Aftermath...
Ugh, my head hurts... were the first thoughts in Rainbow Dash's mind when she began to come to. She just laid in the bed that she was in, reluctant to open her eyes. She couldn't, however, resist opening her eyes when she heard a door creak open. Opening her eyes slightly, she saw that the door had been open by her friend Applejack.
"App-Apples, c-come here." She said weakly. Even though her injuries were minor, it didn't stop her from feeling like she had just hit a train. Shocked by her friend talking, Applejack rushed over to her friend's side.
"Whaddaya need sugarcube?" Applejack asked.
"I just wanted to say thanks, for taking me in here. That and I'm hungry." She said with a short giggle.
"Well ain't no problem, just sit tight and I'll be right back." Applejack said smiling, and walked of to go cook a meal for her hungry friend. Hmmm, what to do now? Rainbow Dash thought while she was sitting there. I'm still pretty tired, and I don't think Applejack would get mad at me if I sleep some more.
She laid back, and shut her eyes. She felt the warmth of the blanket over her, and began to feel content. Then she was asleep...
Getting up from a tree that she had been perched on, Rainbow Dash took off into the sky. She had promised that she would visit Twilight to help her out. Flying through the sky, Dash felt that normal feeling of the air rushing past her coat. She began to execute some of her favorite moves, like somersaults and loop-de-loops. Once she had her fill of flying, she decided it was time to go to the library to help out Twilight.
Landing in the front of the library, Dash took a second to let her heart rate readjust from her flying. She knocked on the door and waited for it to be answered. Spike answered with a small smile, then turned to walk back to where he was placing some books in a few boxes. "Hey Spike." She said.
"Hey Dash, Twilight's up stairs." He replied and went back to work. She walked up to the second story of the Library, and looked around for Twilight. It was the attic of the Library, it was dark and was a little bit humid. Some noise came from some boxes placed on top of each other in the corner of the room.
"Hey Twilight, whatcha doing?" Rainbow Dash asked as she approached the pile of boxes. She walked around to find Twilight sitting next to a few open boxes, with some books strewn all around her. She was reading some of the book titles to herself.
"Oh, hello Rainbow Dash. Could you go downstairs and help spike out with putting some of the books on this list in those boxes?" She asked as Dash came around the corner.
"Uh...sure thing." She had passed because she wanted to ask her something, but couldn't quite remember it. She decided that it probably wasn't too important if she had forgotten it. She turned around and walked out of the attic. She continued down the stairs, and looked at the list. 'What was it that I wanted to ask her?' she thought to herself.
After thinking about it hard enough, it finally hit her. She stopped right where she was working and stared blankly ahead. 'I-it is that...' She thought to herself. "Uhh, Dash?" Spike said. Snapping out of her small daze, she looked at the little dragon that was now standing in front of her.
"Oh, sorry Spike. I just had remembered something that I should have done earlier." Rainbow Dash said to him.
"It's alright, don't worry about it. We're pretty much done here, it's just a few things on the last shelf. You should go tell Twilight that your done." Spike suggested.
"Yeah, sounds like a good idea." She said. She then turned and began to walk towards the stairs. Once she had climbed to the top, she opened the door to see Twilight walking towards it. "Hey, Twilight, can I talk to you for a second?" She asked.
"Sure, what's up Dash?" Twilight asked.
"I need you to promise me that you won't tell anypony about this at all. And I mean anypony." She said.
"I Pinkie Pie Promise. Now what's up?" Twilight asked.
"Well, yesterday I had this dream about Applejack..." Rainbow Dash started.
"It's normal to have dreams with your friends in them." Twilight said.
"Yeah, but it wasn't a 'normal' dream. I ended up k-..." She stopped where she was, she didn't want to say anything else. But she wanted to tell Twilight. She sat down and began to choke back tears. Twilight ran up to her.
"What's wrong, what happened in this dream?" She asked.
"I-I'm so confuse, I don't know w-what to do..." Was all Rainbow Dash was able to mutter out before beginning to cry.
"What's confusing you, what happened with Applejack?" Twilight asked, she was beginning to worry.
"I-I, well w-we ended...up, w-we...I kissed Applejack in my dream..." Rainbow Dash finally said. Twilight looked like she had just seen Celestia overthrown, or worse killed. She was baffled, she had no idea on what to say.
