Chapter 23

"Applejack! Hey Applejack, come on, wake up!" Rainbow Dash said excitedly as she whizzed back and forth across their bedroom. Applejack stirred, turned onto her back and slowly opened her eyes. She smiled and chuckled quietly to herself.

"Well hang me up by my hind legs and peg me with apples." Applejack said, the smile not leaving her face. "You're actually wakin' me up this time." The farm mare shook her head and got out of the bed and proceeded to begin making it.

"Well, I can't help it!" Rainbow said, smiling widely before giving Applejack a kiss on the cheek. "I'm excited!"

"Gee, Ah would never have guessed that." Applejack said with a raised eyebrow, smoothing out the sheet on the mattress. She sighed and looked behind her at the window, expecting to see sunlight. Instead she saw only darkness. "Uh...Dash?"

"Yeah?" Rainbow said, moving her saddle bag to rest beside the doorframe.

"What time is it?" Applejack asked.

"Uhm....I think it's sometime after six thirty..." Rainbow said with a nervous laugh, rubbing the back of her head. "I didn't know when the carriage was gonna get here, okay?" Applejack sighed and put a hoof on her forehead before shaking her head.

"Oh, wow." Applejack said.

"What?" Rainbow said, raising an eyebrow.

"Rarity told me that the carriage is arriving at ten this morning, and Ah told ya that last night before we went to bed." Applejack explained.

"No you didn't." Rainbow said plainly.

"Yes Ah did." Applejack countered.

"Seriously, you didn't tell me that." Rainbow said.

"Ah'm tellin' ya Ah did." Applejack said, furrowing her eyebrows and stepping forward.

"And I'm telling you," Rainbow said, also stepping forward. "you didn't."

"Ah said before we went to sleep, and Ah quote, 'The carriage is comin' at ten'!" Applejack said, a frown forming on her face.

"Think about it, Applejack!" Rainbow responded. "I'm me. Do you honestly think that I would have gotten up this early if I had known we wouldn't have to leave until ten?"

"Ah don't mean it like that." Applejack said.

"And what did you mean, Applejack?" Rainbow asked.

"Ah'm merely suggestin' that ya forgot." Applejack said.

"Seriously?!" Rainbow asked. "Please tell me you're joking."

"No, Rainbow, Ah'm serious, Ah-" Applejack stopped herself, her expression softening and her eyes widening, a look of guilt forming in her eyes. "Rainbow, what are we doin'?" Rainbow noticed this and immediately dropped her expression of anger.

"...What do you mean?" Rainbow asked, her voice softening as well.

"Why the hay are we fightin' right now?" Applejack asked. "We just got married last night." Rainbow thought to herself for a few moments.

"Well, I guess passions are just high." Rainbow said. "We both didn't get much sleep last night, so I can see how we'd both be slightly irritable."

"Rainbow, Ah'm sorry." Applejack said guiltily. "Ah was too quick to the draw with ya and Ah didn't consider whether or not Ah did truly tell ya about the carriage last night."

"I'm sorry too, AJ." Rainbow replied, feeling guilty as well. "I was being too hard-headed. Maybe I did really forget."

"Let's not fight again." Applejack said with a loving smile, moving closer to Rainbow. "Our honeymoon begins today, and it's gonna be some the best time we've ever spent together." Rainbow nodded with a smile.

"Yeah!" Rainbow said. "Let's spend it happy." Rainbow then kissed Applejack lovingly on the lips, unable to keep a smile from forming. Applejack smiled into the kiss as well and separated from it.

"Ah wake up this early pretty much every mornin' anyway." Applejack said before nuzzling Rainbow. "Let's finish up makin' this bed so we can go get some breakfast, huh?"

"Sounds good to me." Rainbow said. "I'm starving." Working as a team, Rainbow and Applejack finished making the bed and moved to the kitchen. Applejack brought the ingredients to make pancake batter together in a bowl. Once she was done, she began making pancakes, filling up a plate with a stack while Rainbow sat and waited at the dining room table. The Pegasus began to whistle to herself as she looked around the room. The large window showed that the sun had come up and had begun to shine, shedding light on the land. Rainbow smiled as the warmth spilled through the window onto her.

"Well, now, Ah didn't expect to see you in here so early." Rainbow heard Granny Smith say from behind her. Rainbow turned to see her.

"Oh, hey, Granny." Rainbow said. "Yeah, I woke up a little too early. It turns out the carriage that's gonna take us to Canterlot Gardens isn't coming until ten."

"Well, that gives ya roughly three and a half hours, now don't it?" Granny Smith said. "Whatcha plannin' on doin' until then?" Rainbow Dash shrugged.

"I don't know." Rainbow said. "I guess we'll just chill here and talk. It's gonna kill me not doing anything."

"Time can be used in a number of ways, Rainbow." Granny Smith said. Applejack then came walking from the kitchen, holding a platter of flapjacks between her teeth. She smiled at seeing Granny Smith sitting at the table with Rainbow.

"Well, hey there, Granny." Applejack said with a smile. "Flapjack?"

"Don't mind if Ah do." Granny Smith said. "Just watchin' y'all last night at that party was enough to get me exhausted." Rainbow chuckled.

"Yeah, that was some party, wasn't it?" Rainbow said. "I still can't believe so many things about last night."

"Such as?" Applejack asked with a smile.

"Well, the fact the freakin' Discord showed up, for one." Rainbow said, earning giggles from Granny Smith and Applejack. "But mostly that you got Vinyl Scratch to DJ."

"Well, Ah figured Ah'd pull the wool over your eyes on that one until the reception." Applejack said. "Seemed to me that it was somethin' that woulda been better if it was a surprise."

"Well, it was." Rainbow said, swallowing a bite of her breakfast.

"It's been a while since Ah last saw Princess Celestia." Granny Smith said. "And even longer since Ah last talked to her face to face. She's such a good princess."

"Ah'm really glad she could make it." Applejack said, as she took a bite of her pancake.

"So are y'all excited?" Granny Smith asked, raising an eyebrow. "Y'all are goin' to that five-star Canterlot Gardens place for your honeymoon."

"Oh, I could not be more stoked." Rainbow said with a wide smile. "The food, the staff ready to slave away to fulfill our every last wish..."

"And there's a whole bunch of attractions around the hotel that we could do too." Applejack said. "You know Canterlot. Half of it is a tourist spot."

"Ah definitely envy y'all." Granny Smith said. "But me'n your grandpappy had a good honeymoon. Went all the way up to Fillydelphia. Found us a nice hotel and went and gambled and ate at fine restaurants..." Applejack nodded.

"Ah'm sure y'all had a great time." Applejack said with a warm smile. "Grandpappy was a good stallion."

"What was he like, Granny Smith?" Rainbow asked, smiling. "I hear Applejack talking about him a lot, but I still don't know very much at all about him."

