"I don't see why I can't just walk there." Spike whined as he clung to Rainbow's back as she ascended upwards to fly to Applejack's farm.
"Cause you're slow as shit!" She replied while picking up speed. "I'm not going to just wait there for an hour for you to show up!"
Rainbow pulled up and went into cruise mode. Spike didn't know what to do with his hands, so he just put them behind his head. "I feel so damn awkward!" He complained over the howl of the wind. "Do I kick my heels into you to make you go faster or do I poke you with my dick?" He smirked.
"I thought you already were- Oh, my bad, that's a twig stuck in my coat." She cackled.
"Careful, I'm riding you right now, I could give you a single, brown racing stripe down your back." He warned.
"Careful, You're riding me, I could just do a barrel roll and you're dead." She looked back to him, over her shoulder to give him a smile.
"Touche." He responded. Then he remembered why they were going there in the first place, and got back into his planning mode. "Are you ready for this?"
"Yeah, why?" She asked. "It doesn't seem like that big of a deal. You explained it pretty simple."
"Yeah, I said that you should be ready for work, though." He reminded her with a chuckle. "You remember last time when Applejack didn't have any help with applebuck season? She was so out of her mind that she seemed like she was smokin' the ganja! And she was only like a quarter of the way done!"
"What's your point?" She asked, already knowing what he was getting at.
"You're going to have to work, probably as hard as you ever have had to before." He told her with a pant on her back. "I've already told Bigmac about our plan, he wasn't exactly crushed about having to skip out on all the work."
Rainbow thought about it. "I'm not sure if I like your plan anymore." She hesitated. Spike slapped her in the face from her back. She swerved to the left, but then regained control quickly. "You ass! What was that for?"
"This is how you're going to start things with Applejack!" Spike reprimanded her. "If you really love that bitch, then this shouldn't be that hard."
"You're right." She agreed. "But how much work are we talking about?" She worried.
Spike just laughed. "Applejack has been kicking those trees everyday of her life, and she can't finish half of them in applebuck season. You're going to have some fun!" He could feel her gulp from her back. "Com'on ya pussy! Earn that bitch!"
"Your like a fucking poet." She remarked sarcastically. "So you are sure that this will work?"
"Don't question my methods of seduction." Spike suddenly seemed serious. "As long as you tough this out and make it to the end with her, then yes. By the way, what convinced you that you were into girls?"
"Well, first of all they are just more attractive." She reported.
"That they are." Spike agreed with a head nod. "That they are."
"There's a story that solidified my emotions about it, but I'm not telling you that story while you're on my back." She stated over her shoulder.
"Ohh." Spike teased. "Sounds naughty..."
"Also one time when I was in town I saw this couple together and I guess she said something hot to him that gave him a boner." She told him. "No pony ever wheres clothes either, so he had a hard time of hiding his dick. It looked like a thick tube with a fucking hook at the end! No thank-you. I'll stick with delicious tacos instead of disgusting meat-hooks.
"I think you should have that story published." Spike laughed on her back. "Alright, I'm satisfied for now, time to get back to Applejack."
"What am I suppose to say to her?" Rainbow asked nervously. "I've only really talked to her when we were competing or something else was going on."
"Just compliment her a little." Spike instructed. "I'm not saying like things I was say to Rarity... No staring intently at her ass or anything..."
"What?" Rainbow thought she misheard.
"Nothing. Just subtle little things, like her hair or some other crap like that. If you start feeling nervous around her, don't. Concentrate and force those feeling right back down to HELL!" Spike coached his friend. "Just light things. Find something to talk about that doesn't make you sweat so damn much..." Spike noticed that her coat was becoming damp with perspiration.
"I'm nervous." She muttered.
"I can tell, damn." He wiped his hands off on his leg. "Just relax! I'm drowning back here! I thought that ponies were like dogs with sweating."
"No, dumb-ass. You've never seen a pony sweat before?" She asked with a nervous chuckle.
"Not nearly as much as you." He answered. They were approaching the farm faster now, they could see the orange farmer stretching, getting ready for a long day of work. "There she is, go get her- Wait, what am I suppose to do now? I can't be sitting on you're back the whole time."
"Just hide then." Rainbow suggested.
"Where?"
"Here." She responded with diving head first into a bushy tree. She continued at the same speed out of it, minus the baby dragon on her back.
"A branch jabbed my nipple!" Spike called from the tree to his fleeing friend. He crawled to the end of a sturdy branch and moved a few leaves so that he could see.
Rainbow stopped on a dime and walked over to Applejack with a false stride that displayed her being casual. "H-Hey Applejack! What's going on?" She recovered from the choke on the first word. Well, this will be painless. Spike thought sarcastically.
"Oh, howdy Rainbow." Applejack greeted as she fished her stretch and turned around. "Ah was just gettin' ready for- Whoa! Rainbow, are you feelin' alright?" She observed her sweating, red-faced friend with a countenance of concern. Spike sighed. Why the hell did I let her go in there not drugged up?
