Applejack shoots up and bounds for the kitchen nearly tripping on her own two feet.

Twilight re-hooks her bra and follows after her.

Applejack, as embarrassed as she could be and red as the apples on her cutie marks, fumbled with the pans and put both on the island. She wordlessly handed a pack of icing to Twilight and began icing her cupcakes.

“Applejack? Is everything alright? You look a little red.” Twilight tells her concerned. The shorter girl puts a hand on her arm and gives her a worried look.

“Just dandy!” Applejack squeaked, which was considerably unnaturally high for a girl with such a low voice. “I-It’s just that it’s still a little hot in here!”

Twilight was still a little apprehensive, but gave her the benefit of the doubt. “Oh, yeah. Well maybe I should open a window.” She responds reaching for the window above the stove.

“No, no, that’s okay! Ah got it. Why don’t you call everyone over so we can share these? Ah’m sure Pinkie would be thrilled!”

Twilight was taken aback with how fast Applejack was talking but didn’t question it. “Alright.” She says heading out to the living room to get her cell phone.

Applejack let out a sigh before finishing up with the cupcakes. She then leans against the counter and groans. She didn’t want to admit it but it’s finally come to it. “Ah’m in love with her.” she whispers in despair.

Thirty minutes later the library door opens to reveal the rest of the mane six.

Pinkie hoped in, her curls bouncing every inch she moved. “Hiya Twilight! Hey Applejack! I heard there were cupcakes! Where are the cupcakes?!” She demanded, her hands making grabby movements.

Rainbow Dash walked in after her, dragging the ever so shy Fluttershy with her. “‘Sup.” She greeted before throwing herself down on the couch. Fluttershy sheepishly waves before joining her.

Rarity, always one to make a grand entrance, tucked her Prada glasses into the neckline of her sundress that she designed herself. “Hello girls! I brought some drinks with me!” She chirped, holding up a bottle of wine.

“Don’t you think it’s a bit early to be drinking wine, Rarity?” Twilight asks taking the bottle.

“Nonsense, darling! I had a glass before I left!” Rarity responded, her Transatlantic accent crisp.

“Or two.” Rainbow muttered as the fashionista almost tripped walking over towards her.

Applejack grinned. With the rest of the girls around Twilight wouldn’t be much of a problem. Especially not with a tipsy Rarity around.

“We should watch a movie!” Pinkie declared, squeezing herself in between Dash and Rarity with the tin of cupcakes in her hand.

“Pinkie! Those all aren’t for you! They’re for everyone! Honestly, do you have any manners?” Twilight scolded, grabbing the tray from her and setting it on the coffee table in front of the couch.

Pinkie giggled. “Of course I do, silly filly! Why else would I eat the blue ones?” She grinned, the aforementioned icing smeared all over her teeth.

“Pinks, for a twenty-one year old, you sure are childish.” Dash added, putting an arm around her.

The pink haired girl snorted with laughter. “What?”

Everyone sighed. There was no use in explaining it to her. it would only confuse her even more.

Twilight put the movie on and turned off all the lights before plopping down next to Applejack who tensed when their arms brushed. The latter girl scooted over.

In the light flicker of the screen, Applejack could see the hurt and confused look Twilight was giving her. She cursed herself under her breath.

She really wasn't trying to be so cold hearted towards Twilight, but with the mixed feelings brewing within her she couldn’t get too close to her without her emotions getting out of whack.

Applejack decided to distract herself from her inner turmoil by paying attention to the screen. Twilight must’ve not have paid attention when she put it in because it was a romantic comedy. Something she really didn’t need to see right now.

She then trained her attention to the window outside, the sun barely still in the sky and the moon slowly starting to rise. She figured she would need to get home soon but decided against it. Mac, Bloom and Granny all think she’s studying and that’s what she wants them to believe. At least for now.

Twenty minutes pass, and soon light snoring around the room can be heard. Rarity is the first one to knock out, laying her head on Pinkie’s shoulder. The party planner soon follows suit, leaning her head on Rarity’s. Fluttershy curls up into a ball before drifting off too, and soon it’s just Applejack and Rainbow Dash awake.

Applejack would have thought Twilight was still awake too if she hadn’t felt Twilight fall into her lap. She blushed at the feeling of her warm body pressed against hers. Not want to risk doing something she’ll regret, slowly and carefully, the farm girl laid her friend on the floor. She then quietly gets up and tiptoes over to Dash. Grabbing her hand, she drags the athlete into the kitchen.

