FORBIDDEN LOVE

The night finally arrived, and although the filly's mind seemed to keep her awake for some time, she eventually managed to fall asleep.

“Hello, Applebloom”, a familiar voice spoke.

Applebloom snapped her eyes open and was immediately filled with rage, seeing the moon princess standing before her.

“Ah'm dreamin again, ain't Ah?”, she asked, though her voice sounded resentful.

“Yes. But--”, the alicorn began to say, only for Applebloom to hop out of her bed, rear up and buck the princess right through the wall and straight to the moon. A faint thud was heard and a dust-cloud could be seen raising up where the princess impacted.

“Stay the buck outta mah dreams!”, Applebloom nearly shrieked. “This is all your fault! If ya hadn't told me to follow mah heart, none of this would have happened!”

However, the moon princess soon re-appeared behind her.

“Feeling better? Because I only allowed that to happen once”, Luna remarked with a stern glance, her tone sounding slightly threatening as she spoke.

“Allowed it to happen or didn't know it would happen?”, the farm pony asked with a glare of her own. She walked past her and sat down. “So why the buck are ya here? If it's more advice, Ah don't need it.”

“Quite the contrary, Applebloom. You need my guidance now more than ever.”

Luna raised her head and closed her eyes in concentration. Her horn lit up with a faint blue glow, and in the next moment, the filly found herself floating above a small field.

“Where the hay am Ah?!”, she asked in a panicked tone.

She looked around and quickly took notice of something that made her eyes widen. She stared in disbelief as she watched herself and Babs run along the fields below her.

“Wh-What's goin’ on? How am Ah down there when Ah'm up here?!”

“That would be because this isn't your dream. It's hers”, the princess remarked and pointed a hoof at Babs.

The filly's eyes filled with tears upon hearing this.

“You're lyin’. Babs wouldn't dream about me and her being together”, she said, closing her eyes and turning her head away. “Not after what happened...”

“Are you so sure? Regardless, let’s watch this dream play out”, the alicorn replied and became silent.

Soon, the sounds of joyful voices could be heard:

“This is the best day of my life! I almost can't believe it's real!”, Babs said with excitement and a smile on her face, stopping running to look at Applebloom.

“Ah know! To think that we're hitched now, it's so unreal!”, Applebloom replied happily and lied down on the grass, with Babs immediately following suit.

“Say what?!”, Applebloom exclaimed in shock, snapping her eyes open to look at the dream playing out below.

Babs let out a joyful sigh. She reached over and held Applebloom in a tight embrace.

“I wish this day could last forever. I love you so much, Applebloom”, Babs said, leaning over and locking lips with the farm pony, who returned the kiss with equal passion.

“So do Ah. Ah love you too Babs...”, Applebloom replied after their lips finally separated.

Applebloom continued to watch the blissful dream play out. Her heart plummeted into the bottom of her stomach, however, when she saw the dream version of herself suddenly fade, as if it was erased from existence.

Babs sat up and looked around in confusion.

“Applebloom? Where'd you go?! Applebloom!?”, she called, getting to her all fours and continuing to look around.

Applebloom watched in horror as Babs’ dream world faded and was replaced with a nightmarish setting. Babs now sat in an open field, filled with dead flowers and dirt. She scanned the surroundings in panic.

“Hey, do somethin’! Stop her dream! It's turnin’ into a nightmare!”, Applebloom exclaimed to the moon princess, who seemed to ignore her and continued to watch silently.

“Wh-What's going on?! Applebloom, where are you? I'm scared!”, Babs cried, still searching for her lover.

Suddenly, a dream version of Applebloom appeared before her. At first, this resulted in the city filly's relief, but then...

“Ah never loved you, Babs”, the farm filly spoke, her voice cold and stern. “How could Ah? We're cousins, we're related. It's wrong! Ah only played along because Ah was bein’ nice to ya. But you took it too far, didn't ya? You tried to have sex with me!”, she suddenly shouted, looking hurt and pissed off as she kept glaring at her cousin. “How could you try to do that with your own cousin?! Do ya have the slightest lick of decency in yerself?!”

“B-But I love you, Applebloom”, Babs stammered in response, her eyes streaming with tears as she spoke. “Why can't you understand this? Don't you love me too?”

Much to the real Applebloom's horror, her dream counterpart began to laugh hysterically at her.

“Do ya hear yourself, Babs? Ya can't be serious! I love ya as mah cousin, but how the hay could Ah possibly love you like that?! Grow up, Babs. Ah never loved ya like that. Quit livin’ in a dreamworld”, she said and began to fade.

“It’s not true!”, the real Applebloom yelled as loud as she could. “Babs, it's not true! Ah love ya! Can't ya hear me?!”

However, her words seemed to be unable to reach her. The farm pony turned to look up at the moon princess, who still stood silently.

“Do somethin’! Put me in her dream! Ah know you can!”, she pleaded, grabbing Luna's leg with both hooves and shaking it violently.

“She's starting to wake”, the alicorn said in response. “Let us go back to your dream.”

She closed her eyes and concentrated. Her horn shined brightly, and after a brief flash of light, Applebloom suddenly found herself back in her own room.

“What gives?! Why the hay didn't you put me in her dream?!”, Applebloom roared at the moon princess in anger.

“Because I cannot send one pony from one dreamworld into another”, Luna replied softly.

“Why the hay would you show me that if there was nothin’ Ah could do to stop it?!”, the filly yelled, anger and rage in her getting so strong that she could barely see straight.

“Because it was something you needed to see. Why, I cannot say. Not even I can read your and her dreams that clearly”, Luna replied and sighed.

“What the hay are you talkin’ about? You're speakin’ all this hooey about readin’ dreams and such, but ya haven't told me squat as to why Ah needed to see that! Why would ya show me that? Is it fun for ya to mess with ponies’ love lives or somethin’?!”, Applebloom roared in fury, nearing the limit of her anger. If this mare stood there any longer without giving her a defining answer soon, goddess of the dream world or not, she was going to buck this alicorn to the moon as many times as it took ‘till she left her dreamworld.

“It's hard to explain. I only enter a pony's dreamworld when I sense they are in need of my guidance. I can not always see the reason why. Or why the pony needs to see what they see. The only real answer I can give you is that what you saw is what you needed to see”, Luna explained and sighed once again. “I'm sorry if my answer isn't satisfying to you, but--”

“Get out of mah dreams and never come back, ya hear?”, Applebloom said in a threatening tone, narrowing her eyes at the alicorn.

“Applebloom, please--”

“Ah said, get the buck out of mah dreams and never come back!!!”, Applebloom yelled... and after a brief confusion, she realized that she just sat up in her bed, clearly having woke up from her dream. “Consarned princess, showin’ me that...”, she mumbled aloud in a loathing tone.

She then laid back down, and eventually slipped back into an uneasy slumber.

* * *

Applebloom woke up the next morning and looked outside the window. It was pouring down in buckets of rain today.

“Perfect settin’ for a day like this...”, she remarked sourly. Letting out a depressed sigh, she laid back down in her bed.

Though Applejack was sure to bring the filly her morning breakfast, she never got out of bed to pick it up. Applebloom didn't feel like eating, she didn't feel like moving, she didn't feel like doing anything. The only thing she did was to allow the image of Babs’ heartbroken face play itself though her mind over and over, as if mentally punishing herself.

