One fateful morning, Princess Luna finds Celestia has turned into a megalomaniacal tyrant with one clear goal in mind: to be sent to the moon. She even has her bags packed and everything.

So what about this seems off?

Now with a youtube reading! HERE!

Both Applejack and Rainbow come home late and talk about their day. Neither actually listens.

Contains unrepentant AppleDash.

It started out as a normal day. The crusaders had a new idea for getting cutie marks, and then Apple Bloom borrowed Applejack's hat for something without asking.

Suddenly... it was no longer a normal day.

Nietzsche, I need sleep.

Rainbow Dash doesn't do sappy. Mushy, cute, sweet, and romantic are also totally out. So of course she has a crush on an awesome pony who's none of those things: Applejack. Now she just has to find a not-mushy, not-romantic, totally cool way to tell her.

A trip for two to an island paradise seems like the perfect time. Swimming, volleyball, jet skiing, snorkeling-- plenty of chances for a really awesome moment. But when her dumb feelings only let her see sappy romance at every turn, her nightmares might just ruin everything.

During a party at Twilight's new castle, Rainbow Dash finds out one of her friends has been hiding a secret.

Applejack is chosen as The Nightmare's new host.

It really isn't that big of a deal. Until it is.

While welcoming a foreign dignitary to Princess Twilight's Palace, Applejack refers to the single monarch as "Y'all." This, of course, causes the entire Kingdom of Equestria to explode into flames.

Okay, maybe not explode into flames, but it could happen... right? Just ask Twilight...

Meh.

As the Grand Galloping Gala draws near, Rainbow Dash is set to impress with the dress Rarity had designed. She is met with approval from all but one pony.

Takes place during the episode of "Make New Friends but Keep Discord"

Lotus is a professional masseuse. She sees the pony below the skin, and tends to coax just as much out of their mouths as their muscles. Late one day, she gives three very different massages to three close friends, all of whom mention a name she isn't familiar with: Applejack.

The original version of the story took 5th place in The Writeoff Association's February 2015 contest, "Closing Time"

When a bag full of drawings falls from the sky onto Applejack's head, she wouldn't have expected an old secret Rainbow Dash had been keeping to be revealed, for her to lose a fight with a fridge, and for the two of them to open up to each other in more ways than one.

But that's only if Applejack stops being furious at her friend for lying. Again.

Contains AppleDash, and fridge warfare. Rated Teen for the mildest of strong words.
