Spike grabbed his microphone and introduced the next competitors. "Next up, we have Applejack, the earth pony that many consider to be a contender to win the entire contest, up against Flitter, a pegasus originally from Cloudsdale, but who made Ponyville her home five years ago."

Applejack stepped into the arena and Spike continued. "Applejack has strength on her side. Her experience rounding up animals has won her the Ponyville rodeo championships six times running, and she's picked up medals at the All-Equestria rodeo championships too." Applejack's face twitched at the mention of her participation in those particular games. It still hurt that she hadn't won a single blue ribbon. "But will her success in the rodeo ring translate to success in the bed? Will all that experience bucking make her better at--"

"Hkh-hmm!" Big Mac coughed. Spike looked round to see the large red stallion standing right behind him, looking down at the little dragon menacingly.

"I mean… I… I'm sure we all hope she does really well," Spike continued quietly, backing away from Applejack's brother.

Flitter walked nervously in from the side entrance. Spike put on his confident voice again. "Flitter might not be seeded as highly as her sister, but she may still prove to be a bit of a challenge for Applejack. She might not have the most wingpower of any pegasus in Ponyville…" Spike looked towards Thunderlane, who was sitting in the audience with his younger brother. "And she might not have the most speed…" He looked towards Rainbow Dash, who was still cleaning up her face. "But her flight dexterity and control are unrivalled." Flitter smiled with pride at the announcement. "Of course, as Applejack isn't a pegasus, flight will not be allowed in this round." Flitter suddenly looked deflated. Spike cleared his throat. "Let's hope she's as good on the ground as she is in the air. Anyway, let the round commence!"

In the spectator stands, a nervous Apple Bloom sat down next to one of her class mates. "That's mah sister up there," she whispered. "And my babysitter," whispered the grey pegasus colt beside her. Rumble scooted a little closer to the filly.

Elsewhere, bits were changing hands as ponies placed bets on the competitors. Most ponies had their money on Applejack, but several bets had been placed on Flitter, with ponies attracted by the long odds against her, and the potential for a big pay-off if she won.

Both competitors looked at Princess Cadence, who merely nodded her head silently. Applejack stood by one side of the bed, hat still on her head, and Flitter stood on the other. Applejack started circling the bed clockwise, with Flitter doing the same, not willing to come into direct conflict with her opponent straight away. Applejack stopped and moved the opposite way, and Flitter did the same, a bead of nervous sweat running from her brow and down her face.

Applejack stopped again. "Well come on, sugar cube, we can't do this all day." She started circling again. Flitter did too. Applejack sped up, and Flitter matched her speed.

Suddenly Applejack lunged across the bed, making a grab for the mare on the other side, but her hooves clutched the air as Flitter darted out of the way. Applejack's hat fell across her face and she lost sight of the pegasus. With a hoof, she brushed her hat aside and it fell to the floor. Where had Flitter gone?

Applejack felt two hooves on her flank and her head snapped round to see Flitter standing behind her, grasping it tight. She tried turning around, but Flitter clung on and stayed behind her. Flitter licked her lips and bent down towards Applejack's rump.

"Flitter takes a surprise early advantage," announced Spike. "It looks like this will be a two horse race after all!"

Applejack felt the pegasus's raspy tongue on her marehood and wondered how the mare had managed to hoodwink her already. She tried turning around again, but Flitter was holding on tight. Nopony could beat her with a lasso, but maybe at next year's rodeo, she'd have competition for the bucking bronco. Bucking! Why didn't I think of that earlier?! Then it dawned on Applejack that she couldn't just buck Flitter away — it would probably damn near kill her, and even if Applejack was comfortable with that, which she wasn't, she'd be sure to be disqualified. No, the only way she'd get rid of Flitter would be to shake her off.

And she'd have to do it soon, because she could feel herself starting to get wet from the pegasus's firm but gentle attention.

