The scent of frying hay-bacon, coffee, and oats filled her senses as she rolled over in bed. Pulling the covers over her head and wrapping her wings around her chest. It's too early mom, let me sleep another five or ten hours. Rainbow Dash thought.

Sitting up she pushed the covers off her body and looked around at her room in a confused panic. It was just how it was supposed to be, cloud walls and floors, a ceiling fan that always was on low and basic furnishings. Did last night really happen? She thought as she looked at her blankets and bed. Her made bed. She’d never have woken up in a bad so nicely fitted after a dream of sex, especially. Then, there was the food she smelled.

Flying downstairs, Rainbow Dash entered the kitchen to see Applejack wearing an apron, Rainbow Dash’s favorite apron that said 'Too awesome to cook', and putting some crispy hay onto a plate with two eggs and some squash warm squash.

"Dashalicious, breakfast is served."

"Dashalicious? Seriously?" Rainbow Dash frowned as she took her seat at her table while Applejack placed a plate in front of her, beside a bowl of hot oats.

"Well, we’re a couple now, so I get to choose your nickname. You can call me Awesome-jack," she said with a giggle as she kissed Rainbow Dash on her cheek. Rainbow didn’t flinch away to both their interest.

"Woah, woah, woah. I am not calling you ‘Awesome-anything’, I'm the awesome one."

"Well, that's not what ya said when ya passed out last night after what I did to ya. I even saw a tear leave your eye when you were sleeping," Applejack teased.

"You did not. It might have been awesome but I didn't-"

"Awesome, ya say? Sounds like you agree with me. Now eat yer veggies 'fore they get cold," Applejack said with a warm smile and the confidence she usually had. With a frown, Rainbow Dash furrowed her brow as she took a bite then softened her expression as she bit into the hay bacon. The flavor filled her senses with smoky crispy crunchy hay flavor that made her smile and moan softly, then she took a nibble of the squash and flashed back to the night before and blushed as she gulped. A whimper escaped her as her clit tingled at the memory of the previous night.

"Dashalicious you make the cutest noises."

Snapping back to reality, Rainbow Dash quickly took a few more bites of the food on her plate to satiate her surprising appetite. "Well after what you, we, did... I'll admit it took a lot out of me. I haven't really had one like that before, but I-"

“You never? Rainbow Dash, do you even let them colts ride you for yer own pleasure, or just theirs?”

Rainbow licked her lips, a sad expression crossed her features. “I didn’t know it could feel that good, I don’t know if most mares get there or not. Stallions just get there so quick and that leaves me to finish myself after they fall asleep or one of us leaves… and it’s not nearly as good, I guess.” Applejack shook her head as she took her seat and looked at Rainbow Dash.

"Applejack?"

"Awesome-Jack ya mean," she said with a smirk as she chewed her first bite of oats..

"I am not calling you that,” Rainbow frowned, “how are we gonna explain us to everypony? And, well, are you sure you wanna be with me? Twilight's always staying I've got to many branches and that pushes ponies away. Not to mention that I’ve got a reputation to uphold and you’ve got your family."

"Ah say we take it as it comes. Ain’t no reason ta go spillin’ our personal lives to anypony that comes by, just like before. Now, I have an idea quick. C'mon, Sugarcube, I wanna show you somethin' I learned when I was younger," Applejack said as she stood and walked out of the kitchen, a sway in her hips that Rainbow hadn’t noticed before now.

With a gulp Rainbow Dash hesitantly followed Applejack back to the bedroom.

Rainbow winced and pulled back as Applejack’s rear dropped from her efforts and for a moment the petite pegasus was worried she’d done something wrong, or even hurt Applejack during her first act of cunnilingus. The whinney and natural humping motion Applejack was making cleared up that worry quickly.

She fell to her side, panting and gleeful she was able to make Applejack cum and only had to be told what to do a little at the start. Before she knew it Applejack was stuffing her muzzle under Rainbow’s tail. With a startled yelp she moved to get away from the sudden tickle attack she thought she was getting, but then the tongue moving inside her reminded her of where she was and what was happening.

A soft hoof began to run her blue pussy and she lay on her side, curled her rear legs to her body, and let Applejack work her magic.

...

Rainbow Dash was catching her breath and laying on Applejack’s chest, listening to their hearts rapidly beating in succession. Rainbow licked her muzzle and sniffed, the scent and flavor of Applejack was very ‘appley’ to her, that was the only way she could describe it. But the hint of something else was tickling the back of her mind as to what it was.

Flowers? Oats? Fries? Hay burgers?! No… what is that? she wondered to herself as the extra flavor and scent eluded her. Finally she gave up and returned her thoughts to the moment.

“Whew... that was, amazing. I think, I think I like this a lot more than what stallions can do. I, have a question, AJ.”
“Ah’m gonna pretend that means Awesome-Jack. What’s up, sugar plum?”

Rainbow Dash scrunched her nose at the thought of Applejack being more awesome at anything than her. “I was gonna ask if I could know a few other mares like you. Like us. Ones that are in Ponyville,” Rainbow Dash asked.

