Stranded

Chapter 1

“Come on Applejack! Everybody is way ahead of us already!” Rainbow Dash called from the ground floor. She was currently in Applejack's home waiting on her to finish packing for the trip that they are taking. This trip consisted of going to a ski resort a few hours away for the weekend, the others have already gone ahead, and if Applejack wasn't Rainbow Dash's ride, she would have been the first to leave. She heard a banging come down the stairs.
“Hold yer horses,” Applejack said as she dragged her suitcase down the stairs after her, Winona close on her heels.
Applejack was currently wearing a checkered red and white shirt, worn blue jeans, boots, and her ever present worn-out stetson. She took off her stetson and slipped a sweater over her head before returning it to it's rightful place. She picked up her bag and walked out the door followed by Rainbow Dash and Winona. They headed for the barn and the cold winter wind hit them and went straight through Applejack's sweater and Rainbow Dash's sweatshirt. At least the barn was warmer. Applejack opened the driver side door of the old truck and climbed in, tossing her suitcase in the back seat next to Dash's bags, two snowboards, and Tank, Dash's pet turtle. Dash opened her door and Winona jumped in and sat in between them on the bench seat. Once Dash clicked her seat belt closed, Applejack started the old truck, having to try twice to get it going. Once they were on the road Dash turned on the radio, turning it to her favorite rock station.
“Nope,” Applejack said as she quickly changed it to her favorite country station.
“But I don't want to listen to country,” Dash said as she turned it back to rock.
“Rules of the road, Dash,” Applejack said as she turned it back to country.
“Screw the rules,” Dash said as she turned it to rock.
“Then you can walk,” Applejack said as she turned it to country. Dash just grumbled, because she knew Applejack would make her walk, she has done it in the past. Dash just went to staring out the window, she felt a light pressure in her lap and saw that Winona had put her head in her lap, so Dash started to scratch her behind her ears.
“Ya know, yer real boring company,” Applejack said out of the blue.
“Oh really? Well I don't hear you trying to start a conversation.”
“Oh so Ah'm the one who has to start the conversation, huh? Well alright, um, hows, whats-her-face, Cherry something?”
“Cherry Pie, and we broke up last week. She was way to clingy. What about you, don't you have a boyfriend or something?”
“The last boyfriend Ah had broke up with me a month ago, y'all don't pay much attention do you?”
“I do, I just forgot.”
“Pfft, yeah. Forgot.”
“What's that suppose to mean?”
“Nothing Dash,” Applejack said, turning up the radio. Dash turned it down a few minutes later.
“What's eating you?”
“Excuse me?”
“What's bothering you?”
“Nothing.”
“It's not nothing.”
“Why are you concerned?”
“Because your my best friend AJ, why wouldn't I be?” Applejack looked over at Dash.
“It's nothing, just some trouble with the new hand we hired on the farm.”
“What kind of trouble? He trying to force himself on you?”
“What?! No! Are you ever not thinking about sex?” Dash thought about this for a second. “Never mind.”
“Oh come on, I was just joking, I sometimes have foreplay on my mind.” This earned Dash a playful, yet strong, punch on the arm. Silence resumed and Dash went back to scratching Winona behind her ears. After a while she felt her eyes grow heavier and heavier and before long she was sleeping, letting her snores fill the truck.


“Get up RD!” Applejack yelled in Dash's ear, causing her to jerk awake.
“What the hell AJ?”
“We're at the resort.” Dash looked around and sure enough the ski resort was right in front of them. Dash stepped out and both Applejack and her pulled the seat down, Dash swung her duffel bag on her shoulder, grabbed her snowboard and tank and with Applejack next to her they both walked in the resort. They quickly found the room that they were to share and after dropping everything off they headed back down stairs in the restaurant area and quickly found the others.
“About time you got here you guys!” Pinkie pie exclaimed from the long table that they all were sitting at. Dash did a quick head count. There was Twilight sitting next to Spike, Rarity next to Fluttershy with Big Mac to her left and Applebloom to his left. Applejack sat down in between Big Mac and Applebloom. Sweetie Belle sat next to Applebloom and Scootaloo, who squealed in delight as Dash sat next to her. Pinkie Pie sat next to Dash and that concluded everybody.
Once Applejack and Rainbow dash arrived a waiter appeared and took everybody’s order. After about two hours of good food and good company, people started to depart for bed, first it was the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Fluttershy and Rarity, who were all sharing a room, then Big Mac and Pinkie, who were also sharing a room, and finally the last four left also. Dash fell onto her bed and reveled in how soft it was, Applejack however headed into the bathroom to change. While Applejack was in the bathroom, Dash decided to change also.
“Hey RD, we should see who gets the shower in the morning-” Applejack stopped suddenly, she just came out of the bathroom to see Dash in her underwear, pulling up her pajama pants, she saw Applejack blushing slightly and she decided to have a little fun.
“Like what you see, AJ?” she asked playfully waggling her hips a little, making Applejack blush even harder, before she pulled her pajama pants up fully.
“Just go to sleep,” Applejack said as she turned off the light. With a giggle Dash climbed into her bed and settled down for the night, letting sleep, once again wash over her.
