"Late Night Chase"

Three weeks later...

It was the dead of night and the moon was full. Rainbow Dash crept silently about a most secluded part of the Acres, her eyes darting back and forth as she looked around from the shadows. She was alone... or so it seemed.

She set foot into the open, Luna's bright moon shining down on her. She crept, appreciating the stillness of the Acres at that time of night. Normally, she'd be asleep in some cloud above, but tonight... tonight she had plans. She didn't have to be anywhere tomorrow, and neither did her company.

From the shadows of a tree not far off a lasso zipped through the air. Dash narrowly dodged it, only to have it picked up again by the skilled individual behind it, and thrown again. She took off.

The chase is where the fun always is. Rainbow couldn't see the pony stalking her, but she knew she was there. She weaved in and out of the tree line, getting ready to take flight. The lasso came for her again, only to be tangled. She was getting good at evading. The Pegasus took flight, but never above the treetops for this.

At the end of the field, Dash stopped and took a breath. Even though she was chased for a minute at best, it took a lot out of her, but she was ready for more. Having already been out there for two hours, she was sure she'd make sun up this time... a mere three hours away.

She walked in the direction of the neighboring field and took cover again, waiting... for a sound, for movement. Nothing. She waited twenty minutes in the shade, watching... only to be bored. She knew if she fell asleep, she would be found. She took advantage of the echo of the wide orchard:

"Come on! I'm getting bored here!"

Silence was her immediate response, as she expected... but then she heard a voice. Could have been close, could have been far. It uttered a mere three words:

"Just you wait."

The Pegasus smiled once again, taking off like a shot. The sound of her hooves hitting the dirt filled the air. She heard the laughter of the pony with the lasso as once again it was tossed, and she dodged it.

"Maybe I'm getting too good for you!" She yipped, trotting backwards

"We'll have to see..." Replied the thin, deep voice in the shadows.

The lasso was thrown yet again. Rainbow Dash was anticipating it... but she was anticipating seeing it first before reacting. She expected it to come fro the left and it came from the far right, snagging her around the waist as she trotted on her hind legs in perpetration to take off a few feet. All she saw was the rope obscuring the light for one brief flash. She'd been caught in that microscopic moment between defense and action... and there wasn't a thing she could do about it once the lasso was around her waist. The farm pony reeled her in.

"I'm still the best, RD," Apple Jack said, chuckling as Rainbow involuntarily made her descent towards the tree where she was hiding. "You've never lasted the night out here with me huntin' ya, and you never will... unless you're giving up on purpose."

"That was one time, Apple Jack!" Rainbow Dash thundered, objecting to the best of her ability.

It made no difference... foot by foot, Rainbow Dash was pulled in.

"Here we are," Apple Jack said, throwing the rope around Rainbow again to wrap her up like a cocoon. "Now, what do you have to say for yerself?"

"Um..." Rainbow was pulled to the ground and immobilized as she spoke. "Hi...?"

"Ah think I'm gonna first have ma way with ya," Apple Jack said, her shadowy figure straddling over her cyan marefriend so that their personal bits were in direct contact. She began to rock and gyrate her hips in a deliberate, pleasant motion... generating lots of friction. "Ride ya for a bit now that you're down... work off that pent-up energy."

Rainbow Dash just looked up and smiled. Even in the pale moon light, Apple Jack could see her cyan marefriend's red cheeks. The two locked lips, ending up playing swords with their tongues for a solid half minute, before breaking away in a sloppy mess of saliva.

"Ah love ya, RD."

"I know Apple Jack... you've told me like a thousand times this past month."

Apple Jack didn't respond. She kept gyrating her hips and the pleasure kept building between them both.

"Oh, I love you, too!" Rainbow Dash winced, in both pleasure and embarrassment.

It didn't take long for them to share a powerful, passionate, loving moment. Both mares -- one bound, the other in charge -- collapsed on the ground after they found release together. There was quite the sticky mess. Apple Jack reached down with her hoof to Rainbow's depleted nethers, grabbed a hoof-full, and brought it to her lips.

