Applejack didn't like to think about things that made her uncomfortable. Right now that was nigh on everything. Especially with regards to females. Applejack wasn't gay. She wasn't. But for some reason thinking about the female body made her warm and tingly. She couldn't even go to school the past few days. And not just because she couldn't bear to see Rainbow Dash, she couldn't bear to see any of the girls.
And now her Granny had hired someone to help make farm work a bit easier. And that woman just had to wear low cut tops and short shorts in fall. It was driving Applejack up the wall.
But she wasn't gay.
Still, she liked to watch her work. It wasn't gay to appreciate a woman's body. Girls did that all the time. Nice wrong with appreciating her round, heart-shaped ass, her long perfect legs, her perky breasts.
Applejack shook her head. She needed to act normal. That was the only way past this.
"So uh...what's your name girly?" Applejack said.
"Cherry Soda. Your Applejack right?" Cherry said.
"Yeah. How'd ya know?" Applejack said.
"Your granny told me. Plus we go to the same school. Though I'm a year ahead of you." Cherry said.
"I see." Applejack said. Though she was trying to avoid seeing certain aspects of Cherry's body.
"You know you don't have to look away." Cherry said.
"Huh?" Applejack said.
"You don't have to pretend your not looking. I wore this outfit for your benefit after all." Cherry said.
"Y-ya did what?" Applejack said.
"This outfit was for your eyes. Your hot. And my gaydar went off huge the second I saw you. I thought getting dirty and sweety with you'd be good foreplay." Cherry said.
"Listen, I-I know you presumed certain things about me but there not t-true." Applejack said
"Oh really? That's why you've been staring at my rear and checking out the girls every spare chance you can get?" Cherry said.
"W-well if you wouldn't flaunt them out there..." Applejack said.
"Oh? Is that the excuse you make to live in the closet? That other women are just whores so that's why you can't help but look?" Cherry said.
"N-no.. I-...I don't live in any damn closet. I like boys just fine." Applejack said.
"But you also like girls don't you?" Cherry said.
"N-No. I can proudly say that I don't." Applejack said.
"You know that's not true. Even if you think that it's wrong. You still want women." Cherry said.
"I...I don't." Applejack said.
"Fine. Suit yourself then. I'll just go home and pleasure myself. Shame then." Cherry said and she made to move away.
"W-wait. I still need help here. And you want your money don't you?" Applejack said. Cherry stopped moving and waited with her back turned to AJ for several long moments. She finally turned around.
"That's true...well I suppose I could. But while we work, you're going to talk to me about what has you so bent out of shape about lesbians. Well and bi girls. Homoeroticism I guess." Cherry said.
"...Fine." Applejack said.
They continued to work, and for a bit the two didn't talk.
"So then. You going to talk?" Cherry said.
"There's nothing too talk about it. I don't have any problems with...LGB-whatever." Applejack said.
"LGBT." Cherry said.
"Yeah, that. I just don't see why yall have to flaunt it and stuff. It seems kinda strange." Applejack said. She felt her cheeks flush and a sense of shame and dread spread through her body.
"Do you think it's flaunting when opposite-sex couples show intimacy to one another. Be honest." Cherry said.
"W-Well. I suppose not. But it's not just the intimacy, it's all the other stuff." Applejack said.
"Pride exists for a reason you know? To make it so we have a community to relate to each other, so we can remain visible, fight for our rights, and so that confused kids don't end up killing themselves cause of bigotry." Cherry said.
"I...I...well uh...but what about all the flirting and stuff. You and Rainbow..." Applejack said.
"We're horny teenagers. And we don't flirt with people who don't like it." Cherry said/
"What about me?" Applejack said.
"Worth a shot." Cherry said.
"Ha ha. You two you...treat it like a game. But it ain't. It's got consequences." Applejack said.
"I can't speak for Ms. Dash, but I'm prepared to deal with the consequences." Cherry said.
"Why?" Applejack said.
"Because it's fun. And because if I don't do it, then I'm just not being me. I'm a sexual person AJ, and part of that sexuality is being with other ladies." Cherry said.
"What about love?" Applejack said.
"Hasn't hit me yet. If it does I'll deal with it then." Cherry said.
"What if it never hits you because you spend too much of your time chasing pleasure?" Applejack said.
"Then it never hits me. Romantic love isn't the end all be all of human existence." Cherry said.
"What is then?" Applejack said.
"It's what you make of it. It sure has something to do with self-fulfillment, helping other people and having some sense of meaning or perspective on your life. Everything else kinda varies." Cherry said.
"I...I see." Applejack said. She didn't exactly know how to respond. Sort of the thing she needed to sit and chew on...all of this actually. Her feelings and her thoughts in general. She'd been ignoring them because they made her anxious. But something about what Cherry was saying made her feel kinda dumb for pushing those thoughts away.
"I'm sorry. For saying all those rude things. About you and the whole LBT-" Applejack said.
"LGBT." Cherry said.
"R-right. That whole thing. I really am sorry. And I don't feel badly about you. I just...dunno how to feel." Applejack said.
"I'm definitly still not gay though." Applejack said.
"Sure sure. Well, apology accepted. I think you've got a good heart under there, with some work you seem like you could be a decent person." Cherry said.
"Gee thanks." Applejack said.
"Well, considering how our meeting has gone, can you blame me? I'm giving you all the credit I can here." Cherry said.
"Y-Yeah. That's fair." Applejack said, looking sheepish.
"So, work seems about done here for today. If you ever need anymore help, or want to talk or anything call me. Pretty sure your granny has my number on the fridge." Cherry said.
"Y-yeah. I might." Applejack said.
Cherry walked away, swaying her hips a little too much by Applejacks reckoning. Still, she found it kind of hypnotizing. Her big backside moving along with her incredible hips. Applejack felt a strange urge to grab it. Spank it.
Applejack needed to go back to her room and consider her feelings. Urgently.
