"Hey Apples, where's the whisk?"

Uh oh. Why on earth does Rainbow Dash want the whisk?

"Rainbow, whatcha doing?"

"Uhm... nothing?"

"Ya know ah don't believe that."

"Don't know why, clearly you can trust your wonderful girlfriend and roommate-"

"Yer not helping yer case, Dashie."

A moments silence.

"Where's the whisk?"

Applejack sighed.

"Left drawer."

"I checked there-"

"Left, Dashie. The left drawer."

"Oh."

Applejack sighed again, resting the book she'd been reading onto her legs as she lay on the couch in their living room. The TV had the horse races on, something that managed to actually keep the attention of both Applejack and Rainbow, but AJ was only listening due to her reading. The sun poured in the open window, casting bright pools of heat on the floors and she could hear the late spring birdsongs from outside. A perfect, peaceful day on campus. She'd have to message Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle to see if they wanted to do something, if they weren't already busy with each other. She could hear Rainbow clattering around the kitchen, but honestly? She was too chilled out to care. If she set something on fire, AJ could deal with it. Honestly, Rainbow could deal with it. AJs influence was finally starting to show on the sportster. Maybe that was why she was trying to make something?

"So whatcha makin?"

"It's a surprise."

AJs eye twitched slightly, but she said nothing, instead picking up a long, thin wooden stick that she twirled through her fingers before settling it into her mouth - an alternative for the wheat stalks she used to rest similarly when she was back at Sweet Apple Acres.

"Well, just don't set the kitchen on fire, ya hear me?"

"When would I ever do that?"

"Last week."

They both snickered.

"Fair enough."

Applejack smiled happily to herself, settling back into the book, a recommendation from Twilight that the country girl found herself thoroughly enjoying. So much, in fact, that she barely registered any time had passed before Rainbow's grinning face appeared at the top of her vision.

"Dash."

"Apples."

"What-"

"Here."

Applejack felt her heart flutter as Rainbow reached over and placed a plate onto AJs lap, and she lowered her book to find a small stack of pancakes with whipped cream and apple slices on top, as well as a small vial of maple syrup they'd picked up on a trip to Canada.

"They're apple flavoured, too."

"Dash- ah..."

Rainbow's grin grew even larger.

"What's the occasion?"

A shrug.

"No occasion. Just a thank you for being an awesome girlfriend. I feel like I don't say it enough."

Applejack blinked, fighting off happy tears.

"Cmere, you-"

Rainbow squeaked (rather uncharacteristically) as Applejack moved an arm around her waist and pulled her down so she was lying on AJ.

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it. Seriously. You're awesome, AJ."

Applejack smiled and planted a soft kiss on Rainbow's forehead.

"Yeah, you're pretty damn good yourself, sugarcube."
