never a burden
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
paring: (equestria girls) applejack x fem!reader
tw: pining after each other, gentle flirting, hurt/comfort (reader fails a job application and applejack comforts her), applejack showcases her element of honesty in this, this is pretty much pure fluff
a/n: this is for my underrated girl, Applejack. She deserves more love and fics honestly. Anyways, enjoy!! Do not copy my work | not proofread
‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿
Granny spots you walking up, a funny looking grin making its way on her face as she waves. You lift a hand to wave back, “hey Granny Smith, I-“
“If you’re looking for Applejack she’s out by the barn,” your attention shifts to her figure off in the distance, “Maybe you can help bring her inside to cool off, she’s been working on fixin’ that fence since early this mornin.”
You thank granny, crossing the fields until Applejack was only a few feet away. She hears the crunching of the leaves and finds your figure standing across from her. You lean on nearby fencing, “hey you.”
“heya sugar cube,” she sits back on her calves, “what brings you all the way out here?”
You smile at her sweetly and take joy in her flustered expression. You slide off on teasing any further, explaining that you were picking something up for a friend and wanted to stop by. She wipes at her forehead, “I’m happy you did, it’s always good to see ya.”
Your heart warms at her sweet talk, “do you need any help?”
She shakes her head, going back to hammering nails into the wood. You sit in silence for a minute, watching how peaceful the moment around you was.
“Applejack,” she hums, “do you spend time in the fields?”
“Uh, well I am now. If that’s what you’re asking.”
“I mean, you have all this land, do you use it for more than just work?”
“Back when I was younger, sure I did. But things change.”
You stand straight, “what changed?”
“Granny got older, and so did I. Had to take on the responsibility for this here farm, and I couldn’t be more proud that she’s handed it down to me.”
You’re sure granny would be proud if someone where to point to a random fly and say they were her new pet, but you keep to yourself.
“Speaking of granny, she told me you’ve been out here all morning. Wanted me to come bring you inside so you can cool off.”
“Just after—“
She slows at the feeling of your hand on hers, “please?”
With a roll of her eyes, she’s walking you back to her house. You find yourself in her living room. She had excused herself a few minutes ago, turning and walking into the kitchen.
It seemed like only yesterday you just met the girl, sitting on her couch soaking wet, explaining why come knocking on their door. She had a sense of understanding, but was still very much reserved and confused, wondering why a random had come out to her house in the middle of a thunderstorm.
Her heavy footsteps announce her presence before she turns the corner, glasses in her hands, handing one to you.
“Imma open the windows, it’s hotter than a blister bug in a pepper patch today.”
You stand beside her, watching her tussle about with the window latches. It’s frustrating in how you’re blanking on how to act. You intentionally sought her out, and now that you have what you wanted, your hands are growing sweatier than they already were.
“So tell me, how’d your interview go? I’m so excited to hear,” her smile softens as she notices your body tense at her question. She makes a sympathetic sound, reaching and rubbing your arm.
“I guess I deserve it. They wanted over three years of experience and I’ve never even had a real job.”
“Hey now, don’t start on that nonsense. You have just of a right there as any other. You said they didn’t hire you because of inexperience? Well that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever—“
You hold onto her hand, “applejack its really alright. I’ll eventually get another interview.”
“I know you and I know how much this mattered to you. You don’t have to be all so positive happy all the time.”
You bite your cheek in hopes the pain would distract you from the tears building. She sighs, “I don’t mean to upset ya, I only am angry at the ones denying you.”
“You aren’t upsetting me. Thank you for listening.”
“Of course, sweet. Ya want a hug, they always make me feel better?”
The tears spill over and she’s cooing at you, moving your drinks onto the table near you. Her arms are already wrapping around you, pulling you near her, a hand patting your back, “go on, cry it all out.”
You laugh softly, going ahead and tightening your hold around her waist, “sorry, I didn’t mean to come over and worry you.”
“Never a burden, you’re always welcome. Let me go fetch some of that pie granny and I made just the other day, that’ll cheer you right up.”
She says, moving quickly into the kitchen. You step behind her, keeping close as she cuts a piece for you.
