “Wait, what? You can’t be serious. It’s only nine-thirty.”

“Early to bed, early to rise.” Applejack turned off the kitchen light, then paused at the stairs. “There’s some spare blankets and pillows in that chest by the TV if you need ‘em. Your clothes should be done washing in another twenty minutes or so, so you might wanna put them in the dryer so they don’t get moldy. Help yourself to anything in the kitchen, though I’d appreciate it if you didn’t go overboard.”

“Okay fine, that was too much, I’m sorry. Applejack, come on, can’t we—”

“Goodnight, Rainbow Dash.” Applejack started up the stairs.

“I failed, okay!”

Applejack stopped, then looked over her shoulder.

Rainbow Dash bit her lip, hands clenched at her sides. “I failed my midterms, Applejack. Bad. Bad enough that I’m not eligible to be on the team anymore.”

Off the team? That meant everything to Rainbow Dash. She spun on her heels and made her way back to the couch. “They can’t actually kick you off just like that, can they? Surely you can get a second chance if you ask for it.”

“That was my second chance.” Rainbow Dash barked a bitter laugh. “Or really more like my third, or fourth. And I blew it, again, because I was off partying like a dumbass instead of studying.” Rainbow Dash took a shuddering breath. “There, are you happy? That’s why I’m really here.”

“Oh, Dash…” Applejack wrapped her arms around Rainbow Dash and pulled her into a tight hug. “Well, you’re welcome to stay then. But you know any of us would’ve taken you in. Or your parents, for that matter.”

“Ugh, no thanks. You’ve met my parents. There’s no way I could look them in the eye and tell them I’ve fucked up this bad.” Rainbow Dash remained in the embrace, and buried her face in Applejack’s shoulder. “As for the others… I wanted to see you, okay?”

Applejack’s heart pounded in her chest. Rainbow colored hair tickled her nose, smelling like her own apple-scented shampoo. “Alright, fair enough. So, what do you want to do about it? I bet if we call all the girls, we can figure out a way to—”

“Stop.” Rainbow Dash put her hands on Applejack’s shoulders, then pulled back, looking her in the eyes. “I don’t wanna figure this out right now, I don’t wanna call the girls, I don’t want to deal with it.”

Hot breath caressed Applejack’s cheek. She swallowed. “Then what do you want?”

Rainbow Dash’s lips curled in a faint smile. “You.”

“Oh fer f—” Applejack scowled, and narrowed her eyes. “I don’t like it when you tease me like this, Dash. I ain’t that kind of girl.”

“Have you ever considered that I might actually be serious?” Rainbow Dash maintained eye contact, her expression strangely vulnerable.

All sorts of feelings started to bubble up inside Applejack, and she tried her best to stamp them back down. “You even know what a serious relationship looks like?”

Rainbow Dash shrugged. “I dunno. Do you?”

“It ain’t one that starts with one person half naked on the other’s lap, that’s for starters.” Applejack was all too keenly aware of Rainbow Dash’s bare thighs pressed against her jeans.

“Says who? Is there a rule about it or something? Sounds stupid to me.” Rainbow Dash chuckled weakly, then shook her head. “I don’t know, Applejack. Fuck. Things feel right when I’m with you, okay? Isn’t that enough?”

Applejack leaned in even closer, and their faces were only inches apart. “A proper relationship requires stuff like, mutual compatibility, and shared interests, and an emotional connection. The stuff that love is built off of.”

“Uh-huh.” Rainbow Dash closed what little distance remained. Their noses touched. “You don’t think we have any of that?”

There wasn’t anything Applejack could respond with, other than to press their lips together.

This kiss felt a lot like their first, from so long ago. Soft, tender, a little bit awkward. Rainbow Dash tasted a bit like cider.

They broke apart, and started into each other’s eyes. Rainbow Dash had a shy, goofy smile on her face, and her cheeks were flushed.

Something awoke inside of Applejack. The culmination of too many long, lonely nights, spent with her hand between her legs, thinking all sorts of thoughts someone shouldn’t be thinking about her best friends. What she’d like to do to them, what she’d like for them to to do her. What it would feel like to press their bodies together, to taste each other, to share their most intimate secrets and desires in a way not even Equestrian Magic could compare to. And at the front of it all, was the drop dead gorgeous athlete with a body most women would kill for and a mop of rainbow colored hair that shone in any crowd.

Applejack growled, and grabbed Rainbow Dash by her hair, and pulled her in for another kiss. Rather than the innocent, exploratory kiss prior, this one was hungry, and full of need. Applejack thrust her tongue into Rainbow Dash’s mouth.

Rainbow Dash held still for a moment, eyes wide, before she grinned and started kissing back. She wrapped her arms around Applejack, pulling her in tight, and running her hands down Applejack’s back. “Now that’s what I’m talking about,” she said as soon as she was let up for air.

