2: damned if you do

Applejack was in the fields working once again. It hurt when she was bucking apples, but she got used to it. The gray stallions came back on applejack's first day working. "BIG MAC! THEY'RE BACK!" Yelled applejack. Mac ran to her and gave the stallions a soul crushing stare. The gray ponies backed off.

"All we ask is that you consider our offer."

"Ok fine... Im considering."

"Great-"

"And mah answer is no."

"Why not, this is a great offer."

"Ah dont care, this land has been in mah family for generations, and it aint leavin now."

"Applejack we dont want things to go like they did with our last encounter."

"Mac, get em." Big mac charged the ponies, ramming one of them in the neck. Then he turned and punched the other in the face. Mac looked at the ponies with the same stare as before. They just got up and ran, out of sweet apple acres and out of ponyville. "Thanks mac, those guys have been a pain in my ass for a while now. Its no problem is it?"

"Nope." They finished their work later than normal due to the fact that applejack was still recovering. At about nine pm they decided to head inside, when they got to the house, granny smith and applebloom were asleep, and rainbow dash was waiting outside.

"Mac, you can go on in, i gota see what rainbow dash wants." Applejack trotted over the blue mare and asked what was up.

"I need to show you something." And without another word, rainbow dash scooped applejack off the ground an into the air.

"Damn it rainbow, you know im scared 'a hights!" Rainbiw dash kept flying.

"Dont worry, ive got you. This is gona be really cool." Applejack closed her eyes tight and held on for dear life. When they landed, they were not on solid ground. Applejack opened her eyes to see her five best friends next to her at rainbow dash's house in the clouds. "Cmon guys, i dont want to miss this." The mane six walked up the roof of the mansion, and lied down on the soft clouds.

"Alright girls, the solar refraction should start in just a minute." Twilight said.

"Solar wha?" Applejack asked, still unknowing of why they were at rainbow's house.

"Every hundred years, equestria lines up with the sun and the moon in just the right way, causing the light in the air to refract, making an amazing light show." They all looked up at the stars, they reminded rainbow dash of applejack's eyes, and the shooting star that passed reminded applejack of rainbow's long flowing mane. It was that moment that they both relized they were in love.

"Applejack." Rainbow whispered to her friend."

"Yeah dash?"

"Cmere, to the other side of the roof." They both snuck off to the far side of the roof to talk. "There is something i need to tell you.

"Me too." They both looked at each other, lost in the moment. All of the sudden, she sky lit up with brilliant red, stunning blue, amazing green, beaitiful pink, and just about every other color that exsisted. The two mares both got the electricity in their chests, an now, they knew what it meant. They both leaned in and closed their eyes. It was perfect, until, when their lips were once again centemeters away, and twilight walked to their side of the roof.

"Guys cmon, your missing the light show." She called to them. Rainbow dash and and applejack pulled away. Rainbow dash sighed as she stood up and helped applejack to her hooves. They walked over to the others and sat down to watch.

The next morning, applejack woke up on rainbow dash's couch. Dash said that it was too dark to go home alone and that she should sleep over. The others had gotten a ride, but applejack had no warning of the event. She was woken by a loud scream. It was rainbow dash yelling at her to get up.

"Applejack, hello? Mayby i should check her pulse." Just then applejack's eyes opened. "Oh, your awake."

"Yeah, and a simple tap on my shoulder would have also gotten the job done."

"Just wanted to thorough." They ate breakfast together and then went up to rainbow dash's room. They crawled onto the bed and layednext to each other. Applejack put a hoof on rainbow's flank as they both leaned in. There was nopony else in the house, and the doors were locked. Just as their lips were once again centemeters away, pinkie pie's voice rang out through the house.

"APPLEJACK! RAINBOW DASH!" They both pulled back and sat up. Pinkie pie was at the window, and she appeared to be standing up, even though they were on the third floor.

"What do you want pinkie?"

"Celestia called us to canterlot, we have to go NOW!"

"Alright pinkie, chill out, were coming." Five minutes later the mane six were in a carriage, riding to canterlot. What ever celestia needed them for, it was important.
