Rarity shut the door behind her, looking down at the tiled floor beneath her. She gave a soft sigh, holding her hand to her chest. Opal looked up from the couch, giving a soft meow for a greeting. Slowly turning around Rarity peeked out the window, watching Applejack walk down the dirt road. A smile slowly crept across her face as she shut the shades and locked the door. Opening her cupboard she took down a candle and a single match, striking it against the rough side of the wooden door. She placed the match against the wick and watched the candle catch. With a fast pace Rarity walked all throughout her home, locking every window and closing all the curtains. Not a spec of light could squeeze in or out of that place. She then stood outside her room, looking back at Opal who stared blankly in her direction.

"Mommy needs alone time." She said shutting the door behind her, leaving Opal alone in the front room. She took the candle to the nightstand and placed it down. Sitting on the bed the mare gazed into the candlelight, watching the flame flicker back and fourth. Once in a while she could see the black smoke leave the red flame, and disappear into the dark air. She began to daydream about her date... what would've happened if Jack had come inside. If she showed him her bedroom. She laid herself down as she began the scene in her head.

Jack stood close to Rarity's back as they had entered her bedroom, very close. She could feel his breath glide through her mane, then down and around her neck. He parted her hair, exposing her soft white neck. His lips met her neck and shoulder line, kissing it softly. As the two touched she could feel tingles race up her sides, giving her chills and making her breath quiver. His hands slid down her arms, and when they met her own he gripped them tightly. She leaned her head to the side, giving him all the space he wanted. His hand left her own, only to slide to the side of them, feeling the curves of her hips. She let out a soft moan as he slid his warm soft tongue gently across her neck. His right hand slid up from her hip and around to her breast, squeezing it gently. She let out a gasp, grabbing for his hand to push it away. His hand only gripped tight, not letting any give.

"J-jack what are you doing?"

No answer. The mare was turned around, looking at him eye to eye. Their snouts almost touching. A dark blush appeared across her face as she was forcefully pushed onto the bed. She watched as a smile grew across his face, and crawled onto the bed over her.

"Stop." she demanded. He looked her in the eyes, and could see right through her. He knew she wanted this, just as much as he wanted it. She placed her hands on his shoulders, keeping his snout away from her own. Giving her a cocky grin he leaned forward, forcing himself down upon her. His hands slid to her knees prying her legs open and wedging himself between them. She could feel his hardness through the jeans he wore brush up against her thigh as he leaned in closer. He slid her dress upward, barely past her hips and exposed her black laced panties. She pushed forward with her arms more, in an attempt to shove him off. But it was no use. He overpowered her easily. He shoved her arms down, sliding them up and outward above her head. Her heart pounded as she felt fear and adrenaline that he might hurt her. Her legs began to shake, and her knees bent inward. His hardness pushed up against her soft puss, making her moan in surprise. She could feel tingles strike her instantly, making her breath heavy. He rocked himself firmly against her, rubbing and rubbing till he could feel her moisture though his pants. Her arms and legs soon fell limp, and she found herself rocking back against him. She wasn't in control of her body anymore. The need to feel this good overwhelmed her... and she now answered to her lust. The rhythm of their bodies rubbing together just felt so good her body ached for him to take it further. She needed a detailed touch, one that played with all that she had down there.

"Kiss me on the lips. . . ." her voice gave a begging tone. Jack raised his head, looking her in the eyes.

"Please."

Slowly he backed down, his head stopping just above her knees. His hands felt around her firm thighs, squeezing them gently. His fingertips felt the edge of her laced panties, pinching them and bringing them downward. Rarity tilted her head back and closed her eyes, feeling another zap of tingles rush up her spine as Jack spread her legs open. Her heat could be felt inches away from her, and her moisture could be seen even with the dim candlelight. A light gasp escaped her as she felt Jack's lips reach her lower ones. His tongue slid between her folds, gently licking upward meeting her clit that hid beneath its hood. She felt a rush of adrenaline hit her as he took his tongue and licked her again. She let out a moan and a soft sigh, her legs slowly sliding downward till Jack caught them so he could move them about as he pleased. His tongue slid down, entering her hole to scoop out what she had to offer him. Rarity moaned again, her lower half moving against his snout, begging to feel more.