"Now that's what I'm talking about..." The farm pony chuckled. "It's starting to taste like apples... I'm thinking maybe you've been having too much cider."

"Don't you think that would make me easier to--"

Rainbow Dash didn't get to finish her thought. Apple Jack stole a kiss, the taste of Rainbow still fresh on Apple Jack's lips.

"You're there for the night you know, Rainbow," Apple Jack said, smiling, as she got up.

The farm pony began to walk, glancing back to show Rainbow her teeth one more time in the pale moon light. A moment passed and Apple Jack faded from view, the sound of her hooves began to fade as well. Rainbow Dash began to think she was serious.

"Hey! Don't leave me here!" The Pegasus shouted, trying to turn her body so she could see if Apple Jack was still even in the orchard.

"S'alright, Sugarcube," Apple Jack replied cooly. "I'm coming right back. I promise."

The Pegasus looked down at her bindings. She was tightly lassoed around the waist, her hooves bound to each other in a way that splayed her legs wide open. She was at the mercy of any pony who would come across her, though Apple Jack could be trusted... and always made this fun.

The farm pony reemerged with her saddle bags.

"Can't believe you didn't find this, Rainbow," she said. "It was right next to a tree you were standing by twice!"

"What is it?"

"Let's just call it 'insurance'. You're going to be there for a while now."

"You keep saying that and I'm not so sure I'm gunna like this... Apple Jack, what do you mean?"

"Ah ain't about to tell you.... but I'll show you."

Apple Jack stopped dead in front of Rainbow Dash. Between her shadow and the angle, Dash could hardly see what was going on. The farm pony went into her bag, slowly... pulling out an item the side of one of Twilight's spell books. It was then opened up and Dash heard a familiar sound.

Crinkle!

"Oh no," she said, as the farm pony slid the thick garment beneath her cyan rump. "Is that a diaper?"

"Ee-yup," Apple Jack said, as she pulled it up between her cyan love's legs and began taping it up. "Ah said you're there for the night... and I know bein' an athlete ya gotta go a lot, so this is what we're doing this time about that. Ah ain't lettin' ya up 'til daybreak, so get comfy."

The Pegasus grumbled, as the farm pony propped her up to seal the final tape in the back.

"Fine!" Dash pouted. She would have stamped her hoof if she could. "Where did you get these things anyways?"

"Let's just say Ah've got my sources. A few catalogs I've borrowed from happy and generous ponies we all know who have a... let's say 'penchant' for pretty, personal things. Ah didn't know they actually made diapers for full-grown mares and stallions!"

Yeah, well I did. Thought the bound mare.

Apple Jack stood back and got a good look at the job she'd done. Rainbow looked down at it, too, smelling the foal powder. The diaper looked white and thick, made of heavy-duty plastic. Rainbow didn't know this, but apple Jack had ordered the overnight variety just for her.

"They look white, but they're really pink... and quite absorbent. We're prolly gunna see if they live up to their reputation." With her saddlebag by now their sides, Apple Jack snuggled up to Rainbow Dash. "For now... let us just enjoy this fine evening looking up at the stars."

"I just can't say no to you."

"Ah know." Apple Jack kissed her marefriend on the cheek, as the two looked up and saw a shooting star in the sky.

Above them, Luna looked down from the moon and smiling. She had interfered, but by no means was that a bad thing to have done. She had made things better for them both. They were happy again. Even Pinkie, asleep in her own bed while clutching her blanket and wearing a diaper, with dreams of her family as a mere foal, was content.

The End

Author's Note

We are done! This last chapter was not originally planned, but added on later as a fun way of ending it. The original ending of having Celestia scold Luna was a bit too heavy, and I didn't want it going out on that note.

Thank you everyone for the favs and kind words, and very much for your interest in this story. It was a blast to write, at times frustrating, but I powered through it. Happy I did. Hope you've enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed bringing it to you.

On to new projects!

Peace
