Snowed In- A Humanized Appledash Fanfic- Prologue

"It is looking like a beautiful, sunny weekend for all of you fine folks heading out to the mountains this weekend!" the voice from the radio buzzed loudly throughout the small town home. "A wonderful chance to strap on those skis and explore the beautiful mountain sides." 

A pearly smile spread across the listeners thin face, as she rummaged through her carefully packed bag; a set of delicate fingers checking off the final items from the list. The room filled with music as the radio began playing the newest hit tunes, and Rainbow Dash bobbed her head to the heavy beat. A quick glance to the left revealed that it was almost time to go. 

"Awe, yeah!" Rainbow Dash zipped up the backpack sized parcel and tossed it to the front door. "This weekend is going to be perfect! I can't believe I'm spending the whole weekend with the gang in the mountains, and it was so nice of Applejack's family to let us use their cabin."

A loud knocking suddenly emitted from the entrance of the house, echoed by the very recognizable accent of a certain farm girl. 

"Rainbow, you in there? Ready to go?"  

"Speak of the devil," the rainbow haired tom-boy muttered to herself, before rising from her seat. "Hold on, I'm coming!" 

With a confident stride Rainbow Dash approached the door, unlocking and pulling it open. Before her stood Applejack, her signature Stetson hat resting atop a head of golden hair that reached down just past her shoulders, done up in a tight pony tail. A worn, ripped, and patched up pair of blue jeans and a button up checkered shirt made up the girl's wardrobe. 

"Really mixing it up, eh cowgirl?" Dash laughed as her friend entered.

"Yeah yeah, whatever Dashie," Applejack glanced around as she entered. "Your parents home?" 

"Nope. Why?" 

"Ah've never met 'em," the farm girl approached a wooden desk, atop of which a photograph stood; Rainbow Dash as a young girl, with two figures standing behind her. "Seems like they're always outta town or somethin'." 

"They're..." she heisted, picking up the bag and slinging it over her shoulder. "Busy. Travel a lot." 

"Must get lonely," Applejack waited but received no answer. "You remember to pack a swimsuit?"

"Why would I-"

"Outdoor hot tub." 

"Sweet!" Rainbow Dash turned, and made way to her room in search of a bathing suit. 

While waiting for her friend's return, Applejack took the time to admire her surroundings. Despite their many years of friendship, AJ had never really spent much time in the household. It was small. Quaint. Not fitting of Rainbow's loud personality in the slightest. 

"C'mon Rainbow, the girls are waiting on us!" 

"What?" the voice called from the opposite side of the house. "Why?"

"You're driving up with me," Applejack dangled her keys for emphasis. "Flutters, Rarity, Pinkie and Twilight are driving up in Rarity's Jeep, but we have to get to the cabin before them or else they'll just be locked outside! I have the only key to the place."

Emerging from her room, Rainbow once again neared the entrance, a two piece bathing suit in her hands; the suit itself colored in rainbow stripes. Applejack's giggles filled throughout the entire house. 

"Well, at least it matches that crazy hair of yours!" Applejack turned and made her way outside. "Alrighty then, lets head out." 

"Right behind you." 

"Shouldn't ya turn off that radio?" 

"Nope," Rainbow spoke with an evil smirk as the door closed behind her. "My parents hate it when I leave it on." 

"Ah will never understand you." 

Side by side the two friends made their way towards the large red truck parked outside, hearts held high and full of excitement for the days to come. However, back inside, the radio was beginning to play a different story. The vacant house quieted as the buzzing music came to a halt, and the voice returned, with not a soul around to hear it. 

"I've got some bad new for ya, folks. It looks like a freak snow storm is making an appearance over the mountains! To any of you planning a weekend escape, this radio man highly recommends that you reconsider."
