Peppermint - bahatumay

"I'm telling you, you're gonna love these!"

Applejack rolled her eyes (again) and slammed her rear hooves against the tree, sending apples cascading down. "Ah'm a little busy at the moment, Rainbow."

"Look, though," Rainbow said, holding out the bag. "Double mint peppermint sticks! That's, like... double the mint! How could you not want one of these?"

Applejack frowned. "Ah don't think so. Double mint just means they distilled the mint twice t' make it extra pure."

Rainbow examined the plain brown packaging and, of course, having bought these at the Ponyville market, found no information there. "How do you know that?" she asked.

"Apples ain't all we grow, Rainbow," Applejack grinned, returning to her work.

Rainbow rolled her eyes. "Fine. But still. You gotta try one."

Applejack let out an exaggerated sigh. "Fine. Give me one."

Rainbow pulled one out of the bag with her teeth and flipped it with her tongue before pulling it partially into her mouth, so it rested between her teeth like a red and white bit.

Applejack cocked her head. "Wh-"

But Rainbow just nodded expectantly.

It only took two seconds for Applejack to understand. This was Rainbow's way of saying, 'If you want it, come and take it.'

And that peppermint stick was suddenly looking surprisingly desirable.

It was the work of a second. Applejack exploded forward and tackled her to the ground. She rested a hoof against Rainbow's chest. "Gotcha," she whispered.

Rainbow merely smirked and clenched her teeth defiantly, but she couldn't prevent her wings from spreading against the ground in response to the forcible contact.

Applejack leaned down and tried to pry the peppermint stick away using her nose, even going so far as to try and nudge it out sideways, but Rainbow wasn't having any of that and kept her teeth firmly clenched.

Perfect.

This time, Applejack tried using her tongue as a lever, working it in between Rainbow's lower teeth and the peppermint stick. Rainbow whimpered a bit but tried to play it off as just hard breathing as Applejack's tongue invaded her mouth. The peppermint stick was slick from the combination of saliva and sugar, and Applejack couldn't get a firm grip.

That didn't stop her from trying, though.

Having decided Rainbow's lower lip had had enough, Applejack started at the top, leaning over and tilting her head for the best angle to avoid Dash's muzzle and force her tongue between Rainbow's top teeth and the ever elusive peppermint stick. This was a bit awkward, as she had to push her tongue down to try and fit it between the empty space and that downward movement wasn't one her tongue normally did. She curled her tongue underneath and pulled, trying to retrieve her prize, but Rainbow kept a firm grip.

Applejack felt Rainbow's lips curl up in a defiant little smirk, and she frowned before grinning impishly. Not this time. Applejack lifted a hoof and brushed it against the lower coverts of Rainbow's left wing. Rainbow subconsciously arched her back ever so slightly and let out an involuntary little -nyeh!-, which made her jaw relax ever so slightly and let Applejack grab the peppermint stick with ease.

"'o 'ere," Applejack taunted, crunching the candy deliberately.

Rainbow growled, but her anger didn't reach her eyes. She got to her hooves, pulled out another stick, and clenched it in her mouth again. "'es' 'wo ou' o' 'ree?" she demanded.

Applejack nodded as she swallowed the rest of the peppermint stick, and licked her lips expectantly. Best two out of three sounded wonderful right now.
