Among The Pegasi
Chapter 11: Help Down On The Farm
Previous Chapter Next ChapterA quiet and clear night had graced the humble town of Ponyville, most of its inhabitants were however safe cooped up in their warm homes, while bright twinkling stars covered the sky above, only a couple ponies were seen still walking around the town.
And on this relaxing night, two young mares lay together on a high hill on the outskirts of the sleeping town. One being a cyan pegasus with a brightly coloured rainbow mane, while the other was a lavender alicon, with her darkly coloured mane, matching her eyes that were gazing up to the night sky.
The two lay cuddled up close to one another as they enjoyed this moonlit night they had been blessed with, feeling like right at this moment it had been especially meant for just them and nopony else.
The pegasus sighed a little as she glanced to the mare that lay beside her, smiling slightly as she watched the beautiful alicorn gaze at the night sky in awe, seeming almost like she had never even seen it before. She felt like commenting on it, but decided against it, for this moment was perfect, and words would simply ruin it, so instead the pegasus just shrugged her shoulders and slowly lay her wing over the alicorn's back.
The alicorn's dark eyes widened a little as she noticed the feel of soft feathers brushing against her back, looking away from the night sky, as she turned to look to the mare beside her, the pegasus smiling to her in reply, while she just smiled back, leaning into her lover more, and nuzzling lovingly into her neck, sighing happily while she rested her ear against the pegasus's chest, and listened to the slow and calming rhythm of her heartbeat.
The pegasus chuckled slightly, before she rolled over to lay on top of the other mare, the two gazing into each others eyes, as they held one another close, and melted into a sweet kiss that only lasted a little while, their lips parting as they touched foreheads, and smiled to each other.
"I love you Twilight," the pegasus whispered as she pecked the alicorn's muzzle lightly, causing her to blush in reply.
"Oh Rainbow Dash, I-
*BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP*
Rainbow Dash was awoken from her peaceful sleep by her alarm clock, blaring a loud siren that gave the cyan pegasus a bit of a fright. She quickly sat up in her bed, shutting off the noisy clock on her bedside table with a hoof, before she sighed deeply and stretched a little, shaking her head as she shook off all her tiredness, and slowly threw the cover off of herself, climbing out of her bed and heading for the bathroom a second later, while she yawned and wished that she could have slept a little more.
She never normally woke up this early, but due to the fact that her and the Princess were doing something today, she had to be up pretty much at dawn, which was something she really hoped she wouldn't have to start getting used to.
The pegasus didn't hate waking up this early to spend time with her marefriend, but unfortunately for her, she wasn't just going to be with Twilight. Instead today Princess Twilight had arranged for the two to go to 'Sweet Apple Acres' for the day, where apparently they would meet up with Applejack, and find a way to 'Improve their relationship' or whatever.
This was definitely not something that Rainbow wanted to do, and she would have much rather do probably anything else, but she figured there wasn't really any way she was going to be able to start getting along with the ponies of Ponyville, unless she actually tried to make amends with the ones that she had already made enemies out of. And although Twilight had reassured the pegasus that everything would run smoothly, Dash really didn't see this ending well.
Yes the party a couple of days ago had gone better than she expected, but this time she couldn't just walk off and be by herself like she often did that night, she had to face this head on. She didn't feel all that ready for it, but she thought she could at least try, for the sake of her ever-hopeful marefriend.
And so as mid-morning set in, and Rainbow had just finished eating her breakfast, she now waited around for a little. And sure enough right on time she heard a light knocking at her door, knowing exactly who it was without even having to guess, as she walked up to her front door and answered it.
"Good morning Rainbow Dash," Twilight happily greeted Rainbow with a bright smile, clearly she was more than excited about toady it would seem.
"Hey Twilight," Rainbow smiled slightly as she greeted the Princess, but obviously didn't share the same enthusiasm that Twilight had.
"You ready to go see Applejack?" Twilight asked as she could tell how much Rainbow wasn't looking forward to this, but she was staying positive that today would go well.
"As I'll ever be, I guess," Rainbow replied reluctantly, while Twilight just sighed a little, and gave her anxious marefriend an encouraging nuzzle causing her to smile a little more, while she nuzzled the alicorn back, before the two took off into the sky together, ready to fly over to Sweet Apple Acres.
... ...
