Rarity couldn't stop working, she had to finish her design before the end of the week. This was her most important dress yet. If this dress were a success, she could finally become a big shot fashion designer in Canterlot. Things could finally turn around, nothing could stop her. Wait. There was always something stopping her. Something crashing into her room and the worst times, where was it. 'Oh great!' Rarity thought as soon as she figured it out. 'Every time something important happens she has to go and do something.' There was no time for putting anything away so Rarity simply dropped everything and raced off to the farm of her loved one. She could only hope Rainbow hadn't apologized yet.
Rainbow slowly approached the hammock. Just as she had thought, that country mare sat on its edge in that same weird position. She tried saying something, but nothing came out. It was as if she were afraid to confront her friend, like she shouldn't. Dash stepped a little closer to the hammock and the rustling grass gave her location away. AppleJack didn't even so much as flinch, instead she stayed sitting and quite calm.
"What'd ya want?" AppleJack asked obviously not wanting to talk.
"I-uh, well," Rainbow stopped to clear her throat. "I came to, uh, talk." Silence. "Look, I know you might be upset about me and Fluttershy, but don't be. There's a pony out there for everyone, especially awesome ponies." Rainbow smirked, then realized what she had said. AppleJack turned around and stared at the blue pegasus. "And, uh, you're one of those ponies. I mean, there's a great big list of cool things you can do, but uh, its just that uh..."
"Jus' that what?" AppleJack asked impatiently.
"I mean, you're great and all, its just that uh..." Rainbow wandered off looking for words. Now she knew why Rarity hadn't wanted her to talk to AppleJack.
"Jus' what? Ah'm not as good as Fluttershy? Fluttershy is better than me? What is it? Why the hay would ya come here to tell me that? What was the whole poin't o' comin' here jus' to make me feel worse?" AppleJack screamed boiling with anger. "Ah mean, Ah jus'..." Rainbow felt bad now. She didn't know what to AppleJack. She only had two choices. Tell AJ what she wanted to hear and basically throw Fluttershy away, or lose one of her closest friends.
Rarity was almost at the hammock, she could see her friends already there, but they couldn't see her. She stepped a bit closer and got a better view of what was going on. She had almost dared to take one more step closer before hearing an angry mare."Jus' what? Ah'm not as good as Fluttershy? Fluttershy is better than me? What is it? Why the hay would ya come here to tell me that? What was the whole poin't o' comin' here jus' to make me feel worse?" The voice was seething with anger, but there was a country drawl to it. Rarity stepped a little closer to see what was going on. Rainbow had done it. She knew she should leave while she had the chance, but she had to make sure everything would turn out fine. Obviously, it wouldn't.
"AppleJack, I didn't say that," Rainbow protested. There was no way out. She was in a deadlock, either way a friend was going to be lost.
"But that's what cha' meant to say," AppleJack screamed back in furry.
"AppleJack, listen, I'm sorry that-"
"That what? We cain't be together 'cause of Fluttershy?"
"No, that-"
"Fluttershy is better than me?"
"No-"
"That what then? There ain't an excuse now!"
"Well... I don't even know why," Rainbow said, leaving a confused AppleJack in front of her.
"Why what?"
"Why you like me. There are plenty of other ponies out there like me I mean, why haven't you gotten over this?"
"Rainbow, there ain't other ponies out there like yerself. You're special, you can actually respect mah ways. Ah don't think there's anyone like you."
"AppleJack don't do this, please. You're tearing yourself apart and you need to stop," Rainbow yelled. She stopped to sigh heavily before things got worse. "I... I'm sor-" That was all she could say. She was cut off by the taste of apples. So sweet and innocent, yet so wrong. Rainbow didn't know what to do, this was completely unexpected. There was only one thing Rainbow knew and that was that she didn't know what the hay she was doing. Meanwhile, a pair of sapphire eyes went wide with horror. Why hadn't Rainbow ended the connection? Why wasn't she doing anything, she has a girlfriend. Rarity stood meters away not knowing what to do herself. She couldn't do anything, but cry. Finally, Rarity could no longer watch. She ran making the grass crumble beneath her feet. Rainbow shifted her eyes upon hearing the grass falter under Rarity's hooves and finally pushed away from AppleJack. She glanced at the running white unicorn then back at her lover. They stared at each other with two contradicting expressions. AppleJack stared worried and sorry, while Dash stared with anger and confusion.
"Ah'm sorry..."
A/N; I'm kind of surprised this thing has actually gotten so many views from people, so uh thanks. This whole story is getting crapped up in my head now cause I have so many things to think about now. I have all these stories floating around in my head that I really need to get on paper and I have to study for this Latin School math competition and my birthday is coming up so... yeah. I'll try to fix what I have messed up and Rainbow will too :D
