this is a love song for a girl, who'll never know it's about her

~10~

An hour of playing different games and winning different things, the two girls sat on a bench, watching the stars, laughing and eating cotton candy.

They sat in silence, glancing at each other every now and then and giggled from time to time. Applejack got used to the stares from people, even though they still made her quite uncomfortable. Rainbow Dash looked at her, and then eyed her cotton candy. Then she looked back at her own, noticing the difference in the colors.

"I wonder if the blue cotton candy tastes different." She said as she stared at Applejack's cotton candy, implying that she wants to try it.

"It's the same, sugarcube, it's all made from lot's of sugar. Ah usually don't eat unhealthy things like that, but since Ah— Hey!!"

She yelled as she watched Rainbow Dash eat a stolen piece of Applejack's food. Rainbow Dash looked back at Applejack and smirked."What? You said you don't like unhealthy food."

Applejack rolled her eyes. "Ah said Ah don't usually eat it, not that Ah don't like it. Now let me eat from yours."

"With your dirty sugary hands? No chance!"

"Yours are literally the same."

"That's different!"

Applejack stared at Rainbow Dash and then attacked her, or more like, attacked what she was holding. She grabbed huge piece of Rainbow Dash's cotton candy and stuffed it in her own mouth, trying not to get it in her hair.

"Hey! Mine was smaller."

Rainbow Dash could hear Applejack chuckle. She signed and walked towards the closest trash can, throwing the left overs in. Applejack looked at her and titled her head.

"I'm not hungry anymore!"

Applejack laughed as she playfully rolled her eyes. Rainbow Dash took out her phone and groaned.

"C'mon, let's go backstage, I need to perform in an hour."

The girls started walking towards where the stage is located. Applejack eyed Rainbow Dash.

"You don't seem too excited about performing." Applejack said.

"It's not like I hate performing, it can be cool sometimes! It's just the songs they make me sing..." Rainbow Dash tried to avoid eye contact, which made Applejack worried.

"Ah thought ya chose what to sing?"

"Sometimes, but most of the time they chose 'what the people liked'. And people really like the songs I regretted recording and releasing.." Applejack placed her hand on Rainbow Dash's shoulder, which Rainbow Dash took as a sign to continue talking. "You probably noticed from my last concert that some of my..songs...aren't with the brightest lyrics, right?" Applejack nodded.

"Well, I was in few abu— uh... you know, I—"

Applejack interrupted her. She sensed that Rainbow Dash was uncomfortable. "Ya don't have to tell me if you're not comfortable, sugar."

"But I want to!" Rainbow Dash whispered-yelled, they were still outside after all. "I've gotten so comfortable around you, I want you to know at least a bit about me."

Applejack signed in defeat as she removed her hand from Rainbow Dash.

"As I was saying, my lyrics are based on horrible relationships I've been in. Writing music became my coping mechanism and my dumbass published those songs for some reason. That's why my first album and EP are so dark themed. And then the fame got into me so my second album was mainly about sex and hooking up and.. y'know, all that stuff. And that's what the people want, but not what I want. I want to write about things, or something, or someone, that I love! But there's nothing. I don't care if my fans are gonna like it—"
