Chapter 12: A Little Thank You

Chapter 12: A little thank you.

The morning aromas filled the house, freshly brewed coffee, the mixture and medley of fried foods, all mingling together in the air. Sunset sat at the kitchen table, dressed in what seemed to be lounge wear, or very casual sportswear. A black tank top with a light grey hoodie, that was tied around her waist, to cover a pair of black booty-shorts. Adagio was dressed in a similar way, but it was a baggy t-shirt and loose-fitting joggers, with her frizzy hair tied into a bun. Sunset smirked as she watched the two sleepy lovers saunter into the kitchen.

“Adagio, you owe me either fiver bucks, or a free drink when we go to a bar next time.” Sunset smirked as she watched the couple enter the rather large and well-equipped kitchen. Adagio, who manned the stove, groaned at Sunsets comment.

“Fine, I’ll buy you a beer, or something, you win, again, Shimmer.” Adagio spat, playfully, as both women let out a little chuckle. The tantalising smell of fried bacon, grilled sausages, both fried and scrambled egg, freshly toasted bread, with all of the toppings you could ever want or need. A full breakfast. Applejack’s stomach growled in delighted anticipation. Rarity too, had a pang in her stomach as she witnessed Adagio perform wonders in the kitchen. Though, that being said, Rarity’s primary focus was that of the aesthetics of the kitchen. Adagio’s home was lavish, this was already established to Rarity, but even still, it had ways of flooring her.

“Good morning~.” Rarity sang to which Sunset and Adagio eagerly responded in unison.

“Mornin’ you two, what we’re you two on ‘bout? already settllin’ on bets.” Applejack asked, cheerily, as she pulled out a stool for Rarity to sit on, before she sat herself. Sunset and Adagio laughed gently.

“Shimmer and I were betting on whether you two would spend another hour in bed/getting ready, as we both know how long it takes for Rarity to get ready. I bet that you’d miss breakfast, but Sunset said otherwise, and here you are, and here I am, five bucks less, and owing Shimmer a drink.” Adagio snickered, whilst Rarity pulled an amused smile.

“Well, I am pleased to see that my dear friends, still mock and jest about the time it takes for oneself to get ready for the day, a woman, must look her best, even this hour in the morning.” Rarity huffed, but clearly played into the joke as she let out a little laugh, and reached for the French Press, that brimmed with coffee. The girls laughed alongside her, as Adagio finished up plating and distributing everyone’s breakfast.

“This is mighty kind of ya’ Adagio, you didn’t have to do all this.” Applejack said warmly. Rarity too smiled at Adagio, their host.

“Darling, this is all so magnificent, you truly didn’t have to do all this.” Rarity said as she started to layer a coating of jam onto a slice of seeded toast. Adagio waved the compliments off, as she clinked her coffee mug with Sunset’s.

“It’s nothing, besides, Shimmy helped me out here, and you lot are my guests, would be rather rude if I didn’t offer. That and its instinct I guess, Sonata, Aria and myself would always gather round this table in the mornings. We still do, if they decide to visit.” Adagio sighed, full of content as she sat with the other girls.

Comfortable silence washed over the four women as they tucked into their breakfasts. Applejack took full advantage of the amount Adagio had produced, as did Sunset, whilst Rarity and Adagio, knew their limits and only took what they wanted. Rarity was once disgusted by Applejack’s eating habits, but ever since the two found love in one another, it became more of a pet-peeve, but also, oddly amusing to her. She saw every member of the Apple-family within her, especially within the way she ate, sat at the table, comfortably, but also respectful, it was little things, that Rarity found herself loving more and more about her girlfriend. The same was easily said about Applejack’s perspective on Rarity too. The dainty movements, the dapping of a napkin on her lips, instead of wiping her hands over them and so on.

Rarity pushed her stall back a little and let out a heavy sigh, as Applejack wrapped an arm across her back. “Goodness, I might need another lay down after that, I am stuffed.” Rarity groaned a little dramatically.

“Oh no you ain’t missy, I do actually wanna spend a mornin’ with you, besides, I have an idea of what I’d like to do today with you, sugarcube.” Applejack said with a smirk.