“Thank you.”
“You’re never a burden, sweetheart. Anytime.”

The Ponyville Weekly
Published on Jan 18th, 20XX
MISSING FILLY IN PONYVILLE! HAVE YOU SEEN SCOOTALOO?
Tumblr media
Everypony your help is needed now more than ever! A young Pegasus filly by the name of Scootaloo had reportedly gone missing since the night of January 14th. She was last seen by townspony by the border of the Everfree Forest.
Close friends state that she was also riding a dull blue scooter with red wheels when last seen. Scootaloo has a light orange coat, lavender irises, with a fuchsia mane and tale. Her cutie mark is a tri-colored shield with a wing and lightning bolt motif on it.
“ Please, if you guys see her please let me know, please,” Wonderbolt Rainbow Dash pleads in an interview with The Ponyville Weekly. “ Scootaloo isn’t the type to just, well, run off like this. I need to know she’s safe, I… Please help us find her.”
If you ever find yourself with time to spare, help Rainbow Dash and her friends on their mission to find Scootaloo. Until the next Wednesday, this is The Ponyville Weekly.

𝐌𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐧𝐲 : 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 (PROLOGUE)
  "Not another step!" Luna shouted, the power of her rage and jealousy boomed off the surrounding walls, "Did you really expect me to sit idly by while they all basked in your precious light?" she continued, her hair flowing around her wickedly.
  She walked up to a wooden podium, one in which had two alicorns carved into it.
  "There can only be one princess in Equestria, and that princess will be me!" suddenly her lifted hooves came crashing down onto the podium, shattering it immediately, leaving only one alicorn etched into its remains. Her eyes beamed a white glow, before it faded away to show her normal blue eyes again.
  The wall behind her cracked, all the way up until it hit the window, making that whole area explode from where it stood, leaving a huge hole in the wall. From behind that hole, the moon began to rise, as the princess lifted into the air with it. Her mouth was agape, she looked intently at the sky above her and lifted her front hooves above her head, following the moon that covered the sun.
  A thick black fog wrapped around her whole body, engulfing her completely as she transformed into a benevolent creature. Nightmare Moon.
  She formed from a ball of fire, her hair was a mist that flowed all around her, her pupils thinned to slits and her teeth became insanely sharp. Her laugh was maniac, before her face contorted into that of pure anger and rage. She shot her magic towards Celestia, who was flying, but she managed to dodge the beam. Celestia landed all four hooves on the ground, as she began to shout.
  "Luna! I will not fight you! You must lower the moon, it is your duty!" she yelled, her voice echoed like never before, the love and fear she had for her sister bubbled in her larynx.
  Celestia couldn't believe this was happening, but in her heart she knew the only one who could stop her sister was her. 
  Nightmare Moon began, “Luna?” she questioned, “I am Nightmare Moon!” she roared.
  Celestia was shocked. How could this mare truly believe she wasn’t her sister. Was this actually not Luna? Was this someone else entirely? 
  “I have but one duty now,” the dark mare lifted her head as she said this, “To destroy you!” she boomed as she used her magic beams towards what was once her sister, Celestia dodging once more. Celestia flapped her wings, flying into the air and through the hole made in the ceiling by Nightmare Moon a few minutes ago. “And where do you think you’re going?” Nightmare Moon asked crookedly, as she began to follow with wings of her own.
  Nightmare Moon shot her magic at her miscellaneously, aiming for her but missed several times and destroying the kingdom around her. The night sky shrouded the land, an empty feeling being apparent in every living being who knew it should be daylight. Suddenly, the magic from the twisted mare hit Celestia directly in the chest. The sun princess screamed as her body collapsed and she fell hundreds of feet until she hit the ground beneath her. Nightmare Moon laughed evilly once more.
  Celestia didn’t budge. No movements could be seen coming from her body, she was completely limp and her breathing could not be seen. In fact, there was no breathing at all. She was dead.
  What was once Luna, landed on the ground next to her sister slowly. She giggled to herself, before it turned into an outburst of laughter yet again. “Say goodbye to your precious princess, your precious sunlight. Equestria has a new queen!”

