The heart wants what the hearts wants, right? But what would happen if you never truly knew what your heart wanted? What's supposed to be a usual morning for Applejack quickly turns to chaos as she is left with three questions.

What happened to her?
How will she cope?
Why do the Cutie Mark Crusaders keep following her around?

A big thank you to Kutsune Risu for proofreading it and an even bigger thank you to Jackie for the astounding cover-art

Note: I won't be following the canon established by the S3 finale.

It's obvious to everypony, themselves included, that Applejack and Rainbow Dash have romantic feelings for one another. The only reason they're not together is that they're both convinced that a relationship between them could never work out. Rarity, on the other hoof, is convinced that it could, and Rainbow Dash agrees to a 'three date trial' to prove her wrong...

Many thanks to Ruhje for the amazing cover art!

Original (OLD) version here.

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.

Applejack bites Rainbow Dash's tail off.
