It was Saturday morning, nine days after I first saw Twilight.
Me and AJ had been lazing around at Sweet Apple Acres, watching tv in the den and eating some sort of apple flavoured cereal, when Twilight was brought into the conversation by Applejack.
"Have you talked to that girl recently?" Applejack asked, shoving a spoon full of apple flakes in her mouth. I was caught off guard to say the least, since all other times he talked to Twilight, AJ hadn't been with me.
"If you mean Twilight, then yeah, we've said hi while passing in the hallways a few times...why?" I replied rather softly, hoping I chose the right response. I didn't want Applejack rambling on about her all day.
AJ seemed to ignore my question and asked me one instead. "How's yer' guys's relationship goin'?"
At this, I paused, setting my spoon down inside the bowl. I turned to look at her. Why in hell would she ask me that? Bitch. "There is no relationship." I growled forcefully, hoping to end this ASAP. It certainly wasn't going anywhere good. "We aren't even friends. Barely acquaintances. Why are we even talking about her?" I asked, taking hold of my spoon again and obnoxiously slurping some milk.
"Because," Applejack paused to finish the last bite of her breakfast. "Y'all like er', don't you?" She stood up, walked to the kitchen, and then promptly started to wash her dish in the sink. I followed in a swift pursuit, leaving the TV on.
"No way in hell I do!" I lowered my eyebrows and snarled. "I'm not gay, Applejack." She started to dry the dish as I talked, keeping on a calm mask which I had never seen before. Usually Applejack was all over with her emotions, especially anger. I was internally freaking out, but I kept on talking anyway. "I've never liked a girl, and I never will. That's like me saying that out of nowhere you were a lesbian." I crossed his arms over my chest, assuming too soon that I won our dispute.
"Now listen here, Rainbow Dash." she said, turning to face me. "That's true, that ah' ain't never once liked a girl. But if one day ah' did, ah' wouldn't punish myself for it. Neither should you." AJ set her now clean-and-dried dish in the cupboard above the kitchen sink. And then she walked away, leaving me with soapy water and some damn confused thoughts.
