Applejack had a crazy dream. Something happened in it that she's sure she would never do, but how should she deal with a dream where she's intimate with one of her best friends?
This story is based off of the EG Holiday comic from 2014. Go read it if you haven't yet. It's really good.
Sex tag for PG-13 cuddles ;D

Interesting story. Not enough Sunset/Applejack type stories.

I felt the same way the whole time I was writing this :D
How do I read the comic, exactly?
the EG holiday comic is not good at all its just mean spirited and wrote the rainbooms massively out of character

Well, the comic is from 2014.
I ran across it last year online somewhere.
Just look up Equestria Girls Holiday comic special and I'm sure you'll find something. :D

Yes. The Rainbooms were written completely out of character. They all jumped to conclusions way faster than they ever actually would.
BUT, I think the way Sunset was written in that comic was spot on. Yes the situation is one that would probably never happen, but her reaction to it was AMAZING. It was exactly the reaction I would imagine for Sunset between Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games.

I read the comic. It sounded like a friendship report
9030932
It does a bit. that's true :D
9030794
fair but if you have to write characters out of character to get that then your doing it wrong
you could still get plenty of drama with every one but the rainbooms turning on her

It could have still been plenty dramatic with the girls staying on Sunset's side, sure. But that wouldn't have completely isolated Sunset. The isolation was needed, I think.
But after reading it again, the pacing was really way too fast for any real drama to actually develop, anyway.

why was the isolation needed why torture a character like that why put sunset so far into a state of depression
all it is is cruel
9032044
Well, the isolation tests Sunset. How much has she really changed? Will she revert back to her old ways?
How will she react to her friendship being taken away, now that she's had a taste of it?
It may be a little bit cruel, but that's the amazing thing about stories. We can explore the human character within this realm without actually hurting anyone. A little bit of pain for a fictional character allows us to see into ourselves just a little bit and, hopefully, become better people.

speaking as a person who was bullied and does suffer depression
no just no
But, Applejack isn't a human in it!
9054345
That's okay. It still works.
No, I know. But when I saw this one....the MOOD of it was so perfect, I had to use it.
Good story. Never really seen SunJack in this site. A word of advice though, change the image to an EG one. A lot of people don't bother reading the tags and decide to read a story based on the image.
A D in science would have gotten even the best player in my old high school benched until it became a C or better.
9408375
Mine too.
Good thing it was only a D on her test and not the class ;)
This was a bit... messy. It suffered a lot from being a bunch of talking heads, and some of the conversations felt lackluster. Especially Sunset's response to Applejack's dream at the end. Just... weird.
I'm tilted.
9515525
Yeah...I've been becoming more aware of issues in this story over time.
Would you care to expand on why exactly you're tilted?
Like I said in my author's notes, I'm always looking to improve.

I'm a coach. Practicing without the coach is both a disaster waiting to happen and the sign of a pretty terrible coach.
9516041
You know, I read that and I feel a little bit like an idiot. Of course practicing without a coach is a bad idea.
I dunno. I based the idea on what I saw in the first EG movie. Dash was out in the field practicing alone. I've never seen any hint of a coach in that scene. Though, thinking about it now, her being completely alone perhaps means that there was no practice being held and she was just out there for fun.

It's alright. It happens to the best of us. Don't feel too much like an idiot.
Bingo.
Very sweet:-)
9748954
sweet. Applejack likes Sunset?
Hahaha. You took this from that Stanley Ipkiss and Milo scene, right?
Welp, funny The Mask reference.
great work on story

You know, I probably did it subconsciously. Lord knows I've watch that movie a million times. And I still laugh
