Applejack began pulling the cart full of fallen apple tree branches back to the barn where she would store them until they were ready to be put through the wood chipper in town. The uphill climb wasn't much of a hassle for Applejack, but she would have preferred walking on even ground, just the same. The paths through the orchard were never very well kept, and did not suit pulling a heavy cart uphill very well. It was all Applejack had to work with, however, so she continued to truck on. She looked back at the cart to make sure the precious box she had received from Rainbow Dash earlier had not been crushed.

Her stomach felt rotten every time she thought of the way she treated Dash three hours before. She had been nothing but sweet and courteous...and right. Everything did happen for a reason, including Applejack's hesitation. It wason account of her cowardice to face what she had commited to. And for this, her love was paying the price.

"She ain't your love, Applejack..." Applejack whispered to herself. "She's...she was...just a phase..." The more and more Applejack said that, the more sick of herself she got. "Ain't nopony gonna see or think otherwise...not anymore." She then remembered the box. That sweet little box with the adorable Chocolate heart in it. Rainbow Dash had thought about her enough to buy it for her...and she kicked Rainbow to the curb. So coldly, so heartlessly.

Applejack arrived at the barn and pulled the cart in, disattaching herself from it and pushing it into a snug little nook, ready to be taken to town the next day. She sighed as she left the barn and went inside. Granny Smith regarded her.

"Hey there, Applejack!" Granny said, smiling warmly. Applejack, too emotionally and physically tired just nodded at her. "Hard day today?"

"You could say that..." Applejack somberly stated. "Ah'm goin' to bed."

"Well, don't go yet." Granny said. "Ya never did tell me about your date with that Caramel colt. What's he like?"

"He's uh...really cute and funny. He's charming and he seems...loyal and trusting. The only drawback about him is he's a bit forgetful. But, that is somethin' Ah can get past. We're goin' out again Saturday." Applejack said with a small smile. Granny Smith nodded happily.

"Ah'm so happy you found somepony, Applejack." Applejack's grandmother said. They both heard a gasp from in the kitchen. Applebloom came bounding out, looking at both of them.

"Applejack's with somepony?!" Applebloom said with a wide smile. "Who is it?"

"Caramel." Applejack said flatly.

"But, Ah thought he was with Berry Punch..." Applebloom said.

"Yeah, me too. Ah'll have to ask him about it next time Ah see him." Applejack said. "Now, if ya'll will excuse me, Ah'm gonna go to bed. Been a long day." Her family nodded at her.

"Alright then, sweetie. Good night." Granny Smith said.

"G'night, Applejack!" Applebloom beamed. Applejack nodded at them and moved to her bedroom. Applejack removed her stetson and placed it on her bedpost. She then collapsed into her bed, not even bothering to remove her hair ties. She sighed as she slowly closed her eyes to try to get a good night's sleep, but sleep never came. Awareness remained a burden on her head for what seemed like an eternity. She finally opened her eyes with a frustrated groan.

She began to think about things...things that made her happy. Those usually calmed her down. She thought of Apple Bucking, and spending time with Applebloom playing ball and racing...and Rainbow Dash. Applejack quickly shook her head to try to lose these thoughts, but they remained in her head as if they were put there by some hideously strong outside force using strong adhesive. She tried thinking of Caramel to offset this, failing miserably. Thoughts of Rainbow Dash's sweet smile, her beautiful rose eyes, her eye-catching combination of a rainbow mane and a cyan coat reigned supreme, torturing her with her guilt.

She then remembered the heart. The chocolate heart given to her by Rainbow Dash earlier that day. The chocolate heart she seemed to treasure now, for some reason. She quickly stood up and quietly walked through her house, taking care not to disturb her slumbering family. She walked out of the house through the back door, (The front door always squeaked.) and ambled toward the barn. She was grateful for the cold temperatures that most likely preserved the heart in it's hardened chocolate state.

Applejack opened the barn door and walked toward the cart, full of lumber and somewhere inside it, the box with the chocolate heart. She dug through the branches and sticks, slowly becoming more and more panicked at the abscence of the box. To her great relief, she found the box under three sticks, in the same shape as it was before. Suddenly, Applejack heard the barn door shut. Startled, she spun around to see Rainbow Dash, brows slightly furrowed.

"R-Rainbow? What're you doin' here?" Applejack said, stunned. "Ah thought Ah told ya not to come back." Applejack wished she could take the words back as soon as they left her mouth.

"What can I say?" Rainbow replied. "I'm a rule-breaker." Applejack rolled her eyes.

"Seriously. What're ya doin' here, Rainbow? Ah told ya it's over." Applejack stated. Rainbow chuckled to herself.

"When are you going to get over yourself and just face facts?" Rainbow asked, an eyebrow raised.

