Applejack and Rainbow Dash have a conversation in bed, and worries are addressed.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash believed in the magic of friendship. They were left shattered and betrayed when one of their closest friends acted out at them, due to a hidden homophobic streak that leaves the loving pair hurt and the ex-friend lonely and regretful. However, when Rainbow, the Element of Loyalty, extends her hand of friendship tentatively, it is up to the outcast to make things right and depending on the true magic of friendship, the mane 7 will either be restored and live happily into eternity or meet with tragedy and loss. One thing is for certain. The true strength of friendship, once thought unbreakable is put to the ultimate test.

The Summer Sun Celebration was never typically associated with second chances, not until Twilight Sparkle and her friends discovered the Elements of Harmony and used them to cleanse the jealousy from the heart of Princess Luna, at least. On that fateful night, two seconds chances were granted:

One for Luna herself, that she might seek forgiveness from her sister and the citizens of Equestria for her actions.

The other was for Princess Celestia, that she might once again find some measure of happiness after a thousand years of loneliness.

Some years later, however, another mare hopes for a second chance of an entirely different nature. She knows she doesn’t deserve it. She knows it’s stupid to even ask.

So why the hell can’t she just let it lie?

Applejack realizes one morning that Rainbow Dash has apparently moved in with her. This discovery surprises Dash more than a little, too, and sets off a chain of events neither could have imagined.

The original minific version of this story came in fifth in the Dec. 2015 Writeoff Association contest, "Things Left Unsaid." And the full, three-chapter-and-an-epilogue version won 3rd place in The Fourth AppleDash Contest: A Little Twist of Lemon using the categories "A Life-Changing Event" and "An Important or Memorable Date."

Your classic, everyday romance and adventure story with the best couple, musical numbers and plotline ever.
Applejack has always been the subject of bullying at her school, mainly because of her style of clothing and Southern accent. She found it hard to live with this most days, but when a poster appeared announcing needed members for a band, well, she thought she'd found her chance.
Of course, she felt moreso when she met the founder, Rainbow Dash.

Big thanks to all who helped with this story - editors, song writers, and, of course, the users who post supporting comments on every chapter.

Just a cute story on how I'd like to believe Rainbow Dash and Applejack became a couple. Hopefully it's cute and turns all of you to sniveling heaps curled up on the floor.

If you don't like this story, please leave a reason why in the comments. Thank you.

A lot can change between friends in a span of ten years. Applejack and Rainbow Dash know this better than anypony. And here they are now, exchanging marks and reciting vows before the princesses and half of Equestria. It feels like a dream, but a nightmare too.

But after today, from that fateful aisle to their wedding bed, their hearts will beat as one, forevermore, until the end of their days.

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.

Princess Luna is the guardian of the dreams of all the ponies in Equestria. She takes great pride and great pleasure in this duty, but when the dreams of Applejack and Rainbow Dash keep forcing themselves upon her, she finds her waking world tinted by the nightly passions of two ponies who can't quite seem to admit to each other what they want.

Amazing dramatic reading here!
Incredibly British dramatic reading here!

A series of Appledash shorts, written with the proofreader being my trusty Spellcheck. :P I might do songfics [minus lyrics], interpretations of scenes from the show, etc.

Previously named 'The Streets of Manehattan', but since there's an annoying little plot bunny gnawing on my brain I changed the title/image. :D