"Ohhh yesss." Rarity gripped the bed sheets and arched her back as she felt his fingers trail down to her anus. His middle knuckle rocked against the outside gently, as his tongue slid up to her clit again. He sucked on her and kissed folds, lapping up whatever wetness slipped out from her. Jack's freehand moved her folds to the side, exposing her clit fully from its hood. His tongue then licked at her roughly, and with each strike she felt a surge of pleasure. Rarity's hands met the top of his head, letting him know to stay in that spot without any words. Her body shook and twitched with each lick to her clit, and soon she found herself about to reach her climax.

"How does it taste?" she asked.

Jack's green eyes slowly looked up to meet her own. She couldn't last another moment. Rarity's eyes rolled upward, her back arched once again as she felt an overwhelming rush of pleasure. She gripped his hair and pushed her wet self forcefully into his snout. His tongue slid deep into her, massaging around quickly while her nerves and body lost control. She let out a large gasp of air and a moan, followed by words.

"Ohh tell me how it tastes."

"As sweet as a sugar cube."

"Oh, AppleJa-"

Rarity opened her eyes as she laid in her dark room at home, her hands rubbing her self vigorously. She didn't stop at the sudden thought of Applejack, her climax only begged for her to continue because of it. "Yes Applejack." she moaned out loud, her fingers slipping into her hole as it squeezed tightly when her second rush of ecstasy came to her. She let out a long breath of air as her tingles began to settle throughout her body. As the feeling of her orgasm left her, she wondered why all of the sudden Applejack would rush into her mind like that. Why so sudden? Was it because he reminded her of her friend so much? Their personalities were so close together. Honest, well mannered when necessary, strong, kind with a hint of bashful. But she had never thought of Applejack with so much lust before. Sure there was the occasional thought of a threesome with a stallion but there was never more to it. Not like this time. This time was different. She was fantasizing about a stallion, and it turned out she was lusting after her friend. Rarity had been around Jack all day long, the more she sat here thinking about the way he responded to her questions and reactions made think deeper and deeper into it. Turning over in her sheets she blew out the candle and closed her eyes, examining the two in her head as she drifted to sleep.

As noon came so did the sounds of birds chirping in the apple trees as they chattered about what they had for breakfast. A light breeze swept across the acres and two mares could be found just outside the barn surrounded by bales of hay and heavy sandbags. Rainbow Dash stood watching Applejack with her blue cap on and a whistle around her neck. Her arms were crossed as she urged her farm friend to work hard.

"You call that a kick?" she said as she watched Applejack kick a large sandbag. "My grandmother can do that while she gets ready for her second nap!"

Applejack huffed as she reared her leg back and kicked it forward, hitting the sandbag again.

"HARDER!"

Applejack kicked the sandbag harder this time, sending it a few feet away from her. "Rainbow, ah've been doin' this since six this mornin'. Please, can ah have a break?" She said hunched over trying to catch her breath.

"Is Iron Will going to give you a break?"

Applejack paused for a moment and sighed. "No."

"Then why should I? Now since you like to complain so much, give me squats till I say you're done."

Applejack rolled her eyes as she stood her legs apart, readying her squats. Rainbow Dash then shoved a large hay bale into her arms.

"With this out in front of you. You can complain about how it burns so much since that's what you like doing."

Applejack sighed as she began her squats. Immediately she felt the burn in her abs and thighs. She shut her eyes tight as she forced herself to move up and down. Dash leaned on a bale of hay with her elbow and counted out the squats in her head.

"Now since we both know that Iron Will has been training for this much longer than you have we are going to have to have you learn how to get him out of the ring asap. He's a lot bigger than you and a lot stronger, so the longer you are in the ring the less of a chance you'll be able to beat him. So, what are you going to do?"