“How could Ah have been so stupid? It's not like it could have lasted anyways”, Applebloom said dejectedly after some time, turning in her bed to look outside once again. It was still raining hard.

Though the filly could hear the trotting of hooves coming towards her room, she didn't bother to turn to whoever was there now. After a short moment of silence, she could hear a heavy sigh – one that didn't belong to Applejack or Big Macintosh.

“Funny how life can throw a curve-ball at ya, isn’t it, youngin?”, she heard Granny Smith remarking aloud.

The elder mare walked over to the filly's bed and sat on the side. Applebloom, however, still didn't bother to turn to face her.

“Why, Ah remember the time--”, Granny started.

“Granny, no offense, but Ah'm not in the mood to be hearin’ any of your stories today”, Applebloom cut her off. Her voice wasn't rude or angry though - only sad and hollow.

The elder mare must have noticed that, because she took a deep breath and sighed.

“Guess it's true then. Ya really did love her like that, didn't ya?”, she asked with a soft smile.

This question made Applebloom turn herself to face her grandmother with a shocked expression. Granny Smith only chuckled at this.

“Don't be so shocked, youngin. Ah may be old, but Ah'm far from blind.”

“Ah'm one screwed up filly, ain't Ah?”, Applebloom asked, looking her grandmother in the eyes. Granny simply smiled back at her.

“Well, Ah wouldn't say that. What Ah will say though is this, you sure know how to pick 'em!”, she exclaimed, laughing heartily.

Once the elder mare noticed that the filly isn’t partaking in this laugh, it soon faded into a nervous chuckle, and then stopped entirely, followed by a sigh.

“We heard from the train station by a letter yesterday, apparently the train will be stoppin’ in Ponyville in about thirty minutes.”

“Good. It's not like she wants to see mah face ever again anyways”, Applebloom replied sourly and turned away from her grandmother.

Granny Smith let out a sigh upon hearing this.

“Ah'm gonna tell ya somethin’, youngin”, she started, a strange tone in her voice. “Somethin’ Ah didn’t tell anypony. Ya know ‘bout me and mah favorite cousin Apple Rose, Ah reckon. But what ya don’t know is that in our younger years, we were, well, a lot closer to one another than the rest of our family.”

“Just how close are we talkin?”, Applebloom asked, turning to face her grandmother once again with a curious look.

She found her answer when Granny Smith's face went a slight shade of crimson.

“No way...”, she whispered in disbelief.

“Believe it, youngin. Me and Apple Rose had our fair share or rollin’ around in the hay. ‘Course, bein’ away from one another for so many months at a time... well, Ah reckon it wasn't meant to last. We only got to see one another durin’ the reunions usually. Eventually, Apple Rose and mahself grew apart in that fashion, and we found ourselves some handsome stallions to settle down with... and the rest, well, ya already know.”

For a few moments after this confession, the filly and her grandmother were looking at each other in silence. Eventually, Applebloom spoke:

“But why tell me this? Ya think that hearin’ ‘bout mah granny foolin’ around with her cousin is gonna make me feel any better or somethin’? Because it's actually makin’ me feel mighty sick”, she remarked, doing her best to block out the mental images of her grandmother and Apple Rose having sex.

“No, youngin”, Granny Smith denied with a soft shake of her head. “Ah'm telling ya this because Ah want to know somethin’. And ya best be honest with me.”

She leaned in a bit closer, looking Applebloom straight in the eyes with a dead serious expression.

“Do ya still love her?”, she asked.

“Who? Babs?”, Applebloom asked back in confusion.

“Nah, her twin cousin! Yes, Babs, ya silly filly!”, Granny Smith replied with a smirk.

“I don't know, well, I mean maybe, well, actually, yes”, Applebloom finally answered and sighed.

“How much?”, the elder mare inquired.

“How much do Ah love her?”, the farm filly asked.

Granny Smith nodded silently. Applebloom thought about it for a moment and then said:

“More than anythin’ in this gosh darn world.”

“Would ya like to tell her that yourself?”, the elder mare asked, getting off the bed and looking at her.

“What are ya sayin’, Granny?”, Applebloom asked, sitting up to look at her grandmother with a confused expression.

“Ah'm sayin’, if ya wanna tell her that badly, then Ah won't stop ya”, Granny Smith replied with a soft smile.

“Is she still here?”, Applebloom asked, getting out of the bed and standing next to her.

The elder mare shook her head.

“Took off for the train station about five minutes before Ah came up here. But if ya run for it, Ah reckon ya could make it in time before the train leaves”, she replied, still smiling at her granddaughter.

The filly leaned in and hugged her tightly.

“What do Ah say to her when Ah catch up with her?”, she asked worriedly, still hugging her.

“Say what's in yer heart, youngin. Nothin’ more, nothin’ less. If ya two are meant to be, than it'll all work out in the end”, the elder mare replied, breaking the hug gently while still looking at her granddaughter.

“Thanks Granny, but what bout mah big brother? Won't he try to stop me?”

“Ha-ha, don't ya worry your pretty little head ‘bout that, youngin. We already got that covered”, the elder mare replied with a chuckle. She then walked over to the window and made a high-pitched whistling sound.

“We...?”, Applebloom asked silently.

She followed her grandmother over to the window. She looked down to see Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo standing below.

“Everythin’ ready, youngins?”, Granny Smith called down to the two.

“Yep! He won't know what hit him!”, Scootaloo replied confidently with a big grin.

“We'll talk care of Big Mac for ya!”, Sweetie Belle chimed in. “You get to Babs! Okay, Applebloom?!”

“Fillies...”, Applebloom whispered with a tearful smile.

“Get to the top of the stairs and be ready to run on mah signal, Applebloom”, the elder mare instructed.

She then quickly walked out of the door and went downstairs. Applebloom did as she was told and waited patiently at the top of the stairs.

“Hey, Big Macintosh, ya think ya can handle helpin’ ol’ Granny Smith somethin’?”, the elder mare could be heard.

It was followed by the stallion’s signature “Eee-yup!”. Moments later, a loud cluttering could be heard, together with his startled cry.

“Now, youngin! Get those hooves movin’!”, Granny Smith ordered.

At this, the filly darted downstairs and past her grandmother, taking note of the fact that her big brother was covered in tar, chicken feathers, and looked dazed. She ran out the door and into the rain-soaked yards of Sweet Apple Acres.

Don't leave yet, Babs, Ah'm comin’!

* * *

“Next train to Manehattan arrives in fifteen minutes!”, a stallion with a stopwatch cutie mark called out. He wasn’t heard by many, though. The ponies in the area were few and scarce at most, the majority of Ponyville citizens still unaware of the train station being operational again.

Babs sat quietly next to Applejack for sometime, not saying a single word. Eventually, she sighed.

“Listen, aunt Applejack, about those photographs I gave to Applebloom...”, she started, but trailed off.

“Lets just pretend Ah never saw 'em”, Applejack replied. “Ah don't know why ya sent 'em to Applebloom, nor do Ah wanna know why. Ah also don't wanna know what you two have possibly been doing together, either. Ya both are young, and experimentin’ is to be expected, but...”, she trailed off and sighed heavily.

“It... it wasn't just expermentin’. I-I really did love her. I still do, but...”, Babs admitted, tears filling her eyes. She fought the urge to break down sobbing on the spot.

