Yet another soothing summer's day met Ponyville and it's residents. Applejack was particularly thankful for the beautiful day. Today was the day of the Apple Family Reunion, and she had a lot of work to do to set up for the event. This wasn't only the day of her family reunion, this was the day of the Summer Sun Celebration, and she was in charge of supplying the food. While she was setting up the tables and helping prepare the food, Pinkie had invited her to attend a party she simply couldn't miss. She was welcoming a new pony to town and Applejack was to be certain she made a good impression.

The strong farm-mare continued to work the day away, continually stopping to look at the position of the sun. She began to notice it was getting late and her relatives each trotted about the farmhouse greeting one another. Each Apple pony brought their own special dish to the table until there was more than enough food to feed the entire town.

Applejack looked over to notice that no pony had taken care of the buckets of recently harvested apples, which were all still sitting across the orchard beneath trees. She began hastily tossing them into barrels and wheeling them to the cellar where they belonged. Her family members, however, were content enough to ignore their cousin hard at work and enjoy the day.

She lifted her hoof to shout, but was distracted by the sight of a strange purple unicorn walking towards her. Well she ain't part of the family, maybe this is that new pony Pinkie was talkin' about.

After a strong and overly friendly greeting from Applejack, the unicorn introduced herself as Twilight Sparkle. Applejack then called her family out to begin their feast. Each one placed their dish onto a picnic table on the orchard. Twilight had eaten more than her fill, and walked off to continue her tasks at hoof. Applejack then remembered her own task and continued working on clearing the orchard before Pinkie's party. There were still several buckets strewn throughout Sweet Apple Acres, more than enough to demotivate the exhausted earth pony.

"Well shoot, I'll have plenty of time to do it after I get back from Pinkie's." Applejack spoke out loud to herself, something she often did while trying to convince herself to believe something that probably wasn't true.

The sun was higher in the sky and began to glare into her eyes. She reached up to pull her hat down and shield her eyes from the sun. She gave the ground a quick stamp with her hoof, feeling a bit frustrated that she had nearly forgotten about something important. She was supposed to have picked up her new hat from Rarity this morning, but had let the busy day get ahead of her. Her old hat was torn in several areas and faded, she wanted a new one to wear for the reunion and the celebration tonight. I guess I'd best go get it now. Her family was busy being entertained by her little sister's playful storytelling and filly games. So she didn't worry too much about being missed while she went out. She shut the cellar doors and trotted down the road to the Carousel Boutique.

As she approached Rarity's home she saw the purple unicorn she had met only a few hours ago trotting away in a bit of a hurry. A scared dragon clung to her back as she quickly made her way down the road towards Fluttershy's house. Applejack didn't really read into what she had just seen, she never did. Instead she simply trotted towards her goal, one thing in mind, attaining her hat.

With a few strong knocks, Rarity quickly opened the door. "Well then Applejack, can we please try to avoid breaking the door down? Your hat's right here, and I'm certain you'll find it quite to your liking."

Rarity levitated a hat over to her friend who now had a shocked expression on her face.

"Rarity, what the hay is this?! It's pink!" Applejack held the hat in one hoof, looking it over. She noticed the a trim of shiny pink sequins and dropped it on the floor with a look of disgust.

"Hey now, don't just throw it on the floor, I thought you'd like something with a little more color than your boring old brown hat. Dull to say the least." Rarity hid it well, but she was a bit hurt by Applejack's rejection.

"Well I'll admit that was awful nice of ya, but I'd like a hat like the one I had before. I'd just feel too frilly in a hot pink cowfilly hat ya know?" Applejack did her best to be encouraging, knowing Rarity was emotionally fragile at times beneath her prim and proper exterior.

With a deep sigh Rarity levitated the pink hat onto the work table next to her and brought a new brown one out gently placing it on her friend's head.

"I knew you wouldn't like my design, but it was worth a try." Rarity walked over to her friend and gave her a quick hug.

"Thanks Rarity, this is perfect, and it looks great." The orange pony adjusted the hat til it was sitting on her mane just the way she liked it.