"Rainbow, you'd love him. Oh, he was the greatest stallion Ah ever knew." Granny Smith said with a wistful smile. "Kind, generous, caring and fiercely protective of his family. He'd do anything for us. Ah remember once when Applejack was real little, she was feedin' some ducks at a pond. Well, this little filly walked up to her and pushed her down. Now, Applejack was real little, no more than three years old. Well, the other filly's father went up to Applejack and started blessin' her out because the other child fed him some story that Applejack stole her crackers. Well, my husband went right up to him and punched him so hard he fell onto his back. And the stallion was at least twenty years younger than him! Ah had to stop him from goin' further!" Granny Smith laughed, smiling in fond remembrance. "Ah will forever curse the day a heart attack took him away from us."

"That's awful." Rainbow said sadly, frowning at the old mare. "I'm so sorry."

"Enough about me, though." Granny said, her smile instantly returning. "How's it feel to be an official married couple?"

"It feels...well, it feels like we have a stronger bond than we did before." Rainbow said before looking at Applejack. The farm mare nodded.

"An unbreakable bond." Applejack said, returning the smile.

"C'mon, Dash! The carriage is waitin'!" Applejack yelled as she stood outside the carriage that had just arrived. The earth pony sighed as she looked down at the ground for a moment.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be there in a sec!" Rainbow called from their bedroom window. The Pegasus looked around their bedroom for her pet tortoise and smiled widely once she laid her eyes upon the slow moving reptile. He was en route to his food bowl for his breakfast, having woken up a few minutes prior. Rainbow cantered over to him and gently patted his shell.

"You be good, Tank. Okay? Don't get too crazy." Rainbow stopped and snickered at her words. "A tortoise getting crazy. That's ridiculous." Rainbow nuzzled the tortoise before leaving the room and stopping before Granny Smith, who had taken her usual place knitting in her rocking chair.

"Hey, Granny?" Rainbow said, earning the attention of the old mare before her. "Please be sure Tank gets to go out every day. He gets stir crazy." Granny Smith nodded.

"Alright, sweetie." Granny said before returning to her knitting. Rainbow nodded and turned to leave before stopping once more.

"Oh, and be sure to have Applebloom watch him wherever he goes if he's outside. He can get away a lot quicker than you'd think he can." Rainbow said, rubbing the back of her head.

"Okay, Rainbow." Granny Smiths said with a sigh.

"And make sure he gets only a half-cap of his reptile chow. He bloats in his shell and he gets uncomfortable." Rainbow continued.

"Rainbow, Ah got it." Granny Smith said, raising her eyebrow at Rainbow and smirking. "Get out and have some fun now." Rainbow laughed nervously and nodded.

"Right." Rainbow said before opening the door. "See ya in four days!" The pegasus left the farm house and moved toward her wife.

"About time." Applejack said with a smile. "What took ya?"

"Oh, I just had a few things to take care of." Rainbow said. "Let's hit it!" Rainbow hopped into the carriage, Applejack following suit. They both removed their saddlebags and smiled as they felt the carriage take off.

"Well we're on our way!" Applejack said, putting a fore hoof around Rainbow and kissing her on the cheek. "Are ya excited?" Rainbow nodded happily.

"Hay yeah, I am!" Rainbow said. "What do you want to do first?"

"Well, Ah was thinkin' that after we settle in, we could order some room service and take a small nap." Applejack said. "After that we could check out everything the hotel has to offer. Rarity told me everything. They got a casino, a water park, a small mall, a movie theater and three five star restaurants."

"That's gonna be a lot of money." Rainbow said.

"Rarity said that we can do a lot for free with our passes that we'll be picking up at the front desk." Applejack said with a wide smile. "We get whatever we want at any of the restaurants, free admission to the water park and a free movie at the theater. We have to pay for whatever we get at the mall or do at the casino."

"That's awesome!" Rainbow said. "And room service?"

"Absolutely free." Applejack said with a knowing smile. "And, we get the honeymoon suite on the top floor."

"Goddesses, AJ." Rainbow said. "Even after they pooled their money, this must have cost a fortune!"

"Don't Ah know it." Applejack said. "We've got some amazin' friends."

"This is going to be so awesome. And the uh...honeymoon suite." Rainbow smiled and looked up in a falsely innocent manner. "I wonder why its on the top floor."

"Ya know, that is a good question." Applejack said, going along with Rainbow's joke, rubbing her chin with a forehoof. "Perhaps its because of the pretty night sky."

"Maybe its just cool to be on top." Rainbow said, suddenly sending a devilish smirk Applejack's way, making the farm mare blush.

"There's a hot tub in the suite." Applejack said. "And a pretty large shower."

"Rarity tell you this?" Rainbow asked, raising an eyebrow. Applejack nodded.

"She's pretty savvy when it comes to that kinda stuff." Applejack said.

"I can imagine." Rainbow said before leaning in close to Applejack and kissing her on the lips. Applejack closed her eyes and removed her Stetson as she put a fore hoof around Rainbow's lower back and pulled her closer. Rainbow moved her fore hooves up Applejack's back and disconnected the kiss, holding her as closely as she possibly could.

"This is so amazin', it's like..." Applejack said, accepting a loving nuzzle from Rainbow Dash. "It's like a dream come true."

"I know." Rainbow said with a smile, putting her forehead against Applejack's. "I'm so happy that I get to share this with you."

"Ah mean, three weeks ago Ah would have never guessed in a million years that we'd be doin' this together." Applejack said. "Ah actually had a whole honeymoon planned out for us at Sweet Apple Acres." Rainbow's heart melted at hearing this and she smiled.

"Really?" Rainbow said. "Applejack, that's so sweet. And I hardly ever use the word sweet so trust me, I mean it." Applejack giggled and nodded.

"Oh no, Ah ain't questionin' whether or not ya mean it, hun." Applejack said.

"What were we gonna do?" Rainbow asked.

"Well, Ah figured that for one, we could take a few days off." Applejack said with a small chuckle. "We were gonna have a picnic in the fields like we used to, and then we were gonna go dancin' at Swingin' Manes. Then Ah was gonna take ya to Café Du Mane and sit us in the romantic part of the building...Ah know, it's all pretty lame." Applejack smirked and chuckled.

"No." Rainbow said. "Applejack, it's not. That would have been just as good as us going to do this stuff."

"Oh, come on, Dash." Applejack said. "Ah know ya don't mean that."

"Applejack, I do. Seriously." Rainbow said. "Its the thought that counts. I know that is ridiculously cliché, but that is really how I feel about it. I mean, you cared enough to take the time to plan out a honeymoon for us in Ponyville. That really does mean a lot."

"Well, at least now, we can have a proper honeymoon." Applejack said. "Golly, it's been a while since Ah've been up to Canterlot. Ah've only heard about Canterlot Gardens. Its always been that place that ya always hear so many great things about, but ya never think that you'd get to actually go there."

