Rainbow Dash put the last of her things in a cardboard box and closed it. "Thanks again FlutterShy."
"Oh you're very welcome Rainbow Dash it was no trouble at all." FlutterShy muttered picking up one of the few boxes that was left. She then flew outside the open door and started heading towards Sweet Apple Acres.
Looking around the now empty house she felt a pang of sadness. Well it always was a little lonely...it still is. This was true when she bought the house she couldn't sleep for a couple of nights, the quietness was unnerving. Walking through all the rooms she felt even with the meager amount of things she owned the house was empty. Snapping out of her memories she noticed that FlutterShy was calling her name in a whisper that Rainbow had to strain to hear, even in the silent cloud house.
"Rainbow?...Are you still here?..."
Mischievously grinning Rainbow sucked in a deep breath and shouted as loud as she could "I"M IN HERE!!" The resounding yelp from the other room made her laugh...and the sound of things breaking instantly silenced her. Leaping into the air she rushed down the hallway and into the kitchen (if you could call a room with a table,cabinets and a refrigerator a "kitchen") to find an open box on the ground its contents spilling everywhere. And a certain yellow Pegasus cowering on the floor. Good going Rainbow, she thought rolling her eyes. "FlutterShy...you can get up now."
Peeking out from behind a layer of her pink mane she stuttered "I'm s-sorry Rainbow...please don't be angry."
Giving her a reassuring smile "I'm not angry that was pretty much my fault." Picking up her things and a throwing away a broken picture frame she said "OK then lets get the last of it down."

Rainbow surveyed her new room and was pleased with the outcome. A dresser had Tanks tank on top of it and the closet had all of her extra items. There were posters of various Wonderbolts adorning the walls and she even had a rainbow comforter. On her bedside table were three picture frames these were her prized possessions. The first one was of her parents and herself when she was a filly. Seeing herself with them brought back fond memories. The middle frame had a picture of herself and the Wonderbolts on the day she saved their lives (and Rarity's.) And last but certainly not least was the picture of herself and her friends. "Yep" she said aloud reaching a decision "this room is officially awesome enough for me."
"It does look pretty good." Applejack noted from the doorway startling Rainbow.
Rainbow Dash coughed "Ummm...was I talking out loud."
"Y'all sure were. Anyways Ah came up ta tell ya dinners ready." Applejack gave a small chuckle
"Sweet. I'm starving." Dashes stomach growled as if on que. Then looking at Applejack she said "How about a race to the table."
"Yer on Rainbow. But-" she stated "yer going down."
Unfurling her wings Rainbow cut her eyes at her opponent. "Oh it is on now! "
Applejack turned and swiftly raced towards the stairway whereas Rainbow Dash flew into the air and darted straightaway for the kitchen. Rainbow Dash sat on a chair and yelled "I win!" Shortly before Applejack jumped into the room landing in front of her friend.
"No ya didn't. Using yer wings are cheating." She told Rainbow for about the millionth time. Her face was right in front of Rainbows and she could feel the breath of the pegasus.
Rainbow stuck her tongue out "Your just jealous of these babies." then she flexed her wings at Applejack an annoying grin plastered on her face.
Applejack's left eye twitched a couple of times. "Ya know Rainbow Ah can buck things other than tress." She growled.
Rainbow Dash with a cocky smirk said "Oh yeah? " getting out of the chair and right in front of Applejack's face "You don't have the guts." She teased. Rainbow Dash suddenly felt hooves kick her with tremendous strength and sailed through the open door by a very surprised Big Macintosh. Soaring through the air until hitting an apple tree head first. "Owww..." slowly getting up she turned around hearing the galloping of hooves.
Applejack felt concern for Dash, but she did deserve it. Well maybe not that hard she thought upon seeing Rainbow Dash fall back down. "Are ya alright RD? Ah'm sorry you just really made me mad." I hope she ain't hurt.
Rainbow Dash started to get up again "Yeah I'm fine it takes more than that to keep me down." Addressing Applejack. Trying to walk she found her legs wobbling, not to mention there were three Applejack's. "Uh, on second thought can you help me?" Applejack trotted over to Rainbow Dash saying "Sure."
Leaning against Applejack with her left wing draped over her back she could walk. I hope I don't have a concussion she wondered as the world swirled around her. When they reached the door Applejack helped lead Rainbow Dash to her seat. Big Macintosh, Applebloom, and Granny Smith were already waiting. Applebloom sighed impatiently "Finally we get ta eat" With out another word they all began to devour the delicious smelling food

Well ,Rainbow Dash thought while tossing and turning on her bed, this is really uncomfortable. When you get used to seeping on the softest clouds a spring mattress seems like a rock. Finally giving up on sleep (that's a first) her mind drifted to Applejack. Hmm...how can I get back at her. A prank would be good, but what would do? With an evil grin she knew just what to do. floating as quietly as she could over the floorboards as to not make anyone of them creak, she opened the closet and grabbed her prank kit that she and Pinkie always use. Picking out a can labeled Pinkie Pies Super Duper Itchy Powder, Rainbow opened her door and listened for noise. Crossing the hallway over to Applejack's door she pressed her ear against it. Hearing snoring she opened the door and as quickly as she could while staying silent shook the entire contents of the bottle in Applejack's trademark Stetson. Turning to look at the orange mare to see if she was still asleep Rainbows tail accidentally knocked over a picture. With lightning reflexes she caught it just in time. Getting a better look she noticed it was of Applejack as a filly and two other ponies she had never seen before. They were obviously Apples because of their cutie marks, but couldn't remember ever having seen them. Giving a small shrug she went back to her new room and lay on her bed now suddenly tired. I cant wait for tomorrow she thought, falling to sleep with a smile on her face.
