Six months ago, Rainbow Dash moved to Griffonstone to be a flying instructor. During the cold winter holidays, she returns to Ponyville to reunite with Applejack and Rarity. Feelings she left unresolved come flooding back to her.

Coming home is easy; the problem is that she might never want to leave again.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash have been close friends for a long time and, for some reason Rainbow Dash has never been able to understand, it seems as if everyone she knows expects them to get together eventually. To Rainbow Dash's surprise, Applejack abruptly decides that their friends are right and asks her out on a date. To Applejack's surprise, Rainbow Dash immediately turns her down.

Unfortunately for Rainbow Dash, Applejack is nothing if not stubborn, and she declares that she won't give up until Rainbow Dash has agreed to go on a date with her, no matter what it takes.

Rainbow Dash comes home to her marefriend Applejack. After a busy day of farmwork, Applejack has some fruit that she needs to count. Rainbow just wants to sniff her mane.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders are bored. They just can't find a way to go about looking for their cutie marks. In their boredom, they begin to wrestle around the room, but Scootaloo ends up breaking a wall and now they need to fix it.

When they go to ask Applejack for the toolbox, however, they walk in on her doing something with a close friend of her's, something that looks a lot like, as Apple Bloom would call it, "wrasslin'."

Sure, that's what it looks like, but what's really going on here?

Just a quick note about the contradictory rating. There is some sexual content, but nothing horribly explicit to make this fic Mature. Just wanted to clear that up.

Rainbow Dash has always been Applejack's best friend, but when something unexpected happens, and they thought about themselves in a different way, will everything be the same again? Would they thought the same thing? Would their friends accept their decission?

On the other side, Applebloom is having troubles to tell a fellow crusader her feelings, so seeks the advice of her sister.
Scootaloo was insecure about something, and she needs Dash help to get through, will everything go as expected?

Sometimes, when you've lost so much, when everything you do seems to come out wrong, and when you don't feel like anything but a failure, it can seem like there is no other option but to give up.

But when one pony feels so lost, so inconsolable, so forlorn, that she makes a life-changing decision that almost leaves her shattered forever, it is up to her friends to bring her back.

When you lose something that you can't replace, when you love someone but it goes to waste, and when the tears come streaming down your face, is there anyone who you can turn to...

...to fix you?

Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo swap bodies. What could possibly go wrong?

After an incident between Applejack and Rainbow Dash, the two are finding it hard to communicate with each other. However, when a friend suggests a pilgrimage to help Applejack settle her feelings over memories of the past, Rainbow Dash and Applejack find that they may have to redefine their friendship.

“Hey RD! Come pick me up at the ’Acres at seven. We’re goin’ on a date tonight.”

“What?!”

Applejack seems determined, Rainbow Dash tries to catch up.