"Ah don't think he's very bright so ah could always out-smart him."

"Okay, how?"

"Maybe ah could trip him somehow and he could fall right out of the ring?"

"Okaaaay new plan."

"What was wrong with that one?"

"How are you going to trip a charging minotaur?"

Applejack paused for a moment. "Right, well what if ah taunted him? Make him charge at me and then when he gets real close, ah jump into the air, and kick him in the back of the head! He'll fall forward and right out of that ring!"

Rainbow Dash nodded as she thought more and more about it. It wasn't a bad idea, in fact it might actually work.

"Wow, that actually might work AJ."

Applejack's knees began to shake with each squat she completed. "Please tell me ah'm almost finished," she said holding her breath. But Rainbow Dash was too busy playing out the action scene in her head, continuing to nod in approval.

"But just in case that doesn't work, lets have you go through some escape drills."

Applejack fell to the floor, her face covered in sweat as she tried to catch her breath. Dash blew her whistle and leaned in the young mares face. "Did I say you could stop for a nap? Get up you lazy bum."

Applejack's heart raced from the constant exercise, but she forced herself off the ground and struggled to pick up the hay bale. "Ya know there is such a thing as 'burnin' yourself out.'"

"He isn't going to have any mercy on you, AJ. So neither will I."

"Who isn't?" a familiar feminine voice came from behind the stacks of hay. AJ and Dash froze, they recognized that voice instantly. The white mare with purple hair peeked around the stacks of hay, seeing AJ holding up a hay bale and Dash standing near, with her coach gear on. In the white unicorns arms was a basket covered with a white cloth that she held in close to her body. Applejack dropped the hay bale and put her arms behind her head, trying to seem like they weren't really up to anything at all.

"Hey Rarity, what's goin' on?" She said scratching the back of her head.

"Who isn't going to have any mercy on you, Applejack?" Rarity insisted on her question being answered.

"Flim and Flam!" Answered Dash. "Yep, there's a rumor going about that they'll be back in town for revenge! So were training AJ here to kick more flank than last time!" Dash patted AJ on the back as AJ nodded her head quickly in agreement.

"Ugh that's terrible, simply awful. We can't have that now can we?" Rarity watched as Applejack huffed to catch her breath, looking everywhere but at Rarity.

"So uh-what can ah do you for Rarity?" She said picking up a towel and drying her face on it.

"Well I was hoping you weren't busy, but perhaps would like to join me on a picnic?" Rarity tilted her head while watching AJ put the towel back down. AJ looked at Rainbow Dash for approval.

"Well coach? Can ah have my break now?"

"Alright you've got two hours and then, I wanna see you back here pronto!"

"Great! Shall we move on then?" Rarity said turning around and looking back to her blonde friend. Applejack followed Rarity out into the apple orchard, where they found a shaded area to lay their picnic. Rarity sat down on her white cloth while Applejack sat in the grass. "Its alright, AppleJack. You can sit on the cloth with me."

"Oh ah am all sweaty ah don't want to get my dirt all over it. Ah know how ya like to keep things neat."

Rarity smiled as she brought out two sandwiches that had been neatly folded up in napkins, handing one to her friend. "So Applejack, would you mind if I asked you a few questions?"

"What is it sugar cube?" Applejack asked as she unwrapped her sandwich. Rarity cleared her throat as she heard the words 'sugar cube.'

"I recently made a friend who is a stallion named Jack."

Applejack froze, staring at her sandwich. What was she going to say? Why did she drag her out here all alone to go on a picnic just to be told about this stallion? Worst of all, Rarity said she had questions. The anticipation grew heavy for her, and it almost felt like an eternity before she could answer.

"I went on a small date with him yesterday and well, from what I've noticed about him he's very much like you." Rarity watched as Applejack didn't look at her, but was fixated on her sandwich.