Tumblr media
What if Magical Mystery Cure was part of a parallel universe? What if the Mane Six of that world just had to make do?
Dasher Dreams loved flying. More than anything. The feeling of wind in her fur— it was the best thing she’d ever known. Until…
She was trying to defend her friend. it was just a race. she should have been fine, but she pushed herself too far. Like Icarus flying too close to the sun, Dash utilized the magic within to create the first— and only— ever recorded Sonic Rainboom. the most incredible thing she’d ever accomplished. she felt next to god. her joy did not last, as she began to plummet.
It was a miracle she survived, found covered in magic burns and rushed to the nearest hospital. they did the best they could, really, but Dasher would likely never fly again. not like she used to.
It was during her stay that she got her cutiemark. bored and heartbroken, trying to focus on anything but her pain… Limping around the hospital garden, she began to take in the beauty of the ground, of the flowers and the plants, and the insects and creatures that crawled over the green surface. she began to study them, utilizing the hospital library to find out everything she could about flora and fauna. She didn’t even realize her cutiemark had developed until her parents came to visit.
Her family moved to Ponyville, giving up on the sky, and adapting to the ground. Dasher devoted herself to ecology and conservation, and they were… okay. Not great, not horrible, either. It was just… okay.
Inspired by @kittelsin / honeybonches’s tiktoks!!!

matter of importance
— eg!rarity x reader
tw || no specific gender mentioned for reader but I imagined fem while writing, established relationship, hurt/comfort, angst w/ happy ending, first argument, not proofread
summary || rarity’s been asked to design a fashion line for a designer you know she’s been raving about since forever. after succeeding, she’s landed a full-time job as their designer. in doing so, she’s left you behind.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
༺mlp m.list༻
She’s chasing after her dreams—why would you wish to stop her from doing so. It’s been an incredibly long journey, you know as she’s been using you as a model for her clothes. That was until she got an offer, the one that’s now lead her down a path of success; but lately you’ve been afraid that her vision for a successful future is one without you.
You might’ve not enjoyed the feeling of her needle poking you from time to time when you were her model, but you enjoyed the time spent with her. Now she has real models to work with, important measurements to take. It was all done without you. Of course you try to be supportive by showing up to her events or being in the background. What kept you going was seeing her face light up when she would recognize you in the crowd. She still cares to see you.
You brought yourself over to her workspace, sitting on a nearby chair to watch her. An ugly feeling arising when you come to realize your plans will be cancelled again. Sitting in silence beside her can only be so much for so long.
“Rarity,” you call out, voice muffled from the sounds of her sewing machine. She spots your shadow walking up, momentarily stopping to listen.
“Do you want to go that city event tonight?”
“Oh darling I wish, but I am quite backed up. Perhaps we can reschedule?”
You highly doubt it. At this rate you don’t believe you’ll get a moment alone with her until she’s at a stable point in her career. If that even were ever happen.
She’s gone back to sewing, choosing another project to work on seeing as you’ve started to talk to her. Her glasses set on the tip of her nose, fingers working on weaving the needle through the cloth, fixing a hem that had fallen loose once fitted in the model.
“Rarity?”
“Yes?”
“What’s this supposed to do,” you emphasize your words by pointing at the tack around her thumb.
“Oh why it’s a thumb tack, helps me not to poke my finger when I’m doing smaller stitch work.”
The next two, three, six questions are running her patience thin. It’s like every minute you were dragging her attention here and there, anywhere but where she needs it to be. It snaps after the eight question, pushing her mind into an unhealthy state.
“What’s going on with you,” she starts, continuing to finish fixing the dress, “you’re usually not like this.”
You debate on telling her the truth, not sure if you could handle hearing her response to your apparent “issue.” She would laugh at you, find you ridiculous for thinking her work was taking her away from you.
“I’m just talking to you.”
“Well you did, and if you can’t tell I’m busy.”
“Of course you’re busy, that’s all you ever are,” you snap, hurt bleeding into your aggressive tone. “If you would take a step back you’d see that this has been taking all of your attention.”