On the way to the farm, Twilight seemed to be happily thinking to herself about how today would go. She would often think out loud about certain things, while than rambling off until the pegasus flying beside her decided to stop listening. But still the excited Princess would continue on about how she thought things would go, what she had planned for after accomplishing the task of getting Rainbow and Applejack to somehow make up, and find a way to try and get along better.
Rainbow sighed a little as she looked down at the town below them, watching as she saw many of the ponies leaving their homes, and heading out to go and go about their daily lifes, some were walking down to the market, either to buy or sell items, while others simply walked around the town, talking to other ponies, and all engaging in a very humble and familiar atmosphere. It caused Rainbow to think of Cloudsdale a little, true the two towns did seem quite different from the outside, but when you looked to see how all the residents bounded with each other, it was easy to say that they seemed very much alike.
The cyan pegasus had been giving this town a bit of the cold shoulder when she really didn't need to, but many of the other pegasi had acted that way as well, would there really possibly be a way to reset it all, and start again?
"So Rainbow are you excited to finally end this feud, and start making friends instead of enemies with the ponies of this town?" Twilight asked happily, bringing Rainbow out of her thoughts, while the pegasus looked to her, and shook her head a little.
"Huh? Oh yeah sure," Rainbow answered, sounding unsure of herself, while she glanced away from Twilight for a minute.
Twilight looked a little concerned as she looked to the anxious pegasus, before she smiled slightly and flew closer to her marefriend, resting a hoof under her chin, as she looked deep into her magenta eyes,
"You'll be fine Dash," She stated as she nuzzled the pegasus a little, and caused her to give out a small chuckle.
"If you say so," Rainbow replied with a weak smile, before she picked up speed a little and cheered up a bit, she wasn't looking forward to meeting up with Applejack again, but she was willing to try and stay at least a little positive about it all, it was only for a little while, and the day would be over before she knew it...at least that what she hoped for.
Twilight smiled as she looked to Rainbow, she knew that today wasn't probably going to turn out exactly as she had planned it, but if it meant that Dash could finally start trying to make these ponies see that she really did want to end this fall out between the two towns, then she would take it all as a success.
The Princess hovered for a few moments, as she caught Rainbow's attention again, and smiled when she spotted something in the distance,
"We're almost there now, Rainbow,"
Rainbow followed the Princess's gaze as she looked to see the farm that they were headed for in the distance. She felt nervous as she saw the wodden barn becoming clearer, maybe she wasn't ready for this, but there was no turning back now. Dash shook off all her anxiety, as she took a deep breath and looked confident. She could do this.
The two mares then soon landed near to the farm, walking up to the orange earth pony's home together, as Rainbow nervously hung her head low and slowly walked beside Twilight, who smiled to the pegasus, hoping that all this anxiety that she felt would go away soon. Twilight stopped for a moment, as she rested a comforting hoof on Dash's shoulder and caught her attention. Rainbow stopped as she looked back to Twilight, and sighed deeply when she saw the Princess giving her an encouraging smile,
"What should I say when I see her?" Dash asked, not knowing how she should really react to seeing the farm pony again, and although she was slowly getting used to being down on the ground in this town, talking and interacting with the ponies in it would take a lot more time.
"How about saying 'Hello' to start off with. Remember I'll be with you through all of this, so if you ever get stuck, just look to me for help alright?" Twilight explained as she smiled to Dash. Rainbow nodded in reply as she smiled back slightly, before the two started walking torwards the farm again, entering through the front gates, and then stopping to look around for Applejack.
"Hey Twilight, Rainbow!"
Twilight and Rainbow Dash turned to the sound of a familiar voice calling to them. Twilight smiled when she saw the farm pony they had been looking for waving to them both, while Rainbow looked in Applejack's direction, but didn't look exactly at her. Twilight and Rainbow came walking over to Applejack, as the three all greeted each other.
"Hey I know we were meant to go out some place and do something today, but I don't think I'm going to be able to go anywhere. There's just too much work for me to do around here," Applejack explained as she knew Twilight had arranged for her and Dash to go out somewhere and spend some time hopefully getting to know each other a little better, but with all her unfinished chores on her mind, she didn't see how she would be able to go through with the Princess's plan.
"Oh..." Twilight paused as she thought for a moment, she wanted Applejack and Rainbow to still spend at least a little time together, but exactly how were they going to do that when the farm pony had to work?
"Well maybe we can stick around here and help you get your work done then," Twilight suggested as she thought this could be a good way for the two to break the ice if they were simply working together on something.
