UPDATE: Well….We certainly left at an awkward moment….Let's see where it goes.

ONTO THE STORY
_

Applejack looked over at Rainbow.

"Oh, nothin'...You?" She looked up at the girl with question, actually wanting to know.

"Same. Just chillin' I guess…"

"How did you know?...Like that Spitfire was there?"

"I...I...I don't know. I went there to find Gilda, but if Spitfire was there, she might be in...my old room. That's when I saw her do what I almost did…"

"Almost did what?"

"Suicide. I was dark back then AJ. I didn't have a way out and sought out to kill myself, but changed my mind...Anyway, how's you and Soarin?"

"Soarin….Well, he's definitely more than Ah thought he would be…"

"Is he nice to you?" Rainbow looked over and saw Applejack stare up and let out a breath.

"Ah don't want to lie Rainbow….I'm sorry….I should've never gotten with him….He's...He's"

"What?"

Applejack let out another breath and felt a tear run down the side of her face as she faced Rainbow Dash.

"He's violent. Everything Ah don't do right, he punishes me…"

"Like Gilda.." Rainbow whispered under her breath.

"Hm? Anyway, he doesn't really take the relationship seriously, and Ah overheard him talking….He's going to leave me and try to get to you…"

"WHAT?! He wanted me at first, then Pinkie, then you, then me, then you, and NOW ME AGAIN?!"

"Ya….And I'm sorry…..Ah should've had sex with him...You were right…..Ah..Ah..Just can't forgive mahself fo' that."

"AJ...I should be sorry….I hurt you….And I've been living in turmoil for the past few days. I can't say enough to how ungrateful I was to you…"

"Rainbow…" She stood and brought Rainbow to her feet, and hugged her.

"Ah...Ah...Never should've left...Ah want things back to the way they were.." She stepped back and wiped a tear from her cheek.

"I do to AJ….But.." Rainbow leaned back.

"But you like him, and he likes you…"

"He. Well here." She stepped back and revealed a hidden part of her body covered by the dress she had on.

Scars and scrapes covered her stomach and sides. Bruises were along her rear and her privates were swollen.

"He's violent in bed too…But Ah never really wanted to do it again."

"HE did this to you?"

"Ya..Ah...Ah...Ah shouldn't have told you. He will find out.."

"Ya...From me…" Rainbow pushed off the counter and knocked on the door.

"LET US OUT!"

"Oh looks like the-they're ready!" Soarin shouted from the outside as the door opened.

Soarin was on the verge of falling over. Alcohol consumed his body like none other. Everyone seemed a little hyped up too. There were less people left, however. Most had gone home and left his home.

"Hey Soarin! I want to have a word with you!"

"Sure thing R-Rainbow Crash!" He hopped off the disc jockey area and ran over, knocking over and spilling bottles as he did.

"Let's talk…" She grabbed his arm and pulled him into the spare bedroom downstairs, locking the door and propping a chair up to it just in case.

"Wow..F-Finally wanting to fuck me Rainbow? Ha..I knew it.." He leaned in and kissed Rainbow.

"The fuck?!" She pushed his face back and knocked him into a nearby dresser, making him drop his cup of beer.

"Damn that was my last beer! The hell Rainbow baby?!"

"I'm not your baby! Why did you hurt Applejack?"

"Hurt Applejack? Applejack? Oh, right, uh she told you….That bitch.."

"She is not a bitch, you hurt her!"

"And for telling you, she's gonna get beat.." Soarin walked over and started to move the chair, but was cut off by a punch from Rainbow.

Soarin shot back and hit the wall, but couldn't advance. Rainbow didn't hold back in advancing and hit Soarin again. He shot back his head and hit the wall, screaming in pain. She continued to hit him, not holding back and punching every soft spot that was open.

"Don't...Hurt...My…...Girlfriend!" Rainbow realized what she had just said, stopping and thinking about it.

"M-My girlfriend.." She looked up and punched Soarin another time, hitting him square in the face.

"You didn't see Spitfire again. It's your fault Soarin that she's dead!"

"My fault?" He spit out blood and let out a breath before another hit from Rainbow.

After a few more hits, she stopped. Soarin looked ravaged and was bleeding from many places. He coughed up blood and spit out a tooth. He slid down the wall and grabbed his abdomen, exclaiming in pain.

"Applejack is still my bitch Rainbow…."

"No Ah am not!" Applejack broke down the door and ran up to him, lifting him up by his shirt and putting him to the wall.

"Ah see Rainbow let out what she had on you, and looks like you're done." She dropped the boy, sending him on his feet.

"Not yet bitch!" He was about to lay a hit but was cut off from a kick to the nuts by Applejack.

"And that's what I had for you.."

He grabbed his crotch and slid back down the wall.

Applejack and Rainbow sat outside in the forest, looking up as the sun set on the world. It was another brisk night. The Everfree forest was always known to be primarily colder and darker than the rest of town. People never came in since they believed in fictional legends and myths surrounding the forest. Rainbow showed Applejack a spot in the forest and used it as a hang out place as kids.

"Haven't been here for a while.." Applejack hopped over a dead tree trunk and walked over to a flat outcropping that looked out over the rest of the forest and town.

She joined Rainbow Dash sitting on a tree branch.

"I'm sorry Rainbow...It's all my fault. If I hadn't distracted him, Spitfire would be alive, and I wouldn't have hurt ya…"

"AJ….It's my fault. Don't take blame. I dated Gilda, brought her here…...and hurt all of you…...You don't deserve it….She's the one to blame...For Spitfire, for me, for everyone. I'm sorry.."

She looked over at Applejack who had a tear stream down her face. It sparkled in the dying sun's light and fell to the earth, landing on dead grass and branches that lay below. Applejack faced Rainbow. Her eyes sparkled in the rays and cast a reflective beam on the ground. She grabbed Rainbow and brought her in for a hug and began to cry.

"A-Ah didn't want any of this…" Her voice choked and her breath shook.

"Neither did I…" The sun set on them as their hug lasted the set.
