Applejack is a Silly Pony

Applejack is a Silly Pony

Applejack had just finished ‘buckin sum apples’ when she noticed her rainbow-maned friend approaching. She tilt her hat and greeted.
“Hey, Dash! How are ya?”
Upon hearing the earth pony’s wonderful country accent, the pegasus put on a smile.
“Hi AJ! You wanna do something? I finished my weatherwork long ago, and I’m tired of napping.”
“Uhh... how can ya get tired of napping? It’s not really tiring. It’s actually a cure for tireness”
“Well excuse me so very much, I meant bored. So, are you up for a race?”
“How could I turn down a challenge from my arch nemesis?”
After battling each other out in all kinds of imaginable competitions, they both collapsed on a hill, just as the day began to come to an end. At first they just laid there, side by side, watching as the sky changed colours - from a light blue pretty close to Dash’s coat, to an intense orange not unlike Applejack’s.
The pegasus broke the long silence.
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”
“Yeah...”
Small talking was the only thing they could manage to do, being so exhausted, and as such the conversation went on.

Good friends as they were, they talked about everything and nothing, fully trusting the other to understand and keep it a secret. And so, the topics got more and more personal...“Say, Dash... you ever really been in love with someone? Like, more than just a li’l crush?”
The winged mare just shook her head.
“Pfft, no way! I’m just so busy training for the Wonderbolts... I don’t have time for anyone. And colts are just so... stupid, and selfish. I could never even stand having one as a friend, so I don’t think I could ever want to live the rest of my life with one!”
She chuckled a bit. AJ looked at her, indifferently.
“What about... fillies?”
A look of surprise entered Rainbow’s face.
“Uhh, what?”
“You know, it doesn’t have to be a mare and a stallion...”
Dash tilted her head, giving her friend a funny look.
“Two mares together? Haha, that’s just silly!” the light blue pegasus tried to put on a smile as she did her best to hide the nervousness in her laugh.
“I wouldn’t say that, it’s not much different from ‘normal’ relationships, and pretty common. Haven’t you noticed Lyra and Bon-Bon?” Applejack said in a serious tone.
“Wait, what? Are those two... I always thought they were just very good friends, but it does make sense now that I think about it...”
An awkward silence fell upon them, and seemed to last forever. Until the blonde-maned pony broke it.
“Well, I should be going. I’m really tired, and I have another long day in front of me.”
“Already? The sun hasn’t even fully set yet. Don’t be silly, AJ!” Rainbow teased.
Applejack put on a stern look on her face.
“Well, I guess I am just a silly pony, so you’ll have to excuuuse me.”
She frowned, grunted and trotted away.

Who’s a silly pony?
You’re a silly pony!
Who is?
You is!
Applejack...

Rainbow Dash just stood there, looking confusingly as the orange earth pony walked away. It was not until her friend disappeared into the horizon that she let out a “Oooh!” as the last pieces of the puzzle fell to place.

Even though she felt tired, she couldn’t relax the slightest when closing her eyes. she had too many thoughts and emotions that needed to be sorted out. While this usually is better taken care of by ones unconsciousness while sleeping, it was so overwhelming that she just couldn’t get it out of her head.“Applejack...” Dash sighed.
She couldn’t stop thinking about her. How she always was so brave, strong and hardworking... she was really a good friend. But she was starting to see her ‘friend’ in a completely new way. While she had admired all those aspects before, she had not really admired them like she did now. Or perhaps she had only not dared to admit it to herself.
When AJ had mentioned... it, Rainbow began to feel nervous. Memories from her days back at Junior Speedsters had decided to revisit her mind.
She was pretty much the same back then; stubborn, proud, tough... but also friendly and loyal. That didn’t help her to get many friends though, as she almost always was busy flying. And she certainly had no time for stupid colts! She did get ‘funny’ thoughts about some of her few filly friends though, but she just shook them off as if they were nothing.
Rainbow Dash pondered for a while.
“I guess I’m pretty silly too...” the pegasus said, finally confessing for herself.

At the Apple Farm, a certain orange pony could not sleep, either. She lied about having a lot to do tomorrow, in fact she had the day off - but wanted to go to bed anyway since she didn’t have much else to do, and needed to be alone for a while, be able to think.Applejack had hoped her friend would share her feelings, or at least... be the same way, so she’d have a chance. But judging by Dash’s reaction, that was not the case at all.
“I shouldn’t have assumed that just because of how coltish she is...” AJ pondered for a moment.
She wondered what her friend thought of her, now that she knew her secret. Maybe she didn’t even want to be friends anymore? The earth pony let out a frustrated grunt as the idea hit her.
She finally decided to, tomorrow, ask for RD’s forgiveness, and beg that she would forget that whole conversation. She wouldn’t let some silly feelings destroy her best friendship!