"Are ya sure? I don't think it will be anything that would be interesting," Applejack asked as she wasn't sure Rainbow Dash would want to help out all that much, she looked to the pegasus to see her reaction, and saw that she was looking a little taken aback, but didn't look horrified with the idea it seeemed like Applejack had expected.
Twilight nodded with a smile, before she looked to Rainbow Dash. Dash just stayed silent as she felt awkward, not really knowing how to repond,
"Don't worry, we don't mind helping out, right Rainnbow Dash?" The Princess looked to Rainbow as she nudged her with a hoof, causing her to look back to her, and quickly think of something to say in return.
"Umm...sure, what do you want us to do?" Rainbow asked, her voice sounding reluctant, but Applejack smiled at the pegasus trying to be polite and offer her help all the same.
"Well I guess ya could help me with bucking a few of the trees," Applejack thought out loud, as she thought that that may be the easiest task for the pegasus to help with, after all apple-bucking was a pretty easy task to learn.
"We're going to do what to the trees now?" Rainbow Dash asked, looking a little confused, not only at what Applejack had just said, but also by what she might've meant by it.
" 'Buck' them, ya know kick them so that the apples fall off of them?" Applejack explained, wondering if Rainbow was trying to make a joke there, or if she actually wasn't sure what she had meant.
"Oh, okay I can help with that, I guess," Rainbow stated, thinking that this 'Apple-bucking' sounded easy enough from how the farm pony had explained it, after all it couldn't be that hard right?
"Alright, come on then Rainbow," Applejack said as she started walking over to a few of her trees that had red juicy apples growing on them, while Rainbow looked to Twilight seeming like she really wanted to go back home now, but Twilight just smiled to her, and gestured for her to follow Applejack.
Rainbow just sighed deeply as she nodded and followed Applejack, Twilight staying behind and watching, as she wanted to see what Rainbow would be like without her being beside her, she could still help her out and encourage her, but she would just do it from a far this time.
Dash didn't notice that Twilight hadn't been following her, until she turned to look behind her and saw the Princess still standing where she was before, having not moved an inch. Rainbow looked a little worried, as she looked to Twilight and wanted her to come up to her, but instead Twilight just smiled and made a gesture for Rainbow to go and walk over to Applejack with her hoof.
Rainbow sighed again as she guessed that Twilight was trying to make it seem like she wasn't here, so that she could see what the pegasus would be like without her standing beside her to help her out all the time. Dash slowly turned away from Twilight, and made her way over to Applejack, seeming a little reluctant still, but once she got close to the farm pony, she lifted up her head and tired to look as confident as she could.
"Alright, now apple-bucking is real easy once ya get the hang of it," Applejack stated as she smiled to Rainbow Dash. Dash still looked confused and a little worried, as she gave the farm pony a weak smile and nodded to her, glancing back to Twilight every now again, while she felt oddly uncomfortable.
"So first, ya gotta shake the tree a little to see if the apples are all ripe enough, if they are then they'll dangle a bit, and a couple should fall off," Applejack explained as she stood up on her back legs and leaned aganist a tall tree, shaking it a little with her front legs, while she looked up at the way the tree swayed back and forth, the apples growing on the leaves doing the same. They didn't look like they were ready to fall just yet, but they all seemed ripe enough.
"Try it Rainbow," Applejack said as she gestured for Rainbow Dash to do the same as she was doing.
Rainbow thought that it seemed easy enough, and although she had never really done anything like this, she always was quite the fast learner. So Dash walked up to the other side of the tree that Applejack was leaning against, and leaned against it the same way that Applejack was, looking up to the apples that hung high above her, before she started to shake the tree with her front hooves.
Dash tried to put a little more force into her front hooves, while she watched the red apples sway this way and that, looking like they could fall off of at any moment, and so she tried shaking the tree trunk a little harder, but still the apples seemed like they were staying being hung from the leaves of the tall tree.
"Hey when are these meant to fall exactly?" Rainbow asked as she looked to Applejack, who was now standing back and looking up at the swaying apples, while she left Rainbow to do the shaking.
Before Applejack could answer Rainbow, one single red apple came loose and fell from the leaves, dropping down, and bouncing off of the top of Dash's head, before it landed on the grass beside the pegasus. Rainbow seemed a little caught off guard for a moment, as she looked up at the remaining apples that were still hanging on. Rainbow heard Applejack give out a small chuckle, and turned to her with a slight glare.
"Yep that one's ready for bucking," the farm pony stated as she hid her smile from the pegasus as best she could.
