Applejack was happily coloring on the floor while Rainbow Dash watched. Rainbow Dash was a little stunned at how absorbed into the activity Applejack was. Even a quick, playful, pat on the diaper garnered only minimal reaction from Applejack, nothing more than a playful happy wiggle in response. Applejack stopped her coloring briefly, concentrated for a moment, and then when right back to coloring. Rainbow Dash laughed. She knew what Applejack had done, she hadn’t gotten used to using her diaper yet, and still had to stop and focus for a moment to let it out.

“Have an accident in your diapee sweetie?” Rainbow Dash asked teasingly.

“No,” Applejack lied with an embarrassed face,

“Applejack we don’t lie,” Rainbow Dash scolded. “Did you wet your diaper?” Rainbow Dash asked again.

“Yes mommy,” Applejack said somehow more embarrassed. Both she and Rainbow Dash knew that she really liked it though. Applejack couldn’t hide her grin and playful squirms that increased with the teasing.

“Good job using your diaper like a good baby,” Rainbow Dash said ruffling Applejack’s hair.

“Stop it mommy,” Applejack whined. Rainbow Dash laughed.

“Ok go back to coloring, I’ll leave you alone.” Applejack gave another happier noise in response, and returned to her coloring, garnering a smile from Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash busied herself with a few chores in the kitchen, being sure to keep an ear out for Applejack, listening for her persistent humming, and the small babbling noises she made to herself.

Rainbow Dash was cleaning some dishes when she was stunned by a knock at her door. She sprinted to the living room to Applejack, who was still obliviously coloring away as if the knock at the door was nothing to worry about.

“Aj!” Rainbow Dash called. Applejack snapped to on hearing her name and realized the gravity of the situation. She hurried to hide behind Rainbow Dash’s couch while Rainbow Dash moved to answer the door. “Coming!” Rainbow Dash called to the door once Applejack was safely hidden out of sight. Rainbow Dash opened the door to Sunset Shimmer and Twilight.

“Rainbow Dash,” Sunset Shimmer said relieved.

“Yeah?” Rainbow Dash asked confused as to what her friend was doing at her house.

“Where were you?” Sunset asked annoyed. “You and AJ didn’t show up at the cafe after school and neither of you have picked up your phone.”

“Oh,” Rainbow Dash said. Both she and Applejack, who was listening to the conversation from her hiding place behind Rainbow Dash's couch, had the same realization. They had been too caught up in their play, and had completely forgotten about everything else, including their daily meet up with their friends. Their phones were laying on the guest bedroom floor, still on silent and with several unread text messages. “Sorry I just didn’t feel up to it today.” Rainbow Dash said coming up with a quick excuse.

“Well, have you seen Applejack?” Twilight asked. “She hasn’t been answering her phone either.”

“She’s fine,” Rainbow Dash answered.

“How do you know? Have you talked to her?”

“Yeah, she didn’t feel well so she went home.” Twilight and Sunset Shimmer looked at each other unconvinced.

“Is everything ok in there Rainbow Dash?” Sunset asked.

“Yeah, everything’s fine,” Rainbow Dash replied.

“Do you think we could some in for a bit?”

“No!” Rainbow Dash said suddenly, blocking the door with her arm. Sunset looked at Rainbow Dash angry.

“Rainbow Dash?”

“Nothing is going on, I just don’t want company right now ok.” Applejack was feeling like Rainbow Dash was losing control of the conversation, and that any moment Sunset Shimmer and Twilight would talk their way inside and see her, and there wasn’t any hiding the onesie and diaper she was wearing. As Rainbow Dash continued to attempt to distract Sunset and Twilight Applejack quickly shot out from behind Rainbow Dash’s couch, and rolled into her hallway before running to the guest room.

“What was that?” Sunset Shimmer said seeing a blur that was Applejack move in Rainbow Dash’s house, but not quite being able to make out what exactly she saw.

“What was what?” Rainbow Dash said in a panic. “It was nothing. Nothing’s here.”

“Something definitely moved back there,” Twilight said seriously. Twilight and Sunset began forcing their way in out of concern.

“Guys, you can’t just barge in here,” Rainbow Dash whined. It was no use as the two other girls walked past her, and began to investigate the source and path of the blur they saw. This lead them into the hall and toward the guest bedroom. They were stopped by an emerging Applejack, wearing her clothes from school.

“Oh hey girls,” Applejack said quickly shutting the bedroom door.

“Oh Applejack,” Twilight sighed with relief.

“Was that you we saw earlier?” Sunset asked.

“Heh yeah. Didn’t mean to scare you, but when nature calls,” Applejack said coming up with a quick excuse. Despite her poor lying skills the two didn’t press any further just glad that she was ok. “Just got your messages. Guess we forgot to take our phones off silent.”

“Oh,” Sunset said with a laugh. “I do that all the time. Fluttershy just got kind of worried. You know how she gets. She was worried something had happened to you.”

“Well I’m fine,” Applejack said quickly. “Everything’s good here.”

“What are you doing at Dash’s house anyway?” Twilight asked.

“She wanted to watch the game!” Rainbow Dash said quickly coming in from the living room.

“The game?” Sunset asked. “I didn’t know there was any game on today.”

“Oh well it’s a pretty obscure game, its uhhh,” Applejack began.

“Women’s Lacrosse!” Rainbow Dash finished.

