Chapter 5: AJ's Mistake

Applejack finally wiped the last few tears from her eyes, having been doing nothing but crying while hiding deep in the apple orchard. 'Stupid Applejack, of course he’s going to move on and find some other pony! That’s what you get for not being honest with him when he first told you!

She sighs, standing up and walking over to a small stream nearby and splashes the cold water on her face. She stares sadly at the rough reflection of herself. ‘But… but all those nights I spent with him… what I did for him… surely that must have let him know I felt something for him.’

A drop of water lands on the tip of Applejack’s nose, causing her to look up at the sky. Clouds had formed above her without her realizing it, and it had begun to slowly rain. She takes one step back towards the barn, but then stops. “Ah can’t go back there yet.” she says to herself. Instead, she walks the other way and heads to the center of Ponyville. She walks into the only tavern in the small town, The Phoenix, which is occupied mostly by colts and stallions trying to relax after a hard day of labor, and the odd mare trying to shamelessly flirt with the male patrons. A few eyes are turned, surprised to see Applejack enter. Normally she only comes to deliver barrels of her hard apple cider, and Big Mac was known to be an occasional patron.

Applejack takes up a seat at the end of the bar, and the barpony comes greets her. “Hey there AJ, didn’t know that we were getting any more deliveries of cider. I thought the season was done already.”

“It is.” she replied. “Ah ain’t here for that. Ah need a drink. Something strong.”

The barpony looked concerned, never once seeing the pony touch anything more than a few sips of her own cider for quality testing. But he knew better than to pry into her personal life, instead reaching for a bottle behind him. “Sure, here, try this. It’s what your brother usually gets. Now just be careful, it’s an awful stro-“

Applejack knocked back the shot of liquor without hesitance. The strong alcohol burned her throat as it went down, but she overcame the urge to violently cough and keep the drink down. The barpony still managed to notice the trouble she seemed to have with the drink. “Woah there, maybe you should try something a bit more tame.” he says.

Applejack stops him. “No… no, it’s fine. Ah’ll take the bottle.” she says, pushing the amount of bits she needs on the counter towards the barpony. He takes them and slides the bottle towards her, casting one last concerned look at her before having to go off to help his other customers.

Applejack sits alone, lost in her thoughts while taking the occasional shot of liquor. A few stallions eye the orange pony sitting alone, and some of the gruffer ones dare each other to muster up the courage to go ask her for a quick roll in the hay. None of them prove to have the courage, and they let her be. All except one. A dark grey pegasus sitting with his friends boasted that he could easily get with her. His friends laugh and start placing bets on whether he has the guts to even approach her. He smiles and glances at his target, and finally gets up and walks over.

Applejack has nearly finished the whole bottle of liquor, and even though the large amount of almost pure alcohol spreads warmth throughout her entire body, another kind of heat starts to creep up on her. It started as just an occasional tingle in her loins, but now it had evolved into a throbbing heat encompassing almost her entire lower torso. ‘Gosh darnit, not now!’ her mind groans as she feels her heat cycle coming on. Her hoof wanders down to her crotch and she gasps as she realizes just how hot she has become in such a short time. Drinking enough liquor to get even Big Mac drunk didn't help the situation either. 'Ah need to find somethin' to fix this. Or somepony...' she thought to herself. She thought of going back home, but quickly tried to banish the thoughts of that from her mind, mostly due to a certain pony. 'No, ah can't go to him! He has Rainbow Dash now.' she angrily thought to herself.

An audible 'ahem' startled Applejack, and she turned around to find a dark grey pegasus standing by her. "Hey there, beautiful. The name's Thunderlane. And who might you be?" the pegasus asked cockily.

Appledash had dealt with his type of pony before, and turned away from him. "Sorry, ah ain't interested." she said coldly.

"Oh come on, baby. I can't leave a pony such as yourself all alone without some company." he pressed, moving up closer to her. "The least you could do is tell me your name."