"Yeah, I just... tried to set a new record." Rainbow grinned with the lie.
"For what?" She asked, cocking her head.
Rainbow Dash didn't know what to say so she just blurred out the first thing that came to mind. "Flying."
"And that's different?" Applejack chuckled.
"Meh, I try for a lot of different records about flying." She decided it was a successful lie. That's my dyke! Spike thought proudly. "So what's going on with you?"
"Dang Bicmac hurt himself again." She answered, agitated. Spike saw Bigmac in the threshold of the barn and gave a nod that said 'good job, this will work.' He returned with a nod of his own that said 'yup'. "So ah got to buck all these trees by mahself."
"I could help you." Rainbow offered with a shy smile.
"It's alright, Rainbow." Applejack told her friend. "Ah know that yer tired, you can go take a nap if ya want."
"I'm fine." Rainbow declined. "You could use some help with all these trees."
"Really Rainbow, ah can do it." Oh shit. There's a hitch in the plan!
"Please, Applejack." Rainbow insisted while looking into her eyes, trying to keep her color from changing to red completely. "I want to help you."
Applejack pondered it for a while. "Alright, fine. Y'all can help me out if ya want to so much." She smiled with what could be a construable faint blush. "Thanks." This might be easier then I thought... "let's see what ya can do with them legs of yours!"
Rainbow loosened up a bit after getting weirdly intense all of a sudden, although, it did seem to get positive results. She scanned all the trees and noticed that they all had buckets under them, ready to be bucked. "I got this." She said confidently as she totted over to a tree. She hopped off her hind legs and kicked the tree with full force. The fruit that was previously sheltered in the tree's protection, was now tumbling down into the buckets neatly. Rainbow smiled at Applejack proudly. "Not bad, huh?"
Applejack just smirked and tapped the tree she was leaning on with a hoof. All the apples instantly became gravity's bitch and were now piled in the buckets. "Not bad for a flyer." Applejack laughed. "Let's see how long ya last." She walked to the next tree. Rainbow looked back to Spike in the tree. He mouthed 'you can do it.' to try and encourage his friend. Rainbow took a deep breath and charged the tree in front of her.
***
"Yer lasting a lot longer then ah thought ya would!" Applejack commented, surprised that Rainbow was keeping up with her. It had been a few hours since they had started, they had bucked at least a quarter of the trees already. Rainbow was determined to at the very least earn Applejack's respect. They were both kicking the trees without losing any momentum at all. Rainbow would sneak in a quick glance at Applejack's flank while she bucked the trees, admiring it's beauty.
"When I said that I'd help... I meant it." Rainbow panted, using everything she had to keep up with Applejack. "I'm not going to stop until you do!" I think she'll pass out before she beats Applejack... Spike thought to himself. He had been in the same tree the entire time, Rainbow intentionally missed that one.
"Ah appreciate the help... Ah really do." They paused to catch their breath. "But why are you wanting to help all of a sudden? You never just want to help."
"I want to help you, though." Rainbow hid her blush with her already red face from working so hard. Not very subtle... But I like it. I can tell that she is actually serious with what she says though. Like I would ever give up breathing fire... Bitch, you must be crazy. "I couldn't let you do all this by yourself."
"What do ya say we pick up the pace?" She smiled, feeling better from their short break.
Rainbow took another deep breath. and thought to herself: I'm really contemplating how much I like you... "Let's do it." They tapped their hoofs together and got right back to work.
***
"I'm done!" Rainbow quit, collapsing to the ground. Every single of her muscles ached with pain from the day's labor. They had been working for hours, it was around two in the morning. They both got caught up with kicking the trees, it had slowly turned into a competition to see who could do more. "I can't do it anymore!"
Applejack wobbled over, she was tired too. "Ya picked a good time to quit." She laughed, laying down beside her with more grace then Rainbow did. "We bucked all of the trees. We are done."
Rainbow looked at her. "Seriously?" She scanned all the barren trees around them. "I thought Applebuck season was like a week long thing?"
"Normally, it is." She grinned. "But normally we don't go nearly as fast as we did, or as long as we did." She looked up at the dark sky. While they were working they hadn't even noticed that the day already passed. They both just laid there, resting their tired bodies.
Rainbow saw this as an opportunity. She looked into her eyes. "I've never met anypony that was as strong as you before." She thought to herself: Compliment her hair? Fuck that, Spike. She likes her strength more then her mane!
Applejack's face turned crimson. "Thanks, Rainbow." She looked away, thinking. "You seem different today, it's like your... Hey, is that tree still full of apples?" A shine from an apple gave her an excuse to stop her original thought. Holy shit. It's actually working... I need Spike to teach me his secrets... Rainbow thought. Applejack got up and trotted over to the tree.