Rainbow seemed very unassumed, while she rubbed her head a little, and stepped away from the tree, glancing over to Twilight, and sighing when she saw the Princess just shurg to her with a smile in reply, clearly she must have chuckled as well.
"So what's next?" Rainbow asked as she shook her head a little, and tried to not let what just happened bother her too much.
"Next is the bucking, now just watch what I do, and see if ya can do the same, alright?" Applejack instructed as she was a little surprised to see the pegasus cooperating this well, she thought when that apple bounced off of her head she would have just given up, and started to leave, but luckily that didn't seem to be the case.
Rainbow just nodded in reply, as she watched for what the farm pony would do next. Applejack walked up to the tree again, and gave it a few more good shakes with her front hooves, before she turned around and stretched a little, leaning forward a second later, lifting her back legs off the ground and kicking her hind hooves hard against the bark of the tree, causing it to shake more. The farm pony kicked a second time, a little harder, and this time caused three ripe apples to fall from the ltheir branches and land in the buckets that had been placed at the bottom of the tree earlier.
Rainbow watched as Applejack did this a few more times, being sure to watch carefully so that she would know what to do when she had to do this. Applejack kept at it until there were only about six apples left hanging from the tree, all of which looked like they could easily fall.
"Okay, think ya can get the rest down?" Applejack asked as she stepped away from the tree, and smiled to Rainbow.
"Sure, I mean it seems easy enough right?" Rainbow nodded to Applejack, and walked up to the tree, "Although why don't you just ask some of the unicorns in town to help you out? That way you would be able to get all your chores done a lot quicker right?" Rainbow looked up at the remaining apples, and turned around, ready to give the truck a good, strong kicking.
"Well these are my chores so getting some unicorn to do them for me wouldn't be right, besides the other ponies in this town have got their own lifes to deal with, they don't need me constantly asking if they could lend a hoof when I don't even need it half the time," Applejack explained, while she watched to see if the pegasus was doing everything the way she had.
"Then why am I helping you?" Rainbow asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Ya were the one that said you would, besides I am a little behind since I've been busy with other things lately," the farm pony replied, before she waited for the pegasus to start bucking the tree already, and stop stalling.
Rainbow just shrugged her shoulders, before she leaned forward and lifted her back legs up, doing the same as Applejack had done, giving the bark a hard kick with her hind hooves, but none of the apples fell. Rainbow tried a second time, kicking harder this time, but still none of the apples fell.
"Hey why isn't this working for me?" Rainbow asked as she looked to Applejack, seeming a little annoyed at the fact that all the apples did in return to her hard kicks was sway in the wind.
"Try putting more force into it," Applejack stated as she looked at the apples, she could see that they were obviously ripe, and ready to fall, but it didn't seem like Rainbow was giving the truck much of a kick to actually cause them to drop.
Rainbow tried again and again, putting more force into her kicks each time, her hind hooves thumping loudly against the tree bark, but still the apples just swayed on their branches, seeming like they could fall down at any second, but they didn't. Rainbow was starting to get a little frustrated now as she breathed heavily and stopped, giving the tree one more powerful kick, before she gave up.
However that last powerful kick caused one of the apples to fall, and bounce off of Dash's head again, before landing in the bucket beside her. Rainbow glared to the apples, and bared her teeth, feeling like she shoud just kick all of those annoying apples out of their bucket. Rainbow turned to Applejack as she decided to just endure her anger for now, and not cause for toady to go wrong over something so small.
"Hey how come this worked for you, and not me. I'm doing everything that you did?" Rainbow looked to Applejack, while the farm pony did look a little puzzled, although when she thought about it, pegasi weren't really built for bucking trees, and this was no doubt the first time that Rainbow Dash had done something like this.
"Maybe it's because ya back legs aren't as strong as mine are," Applejack suggested, as she pointed to Rainbow's back legs, it was true that Applejack's hind legs did seem to have more of a strong build to them, and the muscle mass was clearly much more noticeable on the farm pony's limbs, then it was on the pegasus's.
"That's not true, this tree of yours is just broken or something, maybe these apples weren't ready to fall just yet," Rainbow seemed like she was holding in her anger while she turned away from the farm pony, and felt like glaring to her when she heard the pony chuckle in return.
"I don't think that's it, hold on let me try," Applejack chuckled at Rainbow saying that her tree was 'broken', before she walked up to the truck, turned around and gave it a good kick with her hind hooves, causing the leaves to shake and sway much more than they did when Rainbow tried it. And just like before three of the remaining ripe apples dropped to land in the buckets at the bottom of the tree.