She glared at him, annoyed that he wouldn't give up. "Mah name's Applejack, if ya have to know. Now quit buggin' me, ah gotta go anyway." she snapped, hopping down off of the bar stool. She tried to maintain her composure as she headed to the door, but the alcohol started to take its toll, causing her to stumble and almost fall. She gasped as she felt somepony grab her, stopping her from hitting the floor. Looking up, Thunderlane had quickly flown over and caught her, one hoof a bit too close to her crotch for her liking. "Ah'm fine, thanks. You can let go." she stubbornly says.

"If that's your way of saying thank you, then you’re welcome." he says. He does remove his hooves from her body, but he takes his time, slowly dragging them against her body. Applejack's legs almost give out from the caressing, and although she tries her best to stifle any noise, a small whimper escapes her lips. She pleads to herself that the pegasus didn't hear it, but he did, a smile creeping onto his face.

Backing away from him, she manages to overcome her body's urge to throw herself at the stallion. "Uh, yeah, thanks. Ah... ah gotta get home righ' now." she says, finally getting to the door. She again tries to unsteadily trot on home, but her hooves refuse to cooperate and she stumbles again and again. Thunderlane follows her out of the bar, his friends cheering him on and laughing.

He easily catches up to the drunk earth pony, again grabbing onto her body. "Look, Miss Applejack, you really are in absolutely no shape to be walking home alone. At least allow me to escort such a fine, beautiful mare home."

She tries to glare at him again, but between her heat becoming worse and her intoxication, she gives him more of a sad, lost look. "Okay, fine, ya'll can walk with me back. But don't ya dare try ANY funny business, or ah'll buck ya straight to the moon, ya hear!" she finally gives in.

Chuckling, Thunderlane agrees, "I promise." he says. Under his breath, he mutters, "Though a good bucking from you doesn't sound too bad, either."

Even with the strong pegasus helping her along, Applejack barely manages to keep on walking, and she's forced to admit to herself that there was no way she could make it home in her current state, but at least it had stopped raining. Thunderlane was carrying her more than helping her walk, but he didn't mind. Her body constantly rubbed up against his, and his hooves were free to explore her body with almost no protest from Applejack. His caresses began slowly, but soon he grew bolder, his hooves finding their way to her flanks, slowly moving down to her stomach, and then down further, getting closer to their goal...

Thunderlane almost gasped with surprise as he feels a strong heat radiating from her special spot under her tail. He quickly realizes that she must be deep in heat, and the countless possibilities of the fun he could have with this mare begin to dash through his mind. To test his theory, he begins to move the hoof by her crotch in small circles, each pass moving his hoof closer to her treasure.

Applejack feels his hoof moving lower and lower, and she begins to realize what his intention is. She tries to shout at him to stop, but when she opens her mouth small whimpers of pleasure come out instead. She trips from the arousing sensation and lands flat on her face, but due to Thunderlane's hoof placement, her rear stays in the air. Thunderlane backs up, and with her tail lying up across her back, he is given an unimpeded view of her glistening slit. A trickle of her love juices escapes past her lower lips and drips onto the ground, showing just how wet she is. Thunderlane couldn’t hold back anymore, his cock popping to full size in mere seconds. He reaches out with his hoof and spreads her open slightly.

Applejack gasps out loud as his hoof traces the outline of her soaking sex, her body pressing back against his hoof, wanting more. Much more. Thunderlane eventully moves his hoof away, and replaces it with his massive erection, mounting the desperately horny earth pony.

Feeling the sudden weight on her back and something else prodding her sopping wet hole, she musters what sense she has left for one last desperate plea. “P-please, not… not here. Not out here.”

Thunderlane looks around, noticing that he’s about to mount her in the middle of the road. It’s one of the more remote roads in Ponyville, not likely to be used at this time of night. But the risk of being caught is still too much of a risk he’s willing to take. Reluctantly dismounting the panting pony, he helps her up and guides her into the bushes, finding a relatively secluded spot close by. He pushes her to the ground and prepares to mount her again, but she still resists. “W-wait! A-ah can’t do this.” she weakly says.

Getting annoyed, Thunderlane shows his throbbing cock to Applejack. “Oh, come now, Applejack. See what you did to me? You can’t leave me like this. It’s your fault, and you have to fix it. Besides, you know you want it. You want it badly, don’t you?” he says, moving closer to her.