"You're very welcome dear, but, take the other one with you too, as a gift. The bright colors really bring out those pretty green eyes of yours. If you took the time to make yourself up, you'd realize you're a very pretty pony." Rarity put the pink hat in a bag and placed it next to her slightly blushing friend.

"Thanks again Rarity. Do, uh, do you really think I'm pretty?" For the first time that she could recall, Applejack found herself questioning the situation. Why did I just ask that? Like I care what some pony thinks about how I look. Like that even matters anyhow...

Applejack continued to argue with herself until Rarity broke her chain of thought.

"Technically I just pointed out that you can potentially be pretty if you would just try a bit harder." Rarity turned around and flicked her tail as she went back to work.

"Oh alright then. I guess I'll be going now. Thanks for the hat." Applejack's ears and tail drooped as she turned around to head outside.

Rarity detected the sadness in her friend's voice and immediately felt a pang of regret. "I'm sorry Applejack, I didn't mean it that way. You know I think you're really pretty, I was joking about what I said. I just didn't think someone like you would take it so hard."

"No worries sugarcube, I got more important things to worry about than looks anyway. Ya know, work and all." Applejack put on a modest and reassuring smile for her friend.

"Applejack my dear, don't trick yourself into believing that there're more important things in this world than looking great. Okay maybe there are, but that's not the point. Come here and let me help you look fabulous for the party later today." Rarity dropped her work and began to go over the supplies she'd need in her mind, raising a hoof to her chin.

"Well now Rarity, that sure sounds nice and all but I have a lot to take care of right now, there simply ain't enough time." Applejack slowly backed up, thanking her over abundance of work for getting her out of this situation.

"Let me guess, you want to move apples from one area of the orchard to another. Or maybe you just want to gather them up and horde them in your cellar, is that it?"

"Uh, yeah?" Applejack put on a nervous smile.

"The apples will still be there tomorrow, this party can't wait. Now come with me and let's make that mane look fabulous."

Rarity trotted up to her reluctant friend and dragged her into her room. She nudged her in front of a mirror and began to levitate various accessories and jewelry items up to the awkwardly standing earth pony. Then she tossed them back over her shoulder one by one in disapproval.

"Applejack, why do you have to be so... orange? Nothing looks good with orange."

"So sorry Rarity, would you like to dye my coat?" Applejack didn't hold her sarcasm back.

Rarity's face lit up. "I'd love to!"

"Well you ain't gonna..." Applejack rolled her eyes.

"Don't be so drab dear. I'm sure we'll find a way to beautify you somehow." Rarity began to dig through a chest of random clothing and accessories.

Applejack grew impatient. She glimpsed over at a clock and out an intentionally loud sigh. Rarity didn't take the hint, instead she kept searching through the chest.

"Ahem, Rarity, this has  been fun and all, but I'm gonna take off now." Applejack admittedly took a blow to her self-esteem as Rarity failed to make her 'pretty' for the party.

"But Applejack... I'm not done yet..." Rarity pouted and gave her moping friend wide puppy eyes.

Applejack turned around to meet Rarity's eyes. The sun shone brightly through the window and illuminated her beautiful deep green eyes. "Well maybe I ain't cut out for this whole fancyin' up thing. I'll see ya later alright?"

Rarity detected the sadness in her voice, but she was feeling a bit entranced by the earth ponies surprisingly good looks.

"Applejack, shh. Would you do me a quick favor and spin around? I'm not asking, just do it." Rarity seemed serious.

Rather than argue Applejack just did a quick spin to appease Rarity before she did something brash. Rarity placed a hoof on her chin and raised an eyebrow. As Applejack turned around she took careful notice in her well toned hips and haunches. Her weight was evenly distributed on her legs and her posture was perfect. Her chest was broad and her shoulders were narrow despite the strength they clearly held. In a word, Applejack was hot. The only thing that left something to be desired was her mane.

"Applejack, don't leave. I've never really noticed this before, but... You look good. I mean, really good." Rarity trotted over to her and began circling her.

"Uh, Rarity. You're makin' me a bit uncomfortable."

Rarity lifted Applejack's back leg with her magic and stretched it out, causing the mare to awkwardly lose her balance.