“Yeah women’s Lacrosse,” Applejack said going along with the excuse. Both Twilight and Sunset were suspicious of this excuse, but they also both realized that asking further would be intrusive, so they hesitantly began to leave.

“Well sorry for interrupting your game I guess,” Sunset apologized. Twilight gave an apologetic bow behind her as the two made their way to the door.

“It’s no problem,” Rainbow Dash said reassuringly.

“Yeah, I can see how you guys might have been worried,” Applejack added. Twilight and Sunset waved goodbye and Rainbow Dash shut the door.

“Oh god that gave me a heart attack,” Rainbow Dash said as soon as Sunset and Twilight had gone.

“You’re telling me,” Applejack said. She began taking off her school clothes again, revealing that she had just worn her school clothes over her onesie instead of taking it off.

“That was some quick thinking.”

“Yeah, but we’ve got to be more careful. I can’t believe we forgot about hanging out at the cafe.”

“Yeah, I was just so excited to start.”

“I think we both were,” Applejack said laughing. After a nervous laugh the two sat down together on the couch, Applejack curled up in Rainbow Dash’s lap. She slowly slipped her pacifier back in her mouth as the tension from the earlier surprise eased, and she was able to go back into her little head space. When Applejack abruptly buried her head in Rainbow Dash with a giggle Rainbow Dash knew she had her baby back. Rainbow Dash went off to prepare a bottle, leaving Applejack alone on the couch playing with her feet. She returned after a few minutes with a bottle of warm milk. Applejack quickly settled into Rainbow Dash's lap and happily began suckling.

“After this I bet you’ll be ready for sleepy time,” Rainbow Dash said as Applejack drank. Applejack sleepily nodded already feeling the effects of the drink. She whined in defeat as she finished, mere seconds away from falling asleep. Rainbow Dash gently, but quickly, led her back to the guest bed. As soon as she hit the mattress she was asleep. Rainbow Dash smiled as she raised the small guard rails she had installed up, smiling when Applejack was safely secure in her bed. She left the door cracked like she did when Applejack had taken her nap earlier.

Meanwhile Sunset Shimmer and Twilight had met back up with Rarity, Pinkie Pie who had been to Applejack’s house looking for her.

“So they’re both ok?” Rarity asked with concern.

“They appeared to be fine,” Twilight asserted.

“Well that’s good,” Pinkie Pie said happily. “I’m sure that will make Fluttershy calm down a lot.”

“No kidding,” Sunset said in agreement. “She’ll probably just find something else to worry about though.”

“What were they doing together anyway?” Rarity asked curiously.

“They said they were watching some kind of sport,” Sunset answered.

“La crosse,” Twilight clarified.

“Well that doesn’t make sense,” Pinkie Pie began. “La crosse doesn’t even start until next month. Support your local canterlot deers by the way.”

“So they lied to you?” Rarity said sensing gossip.

“Applejack lied to you,” Pinkie added seriously. The group paused at the gravity of the situation.

“Despite that, we shouldn’t go snooping in their business,” Twilight said seriously.

“Of course,” Rarity began. “Although if Applejack’s lying about it, it must be something serious.”

“Yeah I mean who knows what it could be,” Sunset said also curious about what the two were doing.

“Clearly something they didn’t want us to know about,” Twilight countered frustrated at the others.

“But I can’t help it Twilight,” Pinkie Pie whined. “I have to know.” Sunset, Pinkie, and Rarity all looked at Twilight pleadingly.

“Fine I’m not going to say anything,” Twilight said with a huff. “But I’m not getting involved, and don’t come crying to me when you don’t like what you find. There’s probably a reason they don’t want us knowing about it.”

Author's Note

Here's another chapter for you guys. We've got some more little time between Applejack and Rainbow Dash, and that's going to continue into the next chapter. Also we've got some set up for the next plot point I want to hit. And that next plot point may or may not be the last for this story. I've got more ideas I can do, but I don't want the story to drag on if it's at a good ending. We'll see when we get there if that's where it's going to end or not. Btw not an invitation for you guys to ask me to make it any longer. Not trying to be rude, but you're probably not going to convince me either way, though I appreciate the enthusiasm. If I feel like it needs to end it's going to end. I hate when things drag on longer than they should. Also I'm going to change the cover for the story to a picture by deviant art user ThunderDash07, I'll update the link in the description once I make the change. The meru artwork is great, but it's not Applejack, and this is a pretty good picture that's actually of Applejack. Thanks to user Krauser for recommending the picture and the artist to me. Also I've gotten a few questions about the weirdly even like to dislike ratio. It kind of sticks out next to my other stories that are very much more "liked". I've noticed that too, and I have a theory, though I'm hesitant to admit it. When I first published this I put a big ab/dl content warning in the description, and it's the first time I've done that with a story. It immediately got hit by a large amount of dislikes when I uploaded it with that description. I can't help but think that it may have gotten bombed by people who just don't think fondly of ab/dl in general. It jsut seemd kind of odd to me that the only time I've gotten that kind of negative response is the time I announced that it was an ab/dl story in the description. I've got no proof of that mind you, and it's very likely that I'm wrong and I'm just a bad writer, I'm just positing my theory on it. In the end I don't really care if that's the case, it's a learning experience. In the future I'm definitely never announcing the ab/dl ness of the story in the description again regardless of if I'm wrong about this or not. I think it's usually apparent by the cover anyway. All that out of the way, hope you guys enjoy it.
