I suck in a deep breath. If she answers the door, there's no going back with my pride intact. I'll have to get over all the worrying and just come right out and say it. Easy, right? I'm good at just saying stuff that may or may not get me up the creek.

Suddenly, the door's open, and there she is. I feel a little bad when I see her, 'cuz it's obvious she was just sleeping. "Rainbow? What're you doin' here?" Her accent's a lot thicker when she's tired. It makes me smile, just a little.

"Hey, AJ. I need to tell you something," the words come out perfectly! I don't stutter or stammer or anything!

Applejack catches on to my seriousness, and beckons me inside. We stand face to face in the living room.

"Lay it on me, Dash. Who did y'all kill?"

"W-what?!" So much for not stuttering. "No one! Jeez, who do you think I am?"

She lowers a brow and just looks at me.

"Ok, not cool," I try to get back on topic. "Listen, Applejack, something's changed," I have to force myself not to skirt her gaze. "How I feel about you, I mean. It's uh...different,"

Applejack blinks. "Rainbow, where're you goin' with this?"

"AJ, I..." I swallow hard. "I'm like, into you. Romantically."

And, suddenly, her face warps. She bursts into loud, rowdy laughter, slapping her knee and everything.

My heart drops right to my ass.

Laughing. She's laughing, at me...

Something shifts. I swing around, ready to hightail out the door but— there's no door, any more. Just more wall. I turn back, and she's wiping a tear from the corner of her eye, wearing the biggest, cruelest smile I've ever seen.

"Oh, that's a good one, sugarcube!" She shakes her head, "Ah needed a good laugh today. Gosh, imagine that— you bein' inta girls! It's kookier than a koala on roller skates!"

"W...what?"

"Not t'mention yer already spoken for, what with yer boyfriend 'n all,"

"My...boyfriend?" I feel a presence behind me, all of a sudden.

"Well, yeah. Dick, yer boyfriend! He's just about the finest guy at CHS, with his man parts and head shape and whatnot,"

I crane my head. There, hovering behind me, is a guy. He's shirtless, and smirking, and running his hands through his hair for no discernible reason. "What's up, babycakes," he croons at me, and a horror grips my soul like nothing I've ever felt before.

I whip back around to face AJ. "I've never even seen this guy before! Apples, come on, this is crazy! I'm...I'm..."

"Yer what, gay?" She scoffs. "Quit pullin' mah leg, Rainbow. That's almost as ridiculous as the sky bein' blue, or as me bein' a lesbian!"

The house tears itself down around us. Applejack keeps laughing. Dick keeps dicking around.

"This can't be...this can't be right,"

"It's exactly right, sugarcube. If'n you were gay, Ah'd prolly drag you kickin' 'n screamin' to the barn and bludgeon ya to death with a shovel! Yeehaw!"

"No...you...I..."

"We're both normal straight girls, Dashie. Straight girls who're best friends! And we're gonna get married to two strong guys, and have three kids 'n a picket fence, 'n have plenty of STRAIGHT SEX!"