Applejack reached a hoof out and placed it around the filly. She sighed heavily.

“Horsefeathers, Babs. Ah didn't know, but ya do realize that you’re related, right?”, she said, doing her best to comfort the filly... despite the awkward feeling she was getting over an attempt to comfort a filly for being in a relationship with their cousin.

“I didn't care and I thought she didn't either... I guess I was wrong”, Babs replied, sniffling slightly now. “She only acted like she loved me to make me feel better.”

The farm pony once again let out a heavy sigh.

“Ah don't know what to say, Babs. Ah wish Ah did, but Ah don't”, she said, running a hoof along the filly's back in a comforting manner. Babs started crying softly into her shoulder.

“Messin’ with a filly's emotions like this. What the hay is wrong with ya, little sis?”, the farm pony thought to herself, followed by yet another sigh.

“Well, ya can talk it over with her when ya come back to visit again, Ah'm sure. You're always welcome here, never forget that.”

“Thanks, aunt Applejack, but I don't think I will be coming back for a long time. It'll hurt too much...”, Babs replied, wiping her nose with a sniffle.

“Train to Manehattan arrives in five minutes!”, the stallion with the stopwatch cutie mark shouted.

“Best be gettin’ ready...”, Applejack remarked, standing to her all fours together with Babs.

* * *

The rain pelted the ground when the farm pony ran as fast as her hooves could carry her. But despite her valiant attempts, the faint whistling of the train was quickly draining her hopes of making it in time. Eventually, she stopped to take a breath and looked into the distance. She felt despair take hold of her when she realized she would never make it in time.

“This is hopeless...”, she said aloud and allowed herself to plop to the ground, starting to sob loudly.

“Hey, blank-flank! Why in Equestria are you on my daddy's front lawn?”

Applebloom raised her head to see Diamond Tiara standing nearby. The bully immediately dropped her snooty expression when she looked into the farm pony's eyes.

“Why the hay are you crying for?”, she asked, confusion in her voice.

“It's not like you'd care”, Applebloom replied sourly, turning her head away from the bully and towards the train station, which was still very far away.

Upon hearing this, the spoiled filly groaned in annoyance and sighed, walking out into the rain and standing next to the farm pony.

“Get your blank flank off the ground and get inside. I'm not about to have my daddy asking me questions as to why you're laying out here in the rain”, she remarked, biting on the farm pony's tail and starting to drag her inside, only for Applebloom to swat her mouth away, much to the aggravation of the bully. “What the buck is your problem, blank-flank?! I'm trying to be nice!”

“Ah've lost her...”, Applebloom said sadly, looking out to the train station once again.

The bully blinked twice.

“Lost who? You're not making any sense, blank-flank.”

Applebloom stood to her all fours and began to walk away, only to stop a moment later and give a sorrowful glance at Diamond Tiara.

“Let me put it this way”, the farm filly started. “Ah don't have to worry ‘bout you two shootin’ off your pieholes about me and Babs anymore. But don't worry, Ah'll keep mah end of the bargain. After all, Ah'm not like you”, she said, slowly turning her head away and starting to trudge away from her.

“What's the blank-flank's problem now?”, Silver Spoon asked with a snooty expression, stepping out of the doorway to Diamond Tiara's house and looking at the scene.

“Shut it, Silver Spoon”, Diamond Tiara snapped at the silver-furred filly. She run up to Applebloom and stood in front of her. “Hold the reins a second, blank-- I mean Applebloom. Did you and Babs have a fight or something?”, she asked.

The farm pony looked at her, thrown off by the bully’s expression and concerned attitude. She hesitated for a moment, debating on whether or not she should tell them or not.

Under normal circumstances, she would have brushed the bully off. In this case however, Diamond Tiara's unusual concern made her consider telling her. After a few more moments, she let out a sigh and explained the situation to the bully as briefly as possible:

“Mah Granny helped me get out of the house so Ah could go tell her, but there's no way Ah can make there in time. So there's no way she'll know Ah love her 'fore that train takes off.”

After that, she tried to continue her slow trot past the bully, only for the latter to halt her in her tracks.

“So you're just gonna give up?”, Diamond Tiara asked incredulously.

“It's not like Ah have a choice...”, Applebloom replied and then sighed, a tear trailing down her cheek.

Diamond Tiara watched the farm pony slowly walk away. The expression on the bully's face was one of disbelief at first, but soon turned into a frustration, followed by an aggravated cry:

“Wait a second, blank-flank!”

“What is it?”, Applebloom asked softly, turning to look at her.

“Jeeves!”, Diamond Tiara shouted at the top of her lungs. At this, a well dressed unicorn appeared in a flash of magic next to her.

“Yes, little miss?”, the butler replied in a prim and proper tone.

“Silver Spoon, get your flank over here this instant!”, Diamond Tiara shouted to her fillyfriend, who seemed positively horrified at the idea of getting her mane wet. “I said get your spoiled foal-hole over here!”, Diamond Tiara roared once again.

Startled by her fillyfriend’s order, the filly finally run over to her, whimpering all the while over the fact that her mane was now getting wet.

“You better have a good reason for me to be getting my mane wet, Tiara”, she remarked with a glare, walking up next to her and the butler. The latter was standing stationary, seemingly unfazed by the rain that was quickly soaking his uniform and mane.

“You can stall the train conductor, right?”, Diamond Tiara asked, looking at Silver Spoon.

Applebloom was heavily confused by all this. Why would Diamond Tiara be asking her fillyfriend of this?

“Well, yeah, but...”, Silver Spoon started, but trailed off. “Why the hay are we helping this blank-flank anyways?”

“Don't play stupid, Silver Spoon. You know why”, Diamond Tiara replied heatedly and sighed. She looked over at Applebloom, the latter still trying to comprehend the situation.

“Ugh, fine. But you know I won't like it”, Silver Spoon replied after a few moments, followed by an aggravated sigh. “Jeeves, the Ponyville train station if you would.”

“Yes, little miss”, Jeeves replied. The stallion's horn glowed brightly and in the next moment, Silver Spoon disappeared in a flash of magic.

“Let's go, blank-flank. Silver Spoon can only delay that idiot as long as he can last, which isn't long”, Diamond Tiara said, turning about-face and starting to run, only to stop a short moment later to look at the farm pony. “What the hay are you waiting for, blank-flank?! Come on!”

At this, Applebloom's brain finally caught up with the situation and she quickly ran up to the filly, who turned around and resumed running.

“Why are you two helpin’ me for?”, she asked, running alongside Diamond Tiara.

“Two reasons, blank-flank. One, making you miserable is my job! I'm not about to sit back and let you be feeling like crap when it wasn't me who made you feel like it! Two, like I told you the other day, we have a lot in common. It's mostly the first reason though”, Diamond Tiara replied, not bothering to look at the farm pony as she spoke.

“Okay, so how is Silver Spoon gonna delay the train conductor? Ah don't see how she can slow him down when she's just a filly like me and you. Plus, Ah don't think bits will be enough”, Applebloom asked, continuing to run alongside the bully.

Diamond Tiara gave an aggravated sigh and flashed her a glare.

“Do you really have apples for brains, or are you just slow?”, she snapped at the farm pony. “She's taking the dick for you, blank-flank! Don't make her or me regret this!”

