Chapter 1
The fall chill of the evening air tickled Applejack’s cheeks as she carried the last of the farm supplies into the work shed at the side of the house. It was around five, six maybe, she couldn’t tell. She hated daylight savings time because it made her work days shorter. And while Mac and Applebloom appreciated the enforced break time, it annoyed Applejack. She liked to keep working well into the night.
That was mostly why spring and summer were her favorite seasons. Late work nights, warm evenings, heck, sometimes on a clear night she could see the beautiful stars. She would lay out on the porch with a cold beer after a hard day’s work and watch them dance in the sky as if they were performing personally for her.
She thought about doing that anyway tonight, but quickly let the thought go as another gust of cold are swirled in her face. God, she hated the late fall. Putting a heavy tool box in a far corner of the shed, Applejack pushed her Stetson up with the forearm of her right arm, wiping some sweat that has accumulated under the brow. She then dusted the dirt off of her hands and stretched, smiling as she heard her bones crack. Turning out the light and closing the shed door, Applejack adjusted her hat and turned to make her way into the house.
As she was beginning to walk the distance from the shed into the house, a pair of mystery hands grabbed her from behind. “What the-” She quickly swerved out of the stranger's grip and pinned them against the door of the shed. The movement caused the motion sensored outside light to flicker on, revealing the identity of the obscured groper.
“Rainbow Dash!” AJ growled, agitated. She pushed the equal weighted girl against the shed again and frowned at her cocky smirk.
“Hey, babe.” Rainbow’s grin deepened, and even under the now dimming glow of the shed’s light Applejack could see the rainbow haired girl was laughing at her. Rainbow pulled up the collar of AJ’s flannel playfully.
“Don’t call me that! An’ what the heck ya doin’ here at this time a’ night?!” Applejack demanded, swatting her roamful hands away. She moved to push other girl again but found that she wasn’t in front of her anymore. Recovering from her blunder, Applejack’s eyes scanned around her. It was too dark to go looking for her in the orchard, and the shed light only covered about two feet in front of her.
Cautiously, Applejack stepped away from the shack and tentatively inched towards the house. If Dash wasn’t going to explain why she was she was sneaking around trying to scare her, she wasn’t sticking around to find out the answer.
The minute her boot made contact with the dirt in front of her, two hands latched onto her shoulders. “Jumping Jehoshaphat!” She shrieked as she spun around to see that no one was behind her. “You little vermin! Ah may not be able ta see you now, but when Ah find ya, Ah’m gonna beat ya senseless!” She shouted to the darkness. Applejack whipped her head around in every direction, her fists clenched in agitation.
Her anger dissipated when nothing came out of the shadows, though she was beginning to think Rainbow Dash was doing this just for fun. “Come out, ya coward!” She barked.
Rainbow Dash didn’t come out. Instead she put her arms around her friends waist again, causing her to jump again. This time, before Dash could slip away again, Applejack swiveled for a second time, but got a hold of Dash’s hoodie in the process. “You’ve got some nerve!” She shouted, shaking her. She wasn’t trying to make the girl dizzy at all, it was more like wiping the smug look off her face.
“What are ever are you talking about Jackie?” Rainbow Dash asked in a mock transatlantic accent that sounded closer to a bad impression of Rarity than a pretentious girl from Canterlot. Actually, when Applejack really thought about it, Rarity herself wasn’t far off from being one.
“Y’know exactly what Ah’m talking about! You can’t just come on ta people’s land, and scare the bejebus out of them!” Applejack scrunched up her shirt even more, pulling her closer to her. The smirk on the athlete’s face never faltered much to Applejack’s annoyance.
“Who says I can’t? Besides you didn’t look like you were busy.” Rainbow responded, the condescending smirk still plastered on her face. Applejack contemplated punching her in the mouth but gave up the idea. It was the day before Thanksgiving, and as much as she wanted to, she didn’t feel like having to explain herself to the others when they showed up at Twilight’s for dinner that night.
