An Inconvenient Attachment // Appledash

chapter 47

During the band rehearsal, Rarity got excited to show everyone her new outfits she handmade to fit any possible event that may arise in the games, catered to each individuals preferences. As she was pulling racks of hung garments towards her friends, an assortment of colours flying with them, she began to glow and her predicted ears and tail sprouted from her head and back. Sunset had been investigating what was happening and noticed these events happen back to back with Pinkie as well as Fluttershy when they were expressing their elements. And she didn't know how to help them. The games were around the corner and she felt totally out of control. The one person she thought she could confide in wasn't even answering her notes she'd transport to her via their communication book that links her magic to the distant pony world. With the silent suffering of the burden presented upon her shoulders by Vice Principal Luna to solve the schools magic problems, alongside the new development of the portal somehow returning to its stone form, it was too much. Devising a plan, she concluded her main target had to be Twilight Sparkle, an interrogation of what the Prep student was up to would be needed to settle some conspiracies.

"Hey AJ, I got invited to a party!" Dash called across the girls room, the heavy scent of sweat and wood lingering in the air as Applejack switched out her clothes for something less worked to the bone. Looking up from the invite on her phone, her satisfied gaze met AJ's toned body as she slid a loose shirt over her benefits, any evidence of her muscular strength hidden. 

"Who's party?" The other replied, messily tossing the damp farm top into the corner of her tiled bathroom floor before making her way over to where Rainbow was sitting on the bed. To answer her question, she passed the phone over to let the girl examine the text, eyes instantly darting to the sender.

"Your sport friends huh? Didn't go great the last time you partied with them..." AJ simply replied, thoughts clearly going back to one of their past interactions. Rainbow let a kind smile grow on her face. 

"That's why I wanted to ask you. If you don't want me to go, I won't. Simple as that sweetheart." 

"Sweetheart? We're doing nicknames now are we?" Applejack pinpointed the closing word specifically and raised an eyebrow in a teasing manner. Dash reached out her two arms to grasp onto the girls body infront of her, pulling AJ's form closer by her hips until she was close enough to let her hands run up and down Applejacks sides comfortingly. 

"Well you call me sugarcube, about time I get to call you something too," Dash explains. AJ shrugged in response, "You can call me whatever you want darlin." 

Rainbow tilted her head at the introduction of yet another name. "Darling? It's funny. Sounds very different compared to when Rarity says it." 

Applejack takes a step forward and lifts a hand to raise Rainbow's chin, looking down at her with a powerful eyeline before pushing herself into a strong kiss, immediately causing the other to desire more. As Dash instinctively leans in to gain further taste, AJ pulls away and instead moves towards her ear and whispers, "But I make it sound so much better."
