Ten More Minutes
She had work to do, bucking in the orchard, feeding the cattle, apple deliveries to the restaurants and markets in town. So why is she wasting time here, lying on her side in her bed? Maybe it's because of the pegasus sleeping peacefully behind her, hooves wrapped around Applejack's stomach. Dash tightened her grip, warm from equal part blanket and body heat. A smile stretched across her face as she relished in the calm of this moment. It's so unlike the impatient pegasus to be still, Applejack has to crane her neck back to make sure it really is her marefriend.
Rainbow had recently found she enjoyed sleeping in an actual bed, as compared to the clouds she had slept on most of her life. Something she had also realized about herself was that she loved spooning, especially when she got to be the big spoon. It took little effort to just lay there and cuddle, and the scent of Applejack's mane was absolutely fantastic. Oddly enough it smelled vaguely of strawberries. Ever since they had gotten together, the pegasus had spent most nights curled up with the farm mare. In fact a rainbow colored toothbrush had somehow found its way into the bathroom.
It made Applejack smile, the thought that brave and arrogant Dash had turned into a softy that loved cuddling, and it took a large amount of restraint to keep from laughing. She was largely unaware that she was enjoying this just as much as the lightly snoring pony beside her. The curtains did a decent job of blocking the sunlight, but after time the room was slowly bathed in stronger and stronger glows. "Ah have to get up now sugarcube." She whispered, hearing moans and groans directly in her ear.
"Just ten more minutes AJ," she muttered, pulling closer to the somewhat annoyed pony. This was the third exclamation of that statement since she'd woken up, and it was starting to annoy her. When Rainbow lays her head on Applejack's own, those green orbs widen in surprise.
"Alright," she muttered, finding little harm in just a few more minutes of silence.
"Awesome," Dash continued to squeeze, drifting back into peaceful bliss. Applejack does the same, positive that the farm can wait another ten minutes . . . or maybe sixty.
No more than a hundred.
I've never actually done drabbles, but this was certainly fun. Short, but fun.
Also, thoughts on latest episode? I, for one, loved Pinkie's song!