“It’s a serious job, it’s going to take time to do.”
“And I’m not serious enough?“
“That’s not what I’m saying.”
“No,” you huff, “it’s what you’re showing. You’re acting like this isn’t a problem.”
“This wouldn’t be a problem, if you wouldn’t make one out of it. I think you’re being unreasonable, now please leave me be. That’s been quite enough.”
You wish it was a joke, or a nightmare, but her back facing towards you was reality. There was hope that she would turn around, apologize, say she’d love to meet later tonight. It hurts more when she moves to work back with the machine, the loud sound drowning out any other comments you may add.
With arms wrapped around you, you left. A choked sob escaping you once you’ve left her building. You’ve never experienced this side of her, one that’s aloof and removed. You avoided her house, walking straight back to your own to try and dry up the tears falling down your cheeks.
Rarity was unable to work. After working with a sewing machine for so long the sound has become like background noise to her, she’s used to it. So she heard your cry when you left, the sound new to her ears. She’s heard you cry before, but not because of her. Ego kept her from turning around and apologizing right then, and she regrets, guilt rising within her with every minute.
Maybe there’s a way to make it up to you. She’s rushing to check her clock, seeing that she still has two hours until the town’s event begins—she still had time. Your house was in the same neighborhood as her, a five minute walk either way. Upon approaching she notices the light on in your room. She feels worse when she sees your state. After opening the door, you’ve been looking anywhere but her, eyes puffy and red.
“I came to apologize,” she starts, wringing her hands together, “I was rude earlier, snapping at you like that. It was terrible of me. You didn’t deserve that.”
You nod along, eyes still sad and avoiding hers. She grows frustrated, movements less shy and inward.
“Oh I can’t take this. I miss you, and I’m so sorry. I’d leave this job in a second if it’d help remove this mopey feeling.”
“You don’t have to quit, I’m just selfish.”
“I do, it’s too much for me anyways—it doesn’t allow me to do what matters most.”
You’ve begun to cry again, teeth biting at your cheek to try and stop it.
“Are those sad or happy tears, darling. I quite hope they’re happy.”
“They’re happy,” you laugh, wiping at your face.
She smiles, pulling you into an embrace that would’ve had you blushing if she had done this after a week of dating. You grip her shirt, relaxing in her hold.
“You’re not a second choice to me.”

come morning light (Rated M) [Chronicles of Narnia - Susan/Caspian] 3/3 - @probably-voldemort
Seven years ago, Susan and her siblings were sent away from a war to the safety of the country side only to be thrust into another war. As the years wear on, their soldiers return from battle fewer and fewer in number, and the graves multiply overnight. Running out of options and manpower, their last chance is proposing an alliance with the King of Telmar, a kingdom seemly just barely allied with the Witch and itching to get out from under her power. Susan walks into the meeting with the King with Edmund at her side and little hope left in her heart, and leaves with an alliance that could turn the tide of the war - and a husband.
wishing on city lights (Not Rated) [Spider-Man - Michelle Jones/Peter Parker] 2/3 - @libraryidealist
Peter loves the city lights. Loves his work at the law firm, loves his best friend Ned, loves dancing. And he might love that girl with ink-stained fingertips and fire in her steps. Michelle loves dancing too, although she would never tell. She loves rainy days in her small apartment and hearing secrets in the halls of Brant Enterprises. She most certainly doesn't love the young lawyer with eyes like copper and honey. But life amid flapper girls and mafia bars isn't easy, and when your millionare best friends get engaged and the dance floor is small, a girl with fire in her heart and a boy with care in his hands might get along after all.
Waiting On The Winds Of Change To Blow (Rated T) [Emelan - Briar Moss & Sandrilene fa Toren] 2/3 - @loveislarryislove
Briar was taken in from the streets of Summersea by Duke Vedris and raised to hold a position in his household. He's been given many honours and opportunities, and now his match to a wealthy merchant's daughter will give him money and connections as well. He's grateful, really he is. But sometimes he wonders if it's really what he wants. “Is something the matter, Briar?” Sandry asked.Briar sighed. “No, it’s nothing, I just…” He trailed off, not sure how to explain it without sounding ungrateful.Sandry studied him for a moment. “Are you nervous?” she asked. “I wouldn’t have expected it of you; you’re always so confident – but this is a significant moment for you.”“I suppose I am,” Briar said slowly. Nervous wasn’t exactly how he’d describe it, but he could work with it. “I just… wasn’t expecting this. Marriage was never really something I considered for myself – given my upbringing, you know.”
