Applejack and Rainbow Dash head into the Everfree forest to visit Zecora. They get sidetracked along the way and end up deeper in the forest, taking a wrong turn into Timberwolf territory.
I'm trying something new and writing this in Applejack's voice/P.O.V...so...apologies if it comes out wonky. I'm not used to doing first-person types of fiction.
Semi inspired by this pic here: http://johnjoseco.deviantart.com/art/Protecting-the-Ones-You-Love-202452478 but the author hasn't responded to my inquiry about using it as a thumbnail, so I'm not. ^.^
Also, Gore tag is gone after some thought, since the attacks aren't really gore-ish. I'm leaving it Mature just to be safe, though.
Chapters (1)
Poor, impulsive Rainbow Dash. At least she got back in time to save Applejack. Good story, would read again

Aw, thank you!
It's nice to see Rainbow coming to Applejack's rescue for once! The perspective was also a nice change. I think I've only ever read one AppleDash story that was told by Applejack in first person. A little cliché and short, but those can be forgiven. I do wonder whatever happened during the rescue, though. It's almost not fair the way you left that hanging. :P

Yeah, was kind-of going for a bit of a flip-side to my first AppleDash fic. It would have been a lot longer if I'd used a different perspective. I kept it short for a few reasons...I wasn't sure how many people would like reading something long in Applejack's voice; long for the sake of being long can detract from the story; and lastly, I was figuring in Applejack's state she probably wasn't going through every last detail. I am working on getting my stories longer though, it's just getting the inspiration and writing it out. ^__^
As for the rescue...yeah, that was kinda on purpose.
Sorry. I had thought about going into detail, but I figured combining Pinkie Pie and Granny Smith would A) Give Applejack a headache, and B) Provide a laugh to the readers and let them think up their own shenanigans. 
Glad it didn't take away from the story. 
Beautiful story in it's dark way. As a Marine, I full know the thought of never leaving your friends behind.
Thank you for this story. It moved my soul.

Wow. Thank you for that, that means a lot. And thank you for your service. My dad is a Vietnam Vet.
Super D'aaaw moment.
Your story gains five mustaches.

Uh-oh, the sea serpent is gonna be jealous! >_>
That was pretty good, but it was rushed, try taking your time on something like this next time. Also, you over did the accent by a lot. You used some words like "rightly" excessively, but she never really says that at all. Also "yanno", took me about 5 min to figure out what that meant.

That tends to happen to me when I get the itch at like, 3am.
The overdone accent..well. Eeeyup, probably did. Partially on purpose, but a little bit heavier than intended. I also agree on the overuse, again, forcing something out before I zonk out, or I'll never write it. 
Some of my bigger drawbacks when doing oneshots. Sorry about that. 
Glad you did enjoy it, though. Thanks for the feedback!
887343 No problem, and if you ever need help with anything, I would be happy to proofread for you.
I don't really ask for anything in return, just want to help in anyway possible.
That was awesome. To bad it was a one shot story.

Good story, though you should probably add a 'Gore' tag
