Keep on Skating (An appledash fanfic)

Chapter 15

Let me know what cha think :)

Rainbow hissed in pain. She squeezed Applejack's hand tightly for a few seconds.

"Oww".

Applejack rubbed her arm comfortingly. She looked at Twilight who sitting behind Rainbow Dash, cleaning the lashes on Rainbow's back. They were pretty nasty. Twilight was using her magic to lessen the pain. She even knew a spell that would heal Rainbow completely. Only scars would remain.

Twilight put her hands down and smiled.

"Finished".

Rainbow relaxed, though not too much because of the pain. Her back was torn up and just moving the slightest bit hurt like hell. Twilight had disinfected and patched her up so it could heal. Rainbow squeezed Applejack's hand again when a bolt of pain shot up her back. She tensed up, her eyes squeezed shut.

Rainbow Dash felt a hand rubbing her arm. Peeking with one eye, she saw Applejack looking at her. She opened her other eye and looked at Applejack.

"Thanks", she managed to force out to her friend.

Applejack gave a short nod in response.

"Let's get chur shirt back on", she said.

Suddenly Rainbow felt a poke on her stomach, making her jump. She turned her head. Pinkie was staring at her stomach. Rainbow looked down. Pinkie's finger was still touching her stomach. Looking up, she covered her stomach with her arms. She felt insecure when people looked at her when her body was exposed.

"Um Pinkie??. What are you doing??", she asked.

"I didn't know you had abs", Pinkie replied.

Rainbow snickered.

"Well I do work out", she said. "Gotta stay fit for soccer and all the sports I play at school".

Rainbow made a muscle with her arm. She smirked.

"I know", she said. "These bad boys are quite impressive".

Rainbow looked at Applejack.

"You know you want to", she said, wiggling her eyebrows playfully.

Applejack laughed softly. She reached out and squeezed Rainbow's bicep. To her surprise, it was solid. Rainbow actually had some muscle on her skinny little body.

"Wow. Rainbow", Applejack said. "Ya actually have muscle. And here ah thought you were a skinny little stick".

Applejack pulled her hand away. She smirked.

"But ah'm still stronger than you".

Rainbow rolled her eyes. "I'm way faster than you, though".

"That's true", Applejack said. "You're on the track team after all".

Rainbow nodded.

"To be honest, sports and school is the only reason my dad willingly lets me out of the house", she said.

The girls' faces fell at the mention of her dad. Rainbow felt an awkwardness in the air. She shrunk back, her eyes on the floor.

"Sorry".

Applejack looked around. She decided to break the tension.

"You must be exhausted", she said. "You need ta sleep it off".

Right on cue, Rainbow yawned. Her eyelids drooped a bit.

"I think you're right".

"Coarse ah am", AJ said, smirking.