Rarity’s face lit up with a sudden excitement. “Oh? Do tell darling~.” Rarity said with a wide-eyed smile.

“Ah~ Ah~ That would be spoilin’ a surprise now wouldn’t it. I’ll give you lil hint though, just prepare to feel unwound and treated missy~. Applejack said with a broad smile as she placed a kiss upon Rarity’s ivory cheek. Rarity flustered and was suddenly filled with ideas of what Applejack potentially had planned. Surely, they’d need to go back home, get changed? They had stayed at Adagio’s apartment all night, hell they were wearing the same underwear as yesterday, to Rarity’s almighty disgust.

“As much as am I excited darling, can we puhleaseee, go back to mine and fetch some clothes?” Rarity asked, well, begged. Applejack chuckled.

“Don’t worry sugarcube, we can go back to yours, what I have planned ain’t till this evenin’ anyways.” Applejack warmly chuckled. “’Sides, I’ve also booked us an uber to take us home in about an hour and halfs time. Just so we don’t get in your hair Adagio.” Applejack chuckled, as she felt Rarity’s shoulders relax underneath her arm.

Adagio chuckled. “Nonsense, Applejack. You’re more than welcome to stay as long as you want, though, I do appreciate the sentiment.” Adagio said just before she finished her breakfast.

Applejack went to tip her hat towards Adagio, but soon, and rather embarrassingly realised, she wasn’t wearing it this morning. A feeling she was most alien to. “Sunset, I made sure there was an extra space too in the uber, if you wanted to come along, yal’ll are more than welcome to.” Applejack offered. Surprisingly, Sunset shook her head, and felt herself grow a faint blush.

“Uh, you’re very kind AJ, but you know what, if you d-don’t mind Adagio, mind if I stay a bit longer?” Sunset asked, almost in a worried, or hushed tone. Applejack and Rarity, both, caught wind of this, and quirked brows at one another.

Adagio grew a smirk across her lips. “Sure, I don’t mind at all Shimmer, stay as long as you want, I know you already have a stay over bag, filled with everything you need. So… why not.” Adagio’s voiced oozed with coyness, and almost full excitement. Applejack’s lips curled into a smirk as she leant into Rarity’s ear and whispered.

“This bet is getting’ all kinds of spicy, I reckon, that one of us, is gonna win this bet realllll soon. And you and I are goin’ be shootin’ togetherrr~” Applejack teased as she reminded Rarity of the bet, they had made together in the Fennec’s Ears the previous night.

Rarity’s lips curled into a smirk as she whispered back: “Darling, Sunset is simply asking to stay round… there is nothing confirming they are in public relationship before Rainbow and Fluttershy. So, hold your horses, and we may still go for a luxury Canterlot trip.” Rarity reaffirmed as she stood her ground.

The two of them, in a moment of slight silence, gently eavesdropped onto Adagio and Sunsets conversation.

“Are you certain? I can go if you want me to Dagi, like I don’t wanna intrude on any thing you had planned.” Sunset said warmly, as Adagio chuckled, and waved her off, whilst she rolled her eyes playfully.

“Silly Shimmer, you need to stop all of this worrying business. We’ve spoken about this before, need I remind you, it was, numerous times in fact, where I’ve had to tell you, that when I say it’s fine, its fine.” Adagio gingerly placed a hand on Sunsets bare shoulder. Sunset blushed as her touch was warming, electrifying even. Luckily, unlike Applejack, she could hold up a façade and hide away her true feelings as she felt a storm brew inside her. A flurry of butterflies for the woman she found, oh so, attractive.

“Y-you’re right… thanks Dagi, I really appreciate it, maybe you could show me how the garden looks, you’ve been mentioning it all morning.” Sunset asked.

Adagio smiled brightly. “Absolutely, it’s lovely this time of year, all of my roses have begun to flower and bud, showing off their petals. I’m sure it doesn’t rival Fluttershy’s garden. But still.” Adagio said warmly, as she watched Sunset finish off her breakfast, as she took occasional glances out of the windows to her garden. “But, not ignoring my two lovely guests here, is there anything else I can get you both? More tea Rarity? Bacon, AJ?” Adagio offered.

