Ok so this IS my first story EVER. So please I understand its not the best, but we all have to start somewhere. Chapter 2 "A Night To Remember" will be posted soon.








As Applejack ran down the dusty trail in Whitetail Woods she knew Rainbow Dash wasn't to far behind her. She was really tired on the inside and was panting heavily but had no intentions of slowing down. She was fully determined to win this race!

"Your gonna have to do better than that sugarcube if you wanna stand a chance against me!", Applejack shouted behind her.

"Oh please! I'm going to crush you! When we get to the end, I'm going to go all out why your all tired and totally beat you! I mean it worked with Twilight in the running of the leaves so who knows? Maybe that egghead does have some skill!", Dash shouted from behind.

Rainbow quickly caught up to Applejack. The two ponies were officially neck and neck closing in on the finish line that they had established was a special looking tree at the end of the path. It was close but then-!

"WOOAAHH!!", Applejack shouted as she crashed to the ground. "Hey Rainbow! You tripped me!"

"Yeah well, you never said we had to play fair this time.", the Pegasus said. "And besides, its not like this is an official race. Its all in good fun right?". Rainbow walked over and patted Applejack on the head. "Perhaps next time you'll take home the gold." She put out her hoof to help her friend up.

Applejack just smacked her hoof out of the way and got up herself. "Now listen here Rainbow!", she exclaimed. "I've had just about enough of this here cheatin thing you've been doin lately! Its got to stop or I'm not gonna do anything with you anymore!". Applejack was extremely frustrated with her Pegasus friend.

"Look, Applejack, please don't be mad ok? I'm really sorry about this and...I honestly feel really bad about it. Look I would love to make it up to you by taking you to dinner. Huh, whaddya say?", she said doing her 'i'm so innocent look'.

"Dinner. Seriously? Rainbow that sounds a little funny..."

"Oh come ON Applejack! I'm trying to be nice here!"

"Well Rainbow...alright then. Thank you kindly for your hospitality I guess..."

"Oh well have a great time, I Pinkie promise! Can we go now? I've worked up quite the appetite after that big race and all."

"Well now that I'm thinkin about it...I plum tuckered out and might hungry too. What place did you have in mind?"

"How about the cafe? Twilight told me they have the best daisy sandwiches there!"

"Well alright then Rainbow. Lets go."

The two friends walked off together back to Ponyville. Not realizing what they were getting themselves into.
