Applejack and Rainbow Dash share a moment together while apple bucking.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash share a moment together before dawn.

Look, I heard you the first time! Yeesh, I wish you'd stop staring at me, as if you're reading my thoughts. 'Cuz if you could, then you'd know that while this is the first thing I'd want to do, it's also the last! I mean, horseapples, things would be a heck of a lot easier if I'd known ahead of time that Twilight and the rest of the girls had only packed three sleeping bags instead of six for this mountain hike! For realsies, if you had any friggin' clue how many restless nights I've spent thinking about you, fantasizing situations like this, then you'd know... you would freaking know how impossible it is for me to actually... sh-share a sleeping bag with my totally not-sexy-in-any-way best friend... (*ULP*) ... overnight... s-so that we could keep our bodies warm in the cold, cold forest. Grnnnng! Alright... alright! I'll do it! Of c-course I'll do it! I'm awesome! I'm not afraid of anything! Okay... I can do this... I can totally do this... I can... I can... I-I...

What happens when you realize that your feelings for one of your friends aren't quite the same as your feelings for the rest of them? Do you just prefer some friends for others, or is it a sign of something deeper? What do you do with those feelings? Hide them? Admit them? And how will the rest of your friends react when they find out?

Twilight is going to have to do her best to find the answers, because they're anything but obvious.

Yes, this is a story about romance, but I'm trying to use it to explore the relationships between the characters and see how they'd really react if romantic feelings ever did crop up, and how such a development would impact the cast as a whole.

Now with a TvTropes page!

There's also a dramatic reading in progress on youtube, here.

Derpy Hooves is secretly a changeling.

Nopony particularly notices, or cares.

It is the first court session that three alicorns of Equestria will be holding together but Celestia has other plans for this court session that are less diplomatic and bit more scandalous.

This is my entry fer the TwiLestia contest, I hope you enjoy.

Rainbow Dash needs Applejack's help to convince her dad that she's too close to her friends in Ponyville to be set up with any stallions in Cloudsdale. Can she really help it if things happen so that he thinks these two are closer than friends? Now Applejack thinks she's being sized up as Dash's friend while Rainbow Blaze thinks he's judging a fiancé. How long until Applejack and Rainbow Blaze realize they're having two different conversations?

My name is Captain Ares Andrews. I'm an AH-64 Apache pilot attached to the 101st Airborne division in Ft Campbell Kentucky. I'm not suffering PTSD, I didn't get sucked through a portal, or any of that nonsense. In fact, the last time I even heard the name 'Rainbow Dash', I was a college kid. That show went off the air like five years ago! But, regardless of when the last time I dove into the land of pony art and stories was, it doesn't change the fact that I have something in my house that fans of the show would probably kill for. And I have no idea how she got here, when she's leaving, whether or not she's even real. But she's here alright.

Twilight still isn't used to taking care of her new wings, despite being able to fly with them just fine. When a loose feather starts to bug her on one of their date nights, Princess Celestia decides to help her out. Not without a little naughtiness, of course.
