- Driving Rain - 300-word Challenge, 5/12/11
- Nopony could remember a time when it had rained so hard.
- It was strange warm fog, then a drizzle, and quickly a storm. The patched windows of the library barely held back the winds. Not weather for another sleepover ...
- Rarity managed by thinking of Saigon during monsoon season, drinking tea, listening to rainfall.
- “S’like Celestia’s just pissin’ away on a flat rock out there,” came a drawl to her side.
- The dressmaker cringed. She could - manage. The storm would pass again, just as the first had. Twilight would make it back after the rain. Things would be balanced on a fulcrum, Separated at opposite ends.
- “I suppose.” Rarity smoothed a little icily. She sipped at tea she’d found in a cupboard.
- Silence fell like the rain - close, drowning.
- “So, I figure now’s good for napping,” opined Applejack.
- “Mmm.”
- “You coming?”
- Rarity furrowed her brow and sipped …
- “Not coming, then.”
- Silence.
- “So we aren’t gonna talk about it,” harumphed Applejack.
- Rarity’s cheeks burned.
- “You said it was just wakin’ up, but when you went an’ kissed me full on the mouth-“
- “I was having a dream, Applejack,” Rarity spat.
- Applejack’s eyes narrowed, “Did I just dream you mumbled ‘Oh Applejack’ ‘fore you did it?”
- Silence, hot and embarrassed.
- “Thought so. I need sleep,” Applejack muttered darkly, stomping for the guest room, “not this.”
- Rarity chewed her lip. The opportunity was nearly over. Time to swallow some pride--
- “Wait.”
- Pregnant silence.
- “We - have the place to ourselves to … talk.”
- Applejack snorted, “AH’M plum exhausted, Rarity.”
- “Then let’s rest,” pausing, “... ‘nap.’”
- Applejack’s orange ears perked.
- “Together,” dangled Rarity coyly.
- “Together?”
- “Together.”
- Fumbling happily, hooves found proper places, nestling between sheets, warm and jumbled.
- They dozed to gentle drumming on the windowpane.
- Together.
