Set in the Nightmare Moon Takeover Timeline of the Season 5 Finale.

When Nightmare Moon cast down Princess Celestia and rose to power in Equestria, Rainbow finally found some sense of pride as one of her chosen Night Guard; pegasi empowered by Nightmare Moon herself as her elite soldiers.

When Rainbow joined the Night Guard, she met Applejack, the only pony she felt she could ever truly rely on. The only pony who ever gave her a sense of joy in her otherwise dreary life.

But when Rainbow discovers a terrible secret hidden by her closest of companions, she will find herself with a difficult choice: Choose her pride as one of Nightmare Moon's finest, or the one thing that brought joy to her life.

Written for the Appledash Contest #4, featuring: "A Place Outside of Ponyville", "Deepest Darkest Secrets"

Applejack asks Rainbow Dash to watch over her house while her family goes out of town for the Apple Family Reunion.

While Rainbow Dash is at the Apple's house, she discovers something of Applejack's that changes everything Rainbow ever knew about her. Something that could change their relationship forever.

If you want to you can skip to Freedom and still have a general jist of what is going down.

Rainbow Dash, Applejack and the others find themselves traveling to a far away land to find a stolen statue. When Applejack and Rainbow Dash are trapped in a cavern and need to find a way out the others tell them there is another way out. Feelings will surface, but not be told. Advice will be asked for and given and then in a very long story will they find out they are made for each other? Join me and lets find out together.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash get stuck together in the Apple family cabin when a freak snow storm prevents them from leaving during a weekend get away. Alone. As time passes, the two begin to learn things they never knew about eachother... And themselves. Appledash shipping. Humanized.

One morning, while plowing one of the fields, Applejack comes across a bracelet, and puts it on.

This turns out to be a grave mistake.

It doesn't take long for Daring Do to show up, and the next thing Applejack knows, she's being dragged off on an adventure to destroy it.

And of course, her girlfriend seems a bit too excited for this adventure...

Originally written for AppleDash Contest 4 (Second chances; Out of place object).

She screwed up, and she knows it. With the twelve year anniversary of Applejack's parents deaths fast approaching, Rainbow Dash managed to do the absolute worst thing one can do; she insulted them. And now she has to try and make it right. Whether Applejack is willing to allow her a chance to do so, however, is another matter entirely.

Hope I can win)

Rainbow has been enjoying her new found relationship with Applejack for some time now. But when she accidentally wrecks all of the hats in A.J's closet, she comes to a realisation.

She's almost never seen Applejack without a hat on.

She doesn't know why, but make no mistake, she will before long...

Entry for the fourth AppleDash contest: AppleDash: With A Little Twist of Lemon

With the categories: "A Life Changing Event" and "A Special Event".

Something's going on. First, Applejack comes in Thursday and says we should go to Manehattan this weekend, then the second she steps hoof off the train, she starts dressing up, drops the accent, and says we should take in a show. I'm not sure what's going on, I think it's got something to do with her snooty aunt and uncle, but whatever it is, I'm going to get to the bottom of it, or my name isn't Rainbow Dash.

Disclaimer: To readers not familiar with the Orchestra-verse, Sweetie and Scootaloo are the leads in their own story, and they've come a long way from their show counterparts. This story is perfectly accessible without reading those works, just know they'll be behaving differently than they would in the show (and are substantially older, though that's a bit more obvious in the story).

Contest Categories:
Deepest Darkest Secrets
A Place Outside Ponyville

As always, special thanks go out to Seether00 and EquesTRON for wading into the weeds of my drafts and hacking away at all the typos, grammar editors, and just plain bad decisions. My stories would be all the poorer without them.

Rainbow Dash can’t wait for her first date with Applejack; they always have an awesome time hanging out, and a relationship just means there are even more physical activities they can try together. So when the dumb zap apple harvest postpones their date, she decides it’s the zap apples that are going to have to change their plans. Equestria should know by now that wild, ancient magic is no match for Rainbow Dash, especially when she might get laid.

Everything is going according to plan, until she crashes. Or, rather, until she wakes up after crashing and fifteen years have gone by. Fifteen years during which she seems to have been a very busy pony.

Now Rainbow Dash has to adjust to a life she never thought she wanted, and figure out if she’ll ever get to live the life that brought her here.
