Rainbow shot daggers at AppleJack with her stare. AppleJack didn't even have the courage to look at the rainbow maned mare, she was too ashamed of what she did. The orange mare opened her mouth once more in order to say something, but was quickly cut off by Rainbow.

"No! Don't even say you're sorry!" Dash screamed. "I-I don't even... I need to get away for a while."

"Rainbow Ah'm really-"

"No, don't say anything. I'm the one at fault. I shouldn't have came over to see you and I shouldn't have said sorry. I just need time to think," Rainbow said not wanting to deal with AppleJack any longer.

"Yeah... Ah guess Ah do too," AppleJack said still looking at the ground.

"I think," Rainbow began. "There are other ponies that you have to see first." As Dash spoke she slowly trotted away from the farm pony. Once she was out of AppleJack's sight she flew away to Ponyville. AppleJack was left standing by her hammock keeping tears from escaping her damp emerald eyes. She wasn't sure what to do now. Go back to work? What other pony was there that she had to talk to, what was Rainbow talking about. AppleJack hadn't a clue, so she cried, However, AppleJack was a stubborn pony. Even though she knew she was far too torn for work, she had to help her farm. AppleJack stood by the hammock for a few more minutes before finally trotting slowly back to her threshold.

It was the break of dawn and a piercing alarm shot through an orange mare's eyes. AppleJack opened her eye ever so slowly revealing the emerald pupils. She yawned and trotted to the mirror that accommodated her dresser. She stared at herself for a while wondering if that was really her. Her mane was messier than usual, and her eyes looked bloodshot and puffy. Probably due to all the crying. She probably tossed and turned a lot in her sleep, even though AppleJack never remembered her dreams, she had a feeling the last one wasn't too great. She walked down stairs and saw her older, red, brother already seated at a small family table. AppleJack never really saw Big Macintosh do much. He was always out on the orchard before her and always back in before her. She watched as her big brother munched on an apple and began heading out the door. AppleJack followed her brother out the door, she didn't feel like eating this morning. The two walked only a few paces out the door before Big Macintosh stopped, causing AppleJack to collide with the red stallion.

"Hey, uh, AJ," the baritone stallion began.

"Y-yeah Big Mac?" AppleJack stuttered off guard.

"Are you okay?" Big Mac said slow and country as ever.

"W-why wouldn't Ah be? Jus' a little tired is all," AppleJack tried lying. However, her brother knew her much too well. Besides, it was always obvious when AppleJack attempted to lie.

"AJ, Ah can tell when yer lyin'. Ah'm jus' tryin' ta help, Ah know somethings wrong," Bic Mac said concerned. AppleJack knew that there was no running away. Her brother loved her and really did want to help, and she knew she could trust him too. With that she took a deep breath and sighed.

"Well, its kinda complicated," AppleJack began.

"How so?" her brother interrupted.

"Ah-ah've got a little crush," she admitted. Big Macintosh only stared at his sister, knowing there was more to it. "Its not jus' any kinda crush though."

"So ya like some pony, what of it?" Macintosh said.

"Well Ah gotta crush onna filly."

"What's that problem?"

"Ah like rain...ash...bow...her," AppleJack murmured. It was as if Fluttershy had been talking instead of AppleJack.

"What was that?"

"Ah like ren...dash...ahem," AppleJack whispered.

"C'mon sis, y'all can trust me," Macintosh said.

"Ah... Ah like Rainbow Dash," AppleJack finally spat out.

"See, its not that bad," Big Macintosh said calmly.

"Not that bad? Mac it is bad, she don't like me in the same way. She and Fluttershy have a thing now and Ah.. Ah was being a jealous foal!" AppleJack screamed at her brother. "Ah don't know what ta do now!"

"Why don't cha jus' talk ta 'er?" Bag Mac suggested.

"'Cause she ain't wanna see me no more."

"How do y'all know that?"

"Ah did somethin' Ah shouldn't have. And now Ah jus' know she hates me," AppleJack sighed.

"Well waddya do that was so terrible?"

"Ah kisse 'er. And its ain't even that. She didn't like it and she's with Fluttershy anyway," AppleJack confessed. She sighed once more and waited for her brother to say something. Big Macintosh only stared into space. "What do Ah do Big Mac?"

"Well, fist ya gotta clear up this mess with anypony who might've been affected by this sorta thing," he said.

"What's that 'sposed ta mean?"

"Last night Ah saw Miss Rarity runnin' outta the orchard. It looked ta me like she was cryin' too," Big Macintosh informed. "Then, ya gotta clear all this up with yer other friends."

"Ya mean Rainbow and Fluttershy, right," AppleJack said.

"Eyup."

A/N; So I'm was going to work on this some more but I decided I've procrastinated long enough so here we are. It's getting really close to my birthday and I'm getting really lazy now. Also, in honor of my birthday /totally not self-centered/ I'm making a little short fiction about a certain pony's birthday so updates will be really slow for a while.
Sorry I've been making really short chapters lately.
