Rainbow Dash and Applejack have been friends since they met... or at least after they stopped trying to kill each other. Long story short, they're quite close. Dash wants to be closer.
But, when Rarity comes to Rainbow Dash with a desperate plea, will Dash choose to serve her own desires or be the loyal friend that her element prescribes her to be?
Also, all of the chapter names are quotes from Mark Twain. He's awesome - you should read some of his books when you're done with my stories!
Chapters (5)
I'm going to be honest and say that I'm more interested in the 'past' story than the 'present' right now. It's just a lot more interesting at this moment in time to me. Overall it was pretty decently written; though perhaps a tad short.
Oh well, keep it up
Loved it! Can't wait to see more
Wow, this is awesome! I definately want to see more!
I'm really hoping that this ends up as a Rarijack.
While I'm terribly interested in where this is going, and would like to read more soon, the only pertinent thing on my mind at the moment, is FUCKING DAMMIT I LOST THE GAME!!!!
...
Thanks for all of your kind comments! :) I will include a bunch more past story, and the next chapter should clock out at about 3k words.
HaHa! Dessert fornication.
457786 Desert fornication jokes are my favorites.
I liked the first chapter. I really really liked this chapter. The intwined flashbacks really enhance the exchange between Rarity and Rainbow, and add layers of complexity to the story. When I clicked on this, I thought it would be a simple ship fic, but it's so much richer than that. I can't wait to read more.

Thanks! I appreciate your comment, and I hope my next chapter will live up to your expectations!

I really love this! I love the way you portray Rainbow Dash and her internal monologues, and intertwine the two stories. I hope Appledash ends up being endgame, but even if it doesn't this is still a wonderful story. Keep writing, you're awesome at it
The coarse southern accent rang in the pegasus's ears. Should be pegasi's ears.
Only error I found. Nice job with grammar.
And an even better job with the story! I like how you describe things. You took a few short moments and made them seem longer, giving intricate details. Onto the next chapter!

I'm not disagreeing with your grammatical critique so much as I'm confused by it - Why should I pluralize pegasus, if it is only one pegasus's [pegasi's] ears that are being affected? Also thank you so much :) I love seeing all these comments!
By the way, I am almost done with the next chapter, but I've got a lot of writer's block and I don't want it to be a bad chapter because of that!
534445 Ugh, I hate writer's block. And you have a good argument there. It was about 4 in the morning when I typed that, so I guess I didn't read it right or something. Pegasus's is right.
Oh yea, and I didn't say this before, but I like what you did with the Mark Twain titles.

I like this allot so far. Normally I don't allow myself to fave something that only has three chapters but in this case I'll make an exception.
Quick question:
When Applejack was crying while Rainbow flew away was that because it was the anniversary of Applejack parents death or something? I'm confused as to why Applejack was crying. Are you going to that clearer next chapter or something?

It's supposed to be a cliffhanger, hopefully it will keep you all excited and curious for the next chapter.
541190
Alright then I'll just wait, as was your intent all along, you evil genius.
I got my eye on you.
But seriously I freaking hate cliffhangers and I beg you not to use them willy nilly. They're fine occasionally but, think of how frustrating it is that EVERY FREAKING CHAPTER of anthropology ends on a cliffhanger. I really hope you don't plan on doing something like that every chapter.
It briefly crossed her mind that this could have been quite kinky, but her mind was soon preoccupied with the approach of her captor. HAHA!!!
It was one, fluid, yanking movement that ended in one hell of a sting. Don't believe you need that first comma.
The quaint cowpony held shard of glass in her mouth, and didn't break eye contact as she put it on the side table. Should be 'held a shard of glass'.
She looked nervously at her side and noticed that he wounds weren't quite as grievous as she had assumed. 'the wounds'
Nice second chapter. Love how you intertwine the past and present. It adds a nice effect. Now, onto the next chapter!!

AJ gently walked her friend friend over to a chair at the kitchen table. One extra 'friend'.
Only error I saw. I swear, this plot is amazing.
Oh, and one more thing before I go; DAMN YOU FOR THAT CLIFFHANGER!!
Now I have to wait to find out! SO MUCH RAGE!! 
That is all. Write on my friend.