"Excuse me?" Applejack responded, taking a step forward.

"You can't live without me." Rainbow said, taking a step forward. "You think about me every minute we're apart."

"Ah'm goin' back inside..." Applejack said. "Move, Rainbow." Rainbow smirked wickedly as she looked past Applejack to see the box on the cart.

"Oh! And look! You even kept the little chocolate heart! I knew you would."

"Rainbow, Ah said move."

"Or what?" The pegasus said. "You gonna make me?" Applejack shot toward Rainbow at alarming speed and shoved her, hard, into the barn door. Rainbow's eyes narrowed and she smiled as she ran at Applejack, pushing her into a wall. Rainbow put a hoof on each of Applejack's front legs, pinning her to the wall. Applejack groaned as she struggled against Rainbow's assault. The farm mare managed to push Rainbow Dash off enough to roll and have the pegasus against a wall. Applejack gritted her teeth in rage as Rainbow merely smirked. Applejack's eyes widened slightly.

'Ah'm just playin' her game...' She thought. Immediately, Rainbow shot her head forward and kissed Applejack, taking the mare by suprise. Applejack gasped slightly before feeling her resolve crumble into hundreds of tiny, insignificant pieces. She had been through too much and received so little today...damned if she wasn't going to get something out of this...and it felt so good.

Rainbow smiled as the kiss continued, growing more and more passionate as Applejack fell further and further into Rainbow Dash's trap. Rainbow quickly pushed herself off the wall, landing Applejack on her back. The pegasus came down on top of her. Applejack blushed wildly as she looked up at Rainbow. Rainbow merely smiled as she continued their kiss, slipping her tongue into Applejack's mouth, making the farm mare moan. Applejack's heart threatened to break from her chest. The connection had been made, and once it was in effect, there was no stopping it.

Rainbow Dash's wings slowly became unfurled as she undulated her body on top of Applejack's making her level of arousal skyrocket. Applejack then broke the kiss, moved and picked Rainbow up, putting her against the wall again, this time supporting and kneading her flank, moving the pegasus' back legs up around her sides. Rainbow smiled as Applejack began to kiss her neck, taking small oppurtunities to suck on the sensitive flesh.

"I knew you'd-nya-miss this..." Rainbow whispered sultrily into Applejack's ear. Applejack had supressed her passions long enough, and they exploded into a crescendo. If Rainbow wanted it, Applejack was going to give it to her better than she had ever gotten it. Applejack moved downwards, placing small kisses on Rainbow's chest, stomach and finally her lower lips. Dash was quite wet at this point, and Applejack wasted no time in taking the entirety of Rainbow's marehood into her mouth. Rainbow gasped. She moaned loudly as Applejack placed her legs over her shoulders and began massaging her flank arousingly while she went to work on her. Using her tongue, Applejack slid it in between the slick, wet folds and moved it around slowly, deliberately, stimulating it in all the right places in all the right ways.

Rainbow Dash's mind was in a haze. She threw her head back, her eyes half lidded, a heavy blush present on her face as she breathed heavily. Applejack continued her assault, sometimes stopping to swirl her tongue on Rainbow's clitoris before moving back to the main folds. Rainbow's breathing became more and more erratic and frantic, signaling the approach of orgasm.

Rainbow's ears splayed back as she climaxed, leaking her liquid arousal into Applejack's mouth. Rainbow squeezed slightly with her thighs, giving a kind of signal for Applejack to stop. Applejack didn't stop, however, as she continued to rub Rainbow's vulva with a hoof.

Rainbow's mouth hung open as Applejack brought her closer and closer to a second orgasm. She was not holding back whatsoever. Rainbow's mind became even foggier as her second orgasm approached, even more intense than the first. Rainbow's arousal built twice as fast this second time, and twice as explosively.

Rainbow climaxed a second time, her wings flaring out as her body went limp, putty in Applejack's hooves. Applejack let Rainbow Dash sink to the ground as she recovered from her world-rocking orgasms. Breathing heavily, Rainbow layed down on her belly, eyes half lidded. She was able to recover remarkably quickly as she sat up. Applejack knew what this meant as she layed down on her back.

Rainbow Dash went down between her legs and took a long lick up Applejack's flower, making the farm mare shiver. Rainbow sucked on Applejack's clit, making Applejack squirm, as she began rubbing Applejack's lower lips with a hoof. The combination of these two seperate forms of stimulation drove Applejack insane. Rainbow changed up her movements, switching from a circle pattern to a firm, pressing motion. Applejack moaned, closing her eyes and letting the feeling take her over. These motions continued over several minutes as the pleasure slowly built up to bringing Applejack on the very cusp of climax.

Applejack groaned as she felt her inner walls contract, showing that orgasm was near. Applejack began moving her lower body up to meet Rainbow's mouth, further increasing the stimulation. Rainbow redoubled her efforts in pleasing her love, making her moan with ecstacy.

