this is a love song for a girl, who'll never know it's about her

TW: Homophobic slurs (They're just two and in the middle of the chapter.)

Applejack immediately went home after she shared the coffee bill with Rarity.

'Blue Ink, Blue Ink, Blue Ink'

She was trying to remember the name of the singer Rarity had showed her. She wanted to check out their other music, watch some interviews and see how they look like. You never know who you might see on the street.

'Pfsh, as if I would see them someday'

Applejack layed down on her bed and then she reached out for her phone. She plugged it in the charger and searched up their name. Few music videos came up. She clicked the 2nd one, since Rarity had already showed her the first one.

Nice bass started to play, as Applejack rested her head on her pillow and enjoyed the song. She watched the music video closely, trying to find the singer. She doesn't really know how they look like. Suddenly, as the voice began to sing, a beautiful rainbow haired girl appeared and mouthed the lyrics. Her eyes were rose pink, her skin was pale, her lips naturally red. Applejack couldn't help but find her attractive.

She had seen a lot of attractive girls, after all.

On top of that, the music was great. Pop-rock genre, she guessed. It was definitely leaning more to the rock genre though.

'Perfect for me'

"Applejack!"  A voice called out from downstairs. "Come down', you hav' t' taste what Sugar Belle jus' baked!"

Applejack sighed.

"Comin' ,granny."

After coming back up from the kitchen to her room, Applejack grabbed her phone, which had already fully chargered, and sat on the arm chair which was close to the window.

She watched few interviews, and Applejack came to the conclusion that Blue Ink is great person and has unique personality. If she weren't famous and they knew each other, Applejack believed that they would be great friends.

Applejack clicked on the video of the last interview and listened to the 6 minutes long cut out of the original video.

"In one of your songs, you hinted that you never actually came out, and that everybody else around you just figured out you were gay. How did that happen?" The man immediately asked her and then gave his mic to the rainbow haired girl.

"Well, as a child I usually played football with the boys and never played Barbies with the girls. Instead, I wish the girls played with me. I had a lot of pre-school crushes, and I never bothered to tell them because I didn't know what a 'crush' was, I was literally a five years old" She laughed

"In highschool, people were stereotyping me. They think that tomboy equals lesbian, which is not true. I had a lot of straight tomboy friends. Stereotyping always pissed me off. If you assume I'm a lesbian, don't use the 'Oh well you're boyish' excuse. You can be gay no matter how you look like. I just didn't hide it when I had girlfriends, that's how people figured out that I'm gay."

Applejack nodded her head to herself in agreement.

"Only person I actually came out to was my childhood friend, who I'm still very good friends with. I won't say her name because of privacy reasons. She was getting bullied a lot, because she was very introverted and shy. The bullies then targered me, while calling me slurs like 'Dyke' and 'Faggot'. My friend asked me what those words meant, so I explained it to her, eventually coming out. She was very supportive, of course, and I couldn't be happier."

"How did your parents find out?"

Applejack gripped her phone and listened carefully, hopefully this would help her come out to her family.

"Like my classmates, they figured it out themselves. Bringing home my first girlfriend when I was fourteen helped them a lot. Later they told me that even before my girlfriend, they knew I was like this. My parents are extremely accepting and supporting, maybe a little too much, but hey, I was happy."

Applejack frowned since she thought the answer will be more helpful, but she was glad that at least someone had got accepting family.

She didn't bother to watch the rest of the video. She shut off her phone and threw it on the bed, before she jumped next to it. She layed on her stomach and signed, maybe a little too loud. She heard a knock next to her.

"Come in."

The door opened. Applejack didn't bother to look at the person who just walked in.

"Hey AJ." The voice spoke.

It was Sugar Belle, her brother's fiancee. She was very nice and got along with Applejack just fine. Applejack was so glad that her brother didn't bring some bitchy and mean girl home. Applejack thought that only she would make the best Sister-in-law.

"Hey Sugar Belle." Applejack sat up on her bed. She obviously couldn't talk while laying down on her face.

"I noticed you were acting a bit weird downstairs and heard you sign while I was passing by your room. Are you okay?" She asked.

"I'm great, Sugar Belle. I don't know why you would be so worried."Applejack awkwardly smiled.  Sugar Belle frowned.

"We all know you're a terrible liar, Applejack." She said and sat down next to Applejack. "Now spill."

Rainbow Dash tapped the desk with her pen and signed.

There was huge board above her work place, that said 'Blue Ink'.

No inspiration for music, no anything. She was planning to start working on her new album, since her last album was released last year. She hated delaying important stuff like her music career, but what could she do?

Before, she was writing and singing about her past experiences with girls, mainly in highschool. But she wanted to forget that. She wanted to forget about them, she wanted to focus on the present.
She wanted to make her music much more personal, much more real to her. It was what she always wanted, but she couldn't achieve that, because it's not what the audience liked.

And Rainbow Dash had no one to share her experiences with. After she became famous, of course. Now, she is 'just a lesbian singer' . Rainbow Dash hated that.

She didn't want to be known for being gay, she wanted to be known for her good music. She wished that people appreciated her art, not just her sexuality.

"Fuck this." She said and turned off her computer. She signed and walked out of her work room. Her house was huge enough for big room where she mostly wrote her songs. There was a studio next to it, where she produced everything, but that's topic for different time.

Rainbow Dash finally reached her  room. She closed the door behind her and signed.

'I hate all of this'

(Author's note) I'm sorry for this short chapter but I kinda started this without thinking and I kinda had no idea what to do. So why not write a short introduction to Dash >:))