"And we're getting to go there in the best possible way." Rainbow said. "Gee, we're moving fast. Ponyville looks like a little toy town from here." Applejack chuckled and nodded. They both sat for a while and held each other, one mare giving the other an occasional kiss. After what seemed like five minutes, Applejack brightened up significantly.

"We're here, Dash!" Applejack said. "There's Canterlot." Rainbow smiled widely as she looked out the window at the massive city on the side of the mountain. Canterlot Gardens was visible from where they were.

"We'll be arriving in two minutes." One of the carriage operators said. "Prepare your belongings."

"Well, that was quick." Rainbow said. "Even for me. What was that, like, fifteen minutes?"

"Seems like it." Applejack said, grabbing her saddlebag. "Well, ya said it yourself. We are movin' fast." The married mares collected their belongings and waited as the carriage landed in front of the hotel.

It wasn't until Rainbow Dash and Applejack exited the carriage that they began to fully appreciate the splendor of the massive hotel. The intimidating building had a tower-like structure on one side, and a shorter, thicker structure on the other. Both were completely amazing in size and spectacle completely dwarfing any building either of them had ever seen, save for Princess Celestia's Castle. They stood, awestruck at the massive structure as the carriage began to take off behind them.

"Enjoy your stay at Canterlot Gardens." One of the operators said as they flew the carriage was flown back to where it belonged. Rainbow looked at Applejack and Applejack looked at Rainbow. Rainbow laughed as they began to move in the direction of the front door to the hotel. When they arrived inside the building, they were once again, knocked for an aesthetic loop. The massive lobby of the hotel was comparable to Princess Celestia's castle in terms of beauty, with a gigantic, beautiful ceiling painting, adorned with intricate patterns. The walls looked to be marble, and it was beautifully accentuated by the wonderful, shiny tiles on the floor. An amazingly well-sculpted fountain stood in the middle of the lobby.

Even the front desk was massive, able to fit the ten workers comfortably as they attended to their hotel guests. Rainbow Dash and Applejack approached the section of the front desk that only one pony stood at. It was a mother requesting pain medication for her son who had a migraine. After the mother received instructions to go to the gift shop, she left, allowing Applejack and Rainbow to come forward.

"Hello." The unicorn stallion behind the desk said with a kind smile. "Checking in, I presume?" Applejack nodded.

"Yes sir." Applejack said. "And Ah was told to present these passes to you." The stallion took the passes with his magic and held them before him as he read them.

"Ah, Honeymoon Suite Four." He said with a smile. "We've been expecting you. Welcome to Canterlot Gardens, Missus Applejack and Missus Rainbow Dash. Congratulations to the two of you."

"Thank you." Applejack said with a smile.

"Ditto." Rainbow said.

"I'll have a bellhop come and take your bags up." He said before presenting them both with two vouchers. "These vouchers will have to be presented to the employee present at any of the amenities that you choose to use here at Canterlot Gardens."

"Okay." Applejack said with a smile as she watched the bellhop come with a cart to take their belongings up to their room. The attendant then presented her with two card keys.

"Top floor, room four is where you'll be staying." He said with yet another smile. "Welcome to Canterlot Gardens." Applejack and Rainbow nodded at the stallion as they took their card keys and began to move through the lobby. Pleasant music played as they came to a large intersection divided by a massive atrium with the fountain in the center. Inside the atrium were several shops for things such as snacks or items of general convenience. On the right side of the atrium was the area with the mall, the casino and the restaurants. On the left was the tower that housed the hotel rooms. Rainbow and Applejack moved through the atrium toward the entrance to the tower. A large, soundproof door separated the atrium from the large hallway, and as Rainbow Dash opened it, both mares were greeted with a breeze of pleasant, cool air.

Rainbow and Applejack moved down the hall and found the elevators. They entered and before the door closed, a middle-aged couple, a pegasus and a unicorn, walked into the elevator as well. Applejack noticed she was standing by the many buttons.

"What floor?" Applejack asked.

"Twenty-three, please." The stallion said with a smile. Applejack nodded and pressed the button before pressing the button for the top floor. As the elevator began moving, the pegasus mare noticed that Applejack had pressed the top floor button.

"The honeymoon suites, huh?" She said. "Oh, I've heard they're incredible."

"Really?" Rainbow Dash said with a smile. "That's good."

"So the both of you have been married?" The stallion asked. Applejack nodded.

"Yessir!" The farm mare said with a smile.

"So where are your husbands?" He asked. Rainbow and Applejack stopped for a moment and looked at each other before looking at him. "Oh, wait...you're..." He said, gesturing to the two of them. They nodded. "Oh...Oh! I'm sorry."

"It's no big deal." Rainbow said. "We get that kind of thing a lot."

"We weren't discriminating or anything!" The mare said with a heavy blush. "We don't have any problem with fillyfoolers."

"We uh, didn't...say ya did." Applejack said with a raised eyebrow.

"I actually have a-a friend who's homosexual." The stallion said. "Nicest s-stallion you'd ever m-meet."

"It's fine, mister. Really-" Rainbow said, being interrupted by the elevator door dinging as it opened.

"Oh! Here's our floor." The stallion said with a nervous smile as they both moved quickly out of the elevator. "It's been nice talking to you!" They hurried off as if they were being chased by a pack of hungry timber wolves. After the door shut and the elevator began moving again, Rainbow snickered.

"Wow, what a couple of nutbars." Rainbow said with a smirk.

"Ah can see why they acted the way they did." Applejack said. "They've probably had a bad experience with an overly-sensitive fillyfooler couple or something. There are couples out there that would have made the biggest mess out of that simple misunderstanding."

"Well yeah, I don't doubt it." Rainbow said. "But still. It was pretty hilarious. That unicorn looked like he'd seen a ghost beating his dog or something." Applejack giggled.

"Dash, that's horrible!" Applejack said, still giggling. "It was pretty funny, though."

"Geez, fifty five floors." Rainbow said. "We'll probably be able to see half of Equestria."

"That's probably the point." Applejack said. "It's romantic." Applejack nuzzled underneath Rainbow's chin in a way that set her stomach ablaze.

"AJ, you're making it really hard to wait for tonight." Rainbow said, with a smile.

"That's the thing about teasin', sugarcube." Applejack said with a wink. "Makes it better when it actually happens." The line, striking a familiar chord in Rainbow Dash, made the pegasus blush and sigh. Applejack giggled and kissed Rainbow quickly on the lips before looking up at the floor counter. The number finally reached fifty five and the door opened to reveal a long hallway, seemingly able to fit at least fifty rooms. Yet there were only eight total for both sides of the hallway. Rainbow and Applejack moved down the hallway until they came to the last door on the left, room four. They opened the first door to reveal a second, sound-proofed door.

"Wow. That's not obvious at all." Rainbow said with a cheeky look on her face. Applejack laughed and opened the second door to reveal a room for which even the word beautiful did not do justice.

