“For the last time, Rainbow Dash, our teams are tied. Yer NOT in the lead!” Applejack insisted.

“Yeah, but YOU’RE out!” Dash countered, pointing at Applejack’s changed portrait on the scoreboard.

“It ain’t about who specifically is out, it’s about how many are out on each team! An’ right now, it’s still five to five!”

“Well, I think team captain should count as double,” Dash said, sticking out her tongue.

Applejack’s face twisted, unsure whether Dash was serious or not. “Ya can’t just make up a whole new rule right near the end of the game!”

Rainbow threw her hooves up in the air in resignation. “So after all that planning, we’re just gonna have it end in a tie?”

“Unless something miraculous happens, Ah don’t see it changing any time soon,” Applejack said with a shrug.

“Well this fucking sucks!” Dash groaned. “I wanted to take advantage of the winner’s perk!”

“Ya think Ah didn’t wanna have first round dibs, too?” Applejack sighed, turning around and heading back into the barn.

“So what are we gonna do?” Rainbow Dash said, flying after Applejack. “You really think it’s okay to just end the whole thing like this?!”

“Believe me Dashie, it ain’t my first choice either, but if my team did just as good as yours, then that’s just how it’s gotta be.”

Rainbow Dash understood what Applejack was saying, but she was still frustrated. “But we went through all that trouble making teams and no one’s even gonna see the benefit of it?”

“If it matters that much to ya, why don’t you clop out right now?” Applejack smirked, brushing her tail under Rainbow’s chin to tease her. “That way at least my team still gets to have some fun.”

“Ha ha, very funny,” Rainbow laughed dryly. “I’d consider it if I had as fun as you did.”

Applejack turned her head to the side, letting out an awkward, nervous chuckle as she sat down in the barn.

Rainbow Dash could sense all the tension that just arose, deciding to broach it entirely. “So…Chrysalis, huh? Wanna tell me how that happened?”

Applejack quickly removed her hat and put it over her face in a desperate attempt to cover up her cheeks. “That’s…uh…”

“I mean, I guess I get it?” Dash shrugged. “Every other changeling we know is taken, and it’s not like our friends haven’t been fucking previous would-be Equestrian conquerors…”

Applejack let out a muffled sound that sounded like both a grunt of agreement and a whimper.

“I’m not judging your choices, but if me and the other girls were putting money on the line, I would’ve bet my bits on you and Tirek.”

Rainbow Dash managed to get a snort out of Applejack. The idea of her fawning over Tirek’s muscular figure was a touch silly, but not completely farfetched, given what could’ve happened if she stayed in.

Hearing Applejack chuckle even a little bit made Dash smile, knowing that she lifted her friend’s spirit even by a little bit. “C’mon, it can’t be that bad!” she said, giving Applejack an encouraging nudge.

“Ah dunno, it all just happened so fast…” Applejack responded, putting her hat back on.

“Yeah, cause that’s NEVER happened during No Clop before,” Dash rolled her eyes as she scoffed. “AJ, I’m pretty sure you’ve known Chrysalis longer than Braeburn’s known Feather Bangs, and those two are probably Fucking. Right. Now.”

“Thanks for the visual, Dash,” Applejack responded flatly.

“I’m JUST saying…”

Applejack took a deep breath, “Well, she has been around longer than Tirek and Cozy Glow. Ah know she hasn’t been ‘reformed’ like Discord or Starlight, but she seems to tolerate us well enough to keep coming back and ‘feed off our love’ year after year.”

“Mmhm…?” Rainbow Dash grounded herself, earnestly listening to Applejack explain herself.

“Ah mean, it’s obvious that she doesn’t really mean most of what she says, right? Despite what she says about Thorax and Ocellus and stuff, she still wants them to do well. She’s going out and talking with the other contestants instead of staying cooped up for the whole month. It’s not crazy to think she actually wants companionship outside of just food, right?”

Rainbow Dash paused to think. “No, you’re right. Can’t see why they wouldn’t keep joining us if they didn’t like us at least a little bit.”

“She does seem to have problems expressin’ how she really feels, kinda like somepony else Ah know…” Applejack smirked, turning towards Rainbow Dash.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Dash responded, quickly looking away.

“Maybe if Ah gave her a little bit of love, she’d start to get used to the idea of sharing it, too.” Applejack shrugged and chuckled. “Heh, Ah’m startin’ to sound like Fluttershy, ain’t I?”