Applejack woke up to someone knocking on the door. She was slightly shocked when she went up, looked out the window and noticed it was light as day. She always rose with the sun- but now it was set relatively high in the sky. She figured it must have been because she was awake so late thinking, when she heard the knocking again. Slightly rushing to the door, she opened it to find her cyan-blue, rainbow-maned friend.“Hi...” Dash managed to say before becoming a bit embarrassed and looked away.
“About yesterday, I-” AJ interrupted her here.
“No, ah... I’m sorry. I just assumed that with all your rainbows and toughness... I have been looking for an opportunity to tell you for quiet a while now, but I was apparently too naive. I should just have kept it to myself, you probably think I’m a creep now...”
“What? No, you’re the same Applejack I’ve always known!” Rainbow Dash put on a warm and convincing smile, looking into her friends deep, green eyes.
“So... we can just hang out, as usual? I’m actually off today, I just lied so I could get away from the awkward situation.” She looked away, feeling a bit of shame for betraying her element of harmony.
“Actually, it doesn’t necessarily have to be as usual... you see, I’ve done a bit of thinking. About... our conversation. I’ve always really liked you, AJ. Much more than any of the others. But it was not until last night that I discovered... no, accepted that I liked you in a very special way. At least, that’s what I think... I’m not sure, there are just so many thoughts and emotions going through me, still.”
They looked at each other in silence for a moment, until Rainbow spoke again.
“Do you maybe... wanna, like, go out? On dinner, a walk, or something?” A blush could be seen on her cheeks..
The orange mare was taken by surprise, but quickly regained her posture. “Ya, that sounds great, sugarcube!” she said as her face was stretched by a big smile.
The pegasus let out a sigh of relief. “I mean, it couldn’t hurt to try... I want to give this... us... a chance.”
Her friend responded by leaning in and placing a soft kiss on her muzzle.
Rainbow Dash blushed even harder.
“Applejack, you silly pony...”

I'll just drop a comment to say that I liked this story :-)

I have two longer, more "serious" ship/clop fics in the works... but production is kinda frozen atm due to various stuff.

too much porn to watch? don't worry, we understand ;D[img]null[/img]

Damn it! Why can't people accept RD IS STRAIGHT!

If you need to make these Romatic stories make her be in love with a COLT! A Wonderbolt is an idea!

[huntersunday]

rainbow dash has actually been acknowledged as straight.
people can have their opinoins and i won't hold it against them but it's always good to know the truth.
also, this fan fic is okay but i would like it to be longer. probably cause i usually read long ones.

[Swagg]

I like this shipping, but a straight Dashie is more for me. Cool story tho I liked it.

I personally like to believe that every intelligent creature in Equestria is bi/omni/pan-sexual. They wouldn't care about anything so shallow as gender.

read better but this is like in the top 6 i read

[Ganymede]

At first they just laid their
- there

The sun haven’t even fully set yet
- hasn't

When AJ had mentioned... it
- Might add some quotes around "it"

Applejack had hoped her friend would share her feelings, or at least... being the same way
- "be" the same way

Personally I hate comments that say "it's good, but it has some spelling errors", but then never say what they are. I find it at least common courtesy to let an author know *exactly* what needs to be fixed.

Just delete this comment when you're done with it.

Oh, and the it was actually supposed to be in italics. But when I first copied the text from my gdoc it lost the formatting and stuff.

Yeah, true. But I think of Rainbow Dash as a straight. :D
I respect your opinion though.

But they're canonically asexual. Since it's a kids show and all.

oi dumbass flutterdash is the best ship your opinion is invalid
Fluttershy and dash have known each other alot longer
so it makes more sense
DOI u so stupid

First of all, you have successfully made yourself look like a monumental moron by making the ignorant claim that the author's opinion "is invalid" and calling them "stupid". How immature and narrow-minded of you. You may think Flutterdash is the best ship, but that's not a fact, just an opinion, and I won't try to claim that your opinion is invalid.

Secondly, Fluttershy and RD may have known eachother for longer, but that's not the only factor in relationships. RD and Fluttershy are pretty much polar opposites in terms of personality (Fluttershy being, well, shy, and quiet, whereas RD is outgoing, tough and loud), making it a pretty odd ship in my opinion. AJ and RD and more alike in terms of personality (and interests I'd guess). So actually, Appledash makes much more sense than Flutterdash. But again, that's my opinion, and you're entitled to yours, so let's leave it there.

[NotABrony]

i like turtles.....

[Namechanger]

I did a reading on youtube of this, maybe this will get a lot more views now

[RD4eva0920]

ok for the record, rd seems more likely to be bi than anything else, but idc ppl choose what they want to believe, and this is ok, there is definately lots of potential, but there are some grammer issues, (dont nazi me about grammer, this is a comment not a damn story, there is a reason i dont write) among other things, overall ok, could be longer, should make a more clop-ish one RANT OVER

[Appleloosa2011]

Epic!

Who's a silly pony?
You're a silly pony!

[YOitzGEEZUS]

[Durant]
