As you walk away from Sugarcube Corner, you reflect on the race. The mare of your dreams has no idea who you are and what you did. It was only a matter of time before she would find out and be angry at you for lying to her. Either way this whole scenario would end up with somepony being furious at you. You felt in no mood to go meet Rainbow Dash, but you couldn’t bare to break her spirits. After all, she stuck with you the entire race and complimented you several times. The flirting was more than apparent, it was open and pretty obvious she was coming on to you.
As you run these thoughts through your head you become more nervous as to what might lie ahead for you at Dash’s house. By the time you make it to her address you are too nervous to go in, and you just want to go back and hang around with your friends. The ones you trust and the ones you’ll stick with until the end. Your family. Ok, so maybe she was the most talented flier in Ponyville, but she was just a weather-mare. What would the public think of you? A professional Wonderbolt such as yourself becoming smitten with a weather clearer for a small town such as Ponyville. You like Rainbow Dash, you like her A LOT. But there was something about Applejack that just grabbed your attention. Seeing as now you had nothing left to lose, you knock on the door. In a few seconds Dash answers the door. She looks like she is busy, as she has a frown on her face when she answers the door. However when she spots who it is she immediately blushes and a twinkle in her eye appears.
“Oh! Hi Silverbolt, why don’t you come on in and have a seat. Her cloud-house was absolutely giant. You flew into what appeared to be her sleeping quarters. You take a seat on her bed and she says “I’ll be in in just a sec!” You sit on her bed for a while looking around her room. You gave up and find that the ceiling is quite low, and some sort of paper seems to be hanging off it by tape that has dried up. You push the picture up and stick it up to the low ceiling again. However, something catches your eye. This isn’t a paper, this is a medium sized poster, about the size of a map of Ponyville. You back away from it a little and look at it. This poster is a poster of you. It features a picture of you doing your trademark “Silver Thunder” stunt, and in the corner it says “Silverbolt”, but you look closer at the name, and someone had written over it “Sexybolt” with a smiley face next to it. You look over to the far wall and you can make out another poster of you, this time with a fake signature of yours on it, and a love heart.
You increasingly become more uncomfortable at the sight of these, and the air in the room starts to become thick. You feel like bringing these to her attention but you’re afraid she might get embarrassed. You look at the doorway and see a smirking Rainbow Dash leaning against the doorway, you’re heart skips in fright and you quickly start to make it look like you didn’t notice the posters.
“You saw those posters eh?” She says as she flicks her rainbow mane aver her shoulder. She looks at you showing a toothy smirk eagerly waiting a response.
“Uh, no? oh wait you mean these? oh yeah, those are cool, and that one, yeah I like that one..” you start to mumble as she walks over to you. You blush heavily as she brings her head closer to yours.
“And.....and.....the silver.....thunder.....” you’re whispering now. You get a rush of adrenaline as her soft warm lips meet yours. You start to feel sweat beads on your neck and she wastes no time in feeling for your tongue with hers. Her tongue tastes like cherry and mint, and you slowly start to succumb to her advances. She breaks the kiss and says “I....I have only ever dreamt of that.” and before you can say anything she grabs you and literally throws you onto her bed, and lays on top of you. She again kisses you passionately again, trying her very hardest to suck every last ounce of pleasure out of it. She starts to direct her attention to your neck, when the there is a knock on the door. You awaken from the hot situation and as she gets up off of you she playfully says “sit tight!”, and you sit up on her bed, still in complete shock.
You sit there for a minute, having just experienced the most heavenly encounter you have had with a mare for a long time. You gaze out the window at the sprawling plains of Equestria with the sunlight dancing in your eyes, when you start to hear a conversation in the background.
“Congratulations on winnin’ the Runnin’ of the Leaves, Rainbow!”
Your face gets hot. You were in deep shit now. Applejack was at the door, about to find you in her room, with the smell of Dash’s scent all over your face and neck. And even worse, your lie will be busted. You duck into the nearby closet and catch your breathe. The conversation pans out as follows.
“I didn’t win the race, AJ”
“Huh, but some fella told me at Sugarcube Corner that you won.”
“Really? That’s weird. What did he look like?”
“Well, he was a real handsome pegasus, with a silver mane and sky blue fur.”
“Ohhh, you mean a certain fella in my room, right?” She says louder.
“What.. What do you mean Rainbow?”
“AJ, you have been misinformed, big time.”
“Well if you didn’t win, then who did?”
There is an awkward silence.
“I know just the colt to tell you that!”
You scramble around in the closet trying to find the doorknob, and when your hoof meets it, you burst out of the closet, right into the cheeky grin of Rainbow Dash, and the startled face of Applejack. She had an aura around her, that of an earth pony who is under a spell. This shining glow not only allows her to walk nimbly on the clouds, but  further emphasised her bright eyes and mane.
                                        *        *        *        *
“Let’s all sit down”
“What in the world is goin’ on Rainbow?”
“Is this the kind gentlecolt you met at Sugarcube Corner, AJ?”
“Why... why, yes it is.”
“Did he tell you that I, Rainbow Dash, won the Running of the Leaves?”
“Yes he did, Dash but-”
“Do you know who REALLY won the race Applejack?”
“No, no I can’t say that I do.”
She points at Applejack and grins. “You did.”
Those final two words are what pushed you over the edge. Your bottom lip quivered as the thought sank in. The mare of your dreams now found out you were a liar.
“But, that’s impossible Rainbow! I don’t even remember entering into that race!” There was desperation in her voice now. You felt now was the right time to speak up.
“I wouldn’t expect you too.” Both mares turn to you. “You passed out half way through from trying to keep up, I was amazed at how fast you were running. So I picked you up, put you on your back and brought you all the way to the finish line. Then I dropped you and pushed you over the line. You won, Applejack. And I was too much of a coward to tell you at Sugarcube Corner, especially since you had forgotten all about me. I’m sorry for lying to you, and I swear that what I did was out of kindness and-” Before you can finish the sentence Applejack throws herself onto you and your lips meet hers. She immediately forces her tongue straight into your mouth, and begins to play with yours. You had no idea what would possess her to do this, but you didn’t care, and all you wanted was for it to never end. But as soon as she runs out of breathe, she breaks the kiss
“I...I... I knew there was somethin’ about you. I could recognise the face and the voice.” She stares deeply into your eyes. “But I couldn’t quite remember how I knew you.” She dives in again, this time focusing on your neck, and you lay back, soaking in all of her.
“Hey, AJ save some for me, would ya’!” Rainbow goes around to your right side. Applejack moves down to your chest and Rainbow begins to taste your neck and cheeks, making sure that no part of your face is left unattended. Her wings unfurl and Applejack looks hot and flushed.

"I think we should spend the night here, don't you?"
