The arrival of Ponyville's Annual Hearts and Hooves Day is fast approaching. Every pony seems to have a date-except two. As Rainbow Dash and Applejack struggle with their feelings, they see another opportunity arise. If you can't have the pony you really want, why not go for the next best thing?

*Takes place after Season 4 of MLP: FIM*

"See them?"

It's on!!!!

Spike on Cloud Nine

Thank you for all the faves. I know I haven't gotten back to all of you but I really do appreciate it. I had originally wrote it just for myself and was contemplating whether to put it up but I'm glad some of you enjoyed it. Also, sorry if the pacing is a bit quick and grammar isn't the best.

Yeah. I can see where this is going.

Yeah. I can see where this is going.

"That's ma point. Ya didn't say no. Now ah reckon it's not 'cause ya fell in love with me and Rainbow at first sight, but it's 'cause we reminded you of each other. Let's face it. We all look alike. And ya thought maybe if ya got the next best thing, it wouldn't be half bad. Am ah right?" Applejack explained"... Does all this (and the whole conversation) counts as AJ confession?:rainbowhuh:

If not, in what moment AJ spill the beans??? :applejackunsure: I'm kind of lost here.:trixieshiftright: Great story by the way!:twilightblush:

By confession, I meant which one said "I like you" to the other first. Coupled with the fact that Applejack had said "I've been harbouring feelings for a certain rainbow Pegasus" was my hint that Applejack was going to confess first. Although Rainbow Dash was about to confess, Applejack cut her off, thus revealing her feelings first. Sorry if that was a bit unclear.

That makes sense!

Haha, such a cute little story. 'Buck' them 9 haters, this was good, the pacing and grammar wasn't too bad either nice job!

OHHHH THEEE FEEELS YES YES YES YES!

A really interesting idea, gotta give you that. Quite a few typos and other mistakes here and there, though. I actually never pictured Rainbow, of all ponies, as a good songstress. Her cracking voice just seems to be way to... unstable to sing in a controlled, serious way.
It was rather obvious where this whole thing would went - nothing wrong about that, mind you, I just wished there would've been more exposition, more closure for their dates and their reconciliation.

An entertaining, nice little piece of fluff.

Thank you.

Why did she go for Apple Cobbler? Why didn't she ask me? Am Ah not pretty enough? Well every pony did say Apple Cobbler was always prettier.

I know how you feel. :pinkiesad2:

Gives Rainbow Dash a good buck upside her head.

Rainbow Dash thinking "Horesapples!"

I can definetly see where this is going.

5956040 Thanks for the critique. And yea, being my first story and looking back to it now, I felt like it was really predictable. I'm not sure I improved or not but I sure hope I did. And like I said, my thanks should go to you for taking the time to read and helping me to improve.

I don't usually read AppleDash though I support the group. But this, absolutely amazing!
