The Girl Behind the Books

by TheLadyTwilight

Interlude

It was Saturday morning, nine days after I first saw Twilight.

Me and AJ had been lazing around at Sweet Apple Acres, watching tv in the den and eating some sort of apple flavoured cereal, when Twilight was brought into the conversation by Applejack.

"Have you talked to that girl recently?" Applejack asked, shoving a spoon full of apple flakes in her mouth. I was caught off guard to say the least, since all other times he talked to Twilight, AJ hadn't been with me.

"If you mean Twilight, then yeah, we've said hi while passing in the hallways a few times...why?" I replied rather softly, hoping I chose the right response. I didn't want Applejack rambling on about her all day.

AJ seemed to ignore my question and asked me one instead. "How's yer' guys's relationship goin'?"

At this, I paused, setting my spoon down inside the bowl. I turned to look at her. Why in hell would she ask me that? Bitch. "There is no relationship." I growled forcefully, hoping to end this ASAP. It certainly wasn't going anywhere good. "We aren't even friends. Barely acquaintances. Why are we even talking about her?" I asked, taking hold of my spoon again and obnoxiously slurping some milk.

"Because," Applejack paused to finish the last bite of her breakfast. "Y'all like er', don't you?" She stood up, walked to the kitchen, and then promptly started to wash her dish in the sink. I followed in a swift pursuit, leaving the TV on.

"No way in hell I do!" I lowered my eyebrows and snarled. "I'm not gay, Applejack." She started to dry the dish as I talked, keeping on a calm mask which I had never seen before. Usually Applejack was all over with her emotions, especially anger. I was internally freaking out, but I kept on talking anyway. "I've never liked a girl, and I never will. That's like me saying that out of nowhere you were a lesbian." I crossed his arms over my chest, assuming too soon that I won our dispute.

"Now listen here, Rainbow Dash." she said, turning to face me. "That's true, that ah' ain't never once liked a girl. But if one day ah' did, ah' wouldn't punish myself for it. Neither should you." AJ set her now clean-and-dried dish in the cupboard above the kitchen sink. And then she walked away, leaving me with soapy water and some damn confused thoughts.

I like it.

You need to re-check your spelling. Badly. I mean you have incomplete words all over the place which makes it extremely hard to follow.

[Gentle Spy]

So denial, right? She's in denial over liking a girl so she denies her entire gender and associates her as a he.

"You never told him..." I said in disgust as I narrowed my eyes at Rarity.

Welp, I suppose these wasnt done on purpose, was they(what the hay, rly???)&

Boy, was this awkward.

Im not sure if i get it right, or, either way, you just messed with it.
Cant be sure. Probably, it's not as good, as it's bad, honestly.

And after finishing this, I've checked profile... ooook, let it be there anyway

Sorry man here's a taco but those damn pronouns

[PonyWrites]

I mean, I really like this but damn. I know you banged this out to flatten some writer's block but if you're going to publish, make it presentable.
Aside from the grammatical and editing errors this story has a lot of thing's going for it. I like Rainbow's point of view, and you've nailed the dialogue for the characters, which is harder than it sounds. Good job please continue?

I need more of this pair. Even an infinite amount is not enough.