Rarity and Applejack both felt themselves being brought back into reality by Adagio’s question. Rarity chuckled and patted her rather tight stomach. “As much as the offer is most welcomed, darling, I don’t think I could eat another bite.” Rarity said, defeatedly.

“Nah, me neither, but thank you Adagio.” Applejack said with a chuckle. “Mind if Rare’s and I retire, we’re gonna make sure we don’t leave anything behind.” Applejack said as she began to stand up, slowly.

“Sure, knock yourselves out, and hey… thanks for the night out, you two, I really needed it. So did Sonata and Aria, I could tell.” Adagio said appreciatively.

“Same here, you guys made the night real special, especially the cover of Paramore and the fact we gossiped and drunkenly ate Chinese, perfect night.” Sunset followed up.

“Darling’s, it was a pleasure, truly. We adore seeing all of you, and we most certainly cannot wait for Fluttershy’s get together soon.” Rarity said warmly as Applejack grew an anticipating smile.

“Now just ya’ll wait till get my paws all on that grill, hoowee, everyone will be crawling’ back for more, not just seconds, but thirds, maybe even fourths if ya’ll have stomachs like Big Mac’s.” Applejack laughed and let out a little snort. Another one of Rarity’s little delights. The other girls joined in with Applejack’s laughter, they all had firsthand experience of seeing Applejack’s elder brother being able to put away food as if it was nothing.

After exchanging a few minimal comments, Adagio and Sunset turned to conversation betwixt themselves, as Rarity and Applejack headed back to their temporary room.

“I know for a fact I ain’t seein’ things, you must’ve seen the way Sunset was going all oogly eyed over Adagio; she was practically begging to be alone with her.” Applejack said in an exclaimed, yet hushed tone. “I ain’t blind to the truth, Sunset and Adagio are most certainly becoming a thing, not that it’s a bad thing mind you, but it’s pretty damn obvious, especially with the conversations between us and the two of them.” She continued as she checked Rarity’s stay-away bag for the second time.

“I must admit, you are certainly correct darling. Adagio too, seemed rather eager and rather willing to spend more time with Sunset, even after we’re gone.” Rarity said rather amused. “It is sweet though, if I could compare it to the many troupes of literature I adore, I’d view it as… enemies, to friends, to lovers. That style of things. Once they hated one another, now look at them, cute as little dotes.” She said as she gently whisked her way over to Applejack, and lovingly placed her arms around her broad waist. Her arms struggled to wrap fully around. Applejack was always broader than Rarity, more muscular yet curvy, but it didn’t stop Rarity from trying.

Applejack hummed approvingly as she felt the tender arms of her girlfriend link themselves around her. She felt the light weight of Rarity snuggled into her back, her head and neck, rested on her shoulder. Applejack, almost instinctively started to sway with Rarity. The two having a gentle moment of affection and silence. Rarity placed small little pecks across the back of Applejack’s neck and exposed shoulder, little anecdotes of love and care, as Applejack span in the embrace and turned to face Rarity. Her arms pooled and looped around Rarity’s dainty and slender neck. She was met by her alluring yet soft subtle gaze. Her bright, diamond blue eyes shone brightly as the two gazed at each other. Rarity moved up and placed a warmed kiss upon Applejack’s lips. It was soft, warming and welcoming.

The two remained, still, with gentle caresses, touches here and there, as they kissed. Once again, the world meant nothing, void of any attention, from the women, save the attention they had for each other. The two pulled away naturally from each other, as they rested their foreheads together for a spell or two. Once again, comfortable silence washed over the two as they held each other, that was until Rarity spoke.

“They might be cute, but we’re certainly cuter.” Rarity giggled, as Applejack let out a soft laugh.

“Damn right sugarcube, now c’mon, let’s get a hustlin’, so we can get ya’ll all prepped for the evening we have ahead of us.” Applejack gently moved her hand down and tapped playfully against Rarity’s rear, to which her partner laughed and released her embrace.

“You’re obsessed darling, even in your sleep I find you clung to my lower half.” Rarity said in between gentle laughs.

“Well, what can I say? I love every bit of you, and of course that means I’m gonna have my favourite aspects ‘bout you, and that sweet ass of yours just so happens to be one of them, sugarcube.” Applejack replied with a smirk across her lips. Rarity blushed and let a loud laugh.