Applebloom blushed crimson as the two continued to run towards the train station.

* * *

“Now, where the hay is that train conductor? The train is supposed to leave in five minutes”, the stallion with the stopwatch cutie mark remarked curiously, looking around himself.

In the meantime, in the Ponyville train station's staff restroom...

“But Silver Spoon... I need to be driving that train to Manehattan in five minutes--Whoa!”, the stallion tried to say, only to give a startled cry when he was tripped off his hooves and fell to his rump, his front hooves preventing him from falling backwards.

Silver Spoon climbed up on him and began to rub her slit along his flaccid member, causing it to become erect in a matter of seconds.

“You've been begging me to do you for the last two years since I moved here. So just shut up and enjoy the ride, foal-fiddler”, Silver Spoon replied. Her tone and expression were clearly saying that she wasn't going to enjoy this as much as he was.

She then reluctantly lowered herself on him...

* * *

Nearly twenty minutes later, Applebloom and Diamond Tiara were making a left turn on a nearby street, the Ponyville train station being in clear view now.

“Why couldn't yer butler teleport us here like he did with Silver Spoon?”, Applebloom asked when the two neared the entrance to the train station.

“Jeeves is a unicorn, not a miracle worker, you apple-brained nitwit! He can only do that kind of thing every thirty minutes or so, and only one pony at a time”, Diamond Tiara replied, huffing and puffing as the two came to a halt in front of the entrance to the train station. “Now get your blank-flank in there and tell her how you really feel already!”

Applebloom looked at the bully with a newfound respect - for her and for Silver Spoon.

“Thanks, Diamond Tiara. This means a lot to me”, she said softly with a teary expression.

“You can thank me after you've made up with your foal-hole-buddy! Get in there!”, Diamond Tiara commanded, yanking the door open and shoving the farm pony inside.

* * *

“Why in tarnation can't she board the train yet? Don't tell me it broke down again”, Applejack remarked, looking at the stallion with the stopwatch cutie mark.

“I-I'm terribly sorry miss, but no pony can board the train without the conductor on board. I'll go find him right now”, the stallion replied and quickly left the two standing there, starting the hunt for the train-conductor.

Applejack sighed dejectedly and looked down at Babs.

“Sorry ‘bout this, Babs. It seems we'll be waitin’ a little longer than expected.”

“It's okay. I'm sure there's a good reason for it”, Babs replied, though she still sounded depressed and sad. That is, until she heard a familiar voice call out her name. “Who was dat?”, she asked curiously and looked around.

She once again heard the voice calling her name. This time, however, it sounded closer and louder.

“Wait a cotton pickin’ second. Ah know that voice!”, Applejack exclaimed, turning around to look in the same direction as Babs.

She gasped in shock when she saw Applebloom running in their direction.

“A-Applebloom?!”, the farm pony asked in disbelief. “What in tarnation are ya doin’ here?!”

“I'd like to know the same thing”, Babs remarked resentfully, looking at the farm filly as she run up to the two and stopped, huffing and puffing for a few moments.

“Babs, Ah know Ah wasn't completely honest with ya, but what Sweetie Belle told ya wasn't true!”, the farm filly said, doing her best to talk even though she was out of her breath.

“What are you saying?”, Babs asked, her voice no longer resentful, but rather unsure.

“Ah love ya, Babs. Ah love ya more than the whole gosh darn world”, Applebloom finally declared, looking dead into Babs’ eyes as she spoke.

“Whoa nelly...”, Applejack mumbled with a pale expression as she observed the two.

“Even assuming that I believe you”, Babs responded, “how could you lie to me? Why did you write that in that letter? Why did you pretend to love me? How could you do dat to me?”, she kept asking, tears starting to form in her eyes.

“It may have started out that way, but the more Ah played along, the more Ah began to realize that Ah was fallin’ for ya”, Applebloom started explaining. “That night we were cuddlin’, when ya asked me if mah chest was hurtin’, that was the night Ah gave into mah heart and let myself love ya back for real. Ah know it was wrong of me to play with your emotions like that, and Ah don't expect ya to forgive me right away, but Ah have to know...”

Applebloom paused for a moment to catch her breath. And then...

“Do ya still love me?”, she asked, tears forming in her eyes too.

Babs continued to stare at Applebloom. The tears, previously just forming in her eyes, were now streaming down her cheeks. Soon, her lower lip began to quiver, and without warning, she lunged at the filly and hugged her tightly.

“Y-Y-Yes! I still love ya. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for what I said yesterday!”, she cried between sobs.

Applebloom returned the hug, crying herself.

“It's okay. Ah'm sorry for what Ah did too”, she replied, hugging Babs tightly and nuzzling her affectionately against the shoulder, with Babs doing so as well.

“This is too much...”, Applejack whispered, looking completely stunned as she kept staring at the two with the same pale expression.

* * *

“Hey! The train was supposed to leave over thirty minutes ago! Get your flank off the can and drive this train!”, the stallion with the stopwatch cutie mark exclaimed, pounding on the door to the staff restroom.

“C-Coming!”, the conductor called back, though his voice was high-pitched as he spoke.

“You’re telling me...”, Silver Spoon remarked, looking positively bored out of her mind with an eye-roll when the stallion's cock pumped stream after stream of his milk into her.

* * *

Unknowingly to the three, Diamond Tiara stood from the sidelines, leaning against the train station booth and hearing every word they spoke. A smile adorned her face.

“Way to go, blank-flank. Now just don't screw it up”, she said aloud.

Nearly immediately after these words, a flash of magic made her jump in surprise. Gasping, she realized it was nopony else but her father.

“D-daddy?!”, she asked in disbelief.

“So! What the stallion said was true!”, Filthy Rich exclaimed, walking up to the three. They turned and looked at him with shocked expressions.

“Filthy Rich?”, Applejack asked in confusion. “What the hay are you doin’ here? Ya got a train to catch?”

“No, Applejack, I'm here because I came home to find that my Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon had gone missing”, Filthy Rich replied. “Suspecting that your sister had something to do with this, I went to Sweet Apple Acres to ask if they were there. Much to my surprise, your older brother spouted off everything. He asked if I would come and see if your little sister was here. Naturally, since your family and mine are business partners, I could not turn down this request.”

He then turned to look at Diamond Tiara.

“Imagine my surprise when my butler told me that you had Silver Spoon teleported ahead of her. I was forced to wait five minutes for my butler to be ready to perform another teleportation spell.”

Then he turned to face Applebloom and Babs.

“I must say, Applejack, your little sister and her cousin really does make me question the integrity of your family, now that I know about these two”, he said, turning his gaze to the farm pony. “One must wonder, in fact, if you aren’t all related by more than simply being cousins. It would be tragic if this kind of information was leaked, don't you think?”, he remarked with a sneer.

Applejack’s expression became offended upon hearing this.

“Just what the hay are you gettin’ at, Filthy Rich?”, she asked with a glare, stepping in front of the two fillies.

“A change in our business. Your family will provide me with a generous fifty percent discount when Zap Apple harvest comes about. Otherwise, I'm afraid the Ponyville newspaper will be hearing about the incestuous adventures of your little sister and her cousin”, Filthy Rich replied, his smirk becoming even wider.