“Shut up.” Applejack kissed her again, then pushed her down against the couch. She leaned on top of her, pulling back on Rainbow’s hair and shifting her kisses to Rainbow’s neck, which earned her all sorts of delightful gasps and shudders. She sucked hard enough to leave a mark, then ran one hand up Rainbow Dash’s bare leg, marveling at the smoothness of her skin and the toned muscles beneath.

“Fuck, AJ,” Rainbow Dash moaned. She looked into Applejack’s eyes, her mouth hanging open. “You have no idea how much I’ve wanted— Oh, fuck! No, I mean, ow, fuck, in the bad way! Ow, stop for a sec!”

Applejack froze, and practically leapt off of Rainbow Dash, her guts twisting. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to… are you alright?”

Rainbow Dash winced, then sat up, rubbing at her back. “It’s alright, relax. Not your fault.” She looked down where she’d been laying. A spiral of metal poked through the ratty couch cushion. “I don’t, uh, think this couch is a great place for doing the horizontal rodeo."

“Oh.” Applejack chuckled nervously. She’d probably gone way too overboard anyway. Of course, admitting that didn’t make her any less horny. “So much for that idea. Sorry.”

“Party ain’t over yet. I mean, you have a bed, right?”

Applejack stared at Rainbow Dash, and swallowed. “Yeah.”

Rainbow Dash grinned. “Race you!”

Another race. Did this keep happening because they loved the competition, or was it more for the sake of nostalgia, at this point? Rainbow Dash took the lead, which afforded Applejack a great view when following her up the stairs.

A few jostled elbows around tight corners later, Rainbow Dash crossed the threshold into Applejack’s room, then leapt onto her queen sized bed, bouncing before twisting around to lay against the headboard. She looked up and Applejack, and licked her lips. “Guess I win this one.”

Applejack took a deep breath, her heart pounding from the brief exertion and from everything else exciting about this. Her fingers shaking, she started unbuttoning her overshirt.

“Don’t mind me.” Rainbow Dash spread her legs, then brought her fingers between her legs and rubbed slow circles around her clit. “I’ll just sit back and enjoy the view.”

A part of Applejack wanted to shut her up, to just pounce on top of her right then and there. Lightning flashed outside, bathing both of them in blinding light. “You’re not wrong, by the way.”

“Huh?”

“The oversized shirt look is super hot.” Applejack finished unbuttoning her overshirt, then slid it off along with her undershirt. Then came her bra, which was always a pain. Even as she tried to hurry, unsexy thoughts filtered in from the back of her mind, trying to undermine what she’d started. When was the last time she’d showered? Compared to Rainbow Dash’s landing strip, she hadn’t even done basic trimming down there in months. Would she mind? What if she farted?

“Holy shit,” Rainbow Dash muttered. “I forgot how goddamn jacked you were, AJ. I could sharpen a knife on those abs.” She wriggled her hips in time with her movements, her fingers already slick with arousal.

Applejack blushed. She wondered if Dash was always this talkative during sex. With any of her previous girlfriends. Even more doubts and fears started to surge up. Applejack tossed her bra to the side, then slid her jeans and her panties down her legs in one motion. There. Completely naked, about to have sex. Her own wetness surprised her.

Rainbow Dash plunged two fingers inside of herself and hissed, biting her lip. “So you gonna come over here and fuck me or what?”

How had this all gone down in her fantasies? Most of them probably weren't applicable to this situation. Rainbow Dash on her knees, eating her out in the apple orchard. Rainbow Dash hog tied and at Applejack’s mercy. Them competing in brutal challenges, where the ultimate loser would have to do whatever the other wanted for the next twenty four hours. Applejack shivered. Just the two of them, here in the bedroom, having sex for the first time. Keep it simple.

Applejack crawled onto the bed until she loomed over Rainbow Dash. She pressed her knee against Rainbow Dash’s sex, finding it burning hot, then leaned down to resume the kiss that had been interrupted earlier.

“Oh fuck,” Rainbow Dash moaned into her mouth. She gyrated her body against Applejack’s, wrapping her arms up around her to squeeze at her back. “Yeah, just like that!”

With a grunt, Applejack started moving her knee to match her movements, then returned to suck on Rainbow Dash’s neck. She was determined to leave it a bruised mess. She nibbled a bit, tasting Rainbow Dash’s sweat on her tongue.

Rainbow Dash shrieked, then giggled, her nails digging into Applejack’s back as she tensed up.

Applejack hissed at the pain, then brought her hands down on Rainbow Dash’s shoulders and pinned her hard against the bed.