“I love you too darling, and you do speak truthfully as always, the same can be said for you and your… rather tantalising curves and muscles, that I often myself fanning over.” Rarity said with a slight sultry tone as she bumped her hip against Applejack’s.

The two spent the next few moments packing any necessary items in Rarity’s emergency pack, that she always seemingly had on her person. Nonetheless, the two made time and ensured they were ready a few minutes before the Uber arrived. Rarity and Applejack gathered in the large hallway of Adagio’s home with Sunset and Adagio herself, as they waited for their Uber to arrive.

“Thanks again girls, truly, I’ve received a few texts from Sonata and Aria, saying they had a great time, and that they’re both really happy for the two of you. I think you might’ve inspired Sonata to grow some confidence to confess her feelings to Aria y’know.” Adagio said with a sense of pride, her chest felt warm, her heart was full. She had known Aria and Sonata her whole life, and seeing them this happy, brought the largest sense of joy to her whole being.

“Aw, well, I am so glad to hear that we’ve given her a confidence boost, and tell them both, that if they ever want to try something different for their wardrobes, my boutique is always open to my dearest friends and loved ones. That goes for you too Adagio.” Rarity spoke softly. It wasn’t until Adagio pulled Rarity into a tight hug. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Adagio pulled back and softly laughed. “Look what you’ve all done to me, made me all sappy since the… well, you know.” Adagio said gently. “Not that I mind of course, just… life feels good, different, but good.”

Sunset gingerly draped an arm over Adagio’s shoulders. “And we love it this way, seeing your true colours and having a big ol’ cheesy smile on those lips.” Sunset smiled sweetly at Adagio, to which, Adagio, returned.

“See you both soon, if I don’t see you before Flutteshy’s BBQ party, I’ll see you there.” Sunset said softly as she too gave both Rarity and Applejack a gentle hug.

“See ya’ll ‘round, don’t be afraid to stop by Sweet Apple Acres either, we startin’ to test our Autumnal flavours!” Applejack called out.

A beep of a car’s horn echoed through the hallway, signalling it was time for Rarity and Applejack to go. Applejack opened the door, to see a slick, black Mercedes C-Class sat outside, waiting for them. Applejack quirked a brow, then smirked upon seeing the driver. Strutting her way over to the driver side door, she knocked on the glass.

“Well, I’ll be, I’d recognise any of the Wondercolts as soon as I’d seen one. Thunderlane right? Ya’ll part of RD’s division, right?” Applejack asked cheerily.

Thunderlane, sat in the drivers’ seat, rolled down the window with a wide smile and a laugh. A hint of a blush across his dark cheeks as he had been recognised. He decided to be polite, switched off the engine and stood out of the car. “Ayyy, Applejack, good to see you, and yeah Thunderlane, I know we got to college together and everything, but I basically only ever see you when you’re either with RD or saving the world with all that magical stuff you and your friends can do, still trippy as fuck that you can do that… but still rad.” Thunderlane and Applejack laughed. He crossed his arms and leant against his driver side door.

“Yeah… I ain’t got an explanation for it either, just kinda happens, thanks to Twilight n’ Sunset really.” Applejack shrugged. “But what’s a mighty Wondercolt, such yerself drivin’ ‘round as Uber? Thought ya’ll’ be off practicin’ n’ all that kinda thing.” Applejack asked, curious more than anything.

“I am, but just whilst I’m bored, or in between Woldercolt contracts, I drive, it takes my mind of things, and besides, it’s easy to do. In fact, you’re my first ride for the day, so starting the day off strong.” Thunderlane laughed softly, and Applejack snorted.

“Might not be sayin’ that for long, you’ll be takin’ me and my girlfriend over there.” As she gestured to Rarity and her rather expansive stay-away bag, to which, she was somehow struggling with. No doubt it was full of items, that Applejack hadn’t even seen, or all of the varying, vials, and tonics of facial serums and moisturisers. “Scuse me Thunderlane, whilst I go help her out.” Applejack said as she headed her way over to her.