“Yo. What’s up?” Dash whispered, leaning against the kitchen island.

Applejack ran her hands through her dirty blonde hair. “If Ah tell you this RD, do ya promise not ta tell the others?” Applejack responded just as quiet.

“Well, duh. I’m the element of Loyalty after all. Now spill it.” Dash told her, folding her arms.

“Ah...maybe...uh, a little bit..sexually attracted to Twilight.”

“You what?!” Dash practically shouted before AJ clamped a hand over her mouth, her eyes wide in horror.

“Dammit, Rainbow! Don’t shout like that! You’ll wake ‘em up!” Applejack chided in a hushed tone.

The speedster nodded then removed her friend’s hand from her mouth. “How the hay did this happen?!” She asked.

Applejack was shaking with anxiety now. “Ah, Ah don’t know! Lately she’s been wearing these outfits and it’s like Ah can’t help but notice how attractive she is.”

Rainbow put a hand on her shoulder and smirked. “Oh, I see what’s going on here.”

“What?” Applejack asked, confused.

“You’re sexually frustrated aren’t ‘cha?” Rainbow continued, her smile growing wider with amusement.

Applejack frowned. “Where you goin’ with this, RD?”

Rainbow Dash put her arms up in surrender. “Just, just hear me out. I think what’s happening to you is what happened to me.”

“Ah’m listenin’.” Applejack granted, her arms folding over her own chest.

“Okay, see back in high school me and Fluttershy were like, not that close but after awhile we started hangin’ out a lot more and soon I started realizing what a bangin’ bod she had then one night after finals we kinda you know...did it.” A light blush creeped up on Rainbow’s tan skin as she finished her sentence. She bit her lip before continuing. “What I’m trying to say is, you my friend, have a girl crush.”

“A what?” Applejack barked.

“A girl crush. A crush on a girl where you don’t really wanna date her but you want to shove your face in between her thighs.” Rainbow explains, making a shoving motion with her arm.

“Okay, and this is what you think is happening with me and Twilight?” Applejack asked.

“Positive.” Dash insistes.

Applejack thought for a moment, and then sighed. Maybe Rainbow was right. Maybe it was just some stupid crush that was just based on lust. Then it hit her. “Wait, you had sex with Fluttershy?!”

Dash jumped at the question. “Well, yeah. I just told you that.” She answers.

“Does she even know how to-”

“Oh, ho, trust me, she knows. She knows very well. Surprised the heck out of me too.” Rainbow responded, rubbing the back of her neck.

“There are things that ya jus’ don’t need ta know about yer friends, an’ this is one of ‘em.” Jack mumbled under her breath. “Thanks for the advice, RD.” She adds, before starting to make her way out the kitchen.

“No prob.” Dash says waving her hand as if to wave the subject matter off. “Just don’t forget to tell me when it happens.”

“When wha-” Before Applejack could finish, she came face to face with the root of her problems.

Since she had left her on the floor, Twilight’s purple and pink hair was messy but in a cute just-got-out-of-bed way. Her clothes were disheveled, making her look sexy in a way AJ couldn’t describe.

Twilight smiled at them. “Hey, guys. What were you talking about?” She asks, looking at them expectantly.

Applejack’s heart was in her throat. Had Twilight heard their conversation?

“Nothin’. Jus’, uh, athlete stuff.” Applejack scrambled.

There was a smacking sound and then a faint, “Smooth, AJ.” from the girl behind her.

“Oh. Okay. Well. If you guys want to, you can spend the night. It’s pretty late and I wouldn’t want something to happen to you.” She was now looking at Applejack in particular for some reason.

“That’s mighty nice of ya, Twi. Thanks.” Applejack responded, sweating bullets. She bet Dash could hear her heartbeat even from as far away as she was standing.

Twilight nodded. “Well, I’m gonna go put my pajamas on. I’ll be right back.” She said, before walking back out the kitchen and bounded up the stairs.

Applejack stood there watching after her, mouth agape. She quickly closed it before humming to herself,

“Girl crush, huh?”

Author's Notes:

This is shorter than the last one but with good reason. Today was the first day of school for me and I'm exhausted. I know I said it was going to be up yesterday but I simply couldn't finish it in enough time because I had to go to bed early so that I could get up for school. That said, I did the best I could. I promise, promise, promise the next chapter will be longer. Don't forget to comment! :D