“Hey, it worked for her, didn’t it?” Dash waggled her eyebrows as she playfully nudged Applejack. “And if she can get Discord, Babs gets Cozy, and Twilight gets every other baddie, I think you’re fine taking at least one.”

“When you put it like that, Ah feel like Ah’m in over my head…”

“You kidding?” Rainbow Dash swung her hoof around Applejack. “You make this work, and you can hold this over Twilight and Starlight FOREVER! Besides, if there’s anypony tough enough to take on Chrysalis, it’s you, Applejack!”

Applejack softly chuckled, leaning against Rainbow. “Hehe, thanks, Dash.”

“Though since I have the opportunity, maybe I’ll find out myself why you wanted to lose to her,” Rainbow Dash smirked.

“Well the tongue certainly helped…”

“So does that mean all those fun one-night stands are done with?”

Applejack chuckled. “Who said anything about that?”

Rainbow Dash snickered before letting out a wistful sigh. “Still sucks we’re ending on a tie. Would’ve loved to see what the orgy would look like with a winning team…”

A very familiar male voice suddenly chimed in. “Well maybe that can still be arranged!”

Rainbow tilted her head back with a groan. “Zephyr, what are you even talking ab-OHHH SWEET CELESTIA I NEED BLEACH.”

As Rainbow turned back around to try and gouge her eyes out, Applejack looked to see Zephyr leaning against the door frame, stroking his shaft to hardness almost too enthusiastically.

“Zephyr what the hell are you doing.”

Zephyr let out a huff as he got fully erect. “Well, I was thinking, just yesterday, that Cozy Glow chick decided to sacrifice her victory for the one she loves, right?”

“Don’t like where this is going…” Dash muttered, already feeling an icy chill rush down her back.

“I figured, nnnf! I figured that there was no reason that I couldn’t do the same!” Zephyr started pumping his cock faster as the pre started to leak out from his head.

“...Zephyr, you don’t have to do that…” Applejack quietly discouraged.

“You REALLY don’t have to do that!” Dash insisted, refusing to turn back around.

Zephyr held a wing up. “Ah, ah! I know what you’re thinking, Rainbows. I know you don’t want to see me go. After all, what would be a better reward than a nice Breeze at the start of the orgy?”

Dash put her hooves together and looked towards the ceiling of the barn. “Celestia, if you could strike me down right now…”

“But I couldn’t help but…mmmph…overhearing your problem that you gals wouldn’t be able to enjoy a first round anything if the scores were tied…”

Even Applejack was starting to find this difficult to watch. “Zephyr, really, a tie is perfectly fine!”

“Sorry, Applejack, but I’ve made up my mind!” Zephyr stamped his hoof against the ground. “And you know that when I make up my mind, there’s no changing it!”

Rainbow choked on air at the sheer audacity.

“If this is what’s gonna make this competition worthwhile in the end, then I’m more than happy to make the sacrifice!” Zephyr declared, his breathing getting shorter as he started dribbling pre.

Dash was hearing Zephyr’s words, but refusing to process any of it.

“Just promise me that when you’re having fun once it hits midnight, you’ll be thinking of me, ‘kay, Rainbows?”

Rainbow covered up her muzzle with her hooves to try and prevent the bile from escaping.

Zephyr pumped and stroked his shaft with his hoof and wings faster and faster, letting out a satisfied shudder as he was the second stallion to unleash his load in the barn that month.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash didn’t need to check the fact that Zephyr’s portrait had changed on the scoreboard, finally tipping the scales.

“Is it over?” Rainbow Dash asked, her brain shutting down most conscious functions in order to protect herself.

“Sadly, yes,” Applejack responded flatly, giving Dash a few pats on the back in an almost sarcastic manner. “Congrats, Dash, guess you’re having that first round after all.”

Dash’s head perked up, finally realizing what all this meant. “W-Wait, I’m winning now?”

“Yyyep…” Applejack solemnly shook her head to herself as Zephyr leaned more of his weight against the door frame to recover.

Dash’s eyes widened with excitement. “I…I won? I WON!” Rainbow Dash started doing flips through the air as she cheered in victory. “HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE BEST! OH I’VE NEVER LOVED ZEPH MORE THAN THIS MOMENT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!”

Zephyr perked up with a wide grin. “...Did you say you love me?”

“FUCK!”
