"Ah- Ah'm sorry... You can go sleep on the couch now..." Applejack said dejectedly. "Why would I do that?" Rainbow Dash asked a small smile on her lips  "Because yah must ha-" Applejack started but was cut off by a pair of lips on hers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow smiled as her lover returned the kiss. When they pulled away Applejack had tears in her eyes. "Who said I didn't love you?" Rainbow Dash said fighting to keep her own tears back. "No one sugarcube no one." Applejack smiled laying down her head.  Rainbow just smiled as she hugged her friend and they slipped into a blissful, happy sleep together. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning the mares were awoken abruptly by a loud knock. "Am comin Am comin." Applejack said groggily getting out of bed looking at the Pegasus.  "Mornin AJ." the rainbow maned mare yawn shaking her head. Applejack walked to the front door and saw a white coated unicorn with flowers.  "Hi Applejack......" Rairity said shakily before giving her the flowers. "What are these fah sugarcube?" Applejack asked looking down "Uhh...." Rairity started before taking off. "Ok...." Applejack said confused  A note fell out of the flowers and Applejack picked it up "For the sweetest country pony that I love- Love Rarity." "Oh no."   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rairity stopped after a little while of running. She started to turn around when she heard hoofsteps "R-Rarity! S-Stop!" a country voice yelled. The hoofsteps turned into an orange earth pony running towards her. "Applejack!" she said trying to hide her excitement. "Ah-Ah read the letter-" Applejack started but was cutoff by a hug from Rarity. "I love you to Applejack,I love you to." She sobbed happily. "Am sorry... Ah just don't feel the same way..." Applejack said sadly  "Wh-what?" Rarity said tears brimming "Am sorry.." Applejack said turning away. Rarity's eyes narrowed as she raced away. , "She will love me.."   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Applejack walked back a pair of blue eyes watched her- unknown.  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
