//-------------------------------------------------------// Keeping A Promise -by Twinkletail- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 Applejack groaned as she dragged her hooves into the house. It had been ages since she'd had to work out in the orchard until this late, but with Big Macintosh laid up again, she had to work harder than ever. Her exhaustion was quite evident as she entered the house, head hung low and dripping with sweat. She didn't even bother with food; she was too exhausted to be hungry. She needed rest, and she needed it, as her little sister would say, RIGHT NOOOOW. AJ counted the steps as she dragged herself up them. 9, 10, 11, 12. Twelve steps. Twelve...why did that number sound familiar? AJ turned the doorknob to her room as she thought about it. The realization came to her quite quickly, as she was met with Rarity lying on her bed, posed seductively atop the comforter. "Good evening, my love," Rarity said, batting her eyelashes. "It's the twelfth, and you know what that means, do you not?" "Uhhh..." AJ muttered, trying to play dumb. Unfortunately for her, Rarity saw right through it. Or perhaps it was fortunately, as she would have likely been quite annoyed if AJ had forgotten also. "Don't you try to go back on your promise, Applejack," Rarity said, grinning. "You said that if I indulged your little fantasy, you would do the same for mine, and the twelfth is the day we agreed on." AJ sighed. Everything Rarity was sayng was true, there was no doubting it. Rarity had made a big sacrifice to indulge AJ's desires last week; the idea of indulging in AJ's fantasy was not something that Rarity had looked forward to, and although she ended up having a fine time with it, it was still something that she had done for the pure purpose of making AJ happy. She owed her; of this there was no doubt. But she was so exhausted... "Cain't it be another night?" AJ asked. "Ah'm plum tuckered out..." Rarity narrowed her eyes. "Do not try and get out of this, Applejack," Rarity said. "A promise is a promise. And I am positive you'll enjoy it as well." "Rarity..." Applejack said. Her sentence was interrupted by an exhausted groan as she sat down on the bed. "Ah jus' spent all day plowin' the fields. Ah dunno if'n Ah got it in me ta plow you too." "Applejack!" Rarity gasped. "Such vernacular is unfit to be used towards a lady such as myself!" "Sorry," AJ said, rolling her eyes. "But ya gotta understand, Ah'm jus' real tired, an'..." AJ looked into Rarity's eyes. Those deep blue eyes spoke volumes to the farmer. Rarity wanted her so badly right now, and honestly, AJ wanted her right back. Applejack sighed once more. "Alright, Rare," AJ said. "But s'gotta be quick...Ah dunno if'n Ah got much energy left in me fer any kinda marathon." Rarity smiled a satisfied smile and pecked AJ on the cheek. She then tilted her head in confusion as AJ leaned over her to the dresser drawer and opened it. AJ rummaged around until she found what she was looking for; a rather large strap-on. "Well, let's get on with this," AJ said, fiddling with the straps. "So Ah reckon Ah'm wearin' this t'night?" Rarity gasped. "Applejack!" Rarity said, frowning. "I am a LADY, you know! And being as this is supposed to be my fantasy, I would appreciate just a bit of sensitivity towards my needs, rather than just 'getting on with this,' as you would say!" AJ groaned again. "Rare, Ah don't got time fer..." AJ started, but a look from Rarity silenced her. A promise was a promise, after all. "Now, please retrieve the sky blue ribbons from the top drawer of my desk over there," Rarity said. "The ribbons? Really?" AJ said, restraining the urge to facehoof. Rarity nodded eagerly. AJ sighed. "Whatever ya say, Rare." The farmer opened the drawer and pulled out a spool of blue ribbon, then turned to Rarity. "No, no, no!" Rarity said. "That is -ocean- blue. I asked for -sky- blue." "Rarity..." AJ moaned. "This is my fantasy, and must be perfect!" Rarity insisted. "And you promised!" AJ sighed, then placed the spool back in the drawer, taking out the sky blue spool in its place. She returned to the bed and went through the somewhat-familiar motions of tying Rarity to the bedposts. She lingered a bit on Rarity's hind hooves as she tied them. "Ah ah ah," Rarity chastised. "Tonight is dedicated to my interests, not yours." "Right..." AJ said. She finished tying Rarity up, then reached once again for the strap-on. "No no no!!" Rarity cried. "Not yet! This is a very detailed process!" AJ gritted her teeth, then closed her eyes and calmed herself a bit. "Rarity, Ah worked mah plot