Chapter 12

Enjoy and so sorry for the looong wait. Writers block got me. Mostly laziness but writers block played a big role. Enjoy :)

-The next day-

Applejack had gotten up. She moaned out sleepily, covering her eyes with her hands. The blonde rubbed her eyes. She saw Rainbow Dash laying in her arms.

Applejack smiled, watching the sleeping girl. She looked so beautiful. Well, she looked beautiful any other time as well. But now, Rainbow was completely relaxed and peaceful for once. Applejack couldn't remember a time she saw Rainbow Dash relaxed. She was always rigid and on alert and jumpy although she tried to hide it from the girls.

Applejack wanted to reach out and touch her cheek and hold her in her arms. But she couldn't. Last night was just a best friend gesture. But what if Rainbow did like her than more than just a friend??. Could it be??.

Applejack sighed quietly. She couldn't know for sure and that sucked. For now, she'll be the best friend Rainbow so desperately needs. Hopefully she'd get answers at some point.

But there was no way Rainbow liked her like that. Yes, she liked girls. But last night didn't mean anything.

Applejack thought to herself.

Did she like Rainbow more than just a friend??. Of coarse. Who wouldn't like her??. She was beautiful, athletic, an amazing friend, sweet, funny, smart. The girl was perfect. Applejack looked at the way Rainbow was basically glowed in the morning light of the room. She looked like sleeping beauty.

Suddenly Rainbow shifted. The teen groaned, bringing a hand up to her face. Rainbow rubbed her eyes.

She opened them, immediately seeing Applejack. She jumped.

"Oh hi", she said.

Applejack waved and smiled at her.

"Good mornin sleepin beauty", she said.

Rainbow smiled. "Heyy. It's you".

Suddenly Rainbow Dash realized just how close they were to eachother. Her eyes widened. She stared at Applejack for a second, her face in obvious confusion.

"Um, Applejack??".

"Yeah??".

"Why are we........", Rainbow asked trailing off.

Applejack realized as well. The two sat up, immediately untangling.

"We kinda fell asleep like that", Applejack explained. "Remember??. You were sleepin on the floor an ah told you ta sleep next ta me".

Rainbow thought for a moment, then a look of realization crossed her face.

"Ohhh yeah. I remember now".

Rainbow blushed, looking at the floor.

"Sorry about that".

Applejack shrugged. "It's no problem. Ah didn't mind".

It was quiet between the two. Rainbow yawned.

"What time is it?".

Applejack looked around. She saw her phone charging nearby.

"Go check mah phone", she told Rainbow.

Rainbow got out of the bed and walked across the room, over to where Applejack's phone was charging. Kneeling down she picked up the phone and turned it on.

8:56am.

Rainbow's eyes widened.

"Oh no", she said. "It's 8:56am. I overslept".