“Of all the lowbrow tactics... Do ya have a lick of decency to ya?!”, Applejack exclaimed, stomping a hoof on the ground in anger. “Y'all know we can't afford that!”

“I think my offer is more than generous, given the situation”, Filthy Rich remarked, walking up to the three.

“I hate you, daddy...”

Diamond Tiara's words caused the stallion to whirl around and stare at his daughter in disbelief.

“What? What did you say?! How can you say that?”, he stuttered, completely shocked. “Come on now, after this is all over, I'll buy you a new doll. How's that sound?”, he said in the sweetest voice he could muster.

“Oh, sure, throw a new doll in my face! That'll make up for the past five years of you ignoring me!”, Diamond Tiara exclaimed angrily, walking up to him and glaring at him. “News flash, daddy! I'm tired of you giving me everything except the one thing I always desired, for as long as I can remember!”

“What is it? I can give you anything”, Filthy Rich replied, doing his best to keep cool despite how his daughter was acting towards him now.

“For starters, you can take your little business and shove it up your tail-hole!”, the filly roared into her father's face, much to his shock.

“Wh-What kind of nonsense is this?! If I gave up my business, then how could I buy you anything?”, Filthy Rich asked, clearly not getting the obvious picture. “I know you are better than this! It's those two incestuous fillies, isn't it? They’re warping your mind with their relationship, aren't they?”

“You don't know horseapples about me, daddy! Silver Spoon, get your flank in here!”, Diamond Tiara yelled, at which point the silver-furred filly could be seen coming from the staff building and running to her side.

“Sorry for taking so long Tiara, I had to, um, well, clean up”, Silver Spoon remarked with a blush... only to suddenly have her lips locked with Diamond Tiara - much to her and the stallion's shock, whose jaw dropped upon seeing this.

Silver Spoon quickly returned the kiss and went for it, until she noticed the stallion gawking at them. She then yanked her lips away and looked at Filthy Rich a short distance away.

“Oh, Mr. Rich! I didn't see you there! Heh, heh...”, she said nervously, then flashed her lover a panicked glance. “Have you flipped your lid, Tiara?! You just kissed me in front of your father!”

“No, I haven't. I'm simply leveling the playing field for Applejack”, Diamond Tiara replied with a smirk, turning to face her father and the Apple family members. “Oh, and by the way, we're cousins as well!”, she added, looking at her father with a devious grin.

Filthy Rich stared at her for some time, looking completely stunned by this turn of events. Applejack simply plopped onto her rump with an equally bewildered expression.

“It's too much, Ah can't take this, Ah can't take it...”, she said breathlessly, continuing to stare at the whole situation.

It took a few moments, but Filthy Rich's brain finally comprehended the situation, at which point he turned to face Applebloom and Babs, anger on his face.

“You two, you corrupted my little Diamond Tiara!”, he roared at the top of his lungs, pointing a shaking hoof at them. Upon hearing this, Applejack stood back up in front of the two fillies.

“Wrong again, bits for brains!”, Diamond Tiara interrupted. “We've been dating long before those two became an item!”

The stallion whirled around to look at his daughter.

“Wh-What?”, he stuttered.

“If you had bothered to pay attention to me, you would have noticed that my room often smells like cherry-scented air freshener. Care to venture a guess as to why?”, Diamond Tiara replied, putting on her full bully attitude. It was the attitude she often gave Babs and the rest of the cutie mark crusaders, but in this case, it was directed solely at her father.

“Y-You can't serious! Y-you a-and S-Silver Spoon have, have, have...”, the stallion stuttered and trailed off, fully getting the less than subtle hints his daughter was giving him. His face went paler than a ghost.

“More than once. Oh, and by the way, it was great”, Diamond Tiara replied with a smirk.

This smirk vanished, however, when Filthy Rich approached the two. Diamond Tiara stood in front of Silver Spoon, just in time to receive a hoof to the face, which knocked her to the ground.

“You ungrateful, little whore-foal! I've given you everything, and this is how you repay me?! With this?!”, Filthy Rich roared at the top of his lungs.

He raised his hoof up again to strike the quivering filly, only for his hoof to connect with Applejack's.

“Ah'm all for disciplinin’ your foals how ya like...”, she remarked with a glare at the stallion, successfully staving off his hoof, “...but Ah won't sit back and let ya do this to her. Goes against mah morals, if ya get my meanin’.”

“Stand aside! This doesn't concern you!”, Filthy Rich shouted, shoving the farm pony to the ground and raising his hoof again, this time with Silver Spoon standing in his way.

However, his strike never landed. A comb struck him squarely in the back of the head. He whirled around to see Babs and Applebloom tossing more objects they could find at him, with equally loathing glares.

“You two...”, Filthy Rich said in the lowest tone his voice could go.

He walked over to the fillies and then lifted up Applebloom by the throat with his front hooves, sitting on his rump.

“It's all your fault! You corrupted my little Diamond Tiara!”, he growled through gritted teeth.

“Leave her alone, you big bully!”, Babs yelled, kicking and hitting the stallion.

Her strikes seemed to have no effect on him, however. Applebloom gasped and choked under his grip.

Applejack gave a horrified gasp, ran over to Filthy Rich, reared herself up and gave his skull a swift buck with all the strength of her apple-bucking legs. This attack blindsided the stallion, causing him to release Applebloom. He flew a few short feet and landed on the ground unconscious.

“Applebloom, sweetie, are you okay?!”, Applejack asked worriedly, looking over at the farm filly. Applebloom coughed a few times, trying to catch her breath.

“Ah-Ah'm fine. Is Diamond Tiara okay?”, she wheezed, looking past her sister and at the two fillies.

She saw Silver Spoon helping Diamond Tiara to her hooves and held her tightly for some moment afterwards.

* * *

“What in tarnation were ya thinkin’?! Tellin’ that stinkin’ stallion everythin’!”, Applejack roared, looking at Big Macintosh with a glare. He still was wiping tar and feathers off himself.

“Ah wasn't thinkin’ clearly, considerin’ that I was knocked for a loop by those two fillies”, Big Macintosh said, pointing a hoof at Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. The two sat on their rumps, smiling sheepishly.

Applejack gave an aggravated sigh upon hearing this.

“Well, at least Applebloom and Babs are okay. Speakin’ of which, where the hay are they?”, she asked.

“Ah told 'em they could go and play out for a while”, Granny Smith spoke up, walking up to her granddaughter.

“G-Go out and play? Ya sure that's a good idea?”, Applejack asked, looking at her grandmother with a worried expression.

“Ya worry too much. They will be just fine. In fact, Ah'm willin’ to bet they are more than fine right now”, Granny Smith replied with a knowing expression, looking out of the window.

However, she quickly turned around when she heard cluttering from the kitchen. She noticed that her granddaughter was gone.

“What the hay are ya doin’, youngin?”, she called her.

“Ah'm lookin’ for the lemons, and then Ah'm gonna pay a stop over at Twilight's to get these consarned images out of mah head!”, Applejack exclaimed from the kitchen, much to the amusement of the elder mare. She gave a hearty laugh in response.

“Uh, Granny, if you're implyin’ what Ah think you are...”, Big Macintosh remarked, trailing off as he looked at his grandmother with a worried expression.

“Oh, shut yer pie-hole, youngin. Babs is headin’ back home tomorrow. We can give 'em this at least. Especially after all they've been through today”, Granny Smith remarked, once again looking through the window.

