AppleDash Group Collab

Swing - bahatumay

It was an old swing. The wooden seat had been replaced twice, and the ropes that held it up had been replaced three times and even now were frayed and up for replacement again.

Still, Applejack couldn't help but smile as she slowly drifted back and forth. Mac used to push her on this swing, and she used to push Apple Bloom in turn when she was bigger. Now, though, all she had were memories. She felt the gentle breeze blow through her mane and she closed her eyes and just breathed.

She didn't open her eyes as the sound of wingbeats sounded behind her, or when the pony spoke.

“Aren't you a little old for this?” Rainbow asked teasingly.

“Never too old for some fun,” Applejack responded. “Lots of good memories around here. Used to pretend Ah could fly when Mac pushed me. Good times, Rainbow; good times.”

“And lots of good memories to be made, right?” Rainbow asked, giving Applejack a little nudge as she drifted back.

Applejack smiled. “'Course there are,” she said. “You up for pushing?”

“I'll give you the ride of your life,” Rainbow promised as she reared up to push Applejack.

Applejack rose higher and higher as Rainbow Dash pushed her. Eventually, Rainbow had to get airborne just to be able to reach her and keep pushing.

Applejack couldn't help but laugh as she flew through the air. Simple as it may have been, it was great fun all the same.

“Hey, Applejack!”

“What?”

“Let go next time!”

“What?”

“Let go!”

Applejack hesitated briefly, but when she hit the apex of her next swing, she closed her eyes and let go.

Almost instantly, she felt the presence of another. Rainbow Dash had flown underneath her, catching her, and for a short moment, the two glided, one upside down and one atop the other.

“You really wanna fly?” Rainbow whispered. “I'll show you flying.”

“What?” Applejack called. She hadn't heard Rainbow's words over the wind.

Rainbow laughed and kicked Applejack away, flipping in the air and letting her land on her back. “Hold on tight!”

Very sweet and funny. I was a bit unclear on their positions when AJ let go, but it doesn't bother me overly.