Whatever Our Souls Are Made Of (Rated M) [The 100 - Raven/Roan] 3/3 - @northernxstories
A decade ago, Roan was exiled from the Kingdom of Azgeda when his brother, Rapier, ascended to the throne. Roan travelled to the other side of the ocean aboard his ship, the Exiled Prince, and took on a new life as the Captain of his own pirate vessel. For ten years, Roan was content. However when his beloved brother is lost, Roan is faced with unexpected choices, the weight of obligations and the presence of the woman who broke his heart as he returns to Azgeda and reclaims the throne.
With Your Name In My Throat (Rated M) [The 100 - Lexa/Clarke] 3/3 - @sailawaymayday
Lexa is content in her life just the way it is, until a so called "perfect match" on her friend's matchmaking service promises to help the people she cares most about in the world. The only catch is she has to marry a perfect stranger. But Lexa can do just about anything, if it helps her friends, and there's no way she will fall in love. Right?
Even Boulders (Rated T) [The 100 - Bellamy & Clarke (+ Surprising Pairing!)] 1/3 - @wwjacksparrowd
As queen of the island country Populise, Clarke always knew she would have to marry someday to continue the royal line. However, she had at least expected to be able to choose her own spouse. Instead, her royal advisors have chosen one for her. And somehow, that's the least complicated part of the situation.
Dragons and Alicorns and Political Weddings (Rated T) [My Little Pony - Princess Ember/Twilight Sparkle] 3/3 - @salamandergoo
In order to better relations with the Dragon Lands, Twilight has been arranged to marry the current dragon lord, Ember. With her friends by her side, she's excited for the big day, even if she's nervous at the prospect of not meeting her fiancee yet. When she finally does, things seem to go well, spurning on her excitement. At least, going well for now.
The Wedding Planet (Rated T) [The 100 - Octavia/Clarke] 3/3 - @kinetic-elaboration
Bounty hunter Octavia Blake has chased her latest prey, Josephine Lightbourne, all the way to the second moon of Arkadia--the last place she'd expect Josie it be, and the last place Octavia wants to visit--ARK-1002014: The Wedding Planet. There, Clarke Griffin arranges beautiful destination weddings for people from all over the galaxy, every detail provided for, right down to the spouse. Her AI-driven system has turned the ancient art of matchmaking into a commercialized, mechanized, streamlined, and extremely successful, enterprise. Octavia's already found and lost the great love of her life. She's not looking to love again. But an accident, a chance meeting, and a high-stakes bet change all of her plans. Now she'll either find her match, or spend years of her life providing fairy tales for others, while she proves that chemistry, passion, and spark can never be forced into being by a machine.

ALRIGHT I NEED HELP
So I've been very slowly planning a toh/mlp crossover and I'm really not sure what to do with the characters. Especially the two sisters.
Eda and Lilith will obviously be replaced by Celestia and Luna. However, I have no idea wich way. Luna's whole "turned evil bc jealousy" thing would fit Lilith cursing Eda, but also the banished to the moon for a thousand years would fit the wild witch theme. Also, Nightmare Moon could be used as the Owl beast.
Celestia obviously was the ruler of equestria for the thousand years Luna was gone, so that'd fit her being the Head Witch. Also, I imagine that Celestia is very big on the justice thing. But this creates the problem of Twi's mentoring. Id like her to still be the mc, in this case replacing Luz, so she'd be trained by Luna. I've also contemplated making Twi the Golden Guard and NOT the mc. That way she could still be Celestia's student, and I want to keep that if possible.