“Yeah, no worries, I’m not going anywhere.” Thunderlane said amused, as he flicked out his phone and immediately started texting.

TL:

Yoooo Soarin, my man guess fucking what

TL:
RD’S fucking insta story was true af, the farmer girl is defo with the posh one

TL:

Well, she defo is, we now owe fucking RD and Fluttershy a drink.

Thunderlane chuckled as he popped open the boot of his car as he watched Applejack, carry Rarity’s bag with ease.

“Thank you ever so much my love and thank you darling for giving us a lift I am so desperate to put on some other clothes I-.” Rarity paused herself, once she took a full cursory glance at Thunderlane before she smirked. “My goodness, second in command of the Wondercolts, Thunderlane himself is our chauffer. I remember the one time you came into my boutique for a tailored suit, you did look rather dashing I must admit. How did the date go with… oh blast what was her name, Cloud Chaser? Yes! Cloud Chaser, how did that go?” Rarity asked curiously.

Thunderlane’s eyes widened in surprise, as he gave a wide smile. “How the hell do you even remember that? That was nearly 8 months ago!” Thunderlane chuckled. “But your tailoring skills did wonders, she and I have officially been together for seven months, after a month of dating, I officially asked.” Thunderlane said as he opened his phone, to reveal his home screen wallpaper, was a picture of Cloud Chaser, a rather flatting photo of her, sat in a well-established restaurant.

“I remember all of my clients darling, and I am delighted to hear that for the two of you.” Rarity said gently. Applejack smiled approvingly at him before patting his shoulder.

“Good on you, partner, RD always mentioned how you two spent time together before ya’ll were datin’, seems like it was meant to be, and I know how that feels.” Applejack smirked at Rarity, to which she smiled sweetly back at Applejack. “Any who, congratulations!”

“Thanks, guys, means a lot… but not to delay you any further. Mind if we get a move on?” Thunderlane asked with a smile.

With affirmations shared, the girls clambered on into Thunderlane’s car and headed off to Rarity’s home.

“Ahhh~ Home sweet home, nothing like returning to one’s comforts and luxuries.” Rarity said as she slumped down onto her plush sofa. Applejack loudly laughed as she dropped Rarity’s bag gently, but the foot of the grand staircase.

“Still feelin’ full after Adagio’s breakfast, sugarcube?” Applejack asked as she unceremoniously sat on the couch beside Rarity and pulled her into a cuddle. Rarity, who adored her lovers touch, instantly clung to her and rested her head against Applejack’s broad chest. There was no denying that Rarity was definitely the one who preferred being the little spoon. She shook her head at Applejack’s question.

“No, I think I am aching, in all honesty, as much as that… shower we had in the morning, the best shower I’ve had actually.” She said with a heavy blush, that filled out her ivory cheeks. “Was lovely, it didn’t soothe me, I think Aria’s old bed was as hard as stone, and I think I still have a sore back from the bed.” Rarity said as she tried to make herself comfortable by stretching, but alas, nothing worked.

Applejack smiled at the shower comment. It was the most intimate they had been… and in truth, she anticipated the next time she would be blessed to see lovers’ beautiful body once more. She ran an arm down Rarity’s spine and gently soothed her aching back and pressed a kiss into her mane of deep purple hair. “Well, luckily sugarcube, the thing I have booked for us tonight, should soothe all that and more, I’m mighty sure of it.” Applejack said rather confidently.

Rarity quirked a brow. “I am still intrigued, even more so now, I have a suspicion… but my main curiosity is how and when you booked this… surprise?” Rarity asked as she sat up a little, to gaze into Applejack’s emerald eyes.

“Whilst you and I were getting ready for breakfast. Whilst you sat down and took half an hour to blow dry your hair, I sneakily got onto my phone and booked it! I was quicker than a cheetah chasin’ its prey.” Applejack, said, once again with her rather confident tone. Rarity smiled and pressed a gentle kiss on Applejacks lips, to which she responded. A small little peck.