Even more cluttering coming from the kitchen reached her ears soon after.

“Big Mac? What the hay are ya doin’ in here?”, Applejack's voice could be heard asking.

“Hurry up and find those lemons!”, Big Macintosh replied dramatically, to which Granny Smith began laughing once again.

* * *

Applebloom and Babs sat in the clubhouse, looking at one another for some time, neither of them saying a word. Eventually, Applebloom spoke up:

“Ah know why Granny sent us out here, but knowin’ she knows what we might be doin’...”, she remarked.

“Yeah, I'm feelin’ the same way, cuz. Kind of hard to do anythin’, knowin’ dat Granny Smith knows we're doin’ it”, Babs replied and sighed.

“Of all the ponies in our family, Ah never in mah wildest dreams expected Granny to be the one to help me, though”, Applebloom remarked with a happy sigh, looking out the clubhouse window.

“I know, right? You'd think she'd be the old-fashioned mare who was set in her old-fashioned ways. What a screwed up world we live in”, Babs replied, at which point the two broke into spontaneous laughter.

“Well, we're two screwed up fillies”, Applebloom remarked after managing to stop laughing.

She looked at Babs, and Babs looked at her.

“Guess we best be headin’ back home, then”, Babs concluded. “No sense in stayin’ out here if we aren't going to be doin anythin’.”

She opened the door and walked out, with Applebloom following soon after.

“Just for kicks though, let's make it look like we actually did it. Just to mess with mah big sister”, Applebloom suggested with a devious grin, to which Babs laughed out loud. The two then headed back home.

* * *

The evening was unusually quiet for the Apple family. The dinner was just as quiet, save for Granny Smith telling tales as she always did during dinner time.

“Ah reckon there's no need for ya to be sleepin’ in separate rooms anymore”, Granny Smith said a few moments after finishing her tale. This one was about the time when she and Apple Rose were getting into trouble for staying out too late. “Oh, and youngins. Try not to traumatize your sister come the mornin’”, she added with a smirk.

The two fillies giggled at this, while Applejack put her hat over her face, going a slight shade of green in response.

The two went upstairs later after dinner. They washed up, jumped into bed, and held each other in a tight embrace. A short time later, Applejack walked past the room with a passing glance. She shuddered slightly and continued to her room, assuming the fillies were asleep.

However, the two were, in fact, still awake. They looked at one another.

“I can't sleep, can you?”, Babs asked. Her cousin nodded in reply. “So, what do you wanna talk about?”, she asked softly, running a hoof through Applebloom's mane.

“Actually, Ah was thinkin’ that Ah still have a promise to be keepin’”, the farm pony replied, much to the delight of Babs. She locked lips with her lover and began to make out with her.

The blankets of their bed were kicked off as the two continued to make out, running each others’ hooves all over one another, until Applebloom broke the kissing and smiled sweetly at Babs. The latter knew exactly what was coming when Applebloom lowered herself down on the bed.

“Ah-Ah'm new to this, so...”, Applebloom said nervously, looking up at Babs.

The city filly’s face wore a scarlet red blush. She could feel Applebloom’s breath brushing against her mound with each breath the farm pony exhaled.

“Heh, so am I”, Babs replied back quietly, looking down at Applebloom.

“Well, here goes nothin’ Ah guess”, the farm filly replied nervously and hesitantly extended her tongue out, running it along her lover's dark brown mound. It earned a sharp moan from the city filly. A few minutes have passed with Applebloom running her tongue up and down over the city filly's slit. “H-How am Ah doin’?”, she asked nervously at some point, looking up at her lover's face.

“G-Great. It feels amazin, cuz”, Babs replied breathlessly, her chest heaving up and down from the amount of pleasure she was receiving.

“Y-You want me to stick it in there, then?”, Applebloom asked, stuttering slightly. The complement from her cousin gave her a small confidence boost though.

“Y-Yeah. Go ahead.”

The farm pony hesitantly extended her tongue out once again, using her front hooves to gently part the city filly's nether-lips. She dipped her tongue inside, earning a loud moan that Babs muffled as quickly as possible by slamming a pillow on her face. After it passed, she laid the pillow down beside her head. She watched her lover continue to send waves of pleasure throughout her body, doing her best to keep her voice down.

Applebloom, feeling her confidence get yet another boost from the reaction of her lover, decided to be a bit daring now and began to run her tongue along the inner walls of Babs’ dark brown slit. It was quickly becoming wetter and wetter, to the point where with each timid stroke of her tongue, Applebloom was getting a tongue-full of Babs’ love juices.

“So... um...”, Babs spoke up quietly.

This prompted the farm pony to stop her oral treatment and look up at her.

“So what?”, she asked nervously, looking at Babs with a fear that she may have done something wrong.

“Um, it's kind of embarrassing to ask”, Babs replied, looking away from Applebloom.

“Did Ah do something wrong? Did Ah hurt ya?”, the farm filly asked, really afraid now that she did something horrible.

“N-No. It's just that... um, well, how do I taste?”, Babs finally asked, giving Applebloom a worried glance.

“Taste?”, the farm filly asked back in confusion.

“Y-Yeah, my, um, filly juices. How do they taste? You don't have to answer if you don't wanna”, Babs replied, looking away once again.

“O-Oh! You mean the stuff that Ah've been tastin’ when mah tongue was inside?”, Applebloom finally caught on, feeling relief wash over her.

Babs nodded silently, looking embarrassed by asking the question. Applebloom smiled at the city filly.

“It tastes sweet. Not too much different from apple juice, really.”

“R-really? Dat's a relief. I thought it would taste bad”, Babs replied, looking at her again and seeming relieved.

“Ya mind if Ah resume drinkin’ it, then?”, Applebloom asked slyly, with a grin to match her tone of voice.

“N-No. Not at all”, Babs replied with a nervous giggle, which soon turned into a moan when Applebloom's tongue once again dove between her glistening folds.

A few more minutes had passed. Babs was writhing in pleasure from her cousin’s continued oral assault on her puffy dark brown slit. She felt the amounts of pleasure increase more and more each time Applebloom’s tongue moved around inside of her. It soon got to the point where she had to once again bite down on the pillow to muffle her moans, which were steadily getting louder and louder.

“A-Almost there... mmph!”, Babs remarked aloud, but had to bite down on the pillow again to muffle another moan.

Applebloom's yellow slit was already dripping with her own juices as she continued to swirl her tongue around the inside of her cousin. As tempting as it was to reach a hoof under herself and start clopping, she knew it would distract her from the task at hoof, which was to make her lover cum in ecstasy.

“Gosh darn it Babs, would ya gush already? Mah cherrybush is beggin’ for some lovin too, ya know”, Applebloom remarked with a coy smirk.

“S-Sorry. I can't really control dat too much”, Babs replied guiltily. Applebloom giggled softly in response.

“Ah'm just pullin’ yer leg, take as long as ya need to gush. Ah'm enjoyin’ this as much as you do”, she replied with a smirk. She then dove her tongue back inside of her lover's slit, earning more moans from her as she continued to savor the taste of her fluids on her tongue.

