//------------------------------// // Applejack X Applejack // Story: Wheel Of Femships // by Crimson Enjoyer //------------------------------// Stirring awake, Applejack found herself in what was decidedly not her bedroom at her family’s house in Sweet Apple Acres. Thankfully, it did seem to be a bedroom of some kind, as she was currently lying on a bed. After a few moments of groggy scanning, she deduced that her current location was one of the many, many spare bedrooms in Twilight’s castle. Honestly, Twilight could probably run a hotel business out of the castle with how many rooms it had. “What happened last night,” Applejack wondered out loud as she rubbed her eyes. It was when she opened them again that she came to the realization she was not the only one in bed. Only a few inches away, another pony was fast asleep with their back turned to Applejack. They had an orange coat, a long blond mane, and seemed to be a mare. Applejack stared dumbly for several seconds, but once her mind finished processing all the available information, her eyes widened in horror. “There’s no way…” The mare began to stir, and finally she awoke in much the same fashion Applejack did. She looked around the room for a bit until her eyes landed on… herself. The two Applejacks gazed at each other in silence with wide eyes and blank expressions for what seemed like an infinity. Finally, one of them spoke. “Oh my god.” 2 weeks earlier, in another dimension… “So, let me get this straight,” said Rainbow Dash. “You want to go to Equestria to have your 20th birthday party there?” “Yes,” Sunset nodded. “And you want all of us to come to Equestria with you,” Rarity continued, gesturing to the five other girls at the table. “That’s right,” Sunset nodded again. There were a few seconds of silence. “So just to be clear, you want us all to celebrate your birthday as horses?” Sunset frowned. “Ponies, and yes, I would like that very much.” “Ponies, horses,” Rainbow did an up and down gesture with her hands. “What’s the difference?” “Well, actually, I’ve done a bit of research on Equestrian life forms before, and there is quite a distinction between the Pony creatures of that universe and the horses of this one,” Twilight said, straightening her glasses. “For instance, the-“ She stopped mid-sentence when she noticed the unamused look on Rainbow’s face, and blushed. “Sorry. Not the point, I know.” Sunset put her hand on Twilight’s shoulder and smiled warmly. “It’s fine, babe. Now,” she turn her attention back to the group, “Party in Equestria, what do you all think?” The girls exchanged looks and quietly contemplated, until Applejack broke the silence. “Well shoot, I don’t got a problem with it.” “Yeah!” Pinkie agreed loudly. “Parties are fun, turning into a magical horse is fun, so a party where we all turn into magical horses will be like, quadruple fun!!” “I suppose it would be a…unique experience,” said Rarity, rubbing her chin. “And if memory serves, that castle that Princess Twilight lives in is simply divine!” “Yeah, if you’re looking at it from the inside,” Sunset muttered. “Oh I would absolutely love to go back to Equestria,” Fluttershy practically squealed. “It was so pretty, and we all looked so cute as ponies, with our big eyes and little hooves and colorful manes and coats, I think having your birthday there would be wonderful, Sunset!” “Eh, sounds like fun,” Rainbow said with a shrug. Sunset smiled brightly. “So, we’re all in agreement then?” “Totally.” “Certainly.” “Absolutely!” “Heck yeah!” “You betcha.” And back to right now… “Alright, so,” Applejack began, rubbing her forehead. “Y’all came here to have Sunset Shimmer’s birthday party in Twi’s castle-“ “That’s right,” Applejack confirmed. “And we, as in, the other versions of y’all, came to the party too…” “Eeyup.” Everything was coming back to her. The party went on well into the night, and there was quite a lot of cider present. Hard cider. “So, you and me got drunk, found this room, and did…this,” said Applejack. “That sounds about right,” Applejack agreed. “Just, uh… one issue with that. I didn’t drink any alcohol last night.” Applejack looked confused, before another realization struck her. “Neither did I.” Applejack A and Applejack 1 simply sat there, disturbed looks plastered on both their faces, their heads turned away from each other. “So… we did this…voluntarily.” “Eeyup.” “….” “….” “We can never speak of this to anyone.” “Agreed.” Minutes passed as they continued sitting there in the mother of all awkward silences, until a thought broke its way into Applejack’s head. It was a thought she tried to kick away, but eventually she decided, f@#! It. “Wanna do it again?”