“Whatever it is, I am very much looking forward to it my love. As much as I adore seeing our friends, I do utterly love it so, when I have you all to myself~.” Rarity whispered, teasingly, as she leant up to straddle into her lover’s lap. She didn’t stay straddled for long, another tease, as she rose up to head to her bedroom. “I’ll be picking out an outfit for this evening my love, whats the theme for tonight darling? Is it wine and dine? Movie trip? Oooh or is it that dreamy vineyard I so desperately want to go to, which will be going to if I win the bet anyways.” Rarity mused as she clung to the banister of her grand staircase.

“Uhhh… no, nope and nopppee.” Applejack said plainly, her voice had an air of teasing to it. “But I will tell you the aim is relaxation, so why don’t I dunno, put on some of them joggers on.” Applejack suggested. To which Rarity was appalled by.

“Applejack, darling, do you forget who I am? I am a fashionista! I cannot be seen in the streets of Canterlot with… ahem, joggers, on. If I am going to wear lounge wear it, must, be, FASHIONABLE.” Rarity said, again, rather dramatically. But she did this to mainly gain the attention of her lover, that… and she simply enjoyed being a bit too dramatic at times. Applejack simply groaned and stood up. Rarity nearly dashed up the stairs with a hearty laugh.

“Alrighty missy, you gon’ n’ put on your I dunno Loo EEE – Vitron, or whatever’s on, Imma put on something casual, ‘know denim shorts, trainers, tied up flannel, y’know normal people clothes.” Applejack chuckled as she followed Rarity upstairs with a smile on her lips. Once inside her lavish room, there Rarity stood, half naked already. Her entire torso and chest open, with a pair of lacy knickers on. She stood, hand on chin, with at least five outfits on the bed. She was ‘umming and ahing’ over which outfit to wear. Applejack shut the door behind the pair and took in the lovely view for a few moments. One thing that did surprise her, however, was Rarity’s speed. One moment she was clung to the banister, the next, naked and choosing outfits.

Applejack strode past her and ripped off her clothes from the night prior and stood, fully nude beside her lover. They were past that point of shying away from such intimacy now. Rarity was too fixated on the clothes to even notice for a few moments, until she felt Applejack’s warmed hand press against her hip.

“Oh!” Rarity exclaimed, as she was lost in thought, and brought back to reality. Her blush was immediately present as she witnessed her naked other half stood beside her. “D-Darling! Y-you… wow, you look so gorgeous.” Rarity, for once, was at loss for words as she stammered her way into scanning her lovers, admirable and desirable body beside her. “I… heh, you’re… all open… I mean, so am I, I just wanted to look presentable, that’s all.” Rarity said as she let out a heavy breath as she gazed down at the outfits on the bed before her.

Applejack laughed as she grabbed an outfit off the bed for Rarity. One of her most iconic outfits, an outfit that wouldn’t stand out on anyone else, but on Rarity, it was indeed… a rare sight. It was casual pair of light blue denim jeans, a pink jumper, with a yellow shirt and a blue baseball cap. Her underwear, plain-ish, still lacey, but just a simple bra and panties. Rarity quirked a brow and gazed at Applejack. At first Applejack thought she had just offended Rarity, but instead a smile grew over her ivory lips.

“Applejack my love, are you sure you’re not secretly into fashion?” Rarity asked as she gently took the outfit from Applejack’s hands.

“I’m sure… but I do have the best fashion designer in the whole of Canterlot as my girlfriend.” Applejack said pridefully as she placed a kiss on Rarity’s forehead. Rarity blushed and felt a fuzzy fluttering within her stomach, and her smile widened as she started to dress into the outfit.

“You’re too sweet darling, thank you.” Rarity said, bashfully as she clipped her bra on.

“I’m just tellin’ the truth sugarcube. I see it, how it is.” Applejack said as she went over to her own, now, personal drawer in Rarity’s chest of drawers. Applejack grabbed exactly what she described earlier, an outfit she knew was safe and easy, casual even. Rarity had finalised her outfit and stood, admiring herself in the mirror. She was smiling, brighter than usual as she gazed at herself. Applejack, after finishing getting ready herself, with her spray of deodorant noticed this.

“Beautiful, sugarcube.” Applejack complimented.