"Works fine for me," Applejack smiled to Rainbow, while Dash just turned away and mumbled something under her breath, looking like she was well and truly irritated now.
"Forget this, maybe I should just try something else," Rainbow stated as she turned and started to walk away for a moment, before Applejack came and stopped her.
"Now hold on Rainbow, ya can't give up so quickly like that, why don't we see if ya can do it another way instead?" Applejack suggested, not wanting the pegasus to give up so easily, as she stood in front of Dash, and thought of different ways that Dash could still somehow help get the apples down from the trees without bucking them.
"What do you mean?" Rainbow looked a little confused as she didn't see how a pony could get apples down from the trees, other than either using magic, or kicking them down. She guessed she could fly up there and pick them with her hooves, but it would take much longer to go and do that to every ripe apple on every tree in the whole orchard.
"How athletic are ya with flying?"
"Pretty good I guess, why?" Rainbow wondered why her flying had anything to do with this.
"Can ya do backflips?" Applejack asked as an idea popped into her mind.
"Of course, but why?" Rainbow still didn't see why flying or tricks had anything to do with getting apples down from trees.
"Well try flying up there, and standing on top of that tree," Applejack instructed, as she pointed back over to the tree they had just been bucking.
"Okay," Rainbow replied as she lifted herself up into the air, and flew up to stand on top of the tall tree, causing the branches to shake a little, and the apples to do the same, but yet it wasn't enough to make them fall.
"Now what?" Rainbow asked, looking down to the farm pony, waiting for her to tell her what to do next.
"Try doing a backflip in place,"
"Why?"
"Just try it!" Applejack raised her voice a little, as she wasn't really sure if this would actually work or not, but it seemed like the best option right now, after all if Rainbow could do tricks in the air fine, bringing that into something like this, could make the process a lot easier for her.
Rainbow sighed as she really didn't see what the farm pony was thinking would happen, it didn't seem like simply backflipping in place would work, but it was worth a shot she guessed. Rainbow took a deep breath and crouched down a little, before jumping up and thrusting her head backwards with just the right amount of force to do a backflip, landing in the same place that she had started, and caused the tree braches to shake more, but still the apples seemed to stay attached to their leaves, not yet letting go it would seem.
"What other ideas you got?" Rainbow asked as she looked down to Applejack, guessing that her simply doing a backflip, wouldn't do anything, and really not seeing where the farm pony was going with this idea of hers.
"Try again, but put more force into it," Applejack simply replied, looking up to Rainbow, as her eyebrows narrowed, and she could see that those apples definitely looked like they were going to fall, all they needed was a bit little more of a push.
Rainbow sighed as she nodded to Applejack, agreeing to try this method one more time, before possibly finding something else to do instead, since she really didn't how this would work. The pegasus crouched down again, jumped into the air and thrusted herself backwards again, this time putting more force into it, before she swiftly landed safely how she had started.
This time the brances of the tree shook more, and finally both of the last two remaining ripe apples fell to land in the buckets with all the others, causing the tree to now be bare of all apples. Rainbow couldn't believe it at first, but after a minutes or two of processing what just happened in her mind, she gave out a big smile, before she back flipped again happily.
"WHOO YEAH! I did it!" Dash cheered excitedly, while Applejack smiled up to the happy pegasus, glad to see that she had accomplised this without much trouble. It may not have seemed like something big, but the fact that Rainbow had cooperated so well, along with only complaining a little, and even when it did seem like she had given up, she came back and tried again, something Applejack never thought the stubborn peagsus would actually do, after all she wasn't normally one for giving things a second chance, especially when it involved something to do with the ponies of this town. Maybe this proved that she really was willing to make a change.
... ...
Morning was now slowly starting to turn into early afternoon, as Applejack watched Rainbow Dash find trees that were ready for bucking, and did backflips on top of them, happily smiling to herself when she was able to make more then two or three apples fall, trying to put more force into it everytime, in order to maybe cause more of the apples to drop.
The farm pony thought she would be helping the pegasus along, but Rainbow looked so engorssed in what is was doing, Applejack decided to just leave her to it, besides it was nice to take a break and let somepony else do the work sometimes.
Twilight came walking over to Applejack, as she stood next to her and watched Rainbow at work, smiling when she saw how much fun the pegasus looked like she was having.
