After months of fighting feelings about Applejack, Rainbow attempts to get her and Applejack on a date together. But when things go horribly wrong and Applejack falls in love with somepony else (and a stallion for that matter), Rainbow has to work out what she'll do in order to win her over.

Tried to make this a bit different from your run of the mill AppleDash fic with a bit of action to boot. Hope you enjoy it! (Second story, woohoo!)
----
Amazing artwork by Shawnyall!
I like the idea behind it, looking forward to more.
5502960 I'm glad you like it so far! I hope to update the story quite regularly, so there should be more soon
Uh....woops?
Smooooooth move, Dash. Way to let AJ know that you're interested in her right off the bat.
I love these fics where rainbow is super shy and adorable when it comes to the romance. There are far too few of them!
This is amazing I only wish you would make the chapters longer! I keep finding myself wanting more!
love it!
MUST HAVE MOREEEEEE!
Goddamnit. Here comes the heart break.
*shoots self*
sweet faust is AJ an idiot. i mean, how can miss honesty not even be able to tell when her best friend is upset?
Wow... Even he is so into this... This is going to be a nasty breakup
5529993 my theory is that he's got another marefriend back in cloudsdale. also, rainbows friends are idiots, agree or disagree?
5530270 Yeah, maybe he is just trying to play it cool . have to agree though, her friends really aren't helping her with this.
Pretty depressing to see I get another dislike with each new chapter Ah well, no turning back now Thank y'all for the support nevertheless!
5532150 its because it's appledash, if people tell you its a really good story. And it is btw, more downvotes mean rarijackers are jealous and you are doing a good job.
Wow! I really love this story so far. Can't wait to see the next chapter :)
Well, that certainly escalated quickly.
Wonder when Dash will get the guts to actually finally tell AJ how she really feels about her?
Honestly, when Applejack said that bit about Dash having a crush on Cloudjumper (boy, did Twilight ever get that one wrong!), I was just surprised that, in all her anger and hurt from what AJ said, she didn't finally spill the beans about her feelings for AJ.
Next chapter soon, please! I wanna find out what happens next between these two!
And just so you know, I hate cliffhangers.
5536638
soon, my friend...soon
5536836 Thank you.
I think it goes without saying that I look forward to that particular conversation.
5530270 I seriously agree with you.
Who wants to bet that if (when) Dash and AJ find that out (provided that it proves to be true, that is), Cloudjumper gets his head thumped pretty good (by Dash), and then gets his sorry tail bucked clear back to Cloudsdale (by AJ)?
AJ is such a dumbass in this story, it hurts my head.
Applejack, you brainless idiot.
Fluttershy, you better show up like the cavalry and explain things to this haybrained friend of yours, or you guys are gonna lose Rainbow.
As in permanently.
And specifically, to whatever "the impending danger ahead of her" is.
Okay, I know I said this in the last chapter, but I hope that we get the next one soon!
And especially after this cliffhanger!
5537966 Yeah, mine, too
5537966 Reading through it myself...yep. AJ is a bit of a moron
5538858 (points to your profile pic) and yet you don't seem at all displeased.
5538858 Yes, she definitely is.
Hopefully, she'll see the light before long.
But, from my own perspective, even if (when) she does, Dash should just shun her for awhile. Maybe that will make AJ realize that Dash is suffering just as much as she is over all this mess...and maybe even more so.
And, since there's no "Tragedy" tag on this story, I'm assuming that Dash doesn't die in this thing.
And as I said earlier, next chapter soon!
Please?
5539396 I think that we all are right about now.
Btw, I just bumped this story up to my Especial Especial Favorites Bookshelf. It's so good it deserves it.
Think you made a bit of a mistake here. This is Cloudjumper who's actually kissing AJ, right?
Anyway, on to other things.........
To this I say.........
Oh, crap!
On another note, where the last line of that is concerned, wouldn't it read better this way:
Well, maybe not, but you seem to have a knack for it.
I think that's why I like this story so much, though. Well done.
And it is so nice to see Applejack finally being smart over all this. To the point of realizing her feelings for Rainbow.
