Rarity and Sunset Shimmer looked at each other from across the room. Rarity gave a thumbs up and then went back to looking at her phone.
It took a bit of discussing and a few weeks of actually getting a day where Applejack and Rainbow could be comfortable. Applejack had been quite busy the past month or two. With interviews and performances. A bit of traveling to other towns. Rainbow had gone with her a few times, the girls wanting Rainbow Dash to see the world and not stay cooped up in Applejack's large house.
Rainbow was so excited to see all the new faces and places. Her adventurous side came out during those trips.
The magazines were now filled with updates on pics of Rainbow Dash and Applejack, still wondering who Rainbow was and even questioned her beanie and lack of display of ears on the sides of her head.
Applejack had kept Rainbow out of her interviews, not wanting anyone to ask Rainbow questions Rainbow was for certain not going to want to answer, but brought her to recording sessions along with whatever of their friends that had nothing else to do on those days, to keep Rainbow company. Rainbow Dash got to meet her dad as well. All their friends had come with them that day.
Her dad had loved Rainbow Dash immediately.
He treated her like his own kid. He showed her around the studio and talked to her and even played with her. He was pretty okay with Rainbow being part animal. After the initial shock wore off, he was fine and accepted Rainbow Dash with a big fatherly hug.
Applejack showed her the recording booth. The sound guy showed her the controls and what they did. He even let her play with the controls.
Everyone that worked there was sworn not to tell anyone about Rainbow. They let Rainbow walk freely around the place, already getting use to her. Of course Rainbow got some weird looks as she walked around all fours down the halls of the building. Applejack just told Rainbow to ignore it. The two had spent a while exploring the place together, Applejack bring the watchful eye over Rainbow. Rainbow returned the favor by sticking to Applejack's side.
That day, she had been like a guard dog and warily eyed any adult that got close to Applejack or talked to her. It was hilarious to watch for the other girls.
They knew Rainbow Dash was jealous. At times Applejack displayed some jealousy when Rainbow was inspecting someone, smelling their hand to get their scent, or being carried on someone's back. Applejack would try to hide a pout or a scowl and she would call Rainbow to look at something and Rainbow Dash would be right back by her side.
Everyone loved Rainbow Dash.
After that they had went out to eat pizza. Rainbow tried it for the first time, which she loved. Rainbow got a side order of chicken tenders. Applejack also bought fries for the group to share and a cheeseburger. She had split it between Rainbow and herself.
Rainbow had claimed to have had the best meal of her life that day. Rainbow was particularly hungry that day, so she ate her portion of food after trying and loving all of it. Of course, she shared the meal with their friends if they asked for a bite.
Now they had gone to that spot to eat every time they went to the studio.
Sunset looked over at where Rainbow Dash and Applejack were sitting on the living room couch. Applejack had her guitar on her lap, working on a song, with Rainbow sitting cross cross, eating a large chocolate chip cookie, listening and watching with pure interest. But it was probably just the sugar she was consuming at the moment.
