Playing With Apples

by Royal Horsey Time


The Only Chapter

The Castle of Friendship the the new hotspot for everybody to see, the brand new castle with the newest princess. Screw Canterlot Castle, that dump is old news. It didn't take long for word to spread about where Twilight Sparkle lives, causing everybody to rush down to Ponyville for this newest attraction. The surge of ponies and other creatures greatly increased the town's population and funds, causing a massive expansion that nearly tripled the size of the town.

Princess Twilight Sparkle had no problem opening her castle to the public. The more ponies that visited, the more friends she can make! It also meant she can help with more friendship problems, read to children, provide shelter for those in need, the list goes on and on (approximately 61 pages).

Everyday, the castle welcomed everyone from every country with open arms (or open doors?). They loved to see and explore the castle, hoping to get a glimpse of the princess, the Element Bearers, or even The Spirit of Chaos.

Today was one of those days, filled to the brim with ponies, griffons, diamond dogs, changelings, and even a dragon!

The newest princess, Twilight Sparkle, spent her day in the library. She was currently hosting another reading session for the colts and fillies. Todays sessions was specifically for Pegasus children, the book covered topics such as wind speed, drag, and other things the author is to lazy to look up.

After a hour of explaining, she closed the book with a sigh, and look at her little ponies. They stared at her with stars in their eyes, completely stunned. Twilight felt pride and could not conceal the grin on her face. The children started to cheer, and Twilight nearly cried tears of happiness.

They are so excited to learn! I can't wait to teach them everything I know!

She was ready to jump up and down in joy…..for about five seconds…

“It’s Rainbow Dash!”

Huh?

Twilight watched as the kids got up and ran behind her. She turned around to see them swarm Rainbow Dash and artillery barrage her with questions.

“Whoawhoawhoa guys, don't worry, there's plenty of awesome to go around” Rainbow said while pointing to herself. She flared her wings out and charge towards Twilight.

“AHH! RAINBOW DASH!” but Twilight’s words fell on deaf ears as Dash jumped over the chair, twirl through the air, and landed safely on her feet.

“See? What did I tell ya?” Rainbow said while nonchalantly examining her nails. The colts and fillies ran back to her, cheering and throwing compliments at her.

“Thanks guys, I AM pretty awesome.”

RAINBOW DASH! Don't do that, you could of caused an accident!”

“Oh lighten up, Twi, how can I say ‘no’ to my fans?”

Twilight scowled at her friend, “They never said anything…”

“Whatever. Hey listen, we still up for tonight?”

Twilight almost forgot, how could she forget the slumber party with her friends? She really needs to step it up.
“Oh, right!”, her mood instantly better, “of course! 8:00 tonight.”

“Great! I'll see you then, gotta dash!” She gives Twilight a quick salute before hopping over the children and flying out a open window, leaving a rainbow trail.

Twilight watched as the children ran to the ran, disappointed that the cool (and hot, according to the colts,) flyer left, only gracing them with her presence for such a short time.

Twilight cleared her throat, “Don't worry, my little ponies! We finished 5 chapters, we still have 17 more to go!”, she got a collective groan from all of them.


««Later That Night»»



Twilight was combing through her list, making sure she had everything she needed.

Ok, first item. Food?
Check.
Games?
Check.
Sleeping Bags?
Check.
Friends?
Check
8:30 on the dot?
Check.

“Come o-o-o-n, I'm bo-o-o-ored!” Rainbow Dash whined while rolling around on her pillow.

Twilight and her friends decided to use one of the many, empty room in her castle to use for their slumber party. It was perfect, enough space to lay down sleeping bags, pillows for sitting, food, and games while still leaving plenty of room so nopony won’t accidently step on each other.

“Dash, quit yer complaining…”

“Hush, cowgirl.”

“Yeah, Jacky, being bored is s-o-o-o boring! That's why it’s called ‘boring’!”

“Just making sure everything is ready.” Twilight said while looking through her list for the fourth time.

Triple check list?
Check.

“Ok! We are ready!”

“FINALLY.”

“WOO-HOO! PARTY TIME!”

“Oh my, how exciting.”

“...yay…”

“Glad to hear that, sugarcube.”

The night kicked off without a hitch. Games were played, snacks were eaten, Spike was violently woken from his slumber. The night started to wind down, and our little ponies decided to consume alcohol that Rainbow Dash has brought. With their lips loose and minds clouded, Twilight and her friends are about to learn some startling information.

“Ok ok, so...I gotta ask”- Rainbow Dash took another swig out of an unlabeled bottle. -”Who here would do Shining Armor?”

Twilight a did a double takes and calmly spoke (yelled) “WHAT THE HAY, RAINBOW!?”