The Ponyville Weekly
Published on Jan 11th, 20XX
ELEMENT OF KINDNESS LENDS A HOOF TO RABID CRITTERS
Tumblr media
As the new year rolled along, several citizens of Ponyville voiced their worries for a wave of Everfree critters that had traded their life in the grand forest for a life of foraging in pony homes.
Numerous reports of aggressive behavior from these animals did not fail to reach the ears of Fluttershy- the Element of Kindness. On January 8th, Fluttershy ventured to the locations where the rabid critters were reportedly spotted. To her luck, a group of them were located straight away- ransacking the garage dump of a residence. With her signature gentle demeanor and soothing voice, Fluttershy was able to lure the Everfree animals to her cottage- where she states that she is in the process of healing them.
“ They seemed to have inhaled some pollen that caused an inflammatory allergic reaction,” Fluttershy tells Ponyville Weekly from the safety of her window, “ The pain of it is likely the reason for their feral actions… Please do not blame the poor critters, they’ve been suffering this entire time.” The kind soul then lifts up a solemn squirrel, who is said to have been one of the rabid creatures. “ This one has been so well mannered since then! Giving them a nice warm bath should put them right back on track.” Fluttershy informs, and this advice goes out to any who happen to catch any more of these runaways.
No more waves of animals has been spotted since then, and if you happen to see any, make sure to report to us and Fluttershy for more information. Stay safe Ponyville, and don’t let the bad critters bite! Until next Wednesday, this was The Ponyville Weekly.

After the Blitzball game
My own epilogue to the book Rainbow Dash brings the blitz
Rainbow Dash and her teammates, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Applejack had just changed back into their regular clothes and put their Blitzball uniforms into their duffle bags. Walking out of the girls locker room and toward the main entrance of Canterlot High they met up with Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy and Sunset Shimmer.
 "Howdy Slammers." Applejack greeted her friends by their team name.
 "Hey Zips." Sunset Shimmer greeted back, using Rainbow Dash's team name on them. "That was a great first coed Blitzball game." 
"Yeah, it was so fun!" Pinkie Pie agreed excitedly. 
"Congratulations on the win." Twilight Sparkle said. 
"That was an amazing final shot you and Forest Thunder did in the end" Fluttershy added softly. 
Rainbow Dash smirked. "Yeah, we were pretty awesome," Rainbow Dash said proudly.
 "You and Forest Thunder make a great team." Sunset Shimmer said.
 Rarity walked up closer to Rainbow Dash. "Yes you two are quite the couple" Rarity said to Rainbow Dash. 
Rainbow Dash looked at Rarity, surprised by her comment. Rarity giggled and patted Rainbow Dash on the shoulder. 
"Sorry darling, I was just teasing." The rest of the girls giggled as well. 
Rainbow Dash smiled and said "Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen." 
As they turned the corner out of the hallway and into the front office of the building Rainbow Dash and her friends heard somebody from behind them call "Hey, Rainbow Dash."
 The girls all turned around to see Forest Thunder walking up to them quickly, like he was afraid he'd miss her before they walked out of the school. Forest Thunder was also out of his Blitzball uniform and back in his usual clothes, black shoes, dark green pants and a bright green hoodie with a picture of a dark green pine tree behind a yellow thunderbolt on the front. His neon green hair was still damp from the boys locker room showers. 
 Forest Thunder stopped in front of Rainbow Dash.
"I didn't think you or your friends would still be here, the game ended over an hour ago." Forest Thunder said to Rainbow Dash.
 Rainbow Dash looked at the clock on the wall next to the front desk. It was past ten p.m. "Wow, it is really late. How come you're still here?" She asked. 
Forest Thunder gave Rainbow Dash an awkward smile "Ivory was going to drive me home but by the time I got my turn in the shower he had to leave early, I only just got out." He told her.
"How you gettin' home then?" Applejack piped up. 
Forest Thunder's smile disappeared and he sighed "I guess I'm walking." he shrugged.
 "Yeah, I'm walking home too," Rainbow Dash told him.
 Forest Thunder's face brightened a bit. "Really, how about we go together, I'd like to have someone to talk about the game with me."
 Rainbow Dash's eyes widened, uncertain, she scratched the back of her head and thought for a moment then said to Forest Thunder.