"I reckon that's enough! What're you doin' anyhow?

"I'm fitting you." Rarity continued her uncomfortable examination.

"Say what now?"

"Shhh! Will you please be quiet and let me do this?" Rarity pushed Applejack back into her room against her will.

Applejack once again decided to submit to her will simply to avoid drama. Rarity gave her a quick wink and trotted into another room. Applejack sat on her bed and patiently waited, a feeling of discomfort washing over her. Rarity returned a few moments later with an interesting item.

"Whoa there sugarcube, what the hay is that?!" Applejack jumped back and lifted her hooves up as if she were about to fight Buck Norris style.

"This my good friend, is a saddle." Rarity raised her eyebrows several times in quick succession.

She held up the unusual piece of apparel in an aura of magic provocatively dangling it in front of her now blushing friend.

"I know what it is! I meant, what do you expect me to do with it?!" Applejack was clearly uncomfortable with this fetish based accessory.

"Alright, I'm going to be straight forward with you dear. I know you're in trouble at the farm. That saggy roof and Granny Smith's bad hip aren't going to be cheap. You need bits, I have bits. I have a way for you to earn my bits from me. I just want to take some pictures of you." Rarity put on a wolfish smile and tossed the saddle on the bed next to Applejack.

It was black and trimmed with fuzzy pink garland and decorated with long leather straps and buckles. Applejack gulped and considered the modeling job.

"So, exactly how many bits would you pay me for these... pictures?" Applejack modestly inquired.

"Well sweetheart, that depends on you. How far are you willing to go in front of the camera?" Rarity opened a dresser and brought out a high quality camera with an unnecessarily large lens.

"Rarity, I'm sorry but I haven't the slightest clue what you could possibly mean by that."

"I know you don't AJ dear, and I find that incredibly adorable. Let's just go with this idea. I'll start you off slowly and tell you what to do for each shot and we'll stop as soon as you feel uncomfortable. I'll pay you ten bits for the first picture and increase the pay in intervals of ten for each to follow. Do we have a deal?" Rarity switched into a very professional attitude.

"How many do you want to take in total?"

"We're just seeing how this goes for now, probably five to ten pictures to get you started, then we'll go from there."

"Who will be seeing these pictures?" Applejack's eyes narrowed.

"No one around here I assure you. I'll sell them to a magazine company based in Fillydelphia. I can't tell you who due to privacy issues, but several ponies in this town have done model work for me before dear. Don't feel bad about it, it's fun." Rarity smiled reassuringly.

"Alright, I'll do it. Where do we start." Applejack lifted the saddle with her teeth.

"Yes, thank you Applejack! I promise I'll make this worth your while."

Rarity led her less than eager friend into the basement of the Boutique. There she flipped on a few light switches and relieved an elaborate photography studio equipped with several different backdrops and props. Along the walls were various styles of beds and set up scenes of sorts and behind the cameras were an array of posters and glamour shots featuring the insignia Belle Modeling along the bottom right corners. Applejack nervously gulped fearing she was in over her head.

"Before we get started we simply must do something about that mane of yours." Rarity squinted one eye and trotted off.

"What's wrong with my mane?"

"It's just so... country, and not in a good way." Rarity returned with a large brush in her teeth. She used her magic to take the ties out of Applejack's ponytails, letting her mane and tail come down.

"Look at that, better already." Rarity pointed towards a mirror with her hoof.

Applejack turned around and saw herself in a way she never had before. She felt an unusual burst of confidence as Rarity stood behind her in her reflection. She used her magic to brush out her long yellow tail and mane off to one side. She then took a small black ribbon and tied it up into her mane, lifting a small lock over her eye. Applejack let out a deep breath and looked herself over in the mirror, seeing a mare she no longer recognized. With a few final touch ups Rarity was satisfied with Applejack's new look.

"...Is that really me?" Applejack walked closer to the mirror and placed her hoof on the glass.

"It is. I told you, you're beautiful. You just needed to give yourself the chance." Rarity placed a hoof on her friend's shoulder.