off t'day," AJ said. "Ah'm 'bout ta drop any minute now. Cain't we jus' go with what we got?" Rarity shook her head vehemently. "This is MY fantasy, Applejack," Rarity said evenly. "Now, here is your script." "Script?!" Applejack nearly shouted. "Rare, Ah don't got time fer this, Ah'm more worn out than Granny Smith's favorite sweater." Rarity began to pout. "...Very well, Applejack," Rarity said, looking morose. "I understand. You have time when it is for your needs, when the Element of Generosity gives of herself to allow you to be happy, but when I ask for one night for me..." "No no no no," AJ said, defeated. "Stop that. Ah'll do this fer ya, love." Rarity smiled and levitated the script over to Applejack, who took it with a slight roll of her eyes. "Let's jus' try ta get through it a lil' quickly, alright?" Rarity just smiled and indicated the door with a nod of her head. "You shall enter after I say my first line," Rarity said. AJ raised a brow, then decided not to question it and simply walked out the door. Rarity waited a moment or so. "Can Ah come in yet?" AJ called. Rarity frowned. "It would not be believable for you to enter so soon after leaving!" Rarity called back. AJ restrained the urge to yell at Rarity. She could barely see straight as she looked at the script, due to her fatigue, but she had to fulfill her promise. It wouldn't be right not to. "Oh!" Rarity called. "And put this on!" AJ was nearly hit by a bag of clothing that Rarity levitated outside the room. AJ took a look at it and shook her head. "Seriously, Rare?" AJ asked. "Prooooooomise~" Rarity responded. AJ sighed and began putting the outfit on. "Ahem...oh my, I am so hungry!" Rarity said, for that was AJ's cue. AJ trudged into the room, wearing a white baseball cap and carrying a pizza box on her back. She looked at her script. "Uh...hello, ma'am," Applejack read off the paper, with all the enthusiasm of a box of hair. "Ah'm...uh...here ta give ya this p...pizza." "Wonderful, wonderful!" Rarity said, beaming. "But oh my! I cannot believe the predicament you have caught me in!" AJ looked at her paper for her lines. "Mebbe we can take adve...advantage of this," AJ read. "This pizza did come with...oh gosh, Rare, seriously? Ah don't got time fer..." "Read it!" Rarity stage-whispered. AJ sighed and shook her head. "...This pizza did come with extra sausage," AJ said, mentally facehooving. Rarity giggled. "Oh, but perhaps I shall enjoy the pizza later," Rarity said, squirming a little and spreading her hind legs so AJ could have a full-on view. "Perhaps you would like a delicious meal first?" AJ yawned, which nearly caused Rarity to yell at her, but she did not. After all, yelling was not part of her fantasy. Well, at least not until later. "Ah'd love that, ma'am," AJ read. "Trot excitedly over to Rarity." "Those are stage directions, darling," Rarity said with a smirk. "Oh, right," AJ said, yawning. She trotted as excitedly as her fatigue would allow her to the bed. Rarity smiled down at her as she brought herself up to Rarity. AJ gave Rarity's lower belly a nuzzle, eliciting a light pleasured sound from her. AJ felt her eyelids drooping, but she couldn't stop now. She lapped at Rarity's lower belly, biting lightly and causing a happy moan from her love. AJ would have normally spent a little longer on the foreplay, but at this point, she honestly wasn't sure how much more energy she had left in her. She traced her tongue downwards until it reached its destination. Rarity gasped sharply, a gasp that slowly turned into a happy "Mmmm~" "Oh my...pizza mare, you tease..." Rarity said, her chest heaving as AJ did her work, pressing her tongue deep into her. Rarity squirmed against her restraints, panting and moaning cutely with each lap. This felt so good, and she never wanted it to end, a feeling which only exacerbated her confusion and annoyance when she felt Applejack just stop what she was doing. "Applejack?" Rarity said tentatively, craning her neck up and looking down her body towards her love. Applejack had warned her numerous times that she didn't have time for all of this, and this was made evident by the fact that AJ had just fallen asleep in the middle of her performance. Rarity sighed lightly. "Well...you tried for me, Applejack," Rarity said, using her magic to untie her ribbons. "Sleep well, darling." She glanced down at Applejack, and noticed that she had started to snore. She noticed the vibrations of AJ's muzzle as she snored. "Hm...perhaps we could make something of this after all," Rarity said with a smirk as she shifted her body back down to meet AJ.