“Thank you darling… I feel it.” Rarity said as she span on her heel and examined her outfit from every angle. Noticing her curves, the way it sat on her. At times she was overtly critical, but this time… everything sat right. Perfect even. “My hair!” Rarity exclaimed suddenly as began to style her hair in a way that fitted the baseball cap in a complimentary way. She smiled at herself as Applejack stood next to her and placed a hand on her hip.

“Darling, this calls for photos, we look absolutely divine!” Rarity said as she whipped out her phone in a flash, held it up high, and gave Applejack no warning, as she spammed her camera, with pictures of the two of them, in moments. Applejack was a fast learner and posed with her girlfriend in multiple ways. “Ahh! We look so cute! I am so excited for whatever this is darling, you’ve got great taste!” Rarity said as she once again, admired herself, pulled different poses and expressions. Applejack couldn’t help but laugh.

“Oh, I know I got great taste, I pulled myself a real stunner, now didn’t I.” Applejack said as she dominantly pulled Rarity closer and pressed her lips tightly to hers. Rarity was surprised by the forcefulness, but welcomed it, nonetheless. She did always enjoy it when she got possessive of her, in the romantic sense. The two shared an intimate kiss, deep and passionate, with soft subtle moans from both women as they felt themselves fall deeper and deeper into the kiss. Rarity pulled away to catch her breath and smiled, lovingly at her partner.

“Applejack… Darling~ That was, well… any more of that, I would’ve been out of this outfit again, I’m sure.” Rarity said bashfully as she fanned herself, to cool herself down.

Applejack laughed and held onto Rarity’s hips and grinned at her. “Consider this, part one of my… little thank you to you. For soothin’ me the other night, I thought I’d treat you, to a night of bein’ soothed yourself.” Applejack said as she cupped Rarity’s hand in her own. “I’ll drive, you just sit there and be beautiful as ever. As much as I wanna keep kissin’ you and makin’ you all hot n’ bothered, we better get a move on, we don’t wanna miss this, trust me baby.” Applejack said with an eager smile. A smile that made Rarity nearly start jumping up and down in excitement as she gripped onto Applejack’s hand and raced down the stairs with her to Applejack’s family pickup truck. Rarity ensured she locked the front door, slammed all the windows shut, and hopped into the passenger seat, she was practically brimming with energy. Despite the sudden excitement, her spine and entire back and upper hips sill ached.

“Now, Rare’s, when we get close, I want you to shut your eyes, ‘kay?” Applejack asked.

“Yes darling, I will, but I’ll try my hardest to not sneak a little peak, you know much I hate anticipation, especially when it’s this, exciting.” Rarity said as she strapped herself in. Applejack chuckled, switched the ignition, and off they went. The drive in itself wasn’t going to be too long. But Rarity’s pure excitement radiated fully and caused time to go slower than she would’ve liked. But she was excited either way and awaited with bated breath what Applejack had planned.

“Aight, sugarcube, best now cover them purty eyes of yours, we’re nearly there.” Applejack said with a smile on her lips. Rarity giggled in anticipation as she shut her eyes tightly, she was incredibly tempted to spring them open, but she decided to hold her oath, and try as hard as she could to keep them shut. She felt Applejack turn the pickup, it what seemed, or least felt like a narrow road, or busy street. Ether way, it was most definitely Canterlot, the architecture and designs, that Rarity got a glance of, confirmed it as such. Though she was sure she recognised the exact area before she glued her eyelids shut. Rarity began to springboard ideas of what awaited her. Crossing some out and highlighting others. She smiled with glee, to know that her girlfriend was spoiling her, the fact it was a quick and sudden surprise was another. However, the sudden sensation of reversing slowly, with her eyes shut did feel a little strange. She suddenly heard Applejack crank up the hand break and tap her on shoulder.

“Okay, sugarcube, open your eyes.” Applejack said with a soft tone. Rarity’s eyes fluttered open as she adjusted to the streetlights and setting sun. She then let out an audible gasp as she saw what loomed over before them. Canterlot City – Day and Night Spa. One of Canterlots most luxurious and most esteemed spa’s that offered a multitude of services, that one could desire. From massages, swimming pools, Jacuzzi’s, Roman baths, sauna rooms, couples retreats and all-round privacy. Rarity was stunned, she had frequented with Fluttershy and the other girls before, as friends, to the smaller spa in the town, but not to the original luxurious one that was owned by the twins Aloe and Lotus. Rarity’s eyes threatened to water, and her lips began to quiver.