Rainbow noticed the thoughtful look on her face and chuckled. “Thinkin’ about me naked, baby?” She asked, snapping Applejack out of her trance.
“Stop callin’ me baby! An’ you wish!” The farm girl responded, shaking her some more. Rainbow’s head lolled but the smirk was still on her stupid face. Applejack’s anger thickened while her patience was running thin. “Ah want to hurt you so bad.” She grumbled.
“Yeah, I bet you do.” Dash winked sensually, causing Applejack to blush. She was almost thankful that they weren’t near any light source because she knew the other girl would use her beet red expression as ammo against her.
“Would ya stop with the innuendos?!” She demanded. She couldn’t even see how Rainbow could be so lewd with her. Before, she would never make such lascivious comments. But recently, she was met with an onslaught of them. It wasn’t such a bad thing, but after awhile they were accompanied with inappropriate touching, and Applejack didn’t care, friend or not, no one was going to to touch her that way. But Rainbow, being the persistent little pest she was, kept going with them. It was really starting to piss Applejack off.
“Who says I wanna stop? What if I don’t stop? Whatcha gonna do about it, huh?” Rainbow Dash teased. The agitating smirk was still in place. Applejack was feeling her tiredness of the day’s work slipping over her, her body suddenly remembering that she had worked from dawn until dark. She didn’t have enough energy to be dealing with this anymore.
She let Rainbow go, pushing her away from her. Rainbow snorted. “That’s what you’re gonna do? C’mon, I thought-” Before Rainbow could even finish her sentence Applejack’s grip was back on her hoodie and her lips were on hers. The forceful gesture surprised Rainbow, which was what Applejack was hoping for.
She hungrily kissed her, nipping Dash’s bottom lip a few times. Rainbow encircled her arms around Applejack’s neck, pulling her closer towards her. So close in fact, that their chests were pressed against each other. Rainbow moaned as Applejack’s tongue entered her mouth. The late fall air warming around them as they kissed, body heat equally rising. The kiss was rough and hard, much like the work Applejack has just gotten done doing. Rainbow was too much in heaven to even question the farm girl's motives.
The cocky smirk seemed to have transferred from one girl to the other, because Applejack was as smug as ever. “Huh. Ah never pegged ya as the submissive one.” She teased, pulling away much to the rainbow haired girl’s chagrin.
Rainbow Dash growled, pulling her closer. “Shut up and kiss me, you little shit.” She responded. Their lips met again, even more feverently this time. Applejack grew bolder, slipping a hand under Rainbow’s shirt, making contact with her smooth stomach. The contrast between the other girls warm tummy and her cold hand sent electric waves through her. Her hand inched upwards, her nimble fingers wrapping around Dash’s breast.
Dash moaned again, and Applejack smirked again. She pulled away for the second time, a string of saliva accompanying her. She laughed.
Rainbow Dash gave her a confused look, taking labored breaths. “What’s so funny?” She asked as the farm girl chuckled to herself.
“Be thankful.”
“What?”
“Be thankful for that, because that’s all yer gonna get. Happy Thanksgiving.” Applejack responded. She smirked again, then tipped her hat to the girl. After that she turned on her heel and began her walk at last into the house.
“Oye, Applejack! Seriously what was that?” Rainbow Dash called after her.
Applejack ignored her, just grinned even more as she got closer and closer to the side of the house. That would keep Rainbow questioning and off her tail for a while.
“Applejack! AJ! I’m serious!”
She almost turned around at the second shout, but kept walking. Applejack heard footsteps behind her. She knew Dash was following her. She broke into a light jog and made it to the porch before Dash could catch up to her. As she was climbing the steps, a hand reached out and pulled her back down.
Her slight movement caused the porch light to come on, illuminating Rainbow’s mischievous expression. Applejack didn’t even pull away. Dash’s toothy grin expanded, and she laughed, pulling Applejack close.
“Thanksgiving may be tomorrow, but tonight I’m about to have me a feast.”