With the alcohol still running strongly through her body, she is unable to think, taking his words as truth. “Y…yeah. It’s mah fault. Ah want… ah want it.” she says.

Thunderlane lays back on the ground as AJ walks up to him. “That’s it. That’s a good pony. How are you going to fix the bad thing you’ve done?” he slyly says.

Applejack lowers her head and begins to lick his cock and he groans in pleasure as her warm tongue contrasts with the cool night air. He soon wants more, so he grasps her head with his hoof and guides her mouth to the tip of his cock. She instinctively opens her mouth to take in the throbbing cock and moans as she does, but Thunderlane keeps a hold of her head and forces it down further. Applejack begins to gag and tries to resist. Though she has taken in almost the entire length of some other pony, it had always been at her pace, but this pony here didn’t seem to care for her safety.

Applejack tries to tell the grey pony to wait and slow down, but it comes out just a mumble. Thinking that she is moaning in pleasure, Thunderlane smiles. “Oh, you like it rough, you little whorse? I didn’t know you were such a slut.” He pushes her head down harder, and his strength proves to be greater than hers, her throat bulging as his cock begins to disappear into her mouth and toward her stomach. Applejack tries to keep on struggling, her hooves weakly hitting Thunderlane on his legs, but before long his entire cock has been swallowed by her. He holds her down, ignoring her ragged breaths and occasional gag.

After what seems like an eternity, he finally draws her head back up. Applejack almost has his cock out of her mouth, thinking he’s done, but as he draws to the last few inches, he forces her back down violently. Forcing her head up and down, he continues to force himself down her throat, not caring how she’s holding up.

Panic starts to set into Applejack’s mind as she can’t breathe at all, only grasping the occasional small breath of air when his cock slides out enough. Realizing she is currently powerless, she braces herself and tries to keep from passing out from the lack of oxygen, hoping that he cums soon. She gets her wish, and Thunderlane shoves his dick down her throat one last time as he grunts, spewing his thick cum into Applejack. As he finishes cumming, his grip loosens and Applejack is finally able to free herself from the now-softening cock, gasping for air and coughing. Thunderlane lays back in bliss from his massive orgasm, but as Applejack recovers from her asphyxiation her body reminds her that she still needs some relief also. She is finally able to regain her normal breathing rate, but as she looks up to see what’s going to happen next she sees Thunderlane spread his wings and preparing to leave.

“Wait a darn second, where the hay do ya think ya’ll are goin?” she shouts.

Sexually satisfied, he sees no reason to stick around any longer, and anyways, it was a long flight home to Cloudsdale. The grey pony takes off and looks back at her. “Thanks for the fun, sweetie. We should do this again sometime soon!” he says.

Applejack curses at him as he flies off and leaves her alone in the bushes. Her hoof returns to her crotch, still finding it burning with heat. Looking at the sky one more time, there’s no sign of Thunderlane returning. With no other choices, she admits defeat and spreads her hind legs, reaching up with her hoof and begins to rub her crotch. She tries to imagine a stallion, any stallion, mounting her and slowly sliding his massive cock into her, dousing her unbearable heat with his rod. She moans loudly, her hoof beginning to rub faster as she clops out in the open, hoping she finishes before anypony walks by.

She soon finds herself getting close to her peak, but something still holds her back. In her mind, the faceless pony thrusts faster and faster, and back in reality her hoof moves as quick as it can. She is so close… but what is it that’s missing? Applejack finally finds the missing piece, the face in her head coming into view. She tried to deny it, but as she finally admitted to herself that the pony she saw was the one she wanted, no, needed, she threw her head back in ecstasy as her orgasm hit her like a speeding train. Her legs gave out and her body shook violently as pure bliss and relief washed over her.

She finally removed her hoof from her pussy, both covered in her slick lubricant. She lay panting on the ground for almost ten minutes before she could shakily get back up on her hooves. Covered in sweat, mud, and her bodily fluids, she mustered up the strength to finally make it home. Quietly slipping in, she saw that nopony else was awake. She made her way upstairs and got in the shower, the water refreshing her body after a long night. She finally stumbled to her room and fell asleep, the last thing she thought being how bad her hangover would be in the morning.

