Applejack slowly blinked her eyes open, as the sunlight streamed through her window right into her face. Giving a big yawn Applejack groggily walked into the bathroom. Soon Applejacks mind began to wonder. This is exciting, Applejack thought, my best friend is living with me! Sometimes the daily jobs around the farm got a little dull, but with my friend working with me it should be a lot more fun. Applejack pushed her thoughts to the side as she hopped into the shower, but she couldn't surpress a smile. After washing her mane thoroughly Applejack went to go wake up Rainbow Dash, but not before putting on her trusty Stetson.
Applejack pushed open Rainbows door, absentmindly scratching her head. Rainbow Dash was curled up into a ball on the bed, with a small smile on her face. She looks kind of cute like this, almost like shes a little filly. Chuckling a little Applejack prodded the sleeping pegasus until she finally blinked her eyes open. "Glad ta see your finally awake." Applejack started to leave as Rainbow Dash stretched and yawned. "When ya get downstairs Ah'll show ya what Ah need ya to help me with."
With the speed of a paralyzed snail Rainbow Dash proceded to try and untangle herself from the covers. Finally freeing herself Rainbow Dash trotted downstairs, but when she smelled pancakes she instantly jumped into the air and flew to the kitchen as fast as she could. Applejack was putting pancakes onto plates when she heard Rainbow Dash walk in. Turning around Applejack asked her "So how was your first night?"
Rainbow Dash rubbed her right wing "It'll take some time to get used too. But thats okay." Rainbow Dash walked over to the table and sat down as Applejack brought two plates of pancakes to the table. They sat eating in silence for a while before Rainbow Dash looked at Applejack with a serious expression. "AJ it really means a lot that you'd help me. Thanks again, you really are my best friend."
Applejack felt a warmth inside her. It was unusual for to say things like that to...well...anyone. beaming Applejack smirked "Well don't let me regret mah decision." Finishing the pankcakes Applejack kept feeling an itching sensation on her scalp. Although mild it was quite annoying. Rainbow Dash tryed to hide a giggle when she saw Applejack start to scratch her head furiously.
"Everything alright?" Rainbow asked trying to keep a straight face. She had a terrible poker face. And Applejack saw right through it. By now the sensation was worse. It felt as if ants were crawling on, and biting, her head. "WHAT DID YA DO TA ME!" Applejack shouted finally losing control, and trying to use a spoon to scratch the infuriating itch. Rainbow Dash just laughed and laughed, tearing up a little.
Wiping her eyes Rainbow Dash grabbed a bucket used for apples and filled it with water while saying "This is revenge for when you kicked me!" Glancing downwards at Applejack rolling around on the floor "...I think you've had enough." Turning of the faucet she picked up the bucket and poured it directly on top of Applejacks head. Applejack immediately stopped squirming and looked up directly into Rainbows eyes with rage building inside her.
Rainbow Dash noticed the look and squeaked out "Um..don't you have to show me how to Applebuck?"
Applejack closed her eyes and git up sighing. "Yeah Ah suppose Ah deserved that. Now lets just put this behind us and get ta work."
The two ponies walked outside into the warm sunlight. Heading towards the first apple tree Applejack told her pegasus friend "Ah need ya ta buck a tree so Ah can see how good ya are at it."
Rainbow smirked "Kicking trees? How hard can it be?" Positioning herself in front of the tree Rainbow Dash pulled her lets back and struck the tree with all the strength she could muster. The branches shook but only about half of the apples fell.
Applejack shook her head "Now sugarcube, ya need ta put your whole body into it or ya wont get the apples." Spinning herself around age put her whole body into the kick. The branches shook violently and all the apples fell down. Looking at Rainbow Dash she added " Now that's how ya buck a tree."
Rainbow narrowed her eyes and pratictly growled "Okay if your so confident how about a race then?"
Applejack smirked "Fine then first ta buck 50 trees wins."
Both ponies scattered, trying to buck as many trees as possible. While Rainbow Dash was faster than Applejack, she wasn't as strong as she was. When it only took one buck to get all of the apples out of the tree for Applejack. It took several kicks from Rainbow Dash. Having to exert herself more was tiring for Rainbow Dash, but Applejack never slowed her pace (which really showed how much stamina she had.) Rainbow Dash was panting as she kicked her 46th tree when Applejack exclaimed "Ah win!"
Rainbow Dash looked in shock as Applejack cantered over to her with a big smile on her face. Rainbows ears drooped as she sat on the ground an angry look clearly being shown on her face. Applejack sat next to her pegasus friend and gave her a big hug while saying "Don't be mad RD, it was only a silly race." About to say that she wasn't angry Rainbow Dash stopped and instead gave a big yawn. The restless night before and the exhausting competition had worn her out. Looking up at Applejacks beautiful emerald eyes she said "I cant stay angry..." she trailed off. Leaning her head on Applejacks shoulder Rainbow Dash fell alseep in Applejacks hooves.
