Chapter Seven "A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words"

'Is Rainbow Dash gay?'

It was an age old question several have asked Applejack over the years. Yes, Rainbow wasn't the most feminine mare, never paying romance any attention, but the farmpony knew all it would take was the right stallion to spark her interest.He'd have to be patient enough to tolerate Dashie's bull-headed nature. Plus, with one as fast, strong, and athletic as Rainbow, that special somepony would have to match, if not surpass, her on all counts. More importantly, he'd have to be a nice fellow since the pegasus had little to no tolerance for jerks and bullies. Last but not least, he needed to be supportive. Rainbow Dash was the Element of Loyalty, and while she would never admit it outright, she longed for a little support from somepony, whether it was an open ear that would listen or a shoulder for her to lean on during times of hardship.It was a tall order, almost impossible for most eyes, but Applejack stole a glance by her barn, spotting the very pony that filled the stated qualifications. However, the blonde burst into laughter once she found he wasn't alone.Rainbow Dash, the biggest tomboy in Equestria, was curled beside her best friend, as well as Applejack’s, Peter Pony Parker- both fast asleep. Applejack smiled. This was a pony they shared, forming a herd with. He sat upright, his back against the wall as drool escaped from the side of his mouth, and Rainbow's head rested comfortably on his lap. They were cuddling, at least as close as two ponies were going to get. Although, upon closer inspection, Applejack found an alarming sight. Despite both Peter and Rainbow being in a deep slumber, their hooves remained intertwined, perhaps out of instinct.Unfortunately, before Applejack could hope to capitalize on the situation, Rainbow Dash began to stir, stretching her limbs overhead. If the pegasus were to notice anypony, she would have surely overreacted, but maybe she would react honestly if nopony was around. Not wanting to waste such an opportunity, the blonde ducked behind her cart of apples, all while keeping as quiet as possible. Rainbow's rose irises fluttered opened, widening once her vision cleared as well as Peter's image.The pegasus shifted her head, searching for any traces of somepony while maintaining her current position. She turned back to Peter with a sweet smile. Though it was brief, Rainbow planted a kiss on his cheek before shifting her gaze back to the scenery, making certain nopony saw her act of taboo. Finally, Dash nuzzled back into Peter's side, reached down for his hoof, and resumed her afternoon nap. After a few moments, Peter murmured in his sleep, but instead of waking, he only pulled Rainbow closer.Dash didn't seem to mind, evident by her flushed grin.Applejack giggled. Surely, a picture was worth a thousand words. Sadly, Trixie thought the same thing. The unicorn appeared from behind the barn with a camera, taking several shots of the couple before galloping around the corner. Rainbow flipped to her hooves, blushing as she struggled to recollect her senses. Trixie’s pompous laughter echoed across the vicinity, and Dash took flight, screaming several expletives as she pursued the unicorn. Peter lazily stirred to life, shrugging before falling back into his oblivious slumber. Applejack exhaled and shook her head. This was a moment she would have to take to her grave, at least in order to avoid a chastising from Rainbow Dash.At the very least, this should silence her critics.
