More Than Friends

Author's Notes: This did NOT turn out the way I'd hoped at ALL. Only one like! I know that my pacing is something to be desired, and I'll work on that in the later chapters. Here's hoping that the number of dislikes drive away new readers.

Rainbow Dash's eyes fluttered slowly open, stinging from the sudden exposure to light. She felt light headed and was being run over by wave after wave of crippling nausea. She tried to sit up, which quickly proved to be a bad idea. As she moved, she was struck with another shock of sickness, causing her to vomit profusely all over the plaid bed sheets that had been wrapped so tightly around her.

"Oh!" came a smooth-accented voice from what Rainbow Dash could only assume was the bathroom. "Y'all finally woke up!" Applejack came trotting into the room, a worried smile on her face. "How're y'all feelin'?"

"Ah," groaned Rainbow Dash. "I've been through worse." The moment she finished the sentence, though, she once again heaved up a steaming pile of yellowish crud onto Applejack's bed sheets. "I am SO totally sorry." she said.

"Aw, it ain't no big deal, sugarcube. i'll jut go an' get another set." Said Applejack turning to leave the room. “Oh, and if y’all need anything, and I mean anything,” on that word, Applejack gave her flank the slightest of seductive wiggles. “Don’t be afraid to ask.” With that, she left the room.

Rainbow Dash just sat and stared at the door that Applejack had gone through. Had she really seen Applejack do that, or was it just her imagination. Thinking about it had caused her heart rate to increase again, making her head spin even more violently. "No, she would never do that! I'm just being an idiot."

Applejack returned a few moments later with a fresh bed comforter and sheets. "I hope that you don't mind that I patched ya up a little. That table really gashed your head somethin' fierce." Rainbow raised her hoof to her head to find a heavy layer of gauze wrapped tightly around her forehead, though her mane had been carefully excluded from the wrappings.

"Thanks Applejack, I really appreciate this," said Rainbow Dash. "But I should really be getting out of your mane."

"Aw, no ya don't! Y'all are just too sick to be able to leave right now. I'mma just take care of ya 'til ya feel better, and I won't let ya argue otherwise."

"But... oh all right." said Rainbow Dash, putting on a frustrated pout.

"Hey," said Applejack, her head tilted ever so slightly to the side, "Ah think that ah know somethin' that'll make y'all feel a might better."

"alright!" said Rainbow Dash, perking up considerably. "What is it?"

"Just close your eyes." whispered Applejack, her eyes becoming half lidded. Rainbow Dash obeyed, and the next thing she knew, her lips were locked into one of the strongest, most powerful kissed she had ever experienced.