The only sounds that were coming from the attic were that of Rainbow Dash's hushed crying. "Dash listen," Twilight began "there's no need for you to be crying. You may be confused about what had happened, but your heart isn't. Tell me how you felt about this dream."
"W-well, it all started when I had arrived at Sweet Apple Acres to help Apples like I told her I would..." She said, and began to explain the entire scenario to Twilight. She stopped crying and waited for Twilight's response.
"So, you felt that kind of fuzzy feeling about her? The one when you think about them?" Twilight asked.
"Yes, and I'm afraid it will ruin our friendship Twilight." Rainbow Dash said like she was really scared.
"Well what you need to do is t-" Twilight began but was cut off by another voice.
"Rainbow Dash! RAINBOW DASH!" The voice called out.
Jolting up, Rainbow Dash began to look around frantically. She began to calm down when found out that she was in the same room that she was before. The pony that had been calling out to her was Applejack. "'Bout time you woke up lazy-bones." Applejack said jokingly.
"Hehe, yeah I guess." Rainbow Dash said, she began to blush a little bit from what she was beginning to realize was the truth.
"Were you having some sort of bad dream or something sugarcube?" Applejack asked.
Taking a moment to respond, Rainbow Dash said "What? Oh, no not really. Just your normal cool dreams." She was beginning to get nervous about the subject. Applejack, picking up the vibes that Rainbow Dash was giving off, abandoned the questions. She grabbed the plate she had set on the table that was in the room and brought it over to her friend.
Sitting up, Applejack sat the plate in Rainbow Dash's lap. Looking down at the food, Rainbow Dash said "Thanks, it looks good." and then began to dig in. Once she was done, she sat the plate aside and looked over at Applejack. She felt just as nervous, but it wasn't a bad thing to her anymore. She felt as though she belonged there.
"What's up sugarcube?" Applejack asked, noticing that Rainbow Dash had been staring at her.
Caught off guard, she thought of something fast "Just remembering how I bet to beat you in the Running of the Leaves." She finally said, laughing a little.
"Well if you keep yourself into accidents like this, you won't be participating in it this year." Applejack said.
"Anyways, I feel good enough to get up." Rainbow Dash said.
"Alright, don't push your self too hard hun." She replied. Rainbow Dash nodded and got up. She lowered herself off the bed onto her hind legs and then lowered herself onto her front legs also. She then straighten herself out, and stood up straight. She felt no fatigue other than that of her just waking up from a frantic sleep.
"See, good as new." Rainbow Dash said "Nothing can keep me grounded for too long."
"I see that sugarcube, well seeing as though your fit enough to get up I don't need to keep ya'll here." Applejack said.
"Well there's gotta be something I can do for you, seeing as though I owe you for a tree and a meal." She said laughing.
"We could always use an extra hand around here." Applejack agreed.
"Then it's settled, I'll come by later and see what you need me to do." Rainbow Dash said.
"Alright. I'm gonna clean up this room, so I guess see ya Dashie." Applejack said. Dashie It hit her, she began to blush very heard. Something about that nickname made her feel weird. She turned and walked towards the door so Applejack couldn't see her blush.
"Later Applejack, be back in a little while." Rainbow Dash said, half-way out of the room.
"I'll be waiting..." Applejack said. Oh you have noooo idea apples...Rainbow Dash thought before walking out of the house...
[Author's Notes]
Just a quick couple things. First I just wanted to take this time to thank you for reading any of my stories, when I see my Yahoo! filled up with E-mails from FF about reviews and Story+'s it makes me probably one of the happiest people in the world. Secondly a very bad tragic thing has happen to me recently. The last image of my laptop got corrupt, so I lost all of my data for any of the stories I was writing or thinking about writing D: . Anyways, I got a new image of XP on the laptop, and I have it running without using up all of it's space for anything useless. Thirdly, sorry if I don't update very fast. It's not that I don't have the time, it's that I don't have the motivation most of the time. Along with number 3, the last thing I'd like to say is some words of advice for you as readers. We, as writers, enjoy when someone catches our mistakes, when someone writes reviews, sends messages referring to our stories, or anything else that is positive. It helps me to be motivated to write more, but its not like I'm depending on you to write a review so I have to motivation to write the next chapter. No it just makes us feel better as writers. Anyways, thank you for reading the story and this long a** paragraph about me rambling on xD Have a very great day, and I hope this made you feel better.