"Don't get me wrong, I thought you were pretty before even though I gave you a hard time. But look at you now, you're one sexy filly."

Applejack blushed and smiled. Rarity's attempt to further boost her confidence was working.

"Now, go to set four and lay down on that bed." Rarity grabbed her camera and attached it to a tripod already sitting in front of that setup.

Applejack took a deep breath and climbed onto the bed. Rarity gave her a few more words of encouragement from behind the camera then began directing her.

"Alright now AJ, let's start off simple. First I want you to lay down across the bed with your hooves tucked beneath yourself and look just above the camera." Rarity flipped on a bright overhead light and began focusing the camera.

Applejack did exactly as she was told then the first picture was snapped.

"Perfect, now stretch yourself out and place a hoof in your mane."

Once again Applejack performed flawlessly and the second picture was taken.

"Great, I'm loving this! Now lean up and bend over the edge of the bed and put your flank up."

Applejack hesitated a moment but decided not to back out now. She did as she was told and flinched at the sound of the clicking shutters.

"Perfect dear, you're a natural. Now here, take this in your mouth, hold it by the large leather strap and arch your back." Rarity levitated the saddle over to her posing friend.

Applejack took the saddle in her mouth as directed and posed as if she had just pulled it out from under the bed. She lifted her tail up and flexed her haunches, feeling sexier and more confident than ever holding the enticing accessory in her mouth. Her mane hung delicately over her face and her narrowed eyes reflected the bright lights through her mane like brilliantly cut emerald. The forth picture was snapped.

"That'll do for now dear. This went much better than I had originally expected." Rarity took the saddle and placed it on a shelf.

"So that's it then? I'm all done?" Applejack was willing to continue to her own surprise.

"For now, yes. Come with me and I'll get your payment and I have a few things for you to sign." Rarity trotted upstairs and Applejack followed.

She dug through her drawers and pulled out a few customary documents. She placed each of them on the desk in front of her friend and directed her to sign of a few lines.

"Just a few formalities, permissions and selling rights. Sign here, here, and date here. Perfect! Now here's your payment."

Rarity levitated three small cloth sacks filled with coins from beneath her counter. Each one had the number fifty printed on it.

"Here's one-fifty, a hundred for the four pictures and a bonus fifty if you choose to sign onto my line." Rarity slid one last paper across her desk and looked into Applejack's eyes.

"A hundred? I thought it'd be forty for four pictures." Applejack looked up and tried to do the math.

"Sweetie, it was ten for the first one, twenty for the second and so on. Don't tempt my honesty." Rarity rolled her eyes.

"Well shoot, okay, I'll sign on or whatever." Applejack signed her name on the last sheet and Rarity got a devious look in her eye.

"Thank's Applejack, this is the start of a beautiful relationship, I know it." Rarity's eyes softened as she looked over one of her oldest friends.

"Don't mention it Rarity. Thank you for this opportunity to help my family. It'd take me a month to raise this many bits on my own just doin work on the farm. More importantly, thanks for... for making me feel like a..."

"Like the beautiful mare you are?"

"...Yeah."

Rarity trotted around the desk and gave her modest friend a tight hug. "No need to thank me dear, you're more than welcome to come around here and visit anytime you'd like, working or not. I'd love to spend more time together."

Applejack, not in her normal state of mind, gave Rarity a soft kiss on the cheek. Rarity backed up and blushed. Applejack's mane was still done up and the sun was shining through the windows right into her glowing face. Rarity leaned in and touched noses with her.

"You're a great friend Rarity..."

"You too..."

Before either of them knew it they were locked in a deep kiss. Rarity lifted her hoof up and wrapped it around Applejack's neck, slowly pulling her closer. The orange mare lost her balance and stumbled forward, pressing Rarity tightly up against her desk. Applejack reached behind her and pushed the clutter out of her way. A few sheets of paper along with the bags of bits came crashing to the floor. Coins scattered across the room and neither of the invigorated mares seemed to notice. Applejack laid Rarity down on her back along the hardwood desk. She then climbed on top of her and pinned her hooves down with her own. After a few moments of passionate and forceful kissing, Applejack began to bite onto her neck. She sucked on her coat and licked her way down to her stomach. Rarity gasped for air and arched her back, completely taken by Applejack's dominance.