Applejack’s head didn’t feel bad when she woke up. It felt terrible. She almost thought that Big Mac had kicked her right in the head all night, and the rooster’s call as the sun rose sounded more like a stampede of buffalos right by her ears.

As her head cleared slowly, the memories of last night began to return to her. Storming down to The Phoenix, drinking almost that entire bottle… but her heart dropped like an earthpony in Cloudsdale as she started to remember what she had done with Thunderlane. “Oh my gosh, what have ah done?” she sobbed, her heart feeling like it had just been stomped on. She still felt betrayed by what Rainbow Dash and her crush had done, but they had a strong bond and feelings for each other. But what she did last night… there was no way that Applejack could forgive herself.

She hated herself for her actions, for what she had done. She dashed to the door and raced for a certain bedroom door, even leaving her trademark stetson hat. Knocking on the door, she called out. “Hey, you awake? Ah gotta talk to ya.” No pony answered, and she pushed open the door.

The room was vacant, so she raced downstairs, finding just her family. They tried to say good morning to her, but she cut them off, desperately asking them if a certain pegasus was still nearby.

“Nnope.” was the only reply she got. Before any of them could ask what was going on, Applejack raced off to the fields in hope that he would be there. But the acres of trees revealed to be empty also, no pony in sight.

Applejack began to feel sick in her stomach, and races into town, asking everypony she passes by if they had seen who she was searching for. Her search eventually leads her to Twilight, who delivers more bad news. Twilight explains that she had only told Rainbow Dash that the missing pegasus had confessed his feelings for Applejack, but hadn’t told her how she felt about him also. She also informed Applejack of his visit to her library the day before, but he had left and wasn’t sure where he could have possibly gone.

Thanking Twilight, Applejack wandered off, unsure of where to go next. She felt better that Rainbow Dash hadn’t intentionally stolen her secret love, but felt worse about herself, mentally kicking herself knowing that if she had just been honest from the beginning, all this chaos would have never occurred.

‘Some element of honesty I turned out to be.’ she thought to herself.

With no other leads or ideas, Applejack turns to go home. She’s so lost in her own thoughts, she doesn’t hear somepony calling her name.

“-plejack? Applejack. APPLEJACK!”

Applejack nearly jumps as Rarity screams her name, finally getting her attention. “Oh mah gosh, sorry Rarity! Ah didn’t hear yah there.”

“Well, I’m just glad you finally acknowledged me before I screamed myself mute.” the white unicorn says, tossing her mane back. “It’s quite uncivil for everypony to keep ignoring me when I try speaking to them. You ignoring my calls is bad enough, but I also had that pegasus that lives with you completely ignore me at the train station yesterday.”

“The what?!” Applejack shouts out. She grasps Rarity tightly, her face pressed against hers. “Where did ya say ya saw him?”

“C-calm down, Applejack.” Rarity says nervously, not sure what had gotten her friend so excited. “Well, there I was, walking back from picking up my order of fabrics from the6 o’clock train from Canterlot, when I see him getting on the last train out of Ponyville for the day. I try to get his attention to say hello, but he ignored my greetings and…”

But Applejack didn’t bother to listen to the rest, instead racing for the train station. Rarity looked completely lost and confused. “Hmph… first they all ignore me, then they can’t have the decency to wait until I’m finished speaking. Does nopony have any manners anymore?”

Applejack was able to confirm with the ticket master that her target had indeed boarded the train yesterday, but he couldn’t remember where he had been headed. Applejack pleaded for him to think harder, but it proved useless. With no other choice, she slowly walked home, the tears from her eyes not stopping the entire way.

Her family saw her walk into the barn upset and crying, but she refused to speak to any of them, instead shutting herself in her room. Big Mac called over her five closest friends, but it proved pointless. The only pony she spoke to was Rainbow Dash, but all she said was “Ah’m sorry” through the closed door.