Applejack moved her hips from side to side, trying to shake Flitter off, but only succeeded in grinding her marehood against the pegasus's muzzle, with Flitter's nose rubbing against that sensitive spot between Applejack's pussy and plothole. Applejack drew breath sharply. No, no, this couldn't be happening! Applejack tried thinking unsexy thoughts. Mucking out the pig sty. Giving Granny Smith a hooficure! That seemed to help a little, but not enough — Flitter's mouth was relentless, her tongue flicking up and down Applejack's slit before sinking deep into her foalhole.

Applejack wriggled and managed to shake herself free from Flitter's face, but still the pegasus pony clung on to Applejack's flank with her hooves. How can I get her off before she gets me off?

Flitter tried to line her face up with Applejack's pussy again, but the mare moved too quickly, shaking her flank left and right. She went in again, but got butted in the face — literally — and nearly bit her tongue. She needed to find a better way to access Applejack's rear end without it being constantly moved away from her.

Having a great idea, Flitter jumped up, being careful to resist her natural urge to use her wings, twisted in the air, and landed on Applejack's back, her head over Applejack's tail end. She clung on as Applejack tried to buck her off. She used one hoof to reach back and unfasten her ribbon, her long mane falling free around her shoulders, then wound the ribbon around one hoof, and under Applejack's belly before clasping it with her other hoof to fasten herself to Applejack's back.

"Now, that was a surprise move," announced Spike. "Anyone who put a bet on Applejack, don't start counting your winnings just yet."

Now Applejack could kick all she wanted, but Flitter was securely on the earth pony's back. She bent her neck to deliver another sloppy kiss to Applejack's marehood only to discover a new problem — Applejack's tail was in the way, and she didn't have a hoof free to move it. Before she could think of a solution, Flitter had another problem: her own marehood was pressed up against the back of Applejack's neck, and Applejack was taking full advantage of this.

Applejack strained her neck, looking up to the roof of the tent and twisting her head from side to side. The back of her neck and her long blonde ponytail rubbed between Flitter's legs, stimulating her pussy.

Flitter blushed as she felt herself starting to get turned on by the tickling of Applejack's mane on her pussy lips. She felt Applejack's strong neck grinding against the length of her pussy, including her little pink clit. Flitter bit her lip and tried to concentrate on using her muzzle to shove Applejack's tail out of the way, but the mane against her pussy proved quite a distraction. Finally she managed to get her tongue into Applejack's pink slit and started working it up and down, seeking out Applejack's clit.

The two ponies were working themselves into a frenzy, Applejack using the back of her neck to rub Flitter's crotch, and Flitter using her mouth to lick and suck Applejack's pussy. Flitter felt her wings begin to involuntarily twitch. Applejack could feel herself start to get warm and tingly and knew she needed to find a way to get Flitter off her perch.

Without warning, Applejack fell hard onto the bed, rolling over, and finally freeing herself from Flitter's forceful oral fucking. Flitter's pink ribbon fluttered to the ground. Stunned by the sudden turn of events, Flitter lay supine on the bed, her wings outstretched beneath her. Applejack pounced on the mare, pinning her down to the bed with her powerful hooves.

"A nice move from Applejack," Spike said over the public address system. "She's giving us a demonstration of why she's one of the favourites to win this contest."

Realizing her vulnerable position, Flitter squirmed, trying to free herself from Applejack who had managed to hold her down by the wings firmly enough to stop her getting up, but gently enough to not cause any pain or discomfort. If anything, the hooves on her wings felt nice. It was almost as if Applejack had practised this a lot before. Flitter fluttered her wings, but it was no use — she was stuck.

Applejack smirked at the pegasus and lowered her head to Flitter's neck, kissing and nibbling it. Flitter felt something between her legs and looked down to see Applejack's back hoof rubbing her pussy. She shivered and tried to push Applejack's hoof away, but the earth pony was far too strong.

The hoof slipped between her pussy lips and Flitter felt it rubbing against her clit. Applejack doesn't waste time. She tried to squeeze her legs together, but Applejack's strong back legs kept them apart. Applejack kissed Flitter's cheek and gently bit her ear before whispering, "come now, pretty, you know you want to."

Applejack's mouth moved on to the base of Flitter's wings, delivering kisses and licks to all the most sensitive parts of them.

