Anything Could Happen
...
It was immediate-upon crawling under the warm covers, scooting closer toward a certain sleeping orange earth pony-to Rainbow Dash that her girlfriend wasn't actually sleeping.
"You're not really sleeping, are you?" she sighed in question, staring plainly at the apparent sleeping face a few inches from her own.
Applejack's eyelids quickly fluttered open. "What do you think?" she quipped, her thick southern accent covered with sarcasm.
Rainbow heaved another sigh. "Why are you still awake? It's like three in the morning..."
"...you went out again..."
"Yeah, so?" Rainbow wasn't sure what the big deal was with her late night flights. "You know how much I help you around the farm. I barely have time to fly anymore... The only time I can work my wings out is at night... Not that I have a problem with staying up late."
"Well, I do," Applejack retorted, flipping over on her side to face away from the blue pegasus lying beside her. She felt a comforting hoof rest against her back.
"But why?" Rainbow asked, sitting up. "It's not like I'm going to get hurt or anything."
"That's exactly my problem," the farm pony replied stubbornly, still not moving from her current position. "You leave every night, come back hours later, and I stay up waiting for you... making sure you come back."
"But I do come back," the pegasus reminded the earth pony, in a strange soft tone unlike her own. "Every time."
Slowly, Applejack sat up, turning to face her girlfriend with worried emerald eyes. "But what if you don't come back? I'm scared that one of these mornin's I'll wake up and you won't be there."
"...Yeah... but why exactly? It's not like I'm going to leave you."
"...I'm not scared that you'll leave," Applejack explained. "I'm scared that something will happen to you."
"You're scared something will happen to me?" Rainbow blinked, stunned by this revelation. "Me? The toughest pegasus in all of Equestria?"
Applejack couldn't help the smile that overcame her features at Rainbow's typical boastful attitude. "No need to get cocky, sugar cube. What I meant is that anything could happen."
"Yeah, well..." the pegasus leaned forward, nuzzling her girlfriend in a reassuring manner. "...nothing is going to happen to me. I promise."
At that, Applejack smirked, nipping Rainbow Dash's ear suggestively. "I might just hold ya to that."
A/N: just a random fluff drabble for one of my other favorite MLP pairings, AppleDash. Here Rainbow and Applejack are dating, and RD is living with AJ on Sweet Apple Acres, helping around the farm, unable to fly most days. So she goes out late at night to exercise her wings, much to the dismay of AJ, who doesn't like the idea of RD being out that late.
Yup. Random and cute and fluffy, because my last one-shot was to angsty, and I wanted to write a fluff drabble for AppleDash. So here ya go. ;P
Please review if you liked it! :)