With wide eyes, Rainbow Dash struggled a bit, to absolutely no avail. “Forgot how strong you were too,” Rainbow Dash murmured, and she went limp in an motion that could only be described as melting.

A reaction like that only stoked Applejack’s flames even hotter. She brought one her hands to Rainbow Dash’s pussy, and started teasing her slick folds. She slipped two fingers inside easily, feeling her walls clench around her. “You like that?” Applejack whispered, then brought her thumb up to circle her clit.

“Oh fuck yes,” Rainbow Dash whined. “Don’t stop, AJ, please, that feels so fucking good.” Rainbow Dash did her best to buck her hips, still held down by Applejack’s other hand.

Applejack picked up the pace, each thrust of her fingers producing a lewd squelching sound. Enough arousal was spilling onto the bed that she’d have to do laundry. She started thrusting her hips against Rainbow Dash in time with her fingers, as if she were actually fucking her.

“Yesyesyes! Fuck me, Applejack, please! I need you, fuck, fuck fuck fuck.” Rainbow Dash panted underneath her, a sweaty mess. She looked up into Applejack’s eyes, her expression needy. “I’m so fucking close. Choke me!”

Applejack blinked, and her movements faltered. “What? I ain’t gonna—”

Rainbow Dash slapped her across the face. “Do it! Please?”

Applejack growled, then shifted her hand to close around Rainbow Dash’s neck, and redoubled her efforts down below. She had no idea what the proper amount of choking was for something like this, but even her cautious efforts seemed to have the desired effect.

“Applejack!” Rainbow Dash screamed. Her whole body convulsed, and she shook violently, her inner walls clenching hard enough around Applejack’s fingers to the point where she could barely move them.

The orgasm kept going, and Applejack kept thrusting away. The sight of it was so unbelievably erotic, that her efforts could really cause that kind of effect on someone. Finally, Rainbow Dash’s convulsions began to slow down, and Applejack relaxed her grip around her throat, and slowed down her thrusts.

“Fuuuck,” Rainbow Dash groaned as Applejack’s fingers slid out of her, and she lay on the bed like a limp noodle. “That was… holy fuck. I don’t think I’ve ever cum that hard.”

Applejack smiled, then propped Rainbow Dash up into a sitting position, and brushed her bangs out of her eyes. “Hope that didn’t take too much out of you. Still need to get mine after all.”

Rainbow Dash waved her off weakly, and chuckled. “Yeah, yeah, I know. Just give me a second. Fuck.” She shuddered, then laughed again. Tears slid down from her eyes, and her laugh turned into a sob. “Fuck, no, not… Goddamnit!”

“Rainbow Dash?” Applejack put her hands on her shoulders. “What’s wrong, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, it’s just, fuck!” Rainbow Dash sobbed again, and hung limply against Applejack’s arms. “I get really emotional when I cum sometimes! It’s just stupid hormones, and… fuck!” She began weeping in earnest, her eyes scrunched up, tears streaming down from her cheeks as she shook.

Applejack pulled Rainbow Dash into a tight hug, resting her head against her breasts. “Hey now, it’s alright. I’m here for you, okay?”

“I’m sorry.” Rainbow Dash sniffed, dripping from her nose. “I… I don’t know what I’m gonna do, AJ. I let them all down. My whole team was counting on me, and I fucked it all up. All my scholarships, my parents' money, all down the fucking drain!”

“Sssh, sssh.” Applejack stroked the back of Rainbow Dash’s hair, and rested her chin on her forehead. “It’s going to be okay, I promise. We’ll figure it out together.”

Rainbow Dash squeezed back, still sobbing. “I’m sorry for being so pushy. I couldn’t stand to be alone tonight. And when I’m with you, AJ... Don’t leave me. Please.”

Applejack kissed the top of her head. “I ain’t gonna leave you. I promise.”

“I miss it. When we were kids, everything was so simple. Just me, and you, playing in a creek. Why can’t it be like that? All I ever wanted was that.”

“I know. Me too.” Applejack’s heart ached, and she felt a tear well up in her own eyes. Her mom, her dad, and Rainbow Dash. Life could have been so much better. But she still had at least one of those. “We still could, y’know. That creek is still there, and there’s still crawdads to catch. Never got around to making you try some gumbo.”

“Of course you’d say that.” Rainbow Dash laughed weakly. “That’s why I love you so much.”

Applejack’s heart skipped a beat. She opened her mouth, unsure of how to respond, but the words came far easier than she expected. “I love you too, Dash.”

Rainbow Dash made a little contented murmur, then continued to silently weep in Applejack’s embrace.

It wasn’t exactly clear how long they lay there, but eventually the weeping stilled into the soft breathing of sleep.

Applejack sighed, and stared up at the ceiling. A part of this seemed terribly unfair. She still ached with lust, and couldn’t even untangle herself from Rainbow Dash in order to take care of herself.

