>Rainbow Dash’s POV
>You wake up feeling more alive than you had ever done before. Last night was amazing in every sense of the word. For so long you had buried your feelings, accepting the situation of just being friends with Anon… and then, out of the blue, he tells you that he loves you. You had never thought he would reciprocate your feelings, especially not so soon after Applejack abandoned him.
>But last night, when he looked into your eyes and told you that he loved you, you knew he was telling the truth. When he made love to you under the moonlight night sky, you knew he was telling the truth. When he cuddled you, and kissed you goodbye before you flew back to your home, you knew he was telling the truth.
>It was like a dream come true. You felt giddy just thinking about it.
>You also remembered his words. “I need somebody to love…” You could understand that. When Anonymous first came to Equestria, Applejack was the one who helped him through his grief. And now?
>You were going to help him get over Applejack’s betrayal. You would be there for him, and never let him down. But you were never going to break his heart. You knew he had suffered enough already. He deserved to be happy.
>You climb out of bed, and fly down to P0nyville. You arrive outside the bar, and knock loudly on the door. You are greeted by a rather dishevelled looking Larry, who jerks a hoof at the stairs before returning to… whatever it Larry does at this time of the morning.
>You bound up the stairs and enter Anon’s cramped quarters, waking him up in the process.
>”Hey, wh… oh, morning Dashie.
“Sorry Anon, I didn’t realise you were still asleep.”
>”Doesn’t matter, at least I woke up to a beautiful sight.”
>You blush and he brings you in for a nuzzle, his fingers gently stroking your mane.
>”So, why’d you come and see me so early?”
“I was wondering if you wanted to head over to Sugarcube Corer with me, to grab some breakfast.”
>”I would like nothing better, Dashie.”
”Thanks Anon.” You give him a quick kiss on the lips. “I’m going to head over there now, while you get ready.”
>”Sure thing, try not to miss me.”
“Ha, sure. See ya Anon.”
>”See you shortly.” He hoists himself out of bed, enters the bathroom and shuts the door, signalling your departure.
>You head back downstairs, noticing the strange look Larry gives.
“Hey dude, is there something wrong?”
>He shakes his head. “Nah, I’m just wondering how Anon does it.”
“Does what?”
>”Constantly get all the good looking mares. He isn’t even a p0ny, the bastard must a silver tongue and a 10 foot di-“
“Dude, don’t talk about those things! Sure, Anon isn’t a p0ny, but he makes me happy like no-one else can!”
>”Calm down Dash, I was just kidding. It’s great that you’re not letting Anon fall into a pit of despair and hopelessness, no matter how good that would be for business.”
“Oh, right.” You feel your cheeks begin to redden. “Do you really think I’m pretty?”
>”Dash, you don’t need me to tell you that if Anon fell for ya. Have a good day.”
“Thanks Larry, you’re such a bro.”
>”I know. Catchya later.”
>You exit the bar and begin the walk to Sugarcube corner. You decide to cut directly through the town square, keeping an eye out for Applejack. You sure as hay didn’t want to talk to her, not after she’s treated Anon…
>”There ya are, ya homewreckin’ hussy!”
>Dammit.
>You and turn face Applejack, who is glaring at you with hatred.
“What Applejack? What do you want?”
>”I want t’know why in the hay you’re rutting my stallion!”
“What are you talking about, Applejack?”
>”Ah saw what ya’ll did in the park last night! And want ya to keep your hooves off my special somep0ny!”
“You spied on us! How dare you!”
>”How dare y’steal my stallion!”
“I didn’t steal him! He said he loved me! And I don’t think you two are special somep0nies anymore, seeing as you cheated on him!”
>Nearby p0nies look on in shock as you two argue, none willing to intervene.
>”Ah wouldn’t have cheated on him if it wasn’t for ya seducin’ him!”
“I didn’t seduce him Applejack! He loves me from his own heart, probably because he knows I actually care about him!”
>”Ah care about him too!”
“Then why did you break his heart!”
>”He put me in that situation! Ah wasn’t in control of myself.”
