The alarm rang loudly and Rainbow Dash awoke immediately. She glanced at the clock, wide-eyed; it was 4:00 a.m. She flew out of bed and rushed for Sweet Apple Acres with one thing on her mind: she was getting her some apple cider! Today was the day, the day that she'll finally taste the sweet apple cider she craved for, and nopony was going to get in her way, not even Pinkie.

The sky was pitch black, and the stars hung bright in the sky. The cold air nipped at Rainbow's skin as the wind rushed through her fur. She glance downward at the quiet village below her. She was alarmed to see a few ponies leaving their houses and making their way to Sweet Apple Acres as well. She picked up speed, her heart racing, she was determined to get what she wanted. She only feared that she might not be the first pony there. What if there was a line? What if the line was long, like, extremely long? A long line this early, there couldn't be. But she picked up her pace still.

She finally arrived and saw that there was a line. It wasn't a terribly long line, but still, it pissed her off a little that she wasn't going to be first. She landed at the end of the line and counted nine ponies ahead of her. One of them, of course, was Pinkie.

"Hi Dashie! Isn't this fun? Waiting in line for Applejacks super delicious apple cider? Aren't you so excited?!"

"Yeah Pinkie, I just hope somepony doesn't buy all the cider before the rest of Ponyville can get any."

"Me too," said Pinkie. "I'd hate to not get any, I've been saving up all year, and I plan on getting a lot!."

Rainbow rolled her eyes. Pinkie'll probably buy a whole barrel of the stuff like the obliviously selfish pony she was. But Rainbow was still excited, she has also been saving up for this all year, and she planned on blowing a lot of it on this cider.

As time went on, the line was building behind Rainbow Dash. Sweet Apple Acres wasn't going to be selling it's cider for another two and a half hours. She stood there, cold and tired, and noticed a dull pain in her bladder. She cursed in her mind, with all the rush, she forgot to take a piss before she left. "I can't believe this," she thought to herself, "I'm not going to miss this for anything, there's no way I'm going to miss the best cider in all of Equestria just because I have to take a piss." She stood shifting her weight from side to side, letting the pressure temporarily ease down.

An hour goes by and the sun is just peaking over the horizon. The cold air is making Dash's predictiment all the more worse. She shuddered. Meanwhile, Pinkie was trying to make conversation with the preoccupied pony.

"Boy, it sure is chilly out here, huh Dashie? Luckily I brought my scarf! Look, it's pink just like me!."

"That's great Pinkie, hey, how much longer 'til they open up?" Dash asked uneasily.

"Not for another hour and a half. If you ask me, I think the waiting is the funnest part!"

Rainbow sunk back into her thoughts. She couln't be the only pony who was in this situation. She looked toward the back of the line to see if she can notice any other pony who may be wrestling with a full bladder. Nopony was fidgeting very noticeably. She looked ahead. "I can so hold it." she thought doubtfully. A worried expression was plastered on her face. She wanted this bad, no matter how much she needed to piss, she knew, she couldn't leave this line.

Forty-five minutes have passed and the pain in her bladder has been intensifying consistently due to the cold air squeezing her body. She could think of nothing else but her bladder, and her need to pee, and the apple cider she longed for. The sun was now about a quarter way over the horizon. The Apples were up and stirring around in their house, getting ready for a day of vending. Rainbow Dash was getting real fidgety. She looked ahead at Pinkie who seemed to be standing very still, too still for Pinkie Pie.

"Hey Pinkie!" Rainbow Dash yelled, "How're you holding up?"

Pinkie looked back at Rainbow Dash. "Just fine Dashie! How are you doin'?"

Rainbow's cheeks turned a deep red as she answered, "Actually Pinkie, I kinda have to pee..." She felt embarassed saying that out loud, she knew she wouldn't improve her situation just by addressing it.

"Don't you have one of these?" Pinkie lifted her leg to show a plastic tube with fluids running through it leading from her little pink pee-hole to a bag strapped to the other side of her body. Rainbow saw that the bag was filled with piss. Pinkie lowered her leg. Rainbow's jaw dropped and her heart sunk. As much as she hated to admit it to herself, that was a good idea.

Pinkie Pie turned back around.

"Crafty ass Pinkie." Rainbow thought, pouting. The other ponies moved slowly away from the pink pony in disgust.