And Cloudjumper, of all ponies, being the voice of reason in all this. Will wonders never cease?
And to be honest, until I read this chapter, I didn't like him all that much, but now? I think he's pretty cool. The fact that he loves AJ enough to give her up so that she'll be happy with her true love (i.e., Rainbow), rather than keeping her as his marefriend, just put him up there with my two favorite mares in my eyes.
Now, that said.........
Please, let them get to Rainbow before it's too late! Please!!!

...maybe Glad you're taking a liking to Cloudjumper though. I never wanted him to be particularly, well...somepony to hate but then again this is an AppleDash story. Anypony who dares get in the way of the two mares isn't met with much of a positive reception.
5544127 Well, if I remember right, it was the two of them in the barn, and not Applejack and Dash.
And you're being silly there.
Well, I didn't at first, but he kinda redeemed himself in this chapter, as he was talking sense about AJ and Dash. And the fact that he's ready to go with her to find Rainbow just redeemed him even more in my eyes.
Hey, what's not to like about a fella who puts aside his own feelings about AJ so she can be with the one who truly loves her, and who she loves in return? That's true sacrifice, and what real selflessness is all about. He loves AJ enough to let her go and be happy, and I can't help but admire that.
How 'bout y'all?
And that's true.
... I totally know who she is talking about.
5543971 On the contrary. I think AJ's feelings are a bit forced. Maybe a deeper introspection would have worked. As it is, the fic reads more like this:
"So Rainbow kissed AJ and AJ rejected her. Cloudjumper came in and found her crying. AJ told him what happened and said Rainbow had been acting strange recently.
'Rainbow loves you'.
'But Ah dun love 'er back!'
'Yes, you do! Let's find her so you two can confess!'"
5545833 Hmmmm, good point.
5545833 As odd as it may sound now, that is sort of the point
If you're talking about AJ and Rainbow, I'm thinking you're right.
This might be a short chapter, but it's excellent. Can't wait to see what happens in Chapter 12!
5545983 5546703 I guess we'll find out soon enough, huh?
5549511 I don't think that we have to worry about that. There would be "Sad" or "Tragedy" tags on this story of that were the case, I'm sure.
5549677 It's true. To be honest, I wouldn't be able to even write something like that because I'd be crying too hard myself.
5549698 Thank you for the confirmation of this.
And I know what you mean. I find it hard to write scenes like that myself.
5549698 Btw, any idea when we'll get the next chapter? I'm anxious to find out if AJ gets to Dash in time to effect a rescue.
And I want Cloudjumper to come out of this okay, too, of course.
5549726 As it happens, I'm writing it on another tab at this very instance.
5549731 Cool! Thanks for the head's up on it!
New chapter! Thank you!
Boy, when you said you were working on it the last time we "talked", you sure weren't kiddin'! Well done!
And Alex, this chapter far exceeded all of my expectations. I look forward to however many are left of this bit of AppleDashy loveliness.
And they're not letting go of each other at the end of the chapter. You get a well-deserved "D'awwwwww!" for that.
Now all we need to do is find out what happened to Cloudjumper (although I think that Twilight and those guards showing up at the end might be just a teeny bit of a clue...as I somehow cannot believe that that's just a coincidence). And if I may forward a bit of a guess, something just tells me we'll find that out soon.
5550073 Glad you enjoyed it
5550148 Well, I certainly did! Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us before this little adventure is over!
Ah shit! Damn you Applejack for rejecting Rainbow Dash! Gotta read more of this lol
Chapter 8 reminds me of this song (It is like Rainbow Dash singing it only the words are I love a girl named Applejack) :
Well damn that is a badass way to save everyone !
Twilight to the rescue mother buckers and don't you forget it! She saved all yur asses expect for that Cloudjumper dude...? Actually let the character die or not be mentioned I hated his character either way But on another note lovin' the story so far must see more
5550533 That what was gonna happen? That AJ and Dash would be eaten by something, or rescued?
5551782 Um...I don't know?
5553132 Well, ain't we a coupla smart ones?