Applejack, her love, would treat her to such an experience? But the price! Surely, she’d like some money towards it!? Right!? Rarity’s mind raced as she leant over to Applejack’s side and kissed her freckled cheek heartily. She screamed in excitement as she practically and nearly pounced on her girlfriend.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you so much darling. Oh, I just don’t know what to say… I suddenly feel a little faint… oooh~.” Rarity cooed as she did her ritual with Applejack and flopped onto her arms, admittedly a little different than usual, as they were sat in her pickup. Rarity, like, usual quickly recovered from the sudden outburst of emotions and pure intoxicating excitement as she sat up again.

“Sugarcube, you deserve this, you’ve been nothin’ but gold and sweet as apple-pie to me. You’ve comforted me, treated me, like no other has. You’ve made me feel special, beautiful, sexy, hell every kinda positive you can think of, you’ve made me feel. So, fuck yeah, you deserve this, and no, I don’t want anything back, before you even ask. This is my treat, to you, and a thank you, for lovin’ me.” Applejack said, poetically, filled with true and raw emotions as she exited her pickup, strode round to the passenger door, and opened and extended a hand up to Rarity. “C’mon princess, time to get pampered like one.”

Rarity’s eyes brimmed with loved filled tears as she gleefully accepted Applejack’s hand. “In all of my life, not one, not a single soul has treated me as well as you do, darling, my love… my other half. I love you.” Rarity said as she clung onto Applejack’s hand an arm, tightly, affectionately.

“I love ya too, sugarcube. You deserve everything, and anything. Always… now c’mon, Aloe and Lotus are expectin’ us.”

“Miss Rarity, Miss Applejack, it is so wonderful to see you both.” Aloe said with a serene, welcoming voice. Her accent oozed with an Eastern European accent. Her twin sister, Lotus stepped forth and gestured for the two of them to follow.

“Per your request, the entire spa is rented out to the both of you this evening, and you shall, my sisters and I’s full attention.” Lotus said with a warmed smile.

“Say wha-.” Rarity mumbled as she heard the words “entire spa” come out of Lotus’ mouth. She was astonished that Applejack managed to get a booking this late, not to mention, to book out the entire Spa for the two of them. It was making her heart pound with love. She was aware that Applejack wasn’t too fond of the finer things in life, so to see her do this for her, was even more heartwarming. They were bound to have differences, it’s natural in a relationship, but this… this was something else and incredibly romantic.

Lotus gestured towards the changing rooms. “If you’d both like to disrobe and join us in either your undergarments, and, or, your swimming attire, we shall see to a massage first, where we shall attend to any built stress, knots or any aches.” Lotus bowed her head and signalled for her twin sister to follow. Leaving the two to change in peace.

Applejack raised a brow and smile at Rarity. “See, told ya, I’d treat ya,” Applejack said as she began to rummage through her rucksack and retrieved a bikini for Rarity, and chucked it towards her. Rarity caught it but was still astonished by her lovers’ pure romantic actions.

“Jaqueline.” Rarity said softly. “You… didn’t have to do this, this is by far, the loveliest, the most beautiful gift I have ever received. Other than, the best gift being yourself… this, I don’t even know what to say darling.” Rarity’s face was warm, flustered and her smile was painted across her lips, never fading once. Her eyes lit up like a bonfire, truly blown away by the generosity of her partner.

Applejack chuckled. “Then don’t say nothin’ at all, just enjoy it sugarcube, you deserve this, after everything you’ve done for me. Trust me when I say this, this is all for you.” Applejack smiled warmly. Her mind was filled with love as she watched her girlfriends face light up with pure joy. Her heart fluttered numerous times as she heard the love and radiance that oozed on Rarity’s words.

“Now get yourself changed, into that bikini that hugs them hips so well, and let’s get pampered.” Applejack instructed as she stood there, also in a well fitted bikini. Rarity bit her lips as she gazed upon Applejack’s beautiful body and began to get herself changed.

“I’m ready. I am so looking forward to this~.”
