Years passed and life went on.
Big McIntosh and Rarity broke up two weeks later and they wanted to stay friends. But Rarity avoided the farm and the apple family as much as possible. She still had to think about her, every night when she cuddled with that stuffed dragon, and every time she was done, she felt bad. After a year she locked that dragon away, she wanted to forget.
The distance between Applejack and Rarity grew until she was just somebody that she used to know.
Maybe it would have stayed that way… but one day a purple unicorn from Canterlot and her dragon showed up in Ponyville.
After twilight sparkle showed up, a lot changed. Rarity had met her when she was decorating the town hall, and she looked like a mess! Rarity had become a too proud fashionista and just had to help her with her outfit and mane. She was a special unicorn, indeed, but there was someone else who coughed Rarities attention, Spike. Why seemed that chubby little guy so familiar?
After Twilight left she and Rarity went upstairs into her room and looked over to her Shelf, it hit her like a lightning! She opened the shelf and found it! That stuffed dragon Applejack gave her! It had spent some time on the shelf and was a bit dusty, but seeing him brought back memories. She grabbed it with her magic and hold him close, sniffing it, it was weird when she remembered how he used it in her youth, but she cleaned it very often. It just smelled like an old stuffed toy, but the smell made her remember Applejack, the happy time she had with her. She put the dragon on the bed and laid next to him, the thought of reliving this part of her youth was tempting, but right now she only wanted to think while holding this dragon and remembering.
After an hour she left the bed and decided it was time, she wanted to talk to Applejack, apologize for what happened and all the years. Maybe AJ wasn’t her friend anymore, but she needed to make a clear end or a new beginning. She would confront her after the summer sun celebration.
That didn’t work.
An evil nightmare goodess came back to the world, started an eternal night of horror she and five other ponies had to save the world.
Rarity had no time to talk everything out with Applejack, but at least they were some kind of friend again.
At least until everything collided during the most strange slumber party at Twilights place. She and AJ were forced to spend the night there because of a storm and the stuffed aggressions from years came out at once! Maybe they really needed that? Making a bit of air for the anger? They also crushed Twilights house, literal (but just a little!!).
The three ponies worked together to fix the damage and thanks to twilight, Applejack, and Rarity the chance to apologize to each other and have a fun slumber party, like in the good old days.
Later that night, when the two of them were snuggled up in the same bed, AJ had enough courage to snuggle up to Rarity from behind, holding her close. Rarity really enjoyed feeling her warmth and her muscles, she was strong, and made her feel safe. It made her remember why she once was in love with Big McIntosh.
“Applejack? Can you hear me?” she whispered very quite “please don’t answer, just listen. I wanted to say to you, I am really sorry, not for what happened today, but for what happened all these years ago, on the funfair and, with Big McIntosh. I was too proud to talk to you and maybe a bit blind too. I hurt your feelings, and if I could, I would make it good again. You don’t need to forgive me, I deserve to lose a good friend like you.” AJ didn’t speak to her, but AJ nearly cried in happiness, as she felt a warm soft kiss on her neck.
“thank you.” She couldn’t speak anymore because of the tears.
Rarity closed her eyes and enjoyed being held by her friend, she never before had noticed how nice her muscles felt and the feeling of her rough hoof on her flank and her belly and a bit lower.
The two ponies had to be very quiet, they don’t want to wake twilight. The nerdy purple unicorn deserved a good night after a really long day. Rarity enjoyed the very intimate cuddle session with Applejack. She was excited like a filly and even a bit scared, cuddling with a colt or stallion felt nothing like that to her. It was the best cuddle ever! Soon she turned around and cuddle back.
After it was over the two sweating mares just hold each other, heavy breathing and looking into each other eyes. AJ’s beautiful green eyes had this mystical glare thanks to the moonlight falling through the window. They pulled each other into a long-lasting sweet kiss, Rarity never had to wait for a kiss so long, and never did it feel so good. Her heartbeat was racing and it felt even better than just a few seconds ago! AJ’s body was rough and strong thanks to the farm work, but her lips were endless soft and warm. Rarity could have kicked herself for waiting so long. This kiss ended slowly, a small line of saliva was connecting the two females' lips, but it was stretched too long and broke, both mares had to smile.
“How do yah feel now?” AJ whispered very quiet.
“Like, I am finally on top of that big Farris Wheel.” Answered Rarity with a chuckle.
“The big Farris Wheel?” That was the voice of Twilight! The nerdy unicorn was sitting right next to the bed and used her magic to make notes, while she rubbed her hoof against the blanket to get it dry again “Is that lesbian horse slang?” She asked and sounded like she really just wanted to know
Rarity and Applejack nearly jumped up, Rarity pulled the blanket over her to cover her nude pony body.
“Have y’spied on us Twily!?” AJ gasped.
“I couldn’t sleep with all the moaning, and kissing and other sex noises you made. I also don’t want to disturb you, because it felt like you really put down your differences this time. So I decided to make some notes, you are the first lesbian pair I know! You should have told me sooner!”
“You are incredible Twilight Sparkle! It’s rude to come up in such a moment… a-and make notes of two ponies making love!” Rarity was still covering her body, she was aware that ponies are supposed to be nude, but right now, she felt very vulnerable.
“But it’s for since!” Said twilight, she sniffled her hoof, probably to check its dry now “sweet, delicious… science.”
“Not even for science!” Shouted Rarity blushing, realizing what twilight did with her hoof, while she was using her magic to take notes on this very intimate moment between her and Applejack.
“But… Science?”
“No butts, Sugarcube!” said AJ and hold her hoof to AJ “gimme that notes!”
Twilight sighed and gave her that piece of paper, and the other five pages, AJ and Rarity flipped through it and blushed heavy, Twilight had a very detailed and explicit writing style!
“But… you have to answer me some questions, for science.” Demanded the purple unicorn.
“Fine… tomorrow.” Said Rarity “To be honest, this whole situation is very new to me too. This, was somehow our first… moment?”
AJ pulled Rarity into a hug and the blanket felt, the perfect white marshmallow body was revealed, but AJ covered her with her big strong legs and hooves.
“And ah have waited for that first time for so long… please twilly, give us some time.” Said Aj while holding Rarity.
Twilight blushed and smiled “Yes, you are right… but… at least, one question? Just a small one so I can go to sleep?”
Rarity sighed and answered “Finer, what do you want to know?”
“Just, what is your plan now?”