Thank you death brony! While your name makes me a bit nervous, I really appreciate your critiques. I should have those all fixed up ASAP.
544949 In the long time that I have had this name, you are the first to say that.
Which is quite surprising. Just call me DB. It is a bit weird being called Death Brony.
And I'm glad you appreciate my [constructive] criticism! Some people don't understand that I do it to make a piece appear better, so that readers won't catch those little mistakes later and judge the writer.
I really look forward to your next chapter! I'm more interested to know what Mark Twain quote you'll use next. Write on!

Lovely story and this my favorite love triangle.
However I do hope that each ship get their own depths, one giant mistake I read in love triangles fics is when one character is just pushed aside in favor of the victorious ship and so far it felt like Rarity was going to be pushed aside just like that in order for appledash to work out until the last scene between Rarity and Applejack which quite frankly saved the chapter.
Thrilled and can't wait for more.
I want the next chapter and I want it naow
Wow it's been a long time since this story updated. I was convinced that I'd never actually read this story until I saw my own comments on the previous chapters. I had to re-read the whole fic just to remind myself of what was happening.
Anyway, infrequency aside this was a good chapter. I'm also loving the time jumps, they can be a little confusing and take me a moment or two to figure out, but I definitely think they add more to the story then they take away. I mean at times I get a little annoyed at how you never seem to stick with one scene or sequence of events but that feeling is soon forgotten when I get wrapped up in the next scene or sequence, so I guess that's just something I'll have to deal with.
Your writing style is oh so many shades of excellent. It's just really really clever I guess. I get completely wrapped up in all the different word plays and oddly made sentences that you just flood your story with. You have a very unique voice and I appreciate it greatly.
Also of note is that I'm finding it very difficult to like Rarity, I mean the most outstanding characteristic for her in this story is without a doubt "vain". Nothing about her actions indicate to me that she actually really has strongly invested feeling in Applejack. At the most I can say she had a dramatized school yard crush.
Anyway good chapter and I hope to see more of this story on a more regular basis.
I want moar. This chapter has been most satisfactory but I'll get that craving back soon.
Another great chapter.
Wow, it's been a while. But hey, being just as busy at times, I understand you probably don't have much time to write.
Either way, this chapter was absolutely amazing. It truly tugged at my heartstrings (no pun intended). Just the way you write amazes me. The story is something else altogether. You have real talent. Or more like a natural feel for writing.
Anyways, I can't wait for the next chapter. I don't care how long it takes, as long as I get to read this fantastic piece of art.

Thanks y'all! I'm glad you like it.
828803 and I'm trying to work the reader's way slowly into understanding the characters and my ending... I think your opinion might be changed later on. :)

Well I'll guess we'll see.
Funny thing about triangles: there are always three different angles involved. (And now you know everything I remember from geometry class, half a century ago.)
Sticking around for the next chapter can't hurt, so I shall.
Interesting. Very interesting. I really have no idea how this is going to turn out now. Rarity was much more likable after this chapter.

your story is so confusing I am missing great deals of information
it's like with every new chapter, I have to reread the whole story again
Not that I wouldn't want to :)

I hope you will!

I figured she would be. Thanks for always reading my new chapters, it means a lot. :)

I hope that doesn't take too long! Twilight's dream story, maybe?
872024 I have no idea what you mean with Twilight's dream story
I haven't re-read it yet
will do it with the next chapter
This story just keeps getting better. The shifting timelines have at this point given the story a almost hallucinatory feel. I love how every sentence reveals just a little more of the whole picture.
Putting too much of yourself into your stories, eh? I know the feeling.
This story, just like so many great stories, just gets better and better. I love the way you write your chapters, and the emotion in them amazes me. All the intricate details and small wonders that add up to a bigger picture that no one expected. Can't wait for the next chapter.
But until then, write on my friend!

Will this story ever be updated? I need to know whether or not I should bother tracking it anymore.
Damn, dead on the second last chapter! Too bad, too as this was a good story.