A large bed lay against the right wall. What seemed like twenty pillows lined the back of it, and rose petals were scattered around on top of it. A fillable hot tub lay across from the bed, complete with built in seats and jets. The large bathroom housed a walk in shower that could easily fit five ponies, two sinks and a beautifully constructed toilet.

"Even the toilet's beautiful." Applejack said with a chuckle. The two mares moved out of the bathroom back into the bedroom. A sliding glass door opened to reveal a large patio with a cushioned couch and an adjustable screen to block out bugs. A small locker sat outside, holding scented candles and small blankets. Rainbow and Applejack eventually moved back into the main bedroom and looked at the bed.

"You wanna get on it first?" Applejack asked.

"Uh..." Rainbow said. "But...its so nicely done."

"Yeah." Applejack said. "Ah probably couldn't even try to learn how to make our bed at home like that." Rainbow stopped herself for a moment and looked at Applejack in disbelief.

"What are we saying?!" Rainbow said. "Let's go!" The pegasus jumped into the bed and immediately relaxed with a deep sigh. Applejack shrugged and jumped onto the bed next to Rainbow Dash. Applejack could see how her wife could so easily begin to unwind. The bed was ridiculously comfortable, conforming to their body shapes and providing the most excellent level of comfort.

"Yeah, forget that room service." Rainbow said with a small smile, snuggling into Applejack. "I'll take that nap now."

"Fine with me." Applejack replied, content in her position. She held Rainbow close and they breathed together like they always did as they fell asleep, eagerly awaiting the rest of the fun they'd have at this palace of a hotel.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack walked out of the movie theater, refreshed from their nap together, buzzing about the comedy movie they had just seen. Rainbow Dash laughed as Applejack recalled one of the funniest scenes in the movie.

"Oh yeah, that was great!" Rainbow said. "I'm so glad we picked that one over that stupid romance movie."

"Oh, come on, Dash." Applejack said. "The romance movie wouldn't have been that bad if ya'd just given it a chance."

"Seriously?" Rainbow said, jumping in front of Applejack and walking backwards. "This is me we're talking about."

"It was about a couple of childhood sweethearts who had broken up and moved to different parts of Equestria, only to be brought back together again by chance! Tell me you don't think that sounds like a good plot line." Applejack said before taking on a sinister knowing expression. "Besides, Ah've known you to be darn romantic when the time is right." Rainbow Dash blushed heavily.

"Hey, come on!" Rainbow said, defiant and flustered. "That's only on s-special occasions!"

"Really? 'Cuz that ain't the song you sing when ya hold me in bed right after we-" Applejack began.

"Okay, okay, okay! Keep your voice down, alright?" Rainbow huffed as she continued to walk backwards. "Fine. I guess when the time is right, I can be- oof!" The pegasus was interrupted in her speech by backing up into a gigantic earth pony stallion. Rainbow turned around to face him.

"Watch where you're going!" He said angrily.

"Well geez, sorry, jerk!" Rainbow said. "Everypony makes mistakes! You'd figure that ponies in Canterlot would be more courteous and understanding."

"I'm from Las Pegasus." He said through gritted teeth.

"Oh yeah?" Rainbow said with a raised eyebrow and a smirk. "I heard that ponies from Las Pegasus can't fight."

"Wanna find out?" The monstrous stallion said through gritted teeth. "I don't have a problem fighting little boys." This infuriated Rainbow Dash as she shoved him, sending the massive hunk of muscle back several steps. The stallion looked at Rainbow surprised, seeing as how she was about half his size.

"Let's go outside." Rainbow responded fearlessly. "I don't wanna get your teeth all over this nice clean floor." Applejack immediately stepped between them and pushed Rainbow Dash away.

"Dash, it ain't worth it." Applejack said before turning to the stallion. "We'll be leavin' now, sir." The stallion chuckled with pride.

"What, you protecting your little girlfriend there?" He asked with a sneer.

"She's my wife." Applejack said. "And no. Ah'm protectin' you." With that, Rainbow and Applejack left the stallion with a dumbfounded look on his face.

"Ha! Did you see his face?" Rainbow asked. "He was totally scared."

"Ah'm disappointed in you, Dash." Applejack said with a sigh.

"What?" Rainbow said in disbelief. "But that jerk called me a-"

"Ah know what he called you and it made me mad too." Applejack said. "But you still shouldn't be goin' around pickin' fights."

"I wanted to teach him a lesson." Rainbow said. "He was nothing but a bully."

"Rainbow, do you realize that ya could have gotten us kicked out of the hotel?" Applejack asked. "Not to mention payin' his hospital bills."

"I wouldn't have messed him up that bad." Rainbow said with a huff.

"That don't make it any less of a dumb thing to do." Applejack responded. "Ah mean, how hard is it to just apologize and walk away for once?"

"Well, if he didn't yell at me like he did in the first place I would have." Rainbow said.

"Rainbow, sometimes ya just gotta be the better pony." Applejack said. Rainbow looked to the side, hurt by what Applejack was saying to her.

"I thought you'd be on my side." Rainbow said.

"Ah am on your side, darlin'." Applejack said. "Look Dash, Ah know that he deserved whatever ya would've given to him, but you're just so overzealous that sometimes the reigns need to be pulled in a little. And until ya learn how to do it for yourself, Ah'll be doin' it for you. It's only because Ah love you."

"You don't control me." Rainbow said. Applejack stifled a loud groan of frustration.

"Ah didn't mean that by what Ah said." Applejack said to Rainbow. "You're not gettin' my meaning here." Rainbow thought for a moment and sighed.

"No, AJ." Rainbow said. "I get it. That was just my stupid pride fussing at me. I appreciate what you do."

"Ah do it all for you, Rainbow." Applejack said before giving Rainbow a small nuzzle. Rainbow returned it before turning to a large directory.

"So, what do you want to do next?" Rainbow asked. Applejack looked up at the large directory and thought for a moment.

"How about we hit the waterpark and go to dinner after?" Applejack suggested.

"Sounds awesome." Rainbow said. "I love water slides."

"Ah've heard a lot of good stuff about wavepools myself." Applejack said.

They left the directory and moved through the recreational area of Canterlot Gardens, coming to a door leading outside to the waterpark. The large area was fenced in and contained several jubilant attractions such as water slides, and of course, a wavepool.

"Let's go!" Rainbow said happily before she moved through the door and presented her voucher to the attendant at the stand. Applejack followed suit and they were both allowed entry, leaving their vouchers and Applejack's Stetson in the booth for safe keeping.

"So, what do ya wanna do first?" Applejack asked.

"How about he hit a few water slides?" Rainbow asked as she looked around. She brightened up at the sight of one particular slide. "That one!" The slide she pointed to was a massive, straight shot down into a pool. It was at least a hundred feet, enough to terrify any pony. Applejack's pupils shrunk to pinpricks.

"Th-That one?" Applejack asked, trying to mask her fear. "Well, uh...how about we go to the wavepool first? We can just relax and unwind a bit before goin' to the slides."

