//------------------------------// // Boundaries // Story: Boundaries // by Wheezyandbreezy //------------------------------// The camera zoomed in on the front of Canterlot High just as school was letting out for the day and several couples could be seen pouring out of the front double doors, including but not limited to a flag twirler on the arm of a young man in a letterman jacket each with a conspicuous ring glimmering on their clasped hands. The background score was once again unconquerably bouncy, but with a more warm and relaxed sound to its bounciness. Our favorite gang of gal pals all stood in the music room tuning their instruments, waiting for the last two of their group to show up for lead guitar and bass respectively. Twilight sighed contentedly. "I'm glad things are back to normal." Sunset Shimmer felt the lingering sting of the celebration session with Mistress Fluttershy and grinned. "Yup, the less evil love eating bug monsters the better." "And I got to high five Cadence!" Rarity said, puffing her chest out proudly. Their conversation was cut short by a streak of Rainbow shooting through the room to behind Pinkie's drum kit. "Hide me!" The terrified athlete squeaked. "Oh no, what now?!" Each of the girls said as one. "Woo hoo! Evil bug monster two electric boogaloo!" Pinkie cheered. They all peered around the drum kit to the remarkably compressed ball of quivering blue girl. "What did you do this time Rainbow?" Sunset asked in an unamused tone. "Nothing!" Rainbow called out defensively, peering over the lip of the kick drum. "Me and Applejack were just making out when out of nowhere she just." The sound of the door frame being loudly crunched under the super strength grip of an orange hand silenced all in the room. An orange face under a cowboy hat came around the corner, yet instead of the scowl of murderous rage they'd expected to see on the face, there was only concern and sadness, and. . . was that regret they saw in the farm girl's big green eyes? "Rainbow!" Applejack shouted in relief and pleading. The athlete attempted to make herself even smaller behind the drum, but the farm girl had already crossed the room to her. "Rainbow Ah'm so sorry!" She pleaded. "After ev'rything that's happened Ah know Ah should've asked first but. . ." Twilight full of newly found wisdom on the subject inhaled to elaborate on the importance of informed consent, but the athlete popped up from behind the drumset with an almost relieved look on her face. "But you just don't think of it when you're in the moment!" Rainbow said, feeling her finish her sentence. She said in a tone like one trying to justify themself. "Yes!" Applejack shouted with equal shame and relief. "Ah was just so hot n bothered. N Ah thought y'all was too. So i just. Oh Thunder Butt Ah'm so sorry!" Twilight balked and looked to Rainbow who proceeded to say exactly what she was going to. "I did want it!" Rainbow shouted exactly on script. "But when you took your shirt off my mind just went blank, and then your hand. . . It just." All seven women in the room spoke as one. "It was too fast." "Yes!" Rainbow said, mortified. She closed the distance and embraced the girl she loved. "Oh A.J. after all those times I wanted to get up your shirt, to chicken out right when I see. . ." She looked down at the perky breasts that the embrace caused to press against her much smaller ones and she momentarily lost her train of thought. "I'm so lame! I'm sorry Apple Bottom!" The two kissed in apology and took hands. Applejack began, leading the athlete towards the door away from the band practice they were interrupting. "Come on. Let's go and." Rainbow flinched and pulled away taking a big step towards the door. She smiled consolingly. "Uhm, yeah, let's just uh. . . Let's just quit while we're ahead. I love you." "Ah love you too Thunder Butt." Applejack said warmly. "See you tomorrow?" Rainbow said, desiring to close the distance and resume being sweet on the beautiful girl, but knowing she needed to keep her distance. "O'course!" Applejack said with her sweetest smile. Rainbow turned to leave but the farm girl called out unexpectedly. "Oh and uh Rainbow?" The athlete turned. Her face went beet red as suddenly the orange girl lifted up her shirt. Rainbow's eyes went wide and her magical wings appeared, sticking straight out. The fascinated girl babbled something unintelligible then turned to escape. She ran smack into the door frame and her wings prevented her escape. She turned awkwardly and retreated from the orange temptress. Applejack grinned as she put down her shirt and readjusted her bra. "Ah think Ah just found mah new fav'rite thang." She said as she strutted out of the room. The rest of the band was standing mouth agape, faces crimson. Sunset and Fluttershy both said simultaneously. "Round four!" As they ran out of the room. Rarity mumbled, "Ummm, excuse me. I think I have a rendezvous with. . . Someone." She scuttled as quickly out of the room as she could. "Wait we have band!" Twilight began to shout as Pinkie did a double back flip out the widow and into Cheese Sandwich's clown car. "Practice." She said to no one. She sighed heavily and let her ears ring for a few seconds. ". . . I wonder what Flash is doing." She said strolling out the door as she turned off the light.
