PROLOGUE



Applejack looked at her in surprise.

“uuh.. come agin?”

Rainbow looked AJ straight in the eyes and repeated herself.

“i saaiiiiid, I think I'm starting to fall for you. You know... I think I love you..”

Rainbow blushed and went slightly quieter towards the end of her statement as she help the orange mares gaze.

Applejack, blushing deeply, smiled and took a step towards Rainbow. 

Whispering in the cyan pony's ear, she said, “ya know... Ah never thought this here day would come.”

Rainbow looked up into the deep green eyes and felt her heart start thumping harder than ever before. “W-what do ya mean AJ?”

“Ah think Ah've been in love with you for a long time, Rainbow Dash.”

Rainbow, having just confessed her one hearts desire (besides the obvious one of joining the Wonderbolts) and finding out the one pony she loved had the same feelings for her, jumped up into the air screaming, “OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!!!!!”

Applejack started chuckling at the sight as a tear slid down her orange cheek. Looking down at her hooves, she started to think about what her family would say. Would they accept that the rainbow pony made her happy and welcome her into the family? Or would they call Applejack a fillyfooler and banish her from the Sweet Apple Acres?

After a few minutes flying in circles, triangles and squares in her excitement, Rainbow started to calm down enough to notice that Applejack didn't seem as happy as she was. Landing next to her, the cyan mare nuzzled the orange pony's neck.

“What's wrong Applejack? …..Aren't you happy?”

Realizing she was making Rainbow worry, she put her smile back on and laughed. It was a genuine laughter, not forced like Rainbow was expecting. Applejack was truly happy at this moment, and worrying about what her family would say would have to wait till later.

“It's nothing Sugarcube, Ah'm just curious about the future is all.”

Rainbow just stood there looking into the green eyes of her partner until Applejack waved a hoof  in front of her face.

“Y'all alrigh' Rainbow?”

Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Rainbow perked up and grinned at Applejack.

“Soo... Now what? Are we marefriend  and marefriend? Are we just gonna keep it a secret, or tell the group? What would Twilight say? Or Fluttershy? Pinkie probably wouldn't care, but I know Rarity would, but OHMYGOSH what about your family?! What about Applebloom? Would they accept us, or-”

Applejack stuffed her hoof into the feathered pony's mouth to shut her up.

“CALM DOWN Rainbow... Y'ur actin' like Pinkie Pie now. No matter what, Ah know my feelings for you, and if your tellin' me the truth, you feel the exact same as me. No matter what happens...” Applejack paused to sigh. “No matter what happens... Ah'm ready to take the consequences as long as it means Ah could be with you.”

Unable to contain her happiness, Rainbow Dash grabbed Applejack in the closest hug she could muster as she whispered, “I swear on everything that I am, I will not let you down. I promise.”
