At The Gala

Author: Zachary Abbott

Applejack was taking a lazy stroll home from Ponyville hospital, the soft flickering light from the lanterns lining the street bounced off of her brilliant emerald eyes, she stopped upon walking past a certain lantern; what was wrong with her today she mused. First she had kissed Rainbow Dash her best friend, her rival (and liked it) and now she was stopping to look at lights. She let out a small chuckle.

She drifted off into a daydream and the gentle flicker of the flame fuelling the inner workings of her imagination, she loved how it seemed that the magical flame danced; she never let anyone know it but Applejack loved to dance and often dreamed of dancing with somepony else... a lover... the pony of her dreams. The setting would always be the same: she would be at the gala in a beautiful dress, strapless, silk with a healthy dosage of glitter when suddenly the crowd would split and a beautifully woven red carpet would form beneath her feet, she would look down and follow the carpet as it magically formed below her, she would follow it all the way to a pony who stood at the end of the carpet.

Shyly she would begin to walk up to the pony admiring the golden filigree that had been painstakingly woven into the carpet just for her, she would feel like a princess and when she would look up she would be a hairs width away from the pony of her dreams feeling each loving breath hit her face, her heart would be pounding and feel as though it was about to burst out of her chest, she would stare deep into the ponies luscious purple eyes and would see them speaking to he as if to say: I love you, and I will never leave you... because you are everything to me. The two would dance elegantly around the ball room’s polished marble floor for a few minutes. Finishing they would share a deep passionate kiss before waking up hot and sweaty in her bed.

The moment she woke up she would forget everything about the pony, remembering only the deep amethyst eyes she adored so much and the feeling of its lips on hers. She started to think of her dreams; clothed in her friend Rarity’s crown jewel, her most perfect creation she began to walk through the progressively spreading crowd who all gasped in awe at the stunning earth pony who so gallantly walked before them, her hooves traced gracefully along the floor making no noise when they touched the ground, her green silk dress gracing the ground that it dragged over, it felt as if butterflies were fluttering in her stomach which complimented her heart which now felt lighter than air.

The maelstrom of feelings now urging within her was causing her to panic, her breathing was now speeding up and getting heavier, with a thousand eyes all fixated on her she couldn’t run, she looked around frantically for a reason to get out of the predicament she was in, scanning around the room in dismay she desperately tried to find a scapegoat until she locked eyes with Twilight who was sporting a tempting purple gown which swayed over her right flank as to leave her cutie mark exposed. She stared at Applejack in content and gave her a slight nod in reassurance. Quickly collecting herself and regaining her composure Applejack continued to walk down the aisle her eyes staring at the floor as to not make eye contact with the pony at the end or anyone else for that matter. Applejack was proud and it was unlike her to shy away from any form of confrontation but when it came to romance she had no confidence whatsoever. She walked.

“One foot in front of the other” She thought “Just one after the other” as she put her last foot down she closed her eyes and felt it make contact with that of another, her eyes shot open and she stepped back, still looking down she stated “Oh, ahm sorry” What was this she thought as she rubbed her eyes to make sure that she wasn’t just dreaming “a blue hoof with a gold shoe... but that’s”. Her head bolted upwards so she was now looking at her companion it the face; her jaw dropped, Rainbow looked stunning: accompanying her usual golden shoes and headwear she was wearing a beautiful Rainbow dress that matched her mane and tail, the body of the gown flowed seamlessly along her athletes figure and on the chest piece of the dress was a small red rose. Applejack was stunned.

Rainbow dash was the first to make the step forward snapping Applejack out of her ‘fantasy’, she lowered her head, took the rose out of her dress and firmly placed in Applejacks hair. She offered her hoof. Applejack paused; this wasn’t like Rainbow: polite, elegant and... Beautiful she trailed. She knew she shouldn’t accept the hoof but she was curious to explore both hers and Rainbows feelings. She was confused.

Rainbow was quick to take the lead, she pulled Applejack up onto two hooves and guided her along the room. Applejack was a simple farm pony, as strong and graceful as an ox, she cringed as she struggled to follow the most simply of steps and she hid her eyes away from Rainbow. They stopped. Rainbow put her hoof under her chin just like she had in the hospital and motioned her head upwards very gently until she was looking her in the eyes. She spoke softly.

“Hey Applejack come on, not everyone’s brilliant at dancing” She offered a sweet smile that said more to Applejack than a thousand of the most passion soaked words could possibly hope of ever expressing “Just put your hands here” Rainbow guided her hands down to her waist, Applejack blushed “and keep looking into my eyes.

Beginning to dance again Applejack instantly got into the rhythm of things, mirroring Rainbow’s movements perfectly, like two pieces of a jigsaw they moved across the floor elegantly, never breaking eye contact, not even once.

She stared into Rainbow’s deep amethyst eyes and saw the culmination of all of the emotions she had been feeling over the past few minutes reach a peak. She was in love with her best friend Rainbow Dash!

