The arrival of Ponyville's Annual Hearts and Hooves Day is fast approaching. Every pony seems to have a date-except two. As Rainbow Dash and Applejack struggle with their feelings, they see another opportunity arise. If you can't have the pony you really want, why not go for the next best thing?

*Takes place after Season 4 of MLP: FIM*

Not every pony who lives in Cloudsdale is a pegasus. Some are unicorn or earth foals born to pegasus parents; some have been drawn there for employment or love; some simply see it as home and follow their dreams to the clouds.

All survive their days through a regular diet of cloudwalking potions.

And lately - here and there - those potions have begun to mysteriously fail.

It was only supposed to be Rainbow Dash who was dispatched by Princess Twilight to investigate, but even her plans never go as expected. Because Applejack isn't letting her marefriend charge into danger alone.

Rainbow Dash is having an excellent day - that is until a desperate thirst drags her from the sky and into a mess that may take more than simple magic to cure. Can real love bloom amidst the kerfuffle, or will shenanigans reign supreme in this tale of epic cliches and awkward matches?

Applejack’s birthday is coming up. She can tell by her calendar. She can tell by the bitter chill in the morning air that brings a slight ache in her bad knee. And she can tell by her marefriend’s shifty behaviour. Every year was the same: Rainbow Dash would poke and prod, in her cute and not-so-subtle way, trying to weedle information out of her, and Applejack, in turn, would drop hints about what she wanted that year. It was a game they played, one that Applejack gladly participated in, just to see that happy grin on her marefriend’s face as she opened her present and told her it was just what she wanted.

Except this year is different. This year, Rainbow isn’t poking and prodding, she’s acting smug and aloof. Like she knows something Applejack doesn’t. There’s an excited energy about her, one she hasn’t had in a long time, not since she made Captain of the Wonderbolts.

No, this year, something is very different. A difference that’s confirmed when Applejack finds a box on her doorstep one morning. A box addressed to her. From Rainbow. It contains a riddle. The first of many. And she has only six days to solve them all.

Well, Applejack was never one to back down from a challenge.

Entry for, and winner of, the 6th AppleDash competition.

Applejack stumbles upon Rainbow Dash while she's fitting a wedding dress for Rarity.

In the heat of the moment, a poor choice of words is all the difference between pragmatism and spite. Especially when spoken out of anger.

Three weeks without a word to her girlfriend has nagged at the back of Applejack's mind. But she's not in the wrong, she's sure of it.

She was only trying to look out for Rainbow's future.

Entry for the AppleDash Contest. Soak it in, Tcherno. You absolute heathen.

Since dating Rainbow Dash, Applejack's ordinary days are few and far between, especially when Rainbow comes to her asking her to help her find her cloud house which had blown away in a storm just over a week ago.

There's a little more to Rainbow's problem than meets the eye, however, and it's not just where the house landed that's the problem: her own feelings are starting to get involved too...

Contains Appledash, rated teen for mild sexual themes

Rainbow Dash is a hatnapper!

Applejack's petrified about an operation her sister has tomorrow. Good thing Rainbow Dash has a deck of cards and time to spare. But will that be enough to save the farmpony from her worries?

A short story where I challenged myself to write two characters interacting without them ever saying a word.

Contains AppleDash.