“You wanna try them out too?” she teased. “You gotta give me a kiss first.”

Rainbow sat up and looked at Applejack She looked at Applejacks smile and listened to the air huffing into and out of her nose as she looked back at her. “I don’t know, AJ. I’m not comfortable kissing my best friend.”

Applejack looked over Rainbow Dash with those soft, deep green eyes. “Rainbow Dash, ya don’t hafta think of me as yer best friend anymore. Ah think we’re going to a place beyond that. We’re still bearers of the elements of harmony and teammates with the others, but, now it’s something more. More than any other mare’n our group can understand.” Applejack’s eyes darted aside, which Rainbow Dash noticed.

“AJ, what was that?”

“What, Dashalicious?”

“Don’t call me that, what are you hiding?” Rainbow sat up with a sly smirk.

“Sugarcube, can’t we just-”

“No. What was that look? Soarin gave me the same look after we had sex, when he had to go to ‘practice’ early. What’re you hiding?” Rainbow Dash had her forelegs crossed and was wearing a stern look.

Applejack sighed. ”Well, Twi and me were-”

“You and Twilight Sparkle?! This can not be happening. Did you two do it right after you left last night? Or this morning when I was sleeping? Or are you going to see her when I go to work?" Rainbow turned away, wrapping her wings around her body, "Get out AJ! You’re not going to use me like everypony else. I won’t let you.”

Applejack wrapped her forelegs around Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash was softly crying as she tried to get out of Applejacks grasp.

“Dash! Dash. Rainbow Dash,” Applejack said softly, controlling herself, “I don’t love her, I love you.” Rainbow Dash stopped struggling suddenly.

No pony has ever said those words to me. Except my parents, of course.

“What?” Rainbow Dash turned and craned her neck to look at Applejack.

“Rainbow Dash. I love you, and Ah have for a very long time. Ah was gonna tell you about me and Twi later, when we were more solid in our relationship. Yes, we hooked up for a while but, you know her; it’s always ‘study’ this ‘test’ that and ‘Celestia.’ You don’t know how bad it is when you’re goin’ at it and somepony calls out the name of a Princess just cuz she forgot to dot a ‘j’ in a report,” Applejack was scowling at the memory, “then up and leaves ya high’n dry to go over papers.

“And when you plan something special for a week and tell her all about it, then she doesn’t show cuz she was makin’ a checklist of what to do next time she’s in bed. Listing moves and positions that work best for her in numbered order that, if I didn’t follow, we’d have to start over or go over the bucking list to see if we could work it in later.

“Six months, Dash. Six months and we made love twenty two times. She kept a log of them, Ah found out. She has notes and logbooks on our entire relationship hid in the basement of the library, in that sciency room. She won’t show me where cuz she knows I’d burn ‘em soon as read ‘em."

Rainbow was about to make a joke but the look on Applejack's face said that was the wrong thing to do.

“Sugar, I only wanted you for so long, at the least to hold you in a hug that lasted more than a few seconds and without another friend there too. You’re the perfect mare fer me; you’re strong, funny, energetic, and you love a challenge.” Applejack ran her hoof through Rainbow’s mane as she spoke and never broke eye contact. “Yer beautiful and kind, you represent loyalty and, well, what’s loyalty without honesty?”

“AJ, I, I don’t know what to say. That’s the most awesome thing I’ve ever heard anypony say in the history of Equestria.” she paused to savor the feeling of her mane being brushed with a hoof. “I’m not ready to say that I love you. You understand right?” Applejack nodded and sighed.“But I do love your friendship! I love your challenges and your strength. I love how you’re awesome, even when you don’t try to be.” Leaning in, Rainbow Dash kissed Applejack on her nose then looked at the window. “AJ, it’s a beautiful day; let’s go race somewhere.”

“Oh, Ah don’t know. I’m kinda sore,” Applejack said as she grabbed the sheets behind her covertly, “and I don’t know if it’s a good idea for-” Applejack threw the sheet over Rainbow Dash and held her down as she tied the ends together shouting a hearty ‘yee-haw.’

“Race you to the balloon!”

“No fair! I, can’t, move!”

Shouting from the stairs Applejack gloated. “No excuses, sleepy head, first to the ground in the balloon wins.” The front door slammed and Rainbow’s ears perked. Her heart raced and she grinned.

Fighting her best to get free Rainbow Dash shouted in frustration as she opened her wings and threw open the sheet, freeing herself. She quickly flew to the front door and upon opening the door she flew into Applejack’s open forelegs with a heavy ‘oof’. They fell onto the clouds which puffed and absorbed the force of their fall.

Applejack pulled Rainbow Dash into a passionate kiss before the blue mare could stop flapping her wings. Her ruby red eyes locked onto Applejack’s deep green eyes as she fell into the sensation and feeling of kissing as the clouds wafted over them they closed their eyes.

I love you too, Applejack. I’ll say it someday out loud to you. I Pinkie promise.