Flitter tried to roll her hips to the side, but it was no use — Applejack had her completely trapped. Applejack slid her hoof up and down Flitter's slit, pushing the end gently into her wet foalhole and fucking Flitter with just the tip of her hoof. Flitter sighed when it went in and moaned when Applejack started moving it slowing in and out. Flitter's front hooves grasped at the bedsheets beneath her, now resigned to what was going to happen — she was going to lose.

Flitter's breath became heavy and irregular. She gasped as Applejack's hoof found her clit again, flicking it up and down. Applejack leaned to her ear again and whispered, "come now, you're nearly there Ra-- I mean, Flitter. Why don't you cum for me?"

Flitter closed her eyes and started involuntarily bucking her hips against Applejack's hoof. Great, so I'm finally able to move, and this is what I do. But she couldn't help it; she was being driven crazy with pleasure and she knew there was no way to stop it. Her pussy felt a desire to be filled and she knew she needed Applejack's hoof to fill it. "O-oh! Don't stop!" she breathed quietly. What the buck did I just say?! Flitter's cheeks turned as pink as her ribbon.

Flitter couldn't help thinking about her sister, Cloudchaser. She was in this contest too. Would it be like this for her Ceecee? Would she, too, have to deal with the humiliation of her body betraying her to her rival? Flitter thought about her sister being in the same situation as she was.

Flitter's breathing became a heavy pant. Her heart raced. Her thighs started quivering. Her wing muscles pumped, but her wings were unable to move. She felt her pussy tingling, and the tingles started moving up her back and down her legs like electricity. "Good girl, just let it all go," Applejack purred into her ear. And so she did.

Flitter squealed as a wave of pleasure swept her body. The tingles reached her hooves, her ears, her nose… all of her extremities. She shivered as ripple after ripple of bliss washed over her and the tension that had been building up in her loins melted away into a soft warm fuzzy feeling.

And before she knew it, Flitter was free. Applejack had released her. Not that she was any more able to move now than when Applejack had been pinning her down — she was a quivering wreck. Slowly she caught her breath, and started to become aware of the world around her; the noise of the crowd, and the sound of the announcer.

"… And the winner of this round is Applejack!" said Spike, speaking into his microphone.

Apple Bloom threw her hooves around Rumble to hug him in celebration. "Your sister did good," said Rumble. He finally managed to pluck up the courage to ask what he'd been wanting to ask ever since he'd taken a seat next to Apple Bloom. "So," he asked in as casual a voice as he could manage, "are you competing in the junior division?"

Apple Bloom let go of Rumble and looked at him, her head hanging low. "No," she sighed, "they don't allow blank flanks. Something to do with 'em not wantin' us to discover our very special talent during the contest and end up with a, y'know, for a cutie mark."

"Oh," said Rumble, disappointed that he wouldn't get a chance to see the cute earth pony filly in the ring. "I'm sure you'd do just as well as your big sister. Better, maybe."

Apple Bloom beamed. "Really?!" she asked. The colt eagerly nodded. "Wanna see if I can do better?" she asked, fluttering her eyelids at him before walking off towards the exit.

Rumble sat in shocked silence for a moment. He looked up at his brother seeking permission to leave. Thunderlane, who had heard everything just nodded, and Rumble galloped after Apple Bloom as fast as his hooves could carry him.

Flitter pulled herself up off the bed and stepped away from the sticky patch of her own marecum. She saw Applejack sitting next to Rainbow Dash on the bench, laughing and joking with her. Another mare through to the next round. Still, I didn't make it easy for her. I can walk away with my head held high. And that's precisely what she did.

Author's Notes:

I did this one! I did this one!

I wanted to write the Applejack x Flitter round all along, but reluctantly assigned it to one of the other contributors. Luckily he pulled out, so I ended up being able to write it myself. ~yay!

Did you pay attention to what Apple Bloom was saying? I have plans for a foalcon spin-off, but I need more collaborators to get it started! PM me if you're interested in volunteering.

Anyway, next up: Colgate Minuette -vs- Fluttershy.
