Today is the day
"Applejack…." Said, Rainbowdash.
"Yeah, sugarcube?"
"There's something I've always wanted to tell you, but I've never had the courage to tell you until now. Through everything that we've gone through in our lives together, you've always been the one to be there for me the most out of anyone. You gave me comfort when I was feeling sad…you were here for me when the Wonderbolts tryouts didn't go so well…What I mean is that no pony has ever cared about me like you do Applejack..And…well...I…I love you Applejack…and I have for a while."
Applejack stood there motionless, she appeared frozen. Rainbowdash stood uncomfortably awaiting a response. Without a word, Applejack turned around began to walk away.
"Wait! Applejack!" said Rainbowdash
The blonde manned pony kept walking, and left Rainbowdash alone and heartbroken where she stood. Rainbowdash began to sob quietly to herself. The pony she had fallen in love with, left her without even a single word. Rainbowdash felt something strange. She stopped crying and wiped her tears away, only to find that the once apple filled farm had turned into a huge white space. Rainbowdash looked around in confusion as she tried to piece together where she was. Suddenly, a big gaping hole appeared above her head and there was a projection of a pony on the ground face down looking battered and beaten. Upon further investigation, Rainbowdash could recognize that golden mane anywhere. It was Applejack. In an instant, Rainbowdash took to flight.
"Applejack! Hold on! I'm coming!"
But no matter how fast she flew the projection only got further and further away. Rainbowdash was flying her absolute fastest. Through all the strain she was putting on her wings, one of them locked up, and she began to fall back down into an endless white abyss. She struggled to reopen her wing but it was no use. As what looked to be the bottom got closer, Rainbowdash began to cry again, feeling that her untimely death was upon her. With the bottom only inches away she closed her eyes and not a second later she hit the ground.
"Ahhhhh!" screamed Rainbowdash as she bolted forward from her bed in an upright position.
"It was….just a dream?" The cyan Pegasus slowly dropped her head back onto her pillow and began to weep.
"How am I going to tell her?...I don't want her to hate me…and I don't want to ruin our friendship, but I can't take this anymore…I've got to tell her how I feel and show her how much she means to me…I just hope she feels the same about me. Today is the day. When we're all together today I'll find the perfect moment to pull her aside and let her know my true feelings…*sigh* easier said than done…"
And with that, Rainbowdash drifted back off to sleep so she could have her full energy for the day ahead. Applejack had planned a friendly get together with all of her best friends. She even convinced Rarity to come on out. The day was going to be a fun day full of games and laughter, but how much fun would Rainbowdash be having with her dilemma instilled in her mind?