"Sure, I wouldn't mind talking about the game some more." She said.
Forest Thunder's smile reappeared. "Great." he replied and opened the front door so they could exit the high school. Rainbow Dash took a step and then hesitated. Rainbow Dash turned to her friends, who all looked surprised by what just happened. Rainbow Dash gave them a shrug and waved goodbye before walking out the door with Forest Thunder. 
The pale moonlit night sky greeted Rainbow Dash and Forest Thunder as they walked down the steps of the school, not saying anything until they passed by the wondercolt statue. Forest Thunder was the first to speak.
"So, what street is your house on?" He asked Rainbow Dash. 
My house is on Whitetail." Rainbow Dash told Forest Thunder.
 "That's fine, it's only about five minutes away, and that street is on the way to my house." he said. 
They stepped out onto the sidewalk and started walking their way to Rainbow Dash's house. 
Rainbow Dash decided to bring up their Blitzball game.
"So, awesome game tonight, huh?" Rainbow Dash said, starting up the conversation. 
"Yeah, it was pretty exciting, I had a great time, and it was amazing how many people came to watch us play it." Forest Thunder said back.
 "Our story in the Canterlot Gazette's newspaper did give us a lot of supporters, and they all were pretty excited to see us play tonight" Rainbow Dash reminded him. 
"True." Forest Thunder agreed. "But who would've thought that even Comet Chaser would be there watching our game?"
 Rainbow Dash nodded and said "Tell me about it, after quitting the Canterlot High Blitzball team, I never would've imagined he'd show up at our school's first coed game, let alone change his mind on making Blitzball a coed sport." Rainbow Dash and Forest Thunder had reached the end of the street they were on and turned left onto Whitetail where Rainbow Dash's house was.
 "Word's been spreading out about Comet's apology to you,how he admitted that he was wrong and that he's starting that Blitzball training league for girls at Canterlot High that you were talking about." Forest Thunder told Rainbow Dash.
 "What can I say, I'm awesome like that." Rainbow Dash said proudly, as they reached her house. 
"Yeah, I always thought you were awesome," Forest Thunder admitted. "And I knew that if there was only one person in the world who could get Comet Chaser to see how fierce girl Blitzball players could be it would be you, as strong, determined, inspiring and smart as you are. You're a very special person Rainbow Dash." Forest Thunder finished, looking into Rainbow Dash's eyes. 
Surprised by the genuine sincerity of Forest Thunder's compliment, Rainbow Dash couldn't help but blush a bit. "Wow…thanks" Rainbow Dash said to Forest Thunder.
 They looked at each other for a moment then Forest Thunder broke the silence. 
"I gotta get home, I'm way past my curfew, thanks for talking with me, Rainbow Dash, see you at school on monday'' he smiled at Rainbow Dash, waved and walked away.
Rainbow Dash stood there watching Forest Thunder until he was out of sight then went into her house.
Rainbow Dash quietly closed the front door behind her and crept up the stairs so she wouldn't wake up her parents. She entered her room, kicked off her shoes and changed into her pajamas. 
After she was dressed she sat down on her bed and thought about what Forest Thunder had said to her before he left. He complimented her about being awesome, which is a compliment she's used to hearing from everybody, but after that he also called her strong, determined, inspiring and smart all at once, and he said that she was special too. Nobody at Canterlot High but her friends had ever given her a compliment as sincere and heartwarming as that. 
During the Blitzball situation for the past few weeks Rainbow Dash's friends had been pointing out signs that Forest Thunder liked her. Rainbow Dash didn't think too much of it then, but now that Forest Thunder had spoken those words to her tonight, there was no more doubt.
"He really does like me." Rainbow Dash realized to herself. 
She got into bed and pulled the covers up to her waist but she didn't lay down. Rainbow Dash thought more about the past few weeks with Forest Thunder, how they talked about Blitzball in class, how he stood up for her multiple times in front of Comet Chaser, their practices together and how they used their teamwork to win tonight's game. Rainbow Dash rested her head on her pillows and smiled,
 "I kinda like him too" she thought to herself as she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.
