Applejack stopped reading and glared at me. "Not right now, Rainbow."

"Oh come ooooon, Applejack!" I matched her glare right back. "What's with you?" My heart pounded as I slowly managed to hover closer to her—almost close enough to steal her book away. The book she was, for some reason, determined to keep out of my hooves. I'd only managed to see the cover. Not that it helped any, seeing as it had nothing on it. What kind of book has a blank cover, anyway?

"For the last time, Rainbow Dash: would ya just leave me be?" Applejack got up, snapped her book closed, and started trotting away from me. Again.

Horseapples.

I followed her, of course. "At least tell me what you're reading."

She only shook her head in response, this time heading up the stairs. First it was the kitchen, then the basement, then the living room...

"Please?" I asked, almost begging.

Applejack paused mid-stride and her shoulders slumped as she heaved a sigh. The kind of sigh that I know means I messed up. "Rainbow Dash?"

She didn't even turn around to look at me.

I frowned. Applejack never does that unless I really did something wrong.

"Sugarcube, I know ya mean well—I really do—"

Phew. Maybe I didn't mess up as bad as I thought.

"—But can we please not do this today?" After a moment, she set the book down and turned around, looking me in the eye.

I cocked my head at her, nonplussed. "Do what today?"

Applejack looked as if she was going to yell at me, but suddenly changed her mind. "Ya know what?"

"What?" Would she finally let me see the stupid book already? I've gotta admit, it was about time. Whatever it is, it must be good.

A pair of lips met my own for barely a second before they'd retreated. I almost leaned in for another taste, but Applejack apparently had other plans.

"I think..." A momentary look of hesitation crossed Applejack's face. "I think I'm ready to tell you... 'bout what's goin' on." She smiled softly, picked up her book, and motioned for me to follow her upstairs.

Well, that was... intriguing. I don't suppose there's a chance for a continuation?

This takes place before Apple Bloom and more in this series will be written when good prompts show up.

I see... well, I look forward to the next one, then.

... I really don't like this, splitting it between prompts. Just seems lazy.