“W-Well, I'm almost ready to, but I'm not s-sure why I haven't y--Oh Luna, deeper!”, Babs nearly shouted, much to the panic of both fillies. They snapped their gaze in the direction of the door for a few short moments, and eventually let out a sigh of relief in unison.

“Consarn it, Babs! Keep yer voice down! Mah sister is just down the hall, ya know”, Applebloom exclaimed in a hushed whisper and sighed. “Now, Ah reckon ya need a big nudge to push ya over the edge. Problem is, Ah don't know what to do to give ya that nudge”, she said and sighed dejectedly. “Ah hate not knowin’ that to do.”

“Y-You’re doing fine. Just keep going. Make it go deeper”, Babs replied desperately, feeling her pleasure slowly ebb away.

“O-Okay”, Applebloom agreed, dipped her tongue back inside, and pushed it as deep as she could as per her lover's request. She felt her tongue brush against a rough spot, unlike the rest of Babs’ love-tunnel.

“Oh Luna, yes, there! Keep lickin’ there!”, Babs exclaimed as quietly as she possibly could, before biting her mouth back down on the pillow to muffle her pleasured screams.

The city filly's front hooves squeezed her pillow tightly while her tail flickered back and forth, so fast that it nearly tickled the farm pony. Babs continued to scream into the pillow, until her entire body seized up and she gave the loudest muffled scream she could. Moments later, Applebloom felt a rush of juices gush along her tongue and down her chin.

She didn't stop licking, however. The taste of her lover's orgasmic juices had proven to be addicting to her, and she fully understood why Diamond Tiara continued to lap at Silver Spoon's slit, even after the silver-furred filly had reached her orgasm. That specific memory was the farthest from the farm filly’s mind, however, when she continued to lap and even swallow every drop she could have of Babs' filly juices.

The city filly's body finally relaxed after some time, at which point she removed the pillow from her mouth and face. She looked down at her cousin, who was still lapping away at her slit as her chest heaved up and down.

“Hey, cuz, you can stop-mmph!-l-l-licking now. Or do I taste that good?”, Babs asked, stifling a pleasured moan as she spoke to her cousin.

Applebloom finally removed her mouth from her cousin’s dark brown slit and grinned at her sheepishly.

“Ya taste that good”, she confirmed. She then crawled up to her and kissed her gently on the lips, allowing the city filly to get a taste of her own fluids as they shared the kiss.

“I guess I'll take that as a complement. Anyways, your turn”, Babs replied with a giggle, starting to scoot herself down on the farm pony.

Upon hearing this, Applebloom nervously turned herself on her back, spread her legs and allowed her tail to flop limply to the side. She blushed crimson as she watched Babs lower her head down and extend her tongue.

“W-Whoa nelly!”, Applebloom exclaimed, quoting her older sister. A wave of pleasure like nothing she felt before surged through her body when she felt her cousin’s tongue dip inside her dripping folds.

“Dang cuz, you're soaked. You sure you haven't already gushed?”, Babs remarked with a smirk. She looked up at her cousin, who continued to blush fiercely at her.

“Ah-Ah don't think Ah have yet”, Applebloom replied nervously, only to let out a high-pitched moan as Babs’ tongue dipped back inside her love-tunnel.

* * *

“Oh for the love of Luna, where are those gosh darned earplugs?!”, Applejack exclaimed softly, frantically searching through her dresser drawers while doing her best to ignore the moans coming from the fillies' bedroom.

* * *

“Do you remember me biting the pillow a few moments ago when I was gettin’ too loud?”, Babs asked looking up at her cousin, who blushed in response.

“R-Right”, the farm pony said and bit down on the pillow next to her, bracing herself for the waves of pleasure which surged through her body moments later.

As much as she tried to hold it back, the same feeling she knew all too well was now rapidly building itself inside of her, threatening to push her over the edge faster than she wanted it to.

“Come on cuz, I know you can last longer than this”, Babs jeered with a smirk, knowing that the filly was already on the verge of climax. She then resumed her oral assault on the farm pony's slit, which was leaking fluids as if somepony had left the faucet on inside of her.

“It-it's not mah fault! This is only mah third time doin’ this kind of thing, and it's not mah hoof doin’ it this time, either!”, Applebloom exclaimed defensively in a soft voice. She barely made it in time to muffle another high-pitched moan, a wave of pleasure surging through her body.

“Well you're a whole lot louder than me, that's for sure”, Babs remarked with a smirk. She then dove her tongue back inside Applebloom's yellow flower, earning more frantic and high-pitched moans from the inexperienced farm pony.

As much as Applebloom tried, she couldn't hold off her inevitable climax any longer. She gave a high-pitched squeal into the pillow as she came hard a few short minutes later, much to the amusement of her cousin, who did her best to extend her lover's orgasm as long as possible.

The inexperienced filly gave a few more high-pitched squeals, her puffy yellow slit squeezing as much as it could on Babs' tongue and continuing to squirt its juices all over her face and the bed. The stain that was created in the process was much bigger than Babs’ was by the time her body relaxed.

“Gotta give it to ya, cuz: you're faster than me”, Babs jeered with a smirk, only to get a playful hoof to the face from the farm pony.

“Oh, shut it. Unlike you, Ah don't have a hoof between mah legs every night. This is still really new to me”, Applebloom replied between huffs and puffs.

Babs crawled up next to her and kissed her gently on the lips over and over. It soon turned into yet another make out session between the two fillies.

“Anything else you wanna try?”, Babs asked between kisses, running a hoof through Applebloom's mane, which was matted down from the amount of sweat on her body.

“Just one more thing...”, Applebloom replied in a seductive voice.

Her hoof trailed down Babs’ body and found its target, which was non-other than her dark brown slit. She shoved it inside, much to the shock and pleasure of her cousin, who moaned out. Catching on now, she performed the same action while the two continued to make out.

“Ah love you so much Babs...mmph!”, Applebloom moaned out between kisses, feeling her lover’s hoof thrust in and out of her and pushing her body once again towards another orgasm.

“I love you too, Applebloom--Oh Luna, harder please!”, Babs moaned out in response to her lover's words, feeling Applebloom's slit squeeze and release around her hoof.

“O-Only if you go harder as well!”, Applebloom managed to choke out between kisses and moans.

“D-Deal!”, Babs replied and began to shove her hoof in and out of Applebloom's puffy yellow slit harder and faster. The same did Applebloom to her dark brown love-tunnel.

The two fillies continued to thrust their respective hooves in one another, barely taking time to catch their breaths as their love-making continued. With each thrust, both fillies felt their bodies get one step closer to climax, their moans becoming louder with each passing moment, their already soaking slits growing even more wet, and the squelching sounds becoming louder and louder.

Time was lost to the fillies as they were moaning out and kissing one another, their free hooves running along each other’s manes and bodies, each one relishing in the touch of their lover, treasuring every thrust, moaning out in pure ecstasy as their bodies grew closer and closer, neither of them wanting this blissful moment to end.

“Ah-Ah'm s-so close. Are you close, Babs?”, Applebloom asked breathlessly, panting loudly and unable to keep up with their rapid kissing, due to using every ounce of her willpower to stave off her orgasm.

“Y-Yeah... you wanna gush together?”, Babs asked between moans and pants, slowing the thrusts of her hoof to a gentle yet quickened pace. She stared back at Applebloom, who nodded in response. “O-Okay then.”