"We unwinded when we took a nap in the room. What's the matter, AJ?" Rainbow asked. "You scared?"

"No!" Applejack immediately replied, defiance present in her voice. "Ah just...uh..."

"If you're not scared, then you shouldn't have a problem going first." Rainbow said, obviously aware of her wife's sudden phobia. The farm mare gulped and nodded before taking on a pathetically false expression of confidence.

"Yeah." Applejack said. "No problem." They then moved through the water park, Applejack observing the ponies relaxing in the wavepool, silently wishing she were in their place right now, instead of marching to her watery doom. Applejack had never really had a problem with heights before when she was on a stable platform, such as Twilight Sparkle's hot air balloon, and she had already soared towards the ground from incredible heights at ridiculous speed, thanks to Rainbow's impromptu ride on one of their dates some time prior. But she had never done it through water.

Water.

That was the problem. Applejack feared that the water would cause her to fly off the slide to her death, or to cause her to tumble down the slide and possibly break her neck. As she watched ponies go down the slide, she saw that it was over in a matter of three seconds. By the time Rainbow Dash could notice she was in trouble, there was a good chance that she wouldn't have been able to save her in time, had the situation have Odorned dire.

Applejack hadn't even noticed that they were nearly three-quarters up the set of stairs leading to the entrance to the demonic slide. Applejack gulped as she scaled the stairs, Rainbow following after her.

"You know, your flank actually looks better when you're scared." Rainbow said with a small chuckle. "I can't wait for Nightmare Night."

"You shut it." Applejack said with a gulp. "Ah ain't scared."

"If you're not scared, I'm not a pegasus." Rainbow said.

"Well then, Ah guess you're not a pegasus."

"Well what am I then?"

"An idiot."

"Nice comeback."

Applejack sighed as she entered the area where the slide began. A teenage colt sat in the opening, eager to have his turn on the slide. Applejack looked at the water, rushing from a spout at the top of the slide. She quickly turned to her wife, a nervous look on her face.

"Okay. Okay, Dash. Ah'm scared, okay?" Applejack said. "Ah can't do this."

"Woah, AJ." Rainbow said. "What are you scared of? You've been through worse. Remember when we-"

"Yeah, Ah remember our date." Applejack said quickly. "It's just the water."

"Huh?" Rainbow asked.

"Ah don't know why, but the water is makin' me really nervous." Applejack said. "Let's just go to the wavepool. Ah can't do this."

"Applejack, come on." Rainbow said. "You'll be okay."

"Rainbow, Ah-"

"Applejack, I know you can do this, alright?" Rainbow said, putting a hoof on Applejack's shoulder. Applejack looked at her wife. The smug, knowing look she had was replaced by one of tender encouragement. "If there's one pony I know who can see this through to the end, it's you. Now, if you really don't think you can do this, we can get down from here and go to the wavepool. But I have faith in you. I'll even go first." Applejack looked around for a moment, looked down at the slide and Rainbow again and sighed.

"Okay." Applejack said. "Let's do it."

Rainbow moved in front of Applejack and kissed her on the cheek.

"We'll be fine." Rainbow said with a smile.

"Next." The attendant said. Rainbow moved up and sat on the start of the slide. The attendant addressed her. "Okay, what you need to do is lay back and cross your fore hooves over your chest. Under no circumstances do you lean forward on the way down. Remain in that position until you come to a rest in the pool at the bottom. Have fun!" Rainbow turned around to Applejack, smiled and winked.

"You're all clear." The attendant said. "Go ahead." Rainbow pushed herself forward and down as she sped down the slide. Rainbow let out a happy cheer as she descended rapidly. Applejack gulped as the attendant ushered her forward. "Next." He said. Applejack felt breathless as she moved forward and sat where Rainbow had been seconds prior.

"As you go down the slide, lay back and fold your front hooves over your chest coffin-style." Applejack did not appreciate the name he gave the position. "Do not lean forward for any reason. Have fun!" Moments passed before he turned to Applejack. "Go ahead."

Applejack huffed loudly and frowned as she pushed herself forward. She changed her mind as she began to move faster, but it was already too late. The water was already carrying her, and she was on the way down. Her fearful shout turned into a fright filled scream as she sped rapidly toward the pool at the bottom of the slide. Within seconds, it was over, and the water of the pool was enveloping her. Applejack came up out of the water with a gasp, her legs trembling, her eyes widened. Rainbow snickered.

"So?" Rainbow asked. "How'd you like it?" Applejack turned toward Rainbow and breathed heavily.

"Let's go again!"

The day at the water park went by almost as quickly as Rainbow Dash and Applejack had traveled downward on that waterslide. They hadn't stuck around the first slide all day, of course, as they went to the wavepool, the synthetic beach and several different, less extreme slides. Rainbow Dash smiled widely as she and Applejack entered their suite, the pegasus shutting the door behind them.

"Gosh, that was fun!" Applejack exclaimed happily, putting her Stetson on the bed. "Ah didn't think Ah'd love it so much!"

"Well what did you expect?" Rainbow asked, ambling over to her wife. "It's a waterpark."

"Ah've never been to a waterpark before." Applejack said. "So Ah guess Ah really didn't know what to expect." Rainbow stopped in her tracks and a look of sympathy came over her features.

"Oh, Applejack." Rainbow said. "You've never been to a waterpark?" Applejack simply shook her head.

"Never." The farm mare replied.

"That's terrible!" Rainbow said. "Why?"

"Ah've always been workin' on the farm, and we've never exactly had the funds to do anything like this." Applejack explained. "It's fine, though. Ah can get by just fine without such things, but it's darn good that Ah have 'em now. Especially since you're here to share 'em with me." Rainbow smiled.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Rainbow said, wrapping Applejack into a hug and giving her a kiss on the lips.

"Well yeah," Applejack said with a smirk. "Ya did marry me after all."

"Alright, smartflank." Rainbow said with a snicker before letting Applejack go. "I'm gonna go get a shower before we go eat. You are welcome to join me." Applejack smiled.

"Don't mind if Ah do!" Applejack quipped as she and Rainbow walked through the bathroom. They stepped into the shower and Rainbow turned the nozzle, giving them an instant spray of hot water to enjoy.

"This is amazin'." Applejack said, feeling the water on her. "The showerhead is so big, we don't even have to try to share it."

"What's wrong with sharing?" Rainbow asked her wife, to which the farm mare chuckled.

"Ya got a point there." Applejack said.

"I can spin around in here!" Rainbow said with a laugh, doing what she said. "I mean, this is the coolest shower ever!"

"Don't ya mean the hottest?" Applejack asked with a smirk, moving closer to Rainbow.