Just as she reached this conclusion the dance was coming to a finish, Rainbow quickly leant forward, Applejack knew what was next, she closed her eyes and awaited the finish of this wonderful day dream. Rainbow leaned in slowly, savouring every second of the tender moment Applejack let out a single tear of joy. Mere centimetres away from each other and Applejack could feel both her heart and the others beating in perfect symphony, Rainbow Dash was about to lock her lips with Applejacks before shouting.

“Applejack! What are you doing outside at this time?” Yelled an over exuberant pony... it was Rainbow’s face however it was not Rainbow’s voice. Applejack immediately snapped out of her ‘fantasy’, but, the effect still lingered.

“Whoa... what’s that Rainbow?” Mused Applejack, still in a love struck gaze.

“Rainbow? I’m not Rainbow silly!”

“What?” Applejack shook her head violently, realising what she just said she blushed violently, hoping that Pinkie Pie didn’t pick up on what she said; she tipped her straw hat forward attempting to cover her soft face.

“Wait a second...” Criticised Pinkie, glaring at the straw hat “The daydreaming! Dashie!” Pinkie pie gasped a huge Pinkie gasp “you’re in love with Dashie!” she exclaimed.

“Well ah... uh, ahm just... erm” She babbled

“Thats soooooo cute! So tell me everything! Wait tell me nothing! I don’t want to spoil the surprise! But I love surprises! It’s just tha-” before she could finish the tanned pony had put a hoof to her lips. Looking around frantically, she shushed the ‘party pink’ pony.

“Sssssshhhhhhhhh not so loud sugercube... ah don’t know rightly what ahm feeling right now” She sighed “ah just need someone to talk to” Pouted Applejack.

“Oh” the life from Pinkies voice was suddenly lower and carried a more serious demeanour “well I mean, I can’t say that I’m surprised that you’re falling for Dashie”

“Say what now Pinkie?” She questioned. Cocking her head to the side and raising an eyebrow in confusion.

“I mean, she’s pretty, feisty, just like you. You two are just the perfect pair” She beamed.

“Yeah...I guess so” Applejack begrudgingly admitted under her breath.

“You’d never be done with a pony that has that amount of energy I mean just imagine how long she could *ahem* go for” She mused, Applejacks eyes closed halfway,  lust beginning to get the better of her.

“Yeah...” She sighed as her blonde tail began to raise.

“And I mean just imagine all the things she could do with those wings, I mean just imagine how those soft feathers would feel running along your skin, caressing your curves and teasing your senses with even the briefest touch” Pinkie grinned (Pinkie knew exactly what she was doing... Applejack was putty in her hooves.)

“Mmmmm” She moaned, her breathing becoming heavier as she felt her sex tingle.

“and just think about her figure, it’s so slender and athletic, *heh* she’s definitely got stamina and, I bet she’s pretty good too- if you know what I mean” This was all too much for Applejack who had subconsciously began to rub herself with the underside of her tail, if she closed her eyes she could just imagine her fine feathered friend  tracing her gorgeous hoof around her slit forcing immense amounts of pleasure to ricochet through her body. For some reason this thought made her incredibly wet. The rest of the world was beginning to fade into a blur and pinkies voice simply faded into the gentle wind that brushed past the two ponies.

Applejack only snapped out of this pleasure induced state when pinkie let out a sharp giggle.

“Hahaha, and then I said out meal are you crazy!”

“Heh listen Pinkie, as helpful as this was ah just gotta go... now” She said before darting aff as an orange blur.

“Ha... oatmeal... works every time” She stated in a victorious manner.

Applejack began to sprint home the image of the cyan Pegasus the only thing on her mind. Faster. Her mind was screaming at her “The faster you get home the faster it will be over with”.Faster. She was now really pushing herself, forcing her muscles into overdrive she could see her house and it was getting closer, very quickly.

She couldn’t help herself after that encounter with pinkie she just wanted to be with Rainbow, to feel her fur against her own and to feel the warm embrace of those beautiful cyan wings wrapped around her body. All she could do was run.

The house was within spitting distance as she slammed her four hooves into the ground and got ready for the sprint up the stairs, she was panting hard and her muscles were aching but that didn’t matter to her now, all that mattered was satiating her lust.

Without speaking a word to her family she bolted through the door and Ran up the stairs into her Bedroom “a shower” she thought as she hurriedly ran round the corner of the room into the while tile shower. The lock clicked.

Ok guys I think that came out well, I believe the emotions carried were what I was aiming for however I feel I must apologize for the ending... it was rushed. I was trying to write this before I went to my aeronautical engineering lecture so there won’t be much of an authors note.

Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia we all love you. :3

Thanks for reading and please feel free to drop me a review cos I really do care and I would like to see where you want this story to go from here.  I love you guys (in a friends way so don’t go rolling up to my house asking for sex). Over and out.

Sincerely.