After a half hour, the sun was half way over the horizon. The Apple family was setting up their booth and getting everything ready. The line extended back about a mile. Rainbow Dash's bladder was extremely full. She didn't care though, she was getting her cider. As time ticked by painfully slow, the line was finally beginning to move. The pain in Rainbow's abdomen completely left her mind as she took her first step towards the booth. She was eager to get up there. The line moved smoothly along. Once Pinkie was up there, the Apples had already gone through a whole barrel.

Finally, Rainbow Dash was next. Her mouth was watering as her body involentarily clenched up, preventing her bladder from releasing. She paid for the cider and drank the first cup. It was blissful, better than anything she has ever tasted. She moaned as the flavor filled her mouth, and overtook her mind. She needed more. She bought several large mugs of the stuff and drank them on the spot. She even planned on purchasing some to hold onto and store. She gulped down several mouths full of the tangy, bold flavored cider. Her thirst for the stuff was unquenchable.

As she was drinking another mug, she felt a sharp pain in her bladder and her pee-hole burned. Tears blurred her vision and she moaned loud in painful desperation. She clenched her crotch with her hoof and felt a hot liquid squirt out of her pussy. She gasped and whimpered in pain. Everypony was staring at her as she began to tremble. Pee was continuously squirting out into her hoof and seeped into the dirt. Warm tears ran down her cheeks. Her whole face burned in humiliation, her hot ears hear the murmuring of other ponies. Applejack's voice was heard in the distance.

"Do you need to use our bathroom, sugarcube?"

"Yes I do!" Rainbow cried out.

But it was too late for Rainbow Dash, her pee began to rush out of her like a torrent. Clenching could not stop her contracting, spasming bladder from pushing the pee out. Her legs and hoof was being coated with steaming hot liquid. The smell of her own piss filled her nostrils as she whimped irratically. Tears flowed down her hot cheeks. She sat there, shaking and peeing uncontrollably. All she can do is look down at the growing puddle on the floor, her shame had paralyzed her. Once her stream subsided, she slowly lowered her hoof from her crotch. Her pee-hole released one last squirt. She couldn't believe her situation, she felt like she was in some horrible dream. She looked up meekly and felt ashamed and tired. Her tears were spilling out onto the wet dirt under her. She began balling uncontrollably, very aware she was making a scene. All eyes were on her.

Applejack ran to her friend's side to comfort her.

"Come with me Dashie, let's get you cleaned up."

Applejack led Rainbow Dash into her house and left her family to tend to the rest of the customers.

Applejack led Rainbow into her bathroom and drew her a bath. The sound of the running water caused Rainbow's bladder to fill up once again. It was sore, it hurt her to hold her pee in. She wanted to tell Applejack, but the words were locked up in her throat. She held her legs together and closed her eyes as pee started flowing down her legs. It made a loud pidder padder on the hard tile floor. Applejack looked over at her and looked at the yellow puddle forming on her floor. She noticed the shame written on her face.

"Oh sugarcube, are you okay?"

Rainbow tries to stop her flow, but it's no use; her stream stops and starts continuously.

"It's alright Rainbow, just let it out."

She does, and the hard stream echoes throughout the bathroom. Once she finished, she snifled and looked up at Applejack with wet eyes.

"Come on Dashie, get in the tub and I'll get this cleaned up."

Rainbow Dash steps into the warm, soapy bath tub. Her body skakes as the coldness leaves her flesh. Her eyelids become heavy and carries about as if in a trance-like state. Applejack had gotten a towel to soak up Dash's puddle on the floor.

"I'm sorry AJ." Rainbow says quietly as Applejack finishes cleaning up. She sits at the edge of the tub and looks soothingly into Rainbow's eyes.

"Say no more sugarcube." She smiles, almost lovingly as she looks at Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow looks into AJ's eyes and she feels her heart sink. She feels warm all over.

"Thank you for getting me cleaned up." Rainbow said shakily.

Applejack leaned into Rainbow Dash and kissed her on the side of her lips. Rainbow closed her eyes and kissed her back lightly. She broke the kiss and whispered quietly in her ear.

"You don't need to be ashamed sweetheart, you're safe in here."

Rainbow opened her eyes and smiled at Applejack.

"Thanks..." She said sleepily.

Applejack stepped into the tub with Rainbow Dash. Some of the tub water splashed onto the bathroom floor. They giggled tiredly together. Applejack leaned in and gave Rainbow a loving kiss on her soft lips. Rainbow closed her eyes as she became aroused. She gave in to the kiss and moaned softly. They seperated their lips and Applejack lays atop of Rainbow's warm body, their genitals pressed against eachother. She gives her loving friend a kiss on the forehead. They both drift off to sleep.
