Space - Tyro

“So...”

“Hmph!”

“Aw come on A.J!”

“I ain’t speakin’ to you!”

Rainbow sighed as Applejack continued to sit on the ground, forelegs crossed. For a pony who ran an entire farm, she could be surprisingly immature at times.

Not that Dash was any better...

“Look, I said I was sorry! I can’t make things better if we don’t talk it out!” Dash stared at the farm pony straight in the face. She was practically begging at this point. So uncool, but what choice did she have?

“Apologisin’ ain’t enough! I just want some space right now!” Applejack spat back, and promptly turned to face in the other direction. Rainbow slammed her head into the ground in frustration. She never liked ‘talking about feelings’, but she didn’t like dragging things out either. She just wanted this to be over.

“What’s the point in having ‘space’?” She asked Applejack’s back. “That’s not gonna fix this problem any quicker! We may as well hash it out, it’s not like we’re going anywhere!”

Applejack growled. “You’re right about us not goin’ anywhere, but I don’t feel like talkin’ neither! So keep your yap shut and gimme some time!”

“F-fine!” Stung by the harshness of Applejack’s words, Rainbow retreated a little. She lay belly down in the dust and buried her muzzle into her forelegs. She totally wasn’t sniffling or anything! She just...had a stuffy nose! From all the...dust...

After a few moments she heard a sigh. She heard the sound of another pony getting to their feet and felt a soft, warm nose nuzzle against her.

“I’m sorry Sugarcube.” Applejack whispered as soothingly as possible. “I didn’t mean to snap at ya like that. And I guess you’re right, maybe takin’ space instead o’ talkin’ ain’t such a wise idea. I guess I ain’t so quick to change emotions like you are.”

Rainbow perked up. “Did you just admit I was right about something? And that I’m faster than you at something?” She grinned slyly.

Applejack cuffed her lightly. “That don’t mean I ain’t still mad at you! It’s all your fault we’re in this mess!”

Rainbow rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. “I know, I know. I’m sorry. Again. I really didn’t think Princess Celestia would get so mad about some cake! I guess someponies can’t take a prank, huh?”

Applejack huffed. “I still don’t see why I got sent here too. Weren’t my fault...”

“Well...it’s kind of your fault for not stopping me...”

“Excuse me?”

“Well you’re supposed to be the responsible one. Really, this is all because of you.”

“...”

“Hehe...umm...joking?”

Rainbow tried to break the tension with a small kiss to Applejack’s cheek. Mercifully it seemed to calm the mare down a little. Rainbow looked up into space.

“So how long do you think the Princess is gonna keep us up here?”

Applejack looked around the surface of the moon. “Better not be too long. I mean it’s a nice place and all...”

“But?”

“It ain’t got no atmosphere.”

Applejack chuckled.

Rainbow didn’t.