“I mean come on….I would…”

“I don't know about myself, darling”, Rarity chimed in, “yes, he is handsome but he is no drag- I mean not my type!” She closed her eyes with a completely, innocent smile and a light blush.

Pinkie jumped up and stood on her feet, hopping on her pillow, “Oh oh oh! I'm sure he's got a big party cannon in his pants!”

“PINKIE, WHY!?”, Twilight was on the verge of tears (and double-homicide).

Applejack lowered her hat across her face and blushed, “come on, girls, leave her alone now.”

“Come on, AJ, are you seriously saying that you WOULDN’T ride him like a cowgirl?”

“Fer starters, that's a little offensive. Second, of course ah would! Ahm just sayin’ that we leave poor Twi alone.”

Twilight was absolutely flabbergasted and angry. She knew a small part of brain was telling her that it is stupid to get mad over what buzzed mares are saying but that was quickly suppressed from her anger over her friends thinking of her family like that.

“Hey, don’t talk about Shiny like that! He’s my BROTHER who is MARRIED!”

Rainbow looked at Twilight Spazzle with a blank expression, “So? We’re just having some fun.”

“So? SO!?”, Twilight’s face contorts into an expression promising pain without end. Unfortunately, the purple horse was too mad to come up with a logical response, “WHAT ABOUT BIG MAC!? WHY NOT HIM!?”

“Big Mac?”, Rainbow piqued up, “I already did him.”

Applejack nearly ripped her hat in half and stood up, “AH BEG YER PARDON!!”

“Oh, come on Applebutt! You JUST said you would have sex with Twilight’s brother! What's the difference!?”

“Make it stop!” Twilight cried.

“The difference being is that you actually had sex with him!”
A shudder went up Applejacks spine as she said that.

Pinkie quickly raised her hand, “OH! OH! I TRIED HIS FROSTING TOO!”, she slowly put her arm down and let out a nervous giggle, “o-oops, busted~”

“Ya BOTH messed around with my brother!?”

“Actually…we all...uhm…played with his apple tree…?”, Rainbow tried to smile but she ended up looking more scared than anything

Applejack.exe has stopped responding. Would you like to reboot?
Y [N]
Would you like to fire all of the missiles?
[Y] N

Applejack recoiled back in shock, “DAG-NABBIT, RAINBOW, ALL OF YOU!?”

Rainbow had a nervous look on her face and said, “E-Eyup, even Fluttershy…”

Fluttershy confirmed this info with her squeak of approval from her hiding position, behind the couch.

Rainbow stood up and moved close Applejack, “I'm so sorry you had to find out this way. We wanted to tell you but….well, we were scared too.”

“WHEN I GIT MY HANDS ON Y-”

“Wait wait, hold on…”, Twilight finally found her voice, “I haven't been with Big Mac….and all of you have?”

Rarity butted in, “well, I haven’t either…”

Rainbow Dash leaned in towards Pinkie and whispered, “That explains a lot…” While Pinkie covered her mouth to stifle a giggle.

“YOU TWO HUSH, YOU DON’T GET TO SPEAK”, Applejack focused her attention to Twilight and Rarity, “Well at least SOME of ya have the decency to not SCREW MY BROTHER BEHIND MY BACK!”

The rest of them felt guilty for hiding this from their friend, too ashamed to look Applejack in the eyes.

Applejack stood up, fixed her hat, and headed for the door, “G’night girls.”

Twilight stood up, “What!”, she ran over to Applejack “why are you leaving?”

“Gonna have a little talk with my brother”, and with that last line, Applejack opened the door, walked out and slammed the door closed.

A few moments later, Pinkie let out a loud, fake yawn and looked at her nude wrist, “WOW, just look at the time! I gotta...uh...CUPCAKES!”, She ran to the door and ripped it open, “Bye Twilight, sorry you're still a virgin!”, she waved at Twilight then ran home.

“I’M NOT A VIRGIN!”, Twilight yelled as she crossed her arms and pouted with the intensity of 1000 teenagers.

“Oh my, Pinkie is right. Come, Rainbow Dash, we should get to our homes”, Rarity grabbed Rainbow by the collar of her shirt and dragged her out, “Ciao!”

“TWI, HELP! I NEED AN ADULT!”

“Oh but darling, I am an adult.”

Twilight watched in bemusement (and slight horror) as the last of her friends left. She walked to the door and leaned against the door frame.

I can't help but feel like this is all my fault…

Fighting back tears, she turned off the light and left the room to go straight to her bedroom.

“Um, hello?”, Fluttershy poked her head out from behind the couch, “Rainbow? Applejack? Anypony?”
