AppleDash Group Collab

Twisted - HapHazred

The sounds of ponies bustling about the hospital soaked up any conversation that might have been. Both mares sat in silence, one adjusting her recently applied and uncomfortable cast, the other fiddling with her forehoof, unsure of what to say and how to say it. Applejack ran her hoof through her mane, her recent discovery still fresh in her mind.

"So," she said, her voice barely audible over the din of the hospital.

Rainbow Dash pursed her lips.

"Yeah."

"I'm real sorry," Applejack said.

"You said so," Rainbow muttered. "About twenty times."

"Well, I am."

Rainbow sighed. "AJ, can we just... not?"

"But I don't—"

"I mean, what the hay made you think I could do that?!"

"Well..." Applejack began, looking away, "You're usually real bendy, and there was that time ya did that leg trick, an' how you're always braggin' you're flexible in all the right ways and a couple o' wrong ways too..."

"So you thought you'd cripple me for a week?"

"I swear, I didn't know they didn't go that way!"

"Wings face a certain way for a reason, AJ!"

"I figured they were like tails!"

"Tails don't have bones!" Rainbow exclaimed, waving her forelegs about her head. "I know you like to try new things, but c'mon, at least warn me first! Now I can't do my job for a week until my wing resets."

Applejack went quiet, and peered at her hooves. Rainbow breathed in, and looked away down the corridor.

A moment passed.

"I liked what you did with my ears, though," Rainbow admitted. "That was new."

Applejack brightened. "I'd been meanin' to try that one."

"It was cool. I also didn't expect the honey to work out that well either."

"Thanks! I got that one from one o' Rarity's magazines."

"It was a good one. We should do it again sometime."

Rainbow's shoulders sagged.

"So, uh, sorry I yelled. I just needed to let off some steam."

"It's okay. I'm sorry I twisted your wing back to front." Applejack chuckled. "I guess we'll laugh about it sometime down the line, eh?"

Rainbow's expression darkened. "No we won't."

"Ah. Uh, okay, we won't."

"Also, we're using a safety word from now on," Rainbow added. "I'd have suggested 'oh, please no, stop, dear Celestia no', but apparently, you don't respond well to that. We should use something clearer and less ambiguous. Like, I dunno, 'banana'."

I want to laugh but...awkward.

Scare Pewdiepie, anyone?
