THE APPLE OF MY EYE

CHAPTER 6

Pinkie pie grinned at the grumpy blue Pegasus sitting on the floor. "I win!" The pink mares smile widened, her jumping up and down slightly. "I hate losing..." Rainbowdash frowned, upset. "Hey, I have to admit, against the super duper party pony you did pretty well Rainbow!" Applejack chuckled form her window she shared with Fluttershy. "Indeed you did darling, now let's continue with the dares!" Rarity smiled, trotting away from the window, The other five followed, excited. Once all six ponies where back in their seats, they continued, it being Rainbowdash's turn to truth or dare somepony, since she had the last dare. "Alright, Applejack, since you haven't had an dare yet, truth or dare?" Rainbow turned to face the earth pony, grinning. "Dare!" Applejack answered without a second thought. Rainbow smiled wickedly, her hooves rubbing together in an evil pose. "Alright AJ, I dare you... " the blue Pegasus trailed off slightly. "To wear a dress!" She laughed mechanically. Applejack' jaw dropped slightly, before clenching, baring her teeth. "Fine ah will!" She stormed off, her ears flat against her head.

She chose a random dress out of Twilight's wadrobe, thankfully it wasn't too sparkly.

She slipped it on, it clenching her waist tightly. She turned around, facing the mirror, it looked alright... She supposed, she really didn't know much about dresses and fashion, that was Rarity's thing. The dress was a blood red, it starting under her forelegs, where it was covered in sparkly sequins, to a trail that was longer around the back than it was around the front. She had to admit, it wouldn't be her first choice, but it was ok. Applejack sighed, before walking slowly back to the room where the others where currently waiting. As soon as she walked in Rainbowdash started laughing, her legs covering her chest as she slipped off her seat, chortling away. Applejack frowned annoyed. Rarity gasped "oh darling Applejack, it looks gorgeous on you!" The unicorn cooed her blue eyes widened at the farm pony. "Great, now ah'ma get this off before somepony, loses a wing or two!" She growled at Rainbowdash who was crying tears of laughter. Applejack trotted back, quickly slipping the dress off, and struggling to get it to fit on the colthanger right. Half of one of the shoulders fell off the slope, Applejack snorted and turned tail.

It was Applejack's turn to dare somepony. "Ah... Twilight, truth or dare?" Applejack asked, deciding Twilight's fate. "Well let's see, I guess I'll do dare." The lavender alicorn answered, waiting, her destiny held in Applejack's hooves. Applejack grinned "twiliaght, I dare you... To dance!" She chuckled smiling, this was going to be funny. Twilight scowled, before leaping out of her chair and turning on some music from a record player with her magic. The music came blaring out. Twilight sighed, before starting to dance. She threw herself toward, on one front hoof, and the opposite back hoof, then back again, switching her legs up. The purple mare then balanced on her back two legs, her front hooves going up and down. Next to each other, Twilight's face was Scrunched up in concentration. Applejack, despite her efforts to not laugh, collapsed out of her chair cackling, followed by Rainbowdash. The two laughed clutching their stomachs In their hooves. When they stopped, Applejack flicked her fringe out of her eyes. "Right, now it's my turn!" Twilight grinned Evilly. "Rarity, I dare you..." Applejack couldn't hear the rest as the lilac mare turned and whispered into the white unicorns ear. "My pleasure darling." The diva smiled, before plucking a feather out of one of Twilight's open wings. Applejack's lime green eyes widened as she realised what was about to happen. Rarity advanced towards the farm pony smirking, the feather still levitating in her magic aura. Applejack chuckled nervously, her back against her throne. "You wouldn't dare!" she looked at the two smirking mares. "Oh, I did." Twilight said smugly. Rarity started tickling Applejack's belly with the feather. Applejack lurched struggling to get away form the feather, but she was paralysed. The feather was sending shivers down her spine, making her roll about the floor in laughter. "Oh mah, oh mah, make it stop!" She pleaded with Rarity between giggles,her back arching from the feathers touch, yep she was very ticklish and Twilight knew that.

They played for quite a while, before Twilight, said she was going to make dinner. Applejack, followed the alicorn into her kitchen. "Um, twilight." The orange mare stood behind the purple pony cooking dinner. "Oh, yes Applejack?" She turned around slightly, so she could see the earth pony out of the corner of her purple eye. "Ah'm a bit sweaty, Is it ok if I have a shower?" She asked, her hat slightly out of place. "Sure, the bathroom is down the corridor, third door on the left." She pointed with a wing as she turned back around to continue making their dinner. Applejack trotted down the hall, staring at her reflection in the crystals that lined the halls, it was quite gloomy and dark in Twilight's castle, and their efforts to lighten up the place, where vain. She gently, nudged the door open with a hoof, her heart beat still calming down from the crazy dares they had done. She shut the door with a simple kick of a hoof, before locking it with her mouth. The mare then turned the taps in the shower, the new metal squeaking slightly. The water flooded down from the shower head, Applejack dipping a hoof in, testing the water, it ran off her hoof, the Luke warm water making her light orange fur, now a darker orange. She turned the tap again, the water now becoming much warmer. Smiling the earth pony took off her light brown, dusty hat and set it on the bathroom counter. The mare then stepped into the shower, careful not to slip on the tile floor. Applejack sighed, relaxed as the water pounded onto her back from above, before streaming downwards, and off of her tail. The orange mare's muscles where relaxing under the heat of the water, her muscles where always bunched up while working on The farm, showers felt so good, unwinding all the springs her muscles where set into. Her blond mane was now a shade of brown as It clung to her forehead and shoulder. She sat down, her shoulder inbetween two corners. The water slid down her face, dripping onto her neck at various times. Applejack could have stayed in their forever, but she had responsibilities, and Twilight had water bills to pay!

She climbed out of the relaxing shower, shaking herself dry, droplets of water flying off her damp pelt. Applejack after drying herself more on a towel, escaped the bathroom and trotted into the kitchen, make sure not to leave a trail of water behind her slightly wet hooves. "Ah'm back!" The farm pony smiled, sitting down on a chair facing her four best friends. "Great, cause dinner is served!" Twilight came enthusiastically trotting out of the kitchen, six plates levitated in her purple magic aura. She dropped a plate at each pony's spot at the table before plopping down at her spot, ready to eat the meal she had cooked. Heated up celery and herbivore lasagna. "Hmm, it smells good Twilight!" Fluttershy grinned, sniffing the meal in front of her.

"It certainly looks the treat darling!" Rarity grinned levitating a fork in her magic, ready to dig in. "I have to say, it does taste delicious!" Rainbow declared, her mouth covered in crumbs, the others glaring at her. "What it was just sitting there looking at me!" She pointed her hooves at the half gone dinner.

Applejack pulled her pillow out of her saddlebag. "Woah, Applejack how did that fit in there?" Fluttershy's teal eyes widened. "Ah honestly don't know!" Applejack frowned, confused. "Makes perfect sense to me!" Pinkie pie smiled hopping past the two staring at the pillow. "Pinkie logic" Rainbowdash explained from her mattress, rolling her eyes. Applejack chuckled, plopping her pillow back on her mattress, which looked exactly the same as she left it.