"Oh you are just asking for it." Rainbow said as Applejack pushed her gently against the wall. Rainbow planted a loving kiss on Applejack's lips, immediately slipping her tongue against her wife's. Applejack smiled into the kiss and reciprocated the motion. Applejack disconnected from the kiss and began sucking on Rainbow Dash's neck, remembering that this was one of the pegasus' sweet spots. Rainbow panted as she moved a hoof down to Applejack's flank before beginning to knead the firm, smooth muscle. Applejack took her mouth away from Rainbow's neck and gasped.

"Dash..." Applejack said.

"Hmm?" Rainbow responded.

"Ah got a...challenge for ya." The farm mare said. "Just a fun...little thing we can do."

"Oh, you know I love these kinds of challenges." Rainbow said. "Bring it." Applejack quickly removed herself away from Rainbow Dash, letting the pegasus fall on all four hooves once more. "Aw, what the hay?"

"You seem pretty eager to get busy, Dash." Applejack said with a raised eyebrow, and a heavy blush present on her cheeks.

"Well, yeah, we are on our honeymoon." Rainbow said with a small laugh.

"Well, if you can resist doin' anything sexy with my until a time of my choosin', while we're here on our honeymoon, we can do whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want, within the bounds of reason, of course." Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"Are you serious?" Rainbow asked.

"As serious as a heart attack." Applejack said with a smile. Rainbow eagerly nodded.

"You're on." Rainbow said with a small scoff. "I've just gotta resist you? This is gonna be easy as pie."

"Or so ya think, Dash." Applejack said with a wink as she undid her hair ties and shook her beautiful mane and tail out. Just the way she looked made Rainbow Dash weak in the knees. The farm mare then began slowly washing her body all over, putting extra emphasis on washing her flank right in front of the already aroused pegasus.

'This is gonna be a long wait.' Rainbow thought to herself with a small gulp.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash, refreshed from their shower, walked into one of the three restaurants available in the hotel and stopped in front of the hostess. The place was quaint enough, with a decent atmosphere of warm lights and dark red booths. This restaurant also happened to be the least populated, only serving about ten ponies when it could house one hundred.

"How many tonight?" The bright blue unicorn asked with a smile.

"Two, ma'am." Rainbow replied. "Preferably a booth." The unicorn nodded and grabbed two menus from the holder behind her with her magic.

"Well, we just so happen to have a lot of those." She said. "This way please." She began, leading Rainbow and Applejack through the restaurant, to a rather secluded booth in one side of the restaurant. Applejack took the opportunity to give Rainbow's flank a quick slap, making the pegasus squeak in alarm. Rainbow quickly turned to Applejack, wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Why you little..." Rainbow whispered, narrowing her eyes. Applejack merely looked away and whistled innocently. The hostess seated them at their booth and smiled at the both of them.

"Your waiter will be with you shortly." She said. "Enjoy your stay!" After the hostess had left them, Rainbow leaned forward over the table.

"What's the big idea?" Rainbow asked.

"Whatever do you mean?" Applejack replied, smiling to herself.

"You know exactly what I mean, you little tease!" Rainbow said, raising an eyebrow. "You think just a little smack on the behind is gonna make me lose? You'd best reconsider your plan of action." Applejack chuckled mutely.

"Rainbow Dash, you have no idea what Ah have planned." Applejack said as she leaned forward also, bringing her mouth dangerously close to Rainbow's. Applejack then gave Rainbow a quick kiss on the cheek before sitting back just in time for the waiter to arrive, with Rainbow still leaning forward on the table.

"Uhm...I can come back." The earth pony asked.

"Oh, no sir. We're ready for ya." Applejack said with a small smile. "She's just weird."

"Hey!" Rainbow said, as she quickly sat back.

"Alright then." The waiter said. "Can I take your drink orders?"

"Ah'll have a tea, Ah guess." Applejack said.

"Same here." Rainbow stated. "I'll have a lemon in mine."

"Okay." The waiter said. "I'll be right back with those drinks." Rainbow sighed and sunk in her seat slightly.

"That was witty of you." Rainbow said as her brows furrowed, sarcasm lacing her words.

"Wasn't it?" Applejack asked with a small smile. "Ah thought it was pretty good." They both proceeded to look at their menus to find what they wanted. After a short while, Rainbow spoke up.

"What made you want to do this little challenge thing anyways?" Rainbow asked.

"Oh well, it's our honeymoon, and since honeymoons are pretty much there for havin' fun, Ah figured we could have a little fun with this." Applejack said.

"Do I look like I'm having fun right now?" Rainbow said, sitting up again, smiling and raising an eyebrow. "After your little show in the shower, you're lucky I didn't lock you in that room with me all night." Applejack smiled at her.

"What stopped ya?" Applejack asked.

"That reward." Rainbow said with a saucy smirk. "The ability to do whatever with you, whenever, wherever..."

"Within reason." Applejack asked. "Ah mean, ya can't just take me in the middle of a crowd of ponies, ya know." Rainbow laughed.

"Yeah, yeah I know." Rainbow said as she giggled. As Rainbow said this, the waiter returned with their drinks and set them in front of them.

"Are you guys ready to order your food?" The waiter asked, removing his pad and placing it on the table.

"Yeah, I'll have the Daffodil burger with hay fries." Rainbow said.

"And Ah'll take the mushroom and provolone sandwich with hay fries as well." Applejack said.

"Fantastic." The waiter said. "Your food will be out shortly." As they sat and waited, Rainbow piped up again.

"I wonder what it would be like..." Rainbow said.

"What's that, sugar?" Applejack asked.

"If you and me actually did do it in the middle of a crowded place." Rainbow said candidly. Applejack giggled.

"Well, Ah'd think that more than a few stallions and mares would stop to enjoy the show." Applejack said, still giggling. "But after about five minutes, we'd probably be arrested, put in jail and shunned by everypony we know and love for the rest of our natural lives."

"Wow." Rainbow said. "You think of all that in the past ten seconds?" Applejack looked at her and nodded.

"Ah was actually thinkin' about it while we were orderin'." Applejack said with a quick wink.

Dinner came after a short while. The food was excellent, both mares enjoying every bite thoroughly. They continued to chat happily with one another, spouting witty banter back and forth like they were born to do it. But Rainbow and Applejack had always had that level of chemistry with one another. The romance in the air between the two mares was unmistakable, the waiter even catched onto it. He didn't say anything about it though. He just gave them a knowing smile. Rainbow and Applejack left the restaurant to return to their room and arrived at some short time after midnight. Rainbow sighed and moved through the suite and opened the patio door before walking out and sitting on the couch on the balcony. Applejack smiled and walked after her.

The farm mare sat next to the pegasus and smiled at her.

"So why'd ya come out here so suddenly?" Applejack asked before giving Rainbow a gentle kiss on the corner of her mouth. "Without even invitin' me?"

"Because I knew that you'd be doing this." Rainbow said as she went rigid, feeling Applejack's fore hoof rub up and down her chest. It took everything the pegasus had not to throw Applejack down and have her way with her.