Neither of the two mares have been able to take time for themselves to find sexual relief in quite some time due to their busy work schedules. Both needed this release more than either were willing to admit. As Applejack made her way in between Rarity's legs she began to moan loudly and wrap her hooves in her long soft yellow mane. Rarity's face was flushed and just as she was about to cum the door to the Boutique swung open, chiming a bell at the top of the door. An orange maned pony walked in and gasped covering her eyes with a hoof immediately.

"Sorry, so sorry! I didn't know you were closed. I'll come back later." The carrot maned mare stumbled out of the shop, bumping into the side of the door due to her obstructed vision.

Rarity let out a grunt of displeasure and dropped her head forcefully onto the desk. "Is the mood killed?"

"Eeyup." Applejack stood up.

She glanced at the clock and realized there were going to be late to Pinkie's party today. "Awe bucket o' hayseeds! Look at the time, we gotta get movin'."

"Oh dear, you're right. Pinkie's going to be furious if we don't hurry."

"Quick, fix my mane." Applejack let Rarity restore her to her normal style.

Rarity gathered the scattered bits off the floor and returned them to the opened sack. Then the two quickly trotted down the road side by side. Rarity was clearly in a bad mood due to her sexual frustration, Applejack on the other hoof simply planned to take care of it later.

"So, do you want to continue where we left off later?" Applejack nudged her flustered friend with an elbow.

"Of course I do, this time I'll be sure there'll be no interruptions." Rarity smiled and felt her heart begin to flood with strong feelings of bliss and happiness towards the new-found connection she's made with her old friend.

Applejack smiled and the two approached the library where the party was being held. Outside they spotted Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash who called them over. Applejack quickly trotted by hiding her blushing face and Rarity took a moment to insinuate their uncalled for suspicions that were apparently apparent.

Later that night, Rarity and Applejack's plans were interrupted after all by an unexpected event of epic proportions. A couple days had past and they finally found the time to meet back up and finish what they started. It was dark out and Applejack had quietly left the farm without anyone knowing. She made her way to the Boutique and lightly knocked on the locked door. Rarity was quick to answer. She inched it open and let her in.

"It's good to see you, I've been waiting too long for this." Rarity winked and trotted in front of her towards the basement, seductively wiggling her flank and tail.

Applejack quietly followed her downstairs and into the studio. "Uh, Rarity? You don't want to film this do you?"

Rarity stopped for a moment, then turned around with narrowed eyes. "Kinky AJ, do you want to?"

"Not really." She laughed and watched as Rarity strutted her way over to a nice soft bed.

Rarity laid down and stretched her hooves out. Applejack looked over her perfect body. Her glistening white coat reflected the soft lighting with brilliant luster. Her mane dangled off to one side with immaculate elegance and her deep blue sapphire eyes penetrated deep into Applejack's heart. Rarity was by all means perfect.

Using her magic she pulled the bands from Applejack's mane and tail, letting her hair fall down in a sensual manner. Applejack arched her tingling spine as the aura lightly brushed across her coat.

"If we're going to do this, let's do it right. Let's make our first time quite the memorable occasion." Rarity gestured her swooning friend to join her in bed with the wave of a hoof.

Applejack took this as an opportunity to show off just how seductive she could be. She climbed up onto the bed and felt her heart skip a beat as Rarity let out a light breath. Applejack laid over top of her and brushed her nose up against her horn. She kissed her cheeks then rested her muzzle against her soft white nose. Rarity wrapped her arms around Applejack's waist and pulled her down into a kiss. Each mare parted her lips and shared tongues for what seemed like hours. Rarity ran her hooves down Applejack's back and excited her beyond control. The orange mare made her way down Rarity's sides once again. This time continuing down her leg, she took time to massage her delicate hooves. Rarity seemed to enjoy the treatment as she closed her eyes and stretched her leg out. Applejack kissed her ankle and worked her way back up her leg until she was resting her chin on her stomach looking up into Rarity's barely open eyes.

