Rainbow Dash lives an exciting life and is swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria. She would gladly give it all up, though, just to confess her love to Applejack.
"But, to tell the truth, Rainbow," Applejack said, slowing her wagon a bit upon seeing the mares in front of her shuffling to a stop. "I dun take particular pride in whoopin' the keisters of creatures in nasty parts of Equestria." Her muzzle scrunched. "Not one bit."
"Pffft..." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes.
Applejack turned her head as if she heard it. "...what?"
"I dun believe that for one bit," Rainbow said with a smirk.
"You callin' me a liar?"
"Don't you love going to rodeos?" Rainbow Dash waved one hoof, then the other. "Winning blue ribbons? Stealing the spotlight?"
"Mmmmm—sure. I reckon."
"And don't you like winning a good race when there's a beaten path laid out in front of you?"
"Heh... you bet."
"You like competition! You like showing the rest of the world your stuff!" Rainbow Dash leaned back with a lazy smile. "There's gotta be a piece of you... some piece that enjoys taking a freaky bad guy who deserves it and taking 'em to the woodshed."
"I'm not just some brash daredevil of a mare, Rainbow," Applejack said. "I've gotta be an example to my lil' sis."
"Pffft... and I dun get to be an example?"
"To who?"
"Uhhh..." Rainbow tapped her chin, eyes twitching. "... ... ...Scootaloo?"
"Eugh... like you gotta encourage her."
"Hey! You know Scoots! The lil' scamp could use a pat on the back for all the crud she goes through!"
"I mean... heh..." Applejack chuckled. "Heheheh... the darn thang's a little spitfire. She doesn't need you to make her think that she can take on the world."
"You're saying I'd lead her astray?"
"No, but she's pretty much... well... a little you in the makin'! I mean, let's face it, Rainbow Dash!" Applejack adjusted the brim of her hat. "Equestria can only handle one flank-kickin' speedster, much less two of them."
"Heh. Yeah. Guess we'd make the continent implode, huh?"
"Look, ya got me ramblin' now." Applejack sighed. "It's simple, Rainbow. When I gotsta kick butt... then I gotsta. But you and Scootaloo? And other ponies? Y'all are cut from a different cloth. Me? I ain't got nothin' to prove."
"And we do?"
"Y'all enjoy showin' off. And that's fine!" Applejack smirked. "Quite frankly, it's excitin' enough to just... be around amazin' ponies like you. T'ain't no need in stealin' the spotlight when somepony else is good at it."
Rainbow blinked. She deflated a little bit. "Oh..." She bit her lip. "I guess I do that a lot."
"Well, ya used to."
Rainbow looked up. "Huh?"
"Seems like you wisened up a bit after these last few months," Applejack said. "Ya ain't an annoyin' show off like ya used to be. There once was a time when you drove me and everypony else crazy. Hah! I swear."
"Jee..." Rainbow smirked bitterly. "Thanks."
"But... guess you got yer act together, cuz I dun think I've ever seen a pony mature or... get sm-smart as plum fast as you have. It's inspirin', really. I'd be lyin' if I said I was the only pony who thought so."
Rainbow blinked. Her lips parted, and a gentle breath came out. "Jee... thanks..."
"And, between you and me, if life was ever to throw somethin' our way for anypony to beat up, I'd rather you be doin' it."
"Oh yeah? Why?"
"Why else?" Applejack stifled a yawn. "Cuz you sure do enjoy bein' the hero. And it's downright fun just... watchin' ya do it."
Rainbow Dash blinked. The tips of her wings fluttered. "You... y-you really think s—?"
"Alright, girls. I think this is as good a place as ever!" Twilight said, standing in a clearing. She waved a hoof up high to stop the procession. "Park it right there, AJ."
"Huh?" Rainbow craned her neck. "What for? Why are we stopping?"
"Why else?" Pinkie hopped up into the wagon and shook her bag once, unleashing a monsoon of table-cloths and food containers across the ground. "Snack Time!"

DAMMIT PINKIE! WE DO NOT NEED SNACKS AT A TIME LIKE TH- Wait, what kind of snacks?
*looks at chapter title*
...uh, there isn't a sex tag on this.
that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
etc, etc...
you know....I'm honestly surprised that there wasn't a knock forward accidental kiss from the wagon stopping.
because seriously, you two are so obviously crushing on each other with the mutual admiration/inspiration. One of you, confess to the other...oh wait, Dash is too timid to make a move and thanks to Rarity, AJ thinks you're into stallions.
Luna in the moon...this whole situation is a clusterfck
6727193 i completely forgot about the whole stallion thing
What with this being Rainbow's autobiography as written by Scootaloo, I almost half-expected Rainbow and Applejack to start singing her praises.
I think it's cute how Dash starts sounding more like AJ when they spend a little bit of time together. I'm having a hard time imagining what Dash's scratchy voice coupled with AJ's drawl would sound like, though.

Darn it, I have my younger cousin in the room and when I started laughing at this she immediately ran to look. Now I have to avoid answering what you meant and getting her to forget about it so she doesn't ask her parents. Thanks a lot.
Yeah I killed it, Stu's a boring fuck. Applejack just enjoys being around "amazing ponies" like Rainbowdash. The only thing sad about this is thats the most Appledashing we've ever had here. So that means the vilian/conflict is about to show up.
See, now this, this is nice.
Continents, colons, same difference.

Sorry to necro reply you, but I gotta plug this one since a lot people don't know; Ashleigh Ball, the VA for Applejack and Rainbow sounds like a good mix between the two when she sings (though she tends towards Applejack).
And booooy howdy can she sing! Just look up some songs by "Hey Ocean" and try to imagine AppleDash singing it.