Rainbow realized that it was the tree the housed Spike, who was probably asleep since it was early into the morning of the next day. Up in the tree, Spike had gotten comfortable in a spot where the branches parted perfectly so that he didn't fall. Unless there was a force that shook him out of the tree. Before Rainbow could do anything to stop the uncomfortable Applejack, she used a bit of her last reserves of energy to kick the last tree. It shook violently enough to evict him from his temporary bed. As he fell through the air, he jolted awake. So he could feel the impact of the ground with consciousness. "Aw, Damn it! Son of a whore." He muttered as he picked himself off the ground. He then noticed Applejack staring at him with Rainbow behind her trying to conceal her laughter from his fall. "Oh hey! What's up with you guys?" He played it off.
Applejack just kept staring at him with a dumbfounded expression. "How- How long have ya been up there?" She asked. "And fer that matter, WHY were ya up there?"
"It's faster then walking." He smirked. Applejack just glared. "I was going over... There." He pointed off into the distance for no where specific. "Then it got dark so I decided that I should stop sleep there for the night and continue my journey in the morning."
Applejack glanced over to Rainbow to get her opinion. "Faster then walking." She nodded her head in agreement. Applejack detected a lie, but then shook her head and decided to let it pass.
"So what are you guys up to?" Spike asked casually. "'Bucking' those trees... at night?" He then observed that it was well into the night and they still out working.
"Actually we just finished." Applejack informed him with a smile of accomplishment. "Whole week of applebuckin' and we did it in one day."
"Really?" Spike was shocked at the new information. "I guess Rainbow is stronger then you thought, huh?" Spike suggested.
She turned around and gazed at Rainbow, who was getting ready to stand once more. "Yeah, a lot stronger." She trailed off into her thoughts. Rainbow's face was still red from work so the blush was camouflaged, Applejack's, however, was not. She turned back to Spike, avoiding eye contact with Rainbow Dash. Rainbow beamed at Spike behind her back and gave the pony equivalent of a thumbs up. I guess things have been going well... Spike concluded from Rainbow's excitement. "It's gettin' pretty late." Applejack turned away, towards her house. "Ah'll see y'all tomorrow. Thanks Rainbow for all the help today." She fled to her home. Rainbow and Spike just watched her leave, silently, until she was out of ear-shot.
"Dude!" They brohoofed in unison. "It looks like things went well?" Spike grinned, leaning to catch Applejack slowly trot into her house.
"Yeah, it was kind-of awkward, but it still went better then I thought it would." She reported. "That sucked some dick, though. Kicking these trees isn't as easy as it looks. And that fall was awesome, it looked pretty painful."
"It was." He rubbed his aching back. Things are going hell of a lot faster then what I thought." Spike observed. "My initial estimation of this kind of attitude from her was in like a month from now."
"You thought it was going to take that long?" Rainbow questioned.
"She's supposedly straight, so yeah, I thought it would take longer then a night for her to be blushing around you." Spike continued. "One would think that it would take longer to get the idea of banging the same gender."
Rainbow shrugged as they started walking back to town. "Well, I'm not really going to argue with it, though. By the way, where did you learn all this stuff from?"
"I'm a dragon. It's what we do." Spike announced.
"Have sex with things?" Rainbow laughed.
"You know it!" He confirmed.
"What's next, though?" Rainbow asked.
Spike pondered the question a bit before coming up with an answer. "Oh! Twilight's doing some dumb-ass hike for science tomorrow. She was about to ask you all if you wanted to go or not anyway, so get Applejack to go with us and make your next move there."
"A hike?" Rainbow complained. "How the hell is that for science?"
"I don't know, nor do I care." Spike replied. "All the females are thinking 'ohh look at the beauty of nature!' or some other shit like that. I'm planning on getting Rarity to go too. It'll be a good time to get some time with them."
"I can't talk to Applejack unless we're doing something, without getting all serious about it." Rainbow stated. "I can't just walk with her."
"Same with me a Rarity. Don't worry, I got a little somthin-somethin that will help you relax around her." Spike remembered his little mixture he used with Rarity, he went through the list of ingredients in his head.
"I doubt it. You think that Pinkie Pie will be there?" Rainbow snickered.
Then it dawned on Spike. They were going out into the woods. With her. Oh SHIT! If she's ever going to do whatever she had planned, it's going to be then. "On Second thought, I'll hold down the fort. You can get Applejack, I believe in you."
"I don't understand why you're so terrified of her." Rainbow chuckled. "She's one of the nicest mares I know!
"She's SATAN!" Spike shouted at her, remembering the murderous face of Pinkie.
"If I go then you have to too." Rainbow demanded. "I'm not hiking all damn day with no-one to actually talk to."
Spike caved for his friend. "When I go missing, don't believe the suicide note." He warned.
"Good. And I thought that you said you were going to wait like three days before messing with Rarity again." Rainbow remembered.
"Yeah, but I think that the hike is a good place to get 'lost from the group' and heroically save her from the wilderness." Spike hinted.
"You know that you're a devious son of a bitch, right?" Rainbow commented with a grin.
"Of course." Spike responded, smiling. "It's a good thing."
Earn my respect and love by thumbing this bitch up!
Also, what's it take to get featured? I'm not sure if they will feature this because it is too...mature. Does it need more views?