The two fillies looked into each other’s eyes, their free hooves running over each other’s teats and massaging them gently, while the ones buried deep inside one another kept thrusting in and out, at a much more frantic pace now.

“J-Just a-about t-there!”, Babs said softly, biting her lower lip.

“Ah-Ah-Ah can't hold it back any longer! Aahhh!”, Applebloom cried, her puffy yellow slit clamping down on Babs’ hoof, convulsing, and starting to squirt its love juices all over the city filly's hoof.

“I-I'm gushin’ too!”, Babs exclaimed a short second later. The city filly let out a high-pitched squeal as her dark brown slit began to gush all over Applebloom's hoof.

As if on impulse, Applebloom leaned in a locked lips with Babs in a passionate kiss, the two riding out their respective orgasms, moaning into each other’s mouths. Their respective hooves continued to thrust in and out of one another rapidly, in an attempt to extend each other’s climax as long as possible.

After what seemed like an eternity later, both fillies' bodies slowly relaxed and the two broke their kiss, panting at one another and each wearing a content smile.

“W-Was it good for you?”, Babs asked softly, sliding her hoof out of Applebloom's slit with a soft squelching sound.

“Y-yeah...”, Applebloom replied breathlessly, removing her own hoof slowly from Babs' dark brown flower, which came out with a soft pop.

The two then wrapped their hooves around each other and basked in their afterglow, fatigue slowly taking hold of the two fillies. Applebloom was first to give a yawn, followed by a blissful sigh.

“Ah love ya Babs... so much”, she remarked, nuzzling her head against Babs' cheek.

“I love you too, Applebloom”, the city filly replied and returned the affectionate nuzzle against the farm pony's cheek. She then yawned too.

“Guess we should get some sleep. Wanna grab the covers, cuz?”, Applebloom asked sleepily, nuzzling against Babs' chest.

“S-Sure...”, Babs replied, but never actually moved. The sleep took hold of her as well and soon the two fillies were fast asleep.

* * *

Applejack lay on her bed with bloodshot eyes.

“Ah'm never gonna get a proper night’s sleep again...”, she remarked dismally, staring at her ceiling and thanking Luna that the moans had stopped coming from her little sister's bedroom.

THAT NEXT MORNING...

Applebloom's eyes fluttered open to see the face of her lover. She sighed blissfully, recalling the events of the night before.

She then heard a trotting of hooves. She turned to look at her sister, who stopped behind the doorway to give her a passing glance. Applebloom took note of the fact that her sister had bags under her eyes and looked as if she hadn't had an ounce of sleep all night.

“Mornin, big sis”, the farm filly greeted her big sister with a wide smile. She gently and quietly got out of the bed to walk up to her. “Didn't ya sleep well?”, she asked, giving the farm pony a concerned look.

“You're washin’ those sheets of yours before the day’s over”, Applejack replied sluggishly. “We clear?”

A crimson red blush appeared on Applebloom's face upon hearing this.

“So ya know what happened last night, Ah take it?”, the filly asked, looking down at the floor.

“Ah do”, Applejack replied flatly, looking away when her face went a slight shade of green.

“Ah'm kind of surprised ya didn't come and stop us”, Applebloom said nervously. She snapped her head up to look at her sister. “Not that Ah'm not happy you didn't! Ah'm just a little surprised”, she remarked, sounding slightly panicked at first, but calm again by the end of her sentence.

Applejack let out a long-winded sigh.

“Ya are a growin’ filly, sis. And while Ah'm not so keen on ya datin’ yer cousin...”, Applejack trailed off, placing a hoof on the filly's shoulder. “Ah reckon ya are old enough to make your own decisions now”, she finished, allowing a smile to wash over her face as she spoke, much to the delight of her little sister, who smiled back at her.

“Thanks, Applejack”, Applebloom replied and leaned in to hug her big sister, only for the mare to back away.

“Get yourself cleaned up first, then Ah'll hug ya. No tellin’ where those hooves of yours have been”, Applejack remarked, looking slightly green on the face. She then walked down the hallway and downstairs.

Applebloom simply giggled at this and looked at her hoof, which had been buried inside Babs the night before. She took a sniff and quickly recoiled from the pungent smell.

“Wow, she's right. Mah hoof reeks of mah cousin’s cherrybush!”, the filly remarked aloud with a smirk. She then turned about-face and gently woke her cousin.

“Oh, mornin, cuz”, Babs greeted her groggily. She stretched all four legs vigorously. “Last night was great!”

“Yeah, about that...”, Applebloom replied with a sheepish grin.

* * *

TWO WEEKS LATER...

“Got another letter from yer cousin!”, Applejack exclaimed with a smile when the filly walked through the door after school.

“Really?!”, Applebloom exclaimed excitedly. She rushed over to grab it, only for Applejack to hold it just out of reach. “What gives?!”

“Ah'm not gonna find any photographs in here if Ah open this, am Ah?”, Applejack remarked with a jeering expression.

The filly jumped up, clamped down on the envelope with her mouth, and yanked it out of Applejack’s hoof before she could react.

“Even if she did send me some photographs, it's not like they’re for yer eyes”, Applebloom replied snootily between gritted teeth, carrying the letter upstairs.

“Young love. Nothin’ like it”, Granny Smith remarked with a chuckle, much to Applejack's discomfort. The farm pony sighed dejectedly.

Applebloom walked into her room, hopped onto her bed, tore the envelope open, and poured the contents of it on her bed. Much to her relief and a minor disappointment, only a single letter floated onto the sheets. She opened it up and began to read it.

“To my cousin Applebloom,

It's been lonely with you at my side when I wake up in the mornings. I told my parents the truth a few short days after I got back to Manehattan and my parents are still adjusting to the fact that we're dating. They aren't against it, but they aren't liking the idea either.

I think we got a rough road ahead of us cuz, especially when the rest of the Apple family finds out. Enough about us though, how's Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon doing? Last I heard from you, they were talking about sending her to live with her mother.

Anyways, I'll be coming to visit you in a week. I'm really looking forward to it.

Loving you always,

Babs xoxoxo”

Applebloom put the letter to the side, pulled up a piece of paper from her night-table next to her, and began to write:

“To my cousin Babs,

The feeling is mutual, it's been awful lonely without you here as well. And about the rest of the Apple family finding out, well, we'll cross that bridge when it comes to. Glad to be hearing that you'll be coming to visit though!

Now about Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, last I heard from her, she said that she would be sent to live with her mother in Fillydephia. Apparently her mom and dad both agreed that those two dating isn't a good thing. Those consarned varmints wouldn't know what a good thing is, even if it walked up to them and bit them on the nose!

I feel sorry for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon though. I wonder if there's something we can do to help them? It's not fair to them after all they did for me and you. Sure, they might be bullies, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve love.

Guess that means we're lucky to have family as understanding as Granny Smith and my big sister.

Still, I want to help them. Not sure how, but I'll figure out a way. Though I’ll probably end up regretting it! Hehe!

Anyways, I'll finish writing this letter and let my sister know you're coming to visit. Knowing her, her face will go a shade of green and she’ll look like she's ready to hurl! Haha!

Loving you always,

Applebloom”

Applebloom put the letter into an envelope, sealed it, and walked downstairs.

“Babs is comin’ to visit in a week!”, she announced excitedly after placing the letter down.
