Book 1Rainbow Dash's Grand Adventure
Chapter 1: Dreaming of You
It was a normal Monday in Ponyville. Equestria was at peaceful sleep and I was snuggled up in a cloud. My wings were outstretched and I was on my back, probably snoring. I was the Pegasus known as Rainbow Dash, and I had a secret love life. Tomorrow morning I'd meet up with the gang if some-pony were up. Twilight was going to be busy at the library and I was too lazy to pick up another book series after reading the 'Daring Do' series, so that left out Twilight. Pinkie Pie was busy, as well as was Fluttershy. Rarity wouldn't do anything with me either because Miss Prissy Hooves wouldn't want to get dirty so I would probably go see Applejack.
As soon as Celestia's sky turned bright, I cleared the sky from pesky clouds and went to see Applejack. Lifting my hoof, I rang the doorbell.
"Come in, y'all." she said. Seeing it was only me she smiled. "Oh, Rainbow Dash."
"Applejack, every-pony is busy," I said, shuffling my hooves across the floor. I looked around to see if Big Macintosh was here. Not seeing him, I went in. Applejack had just removed a delicious apple pie out of the oven, and it smelled heavenly. I dashed to it, wanting a slice, but Applejack grabbed my tail by her mouth.
"Whoa, Dashie," she said, holding on.
"Why?" I whined.
"It just came out of the oven. It's hot," Applejack warned.
"No duh Sherlock," I scoffed as the smell of the pie tempted me more. "I WANT PIE!" I said, getting mad. Why was she denying me my pie?
"Fine. Big baby," Applejack grumbled, cutting me a slice. I gobbled it down, burning my mouth in the process. Maybe stuffing it in my mouth while it was still piping hot wasn't the smartest thing to do. As I finished licking my plate clean, she stared at me with those emerald green eyes. She walked up to me and grabbed the pie tin, placing it on the counter away from me to ensure I didn't finish the rest of the pie. The she kissed me. I was surprised, but slowly my eyes closed and I kissed her back.
"Applejack," I blushed
"Yes Dashie?" she asked.
"I didn't know you loved me like that," I said.
"Always, Dashie," She whispered.
After that, we dated. We agreed to keep our relationship secret; no pony grew suspicious. Everything was good in Ponyville and my mare Applejack knew how to make me feel better when I was feeling down or mad. We would hang out in the hayloft of her barn for hours, just talking about our day, and I swore on Celestia that Applejack and I would have a happy ending.
Applejack led us in to her house. I nodded to Big Mac and Granny Smith who were both happy to see the gang and me. Pinkie Pie was eating chocolate and Fluttershy was busy looking at Spike, who was sleeping in a little basket. Twilight was on the floor listening to Rarity talk about emeralds, while Applejack and I lay on the couch together.
Spike snored loudly, which made us all laugh. Twilight and Rarity decided they wanted to play truth or dare, like at sleepovers. I was so game! However, last time I played, Applejack and I used to hate each other. Fluttershy had curled up asleep next to Spike's basket and Pinkie was covered in chocolate.
"Mmm, I'll play too!" she said in her singsong voice.
Just then, Applebloom trotted into the room, awakened from her dreams. She asked to play so we let her. Pinkie had licked herself clean as we rolled the dice to see who goes first. I rolled a 6, Twilight rolled a 1, Applebloom rolled a 4, Rarity rolled 3, and Applejack 5. Pinkie rolled a 2 so we could start.
"Truth or Dare?" I asked Rarity.
"Truth. Why not?" she asked.
"Is it true that you like Spike?" I asked. She glared at me. Twilight watched her, her eyes narrowing.
"Er…yes." Rarity confessed.
"Hey y'all it's my turn." Applejack said looking at me.
"Applebloom, truth or dare?" she asked.
"Dare so I can try to git my cutie mark," she said.
"I dare you to lick a sour crab apple," Applejack said laughing as Applebloom declined.
"Sorry Sis, but crab apples are too sour for my liking," she said. We were all having fun with our dares and truths. Everypony would have embarrassing dares except when they told me to make a Sonic Rainboom. Making one, the gang was all happy that I could demonstrate my power.
When the sleepover came to the sleep portion, I wasn't exactly tired, so Applejack and I went to the hayloft together. Once there, we curled up together. She kissed me gently on the lips, and I kissed her back. We fell asleep together, our noses touching. Little did we know the gang would find us like this.
Fluttershy woke up first and thought we went missing. She flew up to the top of the barn to find Applejack and I asleep. She woke up the rest of the gang, who found us cuddling. Hearing laughter, I woke up. Applejack stirred and opened her eyes as well. We blushed, as Twilight looked at me then Applejack. Pinkie was astonished and Fluttershy hid her head.
Rarity burst out, "I knew it! I just knew it everypony!"
Embarrassed, I stood up, ready to take them on. Applejack stood next to me.
"Y'all woke us up," she drawled, smiling at Rarity's astonished expression. Guess we had some explaining to do. Great!
Twilight stared at me, wondering why I had Applejack's hat on. Giving up I began to explain. "I visited Applejack the day we were all supposed to hang out for a pie, but then I burnt myself eating a slice so Applejack kissed me and I liked it and you guys think it's weird but I'm in love with this pony!" I actually had tears in my eyes.
Pinkie clopped her hooves together. "Rainbow Dash and AJ, sittin' in a tree," she sang. Applejack blushed, hiding her face behind my wing. When Fluttershy stopped hiding, she stammered "I-I-It's o-okay." Twilight congratulated us on our newfound relationship and wrote the princess a note while Rarity (who wasn't even able to look at us in the face) smiled a bit before the letter got back.
