Chapter 5.)

The next day Applejack woke up bright and early. She stopped off at the flower shop on the way to Twilight's house to buy a bouqet of flowers for Rainbow Dash. She was nervous and excited at the same time. She was really hoping Rainbow Dash would forgive her. She arrived at Twilight's house at 8:00 sharp.
"Oh hi Applejack!" Spike answered the door, "Those flowers for me?" he asked hopefully.
"Sorry loverboy! They ain't!" Applejack laughed, "Is Twilight here, 'cos ah-" She was cut short by a voice at the side of the library.
"I'm over here!" Twilight shouted in excitment. Applejack and Spike turned their heads to the left to see Twilight floating in a hot air baloon.
"What in they hay are y'all doin' in there?!" Applejack exclaimed.
"Rainbow Dash lives in cloadsdale, remember? You're going to need to go up in this to get to her!"
Applejack gulped, "Um... uh... okay...!" 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How the hay do ah fly this thing!" yelled Applejack as the hot air baloon swerved side to side in mid air. The baloon did a massive loop and she nearly fell out!
"Haha... ah meant to do that!" She yelled to staring passers by. However, after a lot of practice, Applejack got the hang of flying. She expertly flew up to Dashes cloud home in cloudsdale.With a gulp, Applejack flew over and knocked on the front door. Scootaloo quickly came and answered it. 
"Oh Applejack! Thank goodness you're here! Rainbow Dash hasn't left the house for days now! I'm really worried about her!" Guilt began forming in the pit of Applejack's stomuch. This was all her fault.
"Hey... maybe you could let me in to talk to her... you know, see what's up with her an' such?"
"Ok, I was just heading off to school anyway, see ya!"

AJ waved a quick goodbye to Scootaloo before stepping into Rainbow Dashes house. It was brightly coloured and very homey. Applejack went up the stairs and saw Rainbow Dashes room almost instantly. All over the bedroom door were pictures of the 'Wonderbolts'. AJ knew how much Rainbow Dash longed to join them. It made her smile, it was kind of sweet, she thought. She hesitated a moment before knocking on the door.
"Ugh! What is it NOW Scootaloo?" She heard a moody voice from behind the door. The door opened and there stood Rainbow Dash. Her Magenta eyes were puffy and swollen from crying, her choppy rainbow hair was a bird's nest. She stood and stared at Applejack for a minute.
"Oh... it's you. Well, what do you want?" She said angrily.
Applejack stood and stared blankly for a second. She hadn't planned this out at all! What on earth was she thinking?
"I uh... I came to apologise!" She said, holding a crumpled boquet of flowers out to Rainbow Dash.
"Oh... thanks... I guess. But there's no need to apologise! You don't love me, simple as that!!"
"But Dashie, ah do! The only reason ah ran away that night is because ah was shocked, an' ah couldn't accept the fact that ah was a filly fooler!"
"And just what's so bad about that?! I had to put up with homophobes like you in cloud school too! What does the world have against me?!" With that Rainbow Dash broke down and cried.
"Nothin' suagrcube." Applejack said, holding her close, "Absolutely nothin'."
Dash looked into her friend's green eyes and held her gaze. Slowly, she inched forward and kissed her. Applejack kissed back- with passion.