But in the larger scheme of things, it didn’t matter that much. Lying like this, with Rainbow Dash sleeping in her arms. It felt right. She felt right, more so than she had these past few years, with all her friends off to college, and herself, at home on the farm. Alone.

She could get used to this. Whether this relationship would truly continue in the morning, or if it was just a product of lust in the moment remained to be seen.

But she really, really hoped it did.


Rainbow Dash grunted, and her eyes slowly flickered open.

Her limbs were tangled in something heavy and warm. She felt stiff, and needed to crack her joints. It stank of sweat, and morning breath, and sex. Especially sex.

All in all, it wasn’t an uncommon way for Rainbow Dash to wake up. Though it was usually accompanied by a killer hangover. Instead she was just thirsty.

The scent of apple flavored shampoo brought recognition, followed by a surge of memories from the night before, of where she was, and how she had gotten here.

Rainbow Dash sat straight up, eyes wide, which earned her a grunt from the woman sleeping next to her.

Applejack.

Rainbow Dash looked down at her, heart pounding in her chest. She’d actually done it. Hooked up with Applejack. Then acted like a total crybaby afterwards. How could she have fucked up so badly?

Her eyes traced across Applejack’s broad shoulders, her modest breasts, her gorgeous freckles. Rainbow Dash licked her lips. Fuck, Applejack was still hot as shit. She shook her head. Needed to focus.

It seemed as if she were to wake Applejack up, the illusion would end, that whatever had driven them together last night would snap, there would be regret, and they’d drift apart yet again.

Rainbow Dash lay back down on her side, and silently watched Applejack sleep. Might as well enjoy the illusion for as long as she could.

It was hard to say how long they lay there, but eventually, Applejack begin to stir. She snorted with unladylike grace, then idly scratched her ass before opening her eyes. “Morning,” she mumbled.

“Hey,” Rainbow Dash croaked, her voice cracking. Damn, she was wound up tight. And still really thirsty. She licked her lips, and tried again. “I mean, uh. Sup?”

Applejack smirked, then stretched, her powerful muscles flexing with the movement. “I had a pretty nice dream last night.”

“Heh. Yeah. Dreams are cool.” Rainbow Dash coughed. Having this conversation naked was distracting. “Listen, I…” She sighed, then sat cross-legged on the bed, facing Applejack. “I don’t know what I’m gonna do, AJ. About my life. About… everything.”

“It’s alright. I don’t know what you’re gonna do either.”

Rainbow Dash blinked, “Real helpful.”

“Eyup.” Applejack grinned. “But I do know that we can figure it out together, and that you can stay for as long as you like. And maybe even longer, if you’re so inclined.

An odd warmth blossomed in Rainbow Dash’s chest. “Wait, are you serious? Do you mean… you and me? As like, a thing? This isn’t just some one time hookup?”

“Not a chance.” Applejack leaned forward, and rested her hand against Rainbow Dash’s cheek. “I already told you, I’m not that kind of girl. I’m in this for the long haul. As long as you’re okay with that, anyway.”

Rainbow Dash felt herself tear up, and she mentally cursed herself. There had been enough waterworks last night. She rested her hand on Applejack’s, and took a deep breath, and smiled. “I’m in. A hundred and twenty percent.”

“Glad to hear it.” Applejack pulled her close and kissed her.

It wasn’t a particularly good kiss, full of dry lips and bad breath, but Rainbow Dash couldn’t help her smile when she pulled out of it. “Awesome. Super awesome.” She giggled. “What was your dream about?”

Applejack smirked. “Oh, you know. Sex dream. Pretty amazing sex dream too. One where I actually got to finish.”

“Hah.” Rainbow Dash blinked. “Oh, yeah… Sorry about that.”

“It’s alright.” Applejack sat up, and cracked her neck. “But y’know, if you’re feeling better now, round two would be much obliged.”

“And here I was starting to think you might be a prude. I’m looking forward to getting to know what makes you wet.” Rainbow Dash stretched, while making sure to maintain eye contact and her cockiest smile.

“I’m sure we both have a lot to learn about each other.” Applejack pulled back, grinned, then spread her legs. “Now are you going to get over here and eat me out until I scream your name, or am I going to have to make you do it?”

Rainbow Dash laughed, then licked her lips. “Hell yeah I am.” She started to crawl forward, then paused. “Err, actually, I could really use a glass of water, and kind of have to pee. Can it wait five minutes?”

Applejack blinked, then sighed and shook her head. “Sheesh. Sex ain’t all that sexy sometimes, is it?”

“Nope.”

“Ah well. I kinda gotta pee too, now that you mention it.”

Rainbow Dash grinned. “Race you to the bathroom!”