Applejack threw her head back as her orgasm took her, sparks of warmth shooting through her body as her ejaculate leaked into Rainbow's mouth. Applejack quickly jumped up with a vigor that suprised even her. She pushed Rainbow Dash back into the wall, gripping her flank again. Then, without warning, Applejack smashed her sex against Rainbow's rubbing them together furiously with short thrusts. Rainbow spread her legs as much as she could to give Applejack full access. Rainbow moaned into Applejack's ear, spurring her on to continue. Every time Applejack thrust forward, rubbing their marehoods together, a spark ingited within the both of them, making them moan and squeal together.

Rainbow began counter-thrusting against Applejack to increase their stimulation as they both fell further into the vortex that was their arousal. Applejack continued rubbing against the pegasus as she started to massage Rainbow's flank, rubbing the smooth flesh, squeezing and rubbing. Rainbow responded to this by moving her body against Applejack's in such a way that her hips went along with Applejack's as well as rubbing their bellies and chests together. Applejack slapped Rainbow's flank slightly, earning a suprised squeak from the pegasus.

Rainbow Dash was swept up in an orgasm, making her moan loudly. To silence her, Applejack kissed her, shoving her tongue into her mouth. Rainbow was quick to reciprocate, rubbing Applejack's tongue with hers frantically to stop herself from being too loud. Applejack's pleasure was further enhanced by Rainbow's juices, soaking both of their marehoods, increasing friction and allowing Applejack to move slightly faster. Applejack disconnected from their kiss to throw her head back as she climaxed as well, sending even more juices into the arousing combination below. Both mares slowly rode out their orgasms, their thrusting decreasing in speed and number as they faded away. Both mares fell back on the floor and laid there, breathing heavily, in the afterglow of both of their orgasms.

Rainbow Dash could not have been happier. She had finally gotten Applejack to show how she really felt. They could finally be together again. Rainbow's heart nearly burst with joy when she turned to hug Applejack, but it sank when she noticed the farm mare wasn't there, instead, she was walking toward the door. Rainbow stood up and looked after her.

"AJ, wait..." Rainbow said. Applejack turned to her.

"What?" The farm mare said flatly.

"Well...I mean...what happens now?" Rainbow asked. Applejack frowned and looked away from her.

"Nothin'. Absolutely nothin'. We go our seperate ways, and this never happened." Applejack stated plainly. Rainbow's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You can't be serious..." Rainbow said. "But we just..."

"Ah did this so that you could be satisfied." Applejack said. "If it worked, great, but if it didn't, there's nothin' Ah can do." Rainbow's eyes narrowed in fury.

"What is wrong with you?" The pegasus said angrily. "Why would you do this, and then leave me again?"

"What, there's somethin' wrong with me with wanting to stay loyal to my new coltfriend? Ah mean, really, Rainbow! Ah'm with somepony now."

"You were with me first!" Rainbow suddenly screamed, slamming a hoof down and making Applejack jump. Applejack looked at Rainbow. She was trembling with fury, tears flooding her eyes. The pegasus' voice then softened significantly as she looked down to the ground. "Sometimes I think you forget that..."

"Rainbow, Ah told ya once, Ah'll tell ya a thousand times. We're over." Rainbow looked up at Applejack.

"You can't possibly mean that and believe it for yourself." Rainbow said. "I know better. You kept the heart..."

"Ah was hungry." Applejack stated. Rainbow's ears splayed back.

"Why are you doing this?" She asked. "Stop lying to me. Stop lying to yourself!"

"Ah'm doin' this because we ain't an item anymore! Can't you get that through that thick skull of yours?!" Applejack yelled.

"No!" Rainbow yelled. "No, I can't, y'know why?! Because it's a load of bull! You're just too stubbon to admit it!"

"You don't tell me what Ah am and am not! Ah know what the hay Ah am, and it's truthful! Now get outta here!" Applejack yelled.

"Fine. I'm done with this place anyway!" Rainbow said, walking to the door. She stopped in the doorway and looked back at Applejack with tears in her eyes. She spoke softly, sorrow and hurt lacing her words, like a poison in Applejack's blood. "...Bye, Applejack. I don't know when I'll see you next...So before I go...one last kiss." Applejack's expression did not change as she shook her head. Rainbow frowned as a tear fell from her eye. She looked down. "I'm tired of crying over you, AJ." Rainbow then flew out of the barn into the night sky.

Applejack stood where she was for what seemed like five minutes. Her heart shattered as her legs faltered as she landed on the ground. Applejack looked back at the little pink box laying on top of the cart. Feeling her resolve degrade into nothing, Applejack hung her head and cried.

Mmmm......donuts