"Oh really? We'll he must be one swell of a colt then." She said with a wink. Rarity tried not to blush.

"Yes well the question I wanted to ask you is, he said he isn't from around here. I'm afraid that if I keep seeing him my feelings will grow more fond and I wont be ready to let him leave. I'm afraid I wont be seeing him ever after he leaves for home. That he wont try to contact me after he makes a promise or even tells me good bye for good. If he's going to leave so soon, should I stop trying to be with him?"

"Ah-ah see. And why are you askin' me again?"

"He's a lot like you Applejack. A honest, hardworking, strong but gentle pony like you. Surely you must know what he might be thinking?"

"We'll uh, ah've never met him. But if he's anything like me, he'll come round and see you again. Especially if he likes you in such a way. He would do anything to be near you Rarity if he cares about you like ah-" Applejack began to stumble over her words, she almost finished her sentence with '....like I do.' But she caught herself. Sweat started to form on the palm of her hands as soon as she noticed Rarity was staring right into her eyes.

"...Like?"

"Like ah imagine!" She took a bite of her sandwich and began to avoid eye contact again. She thought she was in the clear.
Surely Rarity had no idea what Applejack was really going to say right? Rarity stared for a moment as she watched her friend nervously look around and concentrate on her sandwich. The white mare slowly leaned forward and watched as a light blush appeared across the orange mares freckles. It was then she made the connection. Applejack and Jack had the same eyes, the same personality and they even shared the same freckles. She leaned away, trying to hide her smile as to what she just now figured out. She wasn't one hundred percent sure if she was correct, but it was going to be fun for her to guess.

"I really wonder if you two are related. Perhaps long lost cousins of some sort."

"What makes you say that?"

"Your eyes are so strikingly similar, that has to be the answer."

"Yeah? Well maybe we are. Ah've got loads of family everywhere, hard to contact em' sometimes."

"And you know what? He has freckles just like you do, dear." Rarity leaned forward again, pointing at the freckles that laid on her face.

"H-he does? Well ah'll be! He sure sounds like a handsome feller! You've got good taste Rarity."

"I do don't I? Let see... This colt looks like you, talks like you, acts like you, walks like you.... Now that I really think about it, I'm surprised he isn't actually you."

Applejack's heart began to pound. Rarity was a very smart girl, one whose intellect shouldn't be challenged so easily. Maybe Applejack was right from the beginning. This was a really bad idea. Rarity was about to figure out everything almost instantly. In fact, she probably already had everything figured out right now. What was Applejack going to do? What if Rarity began to freak out? Grossed out of her mind that she never wanted to see Applejack ever again? Applejack couldn't stand the thought. Her hands shook as she looked up at Rarity who never broke her stare.

He voice trembled. "Ah-ah'll have to meet him sometime."

"Oh of course, sometime soon. I'm afraid he's leaving in a day or so. I'll have to ask."

Applejack rose from the ground and swept off the grass from her knees and pants. "We'll Rarity ah hate to cut it short but ah do have to get back to trainin' with Rainbow. Can't lose the farm to Flim and Flam." She held out her hand so that she could help Rarity up from the ground.

"Oh! We'll yes alright I do suppose I should go back to the Boutique, I do have lots of orders to fill." She took Applejack's hand and rose up from the ground, her muzzle bumping into her chin. Rarity panicked, putting her hand up to Applejack's chin and rubbed it softly as she apologized.

"Oh-oh I'm sorry dear I didn't mean to-"

Applejack let out a small chuckle. "Its alright, sugar cube. No harm done." She smiled and looked her in the eyes, noticing a light blush was across the unicorns cheeks. "How bout you, are you alright?"

"Hmm? Oh-yes thank you for asking." Rarity said pushing herself out of her split second day dream. The two let go, and as Applejack walked away they occasionally looked back at one another. Rarity packed up her picnic and walked back to her boutique, as Applejack went back to train with Dash for the rest of the day.