"Don't stop, I want you so badly right now." Rarity spoke softly as she wrapped her legs around Applejack's back.

The excited mare laughed to herself, knowing her foreplay was more than adequate. She crawled back up and whispered into her ear. "I wanna hear you beg for it."

Rarity's eyes opened wide as she felt a soft warm tongue brushing across the inside of her ear. As warm lips wrapped around the tip of her ear accompanied by gentle teeth, Rarity lost control of herself. "Please Applejack, I want you now. Right now."

"What was that?"

"I said I want you to go down on me right now!" Rarity was breathing heavily and her face was hot.

With another long lick across her sensitive ear, Applejack broke the last straw. "Say it again."

A flustered Rarity grabbed the teasing earth pony and threw her over on her back. She mounted her quickly and placed her hooves on the headboard, nesting Applejack's muzzle right between her legs. Applejack wasn't used to being put into a submissive position, but she liked it. She stuck her tongue out and let Rarity do all the work much to the excited unicorn's delight. She pressed her hips forward and back in a rhythmic rotation allowing Applejack's front teeth to grind up against her clit. As the motions grew more forceful, she ran booth hooves through her own soft purple mane and let out less than subtle moans. After a few final powerful thrusts, Rarity exploded into an intense orgasm. She screamed Applejack's name at the top of her lungs as a torrent of orgasmic ejaculation filled the shocked mare's mouth.

Rarity fell backwards across Applejack's legs, who ravenously licked her lips and swallowed every delicious drop of Rarity's sweet tang.

"Well that sure was a surprise." Applejack chuckled.

"Shut up..." Rarity spoke while gasping for breath and still quivering from overwhelming pleasure.

"I liked it. I'm impressed. I sure wish i could do that."

"I'm sure you do. I'll see if I can help you with that." Rarity sat up and mostly caught her breath.

She reached over and pulled Applejack in for another tongue filled kiss, licking the taste of herself right out of the overexcited pony's mouth. Rarity's horn lit up as she opened a small drawer hidden across from the bed. From within she pulled out a large light blue vibrator.

"I think I like where this is going." Applejack's eyes widened as Rarity levitated the sex toy closer.

"I know you're going to like where this is going." Rarity forced it into Applejack's mouth.

Applejack attempted to speak with the large toy in her mouth but couldn't. She spat it out and licked her lips. "That's not what I had in mind."

"Well you can't expect me to simply force it in can you?" Rarity ran her tongue up and down the long blue shaft, lightly wetting the entire thing.

After deciding it was perfect, she pushed Applejack over once again. This time climbing up on top of her and licking her friend's already parted lips before letting her tongue slip into her mouth. Applejack moaned into Rarity's mouth as the unicorn used her magic to force the vibrating toy inside of her. Rarity continued to force the toy in and out as she shoved her tongue deep into the trembling mare's mouth. Applejack moaned out loud in a deep state of ecstasy as she wrapped her arms and legs tightly around Rarity's slender body. Applejack began to speak with Rarity's tongue still dancing gracefully across her own. She begged her to keep going, and not to stop. With a final thrust Applejack came. She roughly ran her hooves down Rarity's back and rolled over on top of her. She rested her face against her soft white shoulder as she panted.

Exhausted, both mares covered up and held each other tightly. They laid side by side and pressed their muzzles together, kissing one another every few minutes. An hour slipped by as the two infatuated ponies laid in each other's arms, neither said a word as they gazed deeply into the other's eyes. With each passing minute another buried feeling of love was realized between the two. Applejack lowered her head into Rarity's chest and squeezed her tightly. Rarity could count her heartbeats as she stroked her loving friend's mane.

"Applejack... I don't want you to model anymore..."

She looked up at Rarity with wide confused eyes.

"It's just... I'll help you with anything you need. And if you'd like, you're more than welcome to stay here with me." Rarity pulled Applejack's head back against her chest and continued to stroke her mane, hiding her own tearing eyes.

Applejack knew exactly where Rarity was coming from. She wanted to keep Applejack all to herself.

"I'll do whatever you want Rarity, I'm all yours."