"You're very...." Applejack said before giving Rainbow a deep kiss, swiping the cyan mare's lower lip with her tongue. She separated. "Intuitive."

"And you're sadistic." Rainbow said with a small shiver. Applejack giggled before settling in next to Rainbow and giving out a long sigh. She looked up at the moon.

"Maybe Princess Luna knew we'd be out here tonight." Applejack said as she looked up at the gorgeous moon.

"Maybe." Rainbow replied.

"Maybe that's why its so pretty." Applejack responded.

"Hey AJ?" Rainbow asked, putting her fore hoof on Applejack's. "Can I...ask you something?"

"Sure, darlin'." Applejack said. "Fire away."

"Do you...um...think I'm pretty?" Rainbow asked timidly, sounding much more like Fluttershy than her normal self. The question took Applejack completely off-guard.

"Uh...what?" Applejack asked Rainbow, looking away from the moon at her. The light illuminated Rainbow's face, showing her looking to the side and blushing.

"I know it's really random, okay?" Rainbow said. "Can you just...tell me?"

"What the hay kinda stupid question is that?" Applejack asked, a slight tone of anger to her words. "Of course Ah do! Why are ya askin' me this? Ah've never known you to care about bein' pretty."

"It's just..." Rainbow said, looking at Applejack before looking away just as quickly. "Forget it. It's stupid."

"No it's not, Dash." Applejack said. "Why did ya ask me that?" Rainbow's blush intensified.

"It's just what that jerk said today..." Rainbow said. "That I look like a boy..."

"Rainbow, why are ya lettin' what he said get to you?" Applejack asked. "Ah mean, did ya see the way ya had him intimidated?"

"Well yeah, but...It's not just him." Rainbow said.

"Who else?" Applejack asked.

"Well...no one in particular, really." Rainbow said with a sigh. "It's just...I've always been the tomboy of our group. Everypony expects me to act like a jock..."

"Well don't ya like sports and flyin' and fightin' and all that stuff?" Applejack asked.

"Of course I do." Rainbow said. "I'm just slapped with the label all the time, and...all those times you and Rarity told me that I need to go to the spa..."

"Rainbow, Ah wasn't tryin' to hurt your feelings with that. Neither was Rarity." Applejack said.

"I know, I know." Rainbow said. "It's just been a...buildup of things, you know?"

"Rainbow, Ah had no idea..." Applejack said, sadness filling her being for her wife who apparently had less self-esteem than she led ponies to believe.

"I mean, I can't change who I am. I love going on adventures and beating danger and fighting and all that boyish stuff. It's just..." Rainbow said. "I...I wouldn't mind being called pretty once and a while. Like you."

"What do you mean?" Applejack asked.

"I look at you and I see the most beautiful mare, no, the most beautiful pony I've ever seen. I look at myself in the mirror and I see just plain old Rainbow Dash." Rainbow said. "I just wish I were pretty like you, Applejack." Applejack's heart broke for her wife, who sat before her forlorn and vulnerable. Rainbow Dash, who seemed to have more confidence than anypony else on a regular basis. Applejack noticed something at that moment. Before her sat the most beautiful mare she had ever seen.

"Rainbow." Applejack said as she brought a fore hoof to Rainbow's chin, and gently turned her wife's head toward her. "When ya say that you're not pretty...that is the stupidest thing Ah've ever heard. You don't think you're beautiful because you've been lookin' at yourself in the mirror your whole life."

"But Apple-"

"Now, you let me finish." Applejack said sternly. "Looking at you now, Ah can see so many attributes that make you beautiful. Your amazing rainbow mane and tail, Ah've never seen any others like it. You're smooth blue coat. It's the same color as the sky, Dash. And the sky is..."

"Pretty..." Rainbow said with a small smile and a blush.

"Your eyes..." Applejack said, brushing Rainbow's mane away gently. "They're so bright and vibrant. Every time Ah look into them, Ah see two beautiful roses." Rainbow's eyes filled with tears.

"And those are just a couple features." Applejack said. "Ah'm not even gonna bring up how you're in better shape than any other pony Ah've ever seen." Rainbow giggled quietly. "My point is, Rainbow Dash, you are beautiful. No matter what you think, no matter what others say." Applejack put her fore hooves on Rainbow's. "And Ah love you." Rainbow wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled widely at Applejack.

"I love you too." Rainbow said before wrapping her forelegs around Applejack's shoulders and pulling her into a deep, loving kiss. Applejack smiled and returned the kiss. For five minutes they sat and kissed each other happily. Applejack separated from the kiss and smiled at Rainbow Dash.

"Ya know what?" Applejack asked with a smirk.

"What?" Rainbow responded before giving Applejack another small kiss.

"The challenge is over." Applejack said. "You win." Rainbow's eyes widened.

"Really?" Rainbow asked. Applejack nodded. "Okay, thank Celestia, because I was about to take you in there and throw you on that bed." Applejack giggled and stood before Rainbow.

"Well now, Ah can save ya the trouble." Applejack said, looking back at Rainbow Dash as she strode back into the suite. The pegasus did a small victory dance and walked inside to find Applejack laying on the bed.

"Ready when you are, sugarcube." Applejack said saucily. Rainbow smiled widely.

"Just a sec." Rainbow said, moving quickly over to the hot tub. She turned the handle and the water began filling from several spouts in the sides of the tub. "Figured I'd have it ready for us."

"Good idea." Applejack said. "Can ya think of anything we could do while it fills up?"

"Well let me go ahead and think about that..." Rainbow said, taking on a thinker position. "We're newly married and here on our honeymoon in one of the honeymoon suites of Canterlot Gardens and you're laying on the bed in front of me in a sexy position...Nope. I haven't got a bucking clue." Applejack laughed as Rainbow bounded for her and jumped onto the bed. Rainbow hungrily and passionately kissed Applejack, immediately slipping her tongue into her wife's mouth, Applejack doing the same. Rainbow's hooves moved up and down Applejack's body, groping it in all the right places. Applejack moaned into the kiss and separated. Applejack moved away from Rainbow Dash and turned around before sticking her flank up in the air.

"Ah know you've been waitin' for this." Applejack said, looking back at Rainbow with a witty smirk. The farm mare moved her tail to the side, exposing her sex to her wife.

"You know it." Rainbow replied as she moved forward and began rubbing Applejack's slit with one of her fore hooves and rubbing her flank with the other. Applejack moaned and panted, blushing heavily as Rainbow Dash performed her service. Rainbow smiled widely as she moved up to rub Applejack's clitoris. She gave Applejack's vulvae a swift lick, briefly dipping her tongue inside. Applejack silenced her moan with a pillow. Rainbow giggled and leaned down to whisper in Applejack's ear.

"These suites are spaced out for a reason, AJ." Rainbow said. "We can be as loud as we want." Applejack took Rainbow's advisement and let her moan out as Rainbow licked her sex once again. Rainbow gave Applejack's flank a slap, making the farm mare cry out.