"I'm glad you were able to get through to her Applejack, there was one point where I thought she was going to just give up and go home, but you were able to convince her to try again, not only that, but you also came up with a way that she could bring her flying into this, and I can't thank you enough for that," Twilight smiled as she looked to Applejack.
"It was no problem really, I was quite surprised to see how well she was going along with everything, to be honest I thought she would have given up when she realized she couldn't do it the way I was, but she kept at it. I guess Rarity wasn't kidding when she said that she was 'A changed pony', " Applejack thought out loud with a smile back to the Princess, not knowing what the alicorn had done to make the strong willed pegasus change her ways, but being glad for it anyway.
"Hey Applejack, if you don't mind me asking, what was Rainbow Dash like with you before the separation?" Twilight asked, feeling a little nervous to ask a question like this, since it may have been a topic that the farm pony didn't want to talk about.
"She wasn't all that nice, like she is now. She would call me a few names, make fun of ma accent, tease me about a few things, and occasionally take food from ma stand at the market without paying for it, she would play it off as some prank, but it would get pretty annoying a lot of the time," Applejack explained, remembering how annoying the cyan pegasus used to be, nothing like how she seemed now.
Twilight looked interested as she wanted to hear more about what her marefriend used to be like, and guessed those so-called 'pranks' were probably what caused many of the ponies to say that some of the pegasi would steal their food. Pegasi like Rainbow Dash may have seen it as just a harmless prank, but it was of course more serious to the ponies of Ponyville, after all it was their food that they were taking.
"Ya know when I think about it, we didn't really hate each other, we just never got along all that well. Rarity and her were the ones that were always arguing about something or other, I would half the time find myself breaking the two up back then, and often times Rainbow would be the one that started it," Applejack added as she thought about the bad relationship Rarity and Rainbow used to have, whether it was still there or not, it was too early to tell.
"Yeah I can see I might just have a problem there," Twilight smiled as she thought of how much of a challenge Rarity just might be, and although Rarity might be civil about things, there's no saying that Rainbow would do the same.
"Well I'll wish ya and Rainbow the best of luck then," Applejack smiled to the Princess, knowing that getting Rainbow and Rairty to somehow spend time with each other would most certainly not be easy.
"Thank you Applejack," Twilight replied to the farm pony, before Applejack called over to Rainbow Dash, and caused her to stop what she was doing.
"Rainbow, don't ya think it's time for a break?" Applejack called to the pegasus, as Rainbow looked over to the other two mares, and agreed, happily getting the last few apples down from the tree she was standing on top of, before she quickly flew over to the other two ponies.
Rainbow Dash landed to stand beside Twilight, while she looked to Applejack, and looked like she was about to say something, but the farm pony spoke up and cut her off before she had the chance to open her mouth.
"Well howdy there partner ma name's Applejack, welcome to Ponyville," Applejack introduced herself, as she smiled to Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow looked a little confused as she looked to Applejack, glanced to Twilight, and then looked back to Applejack again, not sure how to react to the farm pony randomly introducing herself when the pegasus already knew who she was.
Twilight was a little lost as well at first, until she thought about it for a minute, and then caught on to what the farm pony was doing, and told Rainbow Dash to introduce herself as well.
"Why?" Rainbow looked confused still, while she questioned the Princess, before Twilight just gestured for her to do as she had said. "Okay, my name's Rainbow Dash,"
"It's mighty nice to meet ya Rainbow Dash," Applejack nodded as she greeted the pegasus kindly.
Rainbow's eyes widened a little as she realized what it was that the farm pony was doing, by pretending that this was the first time the two had met, she wasn't making up with the pegasus, she was starting a new instead, just like Rainbow and Twilight had wanted.
"Nice to meet you too, Applejack," Rainbow smiled as she greeted Applejack back in the same kind tone the farm pony had used.
"Thanks for helping me out by the way, it was nice to actually take a break and let somepony else do ma work for me for once,"
"Oh it was nothing, I found it to be quite fun actually," Rainbow replied as the two smiled to each and chuckled slightly, while Twilight sighed happily and smiled to Rainbow finally starting to get along with Applejack now.
Today couldn't have gone better to be honest when Twilight thought about it, now all who was left was Rairty, however the Princess knew she no doubt would have more of a differculty with getting Rainbow Dash to actually spend some time with the high class unicorn, without the two getting into some sort of argument. But that was a problem for another day, for now the alicorn would rejoice in the success of how this plan had turned out. Now if only all her other plans could end with the same result, then everything would be great.
