Another buck of powerful orange legs, another rain of colorful red apples.
~wham~
Dash yawned as Applejack continued to beat the tar out of her trees. She hadn’t had any plans for the day, so she’d opted to go see her best friend. Naturally, AJ was busy with chores, but that didn’t mean they still couldn’t hang out. It was just turning out to be kinda boring today.
As Applejack continued to kick the apple trees, too focused her work to chat, Dash found herself feeling somewhat restless. She didn’t want to just go flying off – that would be rude. But she still felt that need to stretch her wings.
She cast a quick glance back over her shoulder. AJ was lining up with another tree, paying no attention to her. Dash frowned a bit, before shrugging. Some ponies might feel a little odd about a pegasus stretching their wings in front of them, but even if AJ did notice, it was highly unlikely she’d be weirded out or something. She was cool like that. So what was the harm?
Applejack lined herself up with the next tree, she cast an idle glance over at Dash to see what she was up to – and found herself instantly freezing mid-buck.
Dash was sitting with her wings fully extended to her sides, her eyes closed in relaxation. Every inch of feather was exposed, showing off the avian limbs in all their glory. For a lot of ponies, there was something undeniably exotic about pegasi wings, and Applejack was no exception. It didn’t help that Dash happened to have a very nice set of wings, with strong musculature, sturdy bone structure, and elegant plumage.
And they were pretty, too.
Applejack immediately found herself blushing at the thought of finding her friend’s wings attractive. In a panicked attempt to divert her attention someplace else, she resumed her bucking, and violently kicked out with her legs.
Unfortunately, that brief moment of wing-gazing had caused her posture to relax, leaving the angle of her kick slightly off target. Rather than hitting that sweet spot and knocking apples loose… she instead spring-boarded off the tree, going airborne in a rather comedic fashion.
With a yelp, the earth mare landed in the grass and slid forward several yards, before coming to rest right next to Rainbow Dash. The blue pegasus looked down at her friend in confusion, and Applejack could only smile back sheepishly.
Dash, her wings still widely extended, noticed Applejack’s blush immediately. While not the academic type, Rainbow Dash was still smart enough to put two and two together and realize what had happened – and what the implications were.
Applejack soon wasn’t the only one blushing.
For a moment, the two friends stared at each other in silence. Finally, Dash broke the silence. “So…”
“Dash, I-“ Applejack tried to speak up, hoping to explain herself. However, she was silenced by a wingtip playfully poking her nose.
Dash smirked. “You like wings, huh?”