"Oh, Dash!" Applejack said breathlessly. "This is amazin'...Ah'm...Agh!" She yelled out again as Rainbow put pressure on her sex before releasing. Applejack continued to pant heavily and moan in time with Rainbow's movements. Rainbow leaned forward and kissed one of Applejack's laid back ears.

"It's alright, AJ." Rainbow said. "You can let it go."

"Ah know, Dash...Ah'm...Ah'm..." Applejack couldn't finish her sentence as she let out a moan that was louder than the others, signifying her climax. Applejack panted as her ejaculate leaked across Rainbow Dash's fore hoof. After it stopped, Rainbow laid on her back and began rubbing her own sex, seeing as how she had become quite wet herself, spreading her legs widely in an erotic display for her wife. She moaned as Applejack turned around. The sight of Rainbow on her back, waiting for her with spread legs, aroused her to no end.

"My turn, Applejack." Rainbow said with a devilish smirk. Applejack quickly lowered her mouth to where it hovered above Rainbow's slit. Rainbow's wings unfurled in a show of excitement as she removed her hoof, allowing Applejack access. The farm mare took Rainbow's entire marehood into her mouth and slid her tongue between the folds, empowered by the state of euphoria she experienced from pleasuring her love. Rainbow gasped and threw her head back as she began to grind her sex into Applejack's mouth. The farm mare moaned as she serviced her wife, the vibrations from the sound giving Rainbow another sensation on top of the direct one she was receiving from Applejack.

"Applejack...You're really-nya!-good at this..." Rainbow said with a smile. Applejack removed her mouth from Rainbow's sex and rubbed it with a fore hoof rapidly.

"Nothin' but the best for you, darlin'." Applejack responded before moving up over Rainbow Dash.

"Applejack, what are you- Ah!" Rainbow cried out as Applejack, in one swift motion, began rubbing Rainbow's sex with one forehoof and rubbed Rainbow's right wing at the base with the other. Rainbow pushed her sex into Applejack's hoof as she started to lose her mind. "Oh my Goddesses..." Rainbow said breathlessly as she felt herself approaching her peak. Rainbow cried out loudly as she was swept up by her orgasm. Her body trembled as her liquids lightly played over Applejack's fore hoof. As Rainbow Dash descended from cloud nine, Applejack looked over at the hot tub, which had a good amount of water in it.

"Looks like the tub's full." Applejack said. "Shall we?" Rainbow looked at her and nodded.

"Sounds great." Rainbow said as they both stood and moved to the hot tub. They both got in and Rainbow pressed a button, activating the jets. They both immediately relaxed and held each other closely.

"This is great." Applejack said. "Just you and me...this hot tub..." Rainbow kissed Applejack deeply on the lips and smiled.

"You know..." Rainbow said, giving Applejack a kiss on her jawline. "I feel an awful lot like ravaging my bride right now." Rainbow then moved the both of them up onto the side of the hot tub, which comfortably held Applejack on her back.

"Oh, still feelin' it, are ya?" Applejack asked, raising an eyebrow as she spread her legs. "Well, don't leave me layin' here." Rainbow smirked and lowered herself onto Applejack, spreading her legs as well. "Oh, so we're doin' that, huh?" Rainbow nodded. Applejack moved her legs to where Rainbow's interlocked with her own and their flowers were only inches apart.

Rainbow wasted no time in pushing her marehood against Applejack's, both their lower lips providing the feel of the other. Rainbow leaned over Applejack and smiled down at her as she gyrated her hips. Applejack blushed and smiled up at her wife, who looked down at her with an expression of pure love. Applejack moaned as she began to move her hips against Rainbow's subtly, but letting Rainbow have control of the act. Rainbow gradually increased the speed of her thrusting, the ever intensifying friction escalating the sensation for the two of them. Applejack put her hooves on Rainbow's shoulders as their tribadism continued to speed up.

"Rainbow, Ah'm...gettin' close here!" Applejack said before gasping, feeling the onset of her orgasm.

"Me too." Rainbow said. "Let's do it together." They continued in their motions, a mute smacking sound coming from below them. Rainbow's tail flicked as she climaxed, letting out a cry. Seconds later, Applejack was wrapped up into her own orgasm. They rode out their orgasm together, panting and moaning. Applejack closed her eyes, breathless, a blush overtaking her face. To her surprise, Rainbow picked her up and pushed her against the tiled wall that the hot tub sat alongside. The pegasus continued to rub her marehood against Applejack's

"Rainbow -AGH!" Applejack said, "What are ya doin'?" Rainbow kissed Applejack deeply on the mouth and licked the corner of the farm mare's lips lightly before snickering.

"Ravaging you." Rainbow said between breaths. Rainbow continued to increase her speed, rubbing her sex on Applejack's faster and faster, driving the both of them insane with pleasure.

"Rainbow! Ah cant...take much more!" Applejack said, wrapping her hind legs around Rainbow's flank.

"Me neither!" Rainbow said as she climaxed once more, letting out a cry louder than any she had produced that night. Applejack did the same as she had another orgasm as well. They rode out their orgasms, kissing each other deeply, both their ears laid back. Panting heavily, they both sat back into the bubbling water for a moment before Applejack spoke up.

"Dash..." Applejack said. "We...need to cool down." Rainbow nodded in agreement.

"Yeah." Rainbow said. "This water's ridiculous."

Both mares exited the hot tub and dried themselves off, the water from the hot tub quickly cooling with the air and relaxing both mares. After they were both completely dry, they both climbed into the bed and held each other tightly. They laid there in the bed for a while, kissing each other lovingly. As they held each other so closely and kissed, Applejack stroked Rainbow's mane with affection like she always did. The pegasus separated from the kiss and smiled at Applejack, letting her pure love for her wife show on her facial features.

"Oh, Goddesses, I am in paradise." Rainbow said as Applejack kissed her on the cheek.

"I feel the same way, Dash." Applejack responded.

"This is gonna be a great four days." Rainbow said with a content smile.

"Agreed." Applejack said before snuggling into Rainbow's chest. "Ah love you so much, Rainbow Dash."

"I love you too, Applejack." Rainbow responded. "You're the best thing that has ever happened to me."

"Ah'm just so glad you're my wife now." Applejack said. "We've got so much ahead of us."

"And we'll conquer it all. Just you and me." Rainbow said before turning around. "Goodnight, Applejack."

"Good night, Rainbow." Applejack said, wrapping her forelegs around Rainbow and snuggling into her from behind. The two married mares let sleep encompass them, both of them ready for the next day of this amazing getaway.

Obligatory End-of-Chapter Author's Note: Whooo-WHEE! Out of all the steamy chapters I've written, that one has got to be the steamiest! But no one can deny, things get damn steamy on the honeymoon. This chapter actually turned out to be a lot longer than I thought it was going to be. Well, that's it for this one! Cheers!