“That’s a pathetic excuse Applejack! If you hadn’t been so suspicious of him and treated him like shit, he wouldn’t have got angry at you!”
>”Well, it looks like ma suspicions were right, ya slut!”
“I’m not slut, you damn hypocrite! I love Anon!”
>”AH LOVE HIM TOO, DAMMIT!”
>”ENOUGH!” commands a voice. You turn and see Anon approaching, furious.
>Applejack looks relieved. “Anon, I need to talk to ya-“
>”Shut your damn mouth.”
>His bluntness obviously shocks Applejack, as she flounders for words. “Anon, ah… I still…”
>”Don’t you dare say you still love me Applejack. You treated me with hostility and never trusted me, even when I loved you. You slept with Lucky while I was worried sick about you, and don’t you dare claim drunkenness as an excuse. You broke my fucking heart. And now, you harass my special somep0ny in public and try to embarrass her. So don’t you fucking DARE say you still love me, because you don’t. If you do, then stay the fuck away from me and Rainbow Dash, and never, EVER, do this again.” He speaks thunderously, more angry than you had ever seen him before.
>By now, Applejack is crying. “Please Anon, ah’m sorry… it’s not too late…”
>”Yes it is. It’s far too late for us as a couple. It was too late when you decided that I meant nothing to you. It’s not too late to be friends, though. I still care about you, Applejack. But first, you’ve got to change. You need to learn not to use someone as an object. You need to learn how to trust someone. You need to not act like such a fucking hypocrite!”
>He runs a hand through his hair before continuing. “And I want you to remember. Our parting came down to your suspicions about me and Rainbow Dash. And because of you, Rainbow Dash and I are now together. It’s your fault, and I want you to remember that. Now, be gone. You’ve caused enough trouble as it as.”
>Applejack stares in horror at him, before fleeing from the town square. Everyp0ny watches her flee, before returning their gazes to you and Anon.
>”Hey, are you ok?”
“Yeah, I’m fine…”
>”I know I was harsh with Applejack. But I need her to understand. She’ll never be happy until she acknowledges what she did wrong.”
>He kisses you on the lips, before lifting you up into a hug. You nuzzle your head into his shoulder, crying softly.
>”Forget about what she said, Dashie. She blames you because she can’t blame herself. You’ve done nothing wrong.”
“But… p0nies will say things… they’ll spread rumours…”
>”I didn’t listen when I was with Applejack, and I won’t listen to them now! The only words I care about are the ones coming out of your mouth!” He shouts loud enough for the onlookers to hear, and you know he’s serious.
>He wipes away the tears and brings you into a kiss, causing a wave of whispering and muttering amongst the crowd.
>”Now, I believe we were headed to Sugarcube corner, yes?”
“Yeah.”
>He hoists you up and you hang from his shoulder, your head rested on top of his. Maybe Applejack would come to her senses. Anon said he was still willing to be her friend. You didn’t know how he could offer that after all she put him through, but that’s one of the reasons you love him so much. He’s willing to forgive, no matter what, and maybe Applejack would accept that…
>Applejack’s POV
>You cry softly into the hay.
>Anon was right. You had treated him terribly, thrown away his love in a moment of weakness and refused to accept the truth. He said he was stilling willing to be friends… but you knew you couldn’t stay here. You’d never be able to look him or Rainbow Dash in the eye again, and you’d been disgraced in front of the town.
>But where would you go?
>You didn’t know. You’d travelled around Equestria, but only had friends and family in P0nyville and Appleloosa… and you knew you’d be ousted from the latter once word spread around. Your family didn’t approve of your relationship with Anon, but they would be up in arms if they found out how you treated him.
>You couldn’t tell Applebloom, Granny Smith and Big Macintosh. They’d never let you leave here. As much as it pained you, you’d have to leave without saying goodbye.
>You sniffle, and climb out of the hay pile into which you’d been crying for hours. You make your way to the house and pack some supplies into a bag which you tie onto your back. It had some clothes, some bits, a few personal belongings…
>You needed one more thing though. You made your way to the guest room where you used to lie with Anon, but had not entered since the break-up. You wanted one memento, a reminder of happier times.
>You walk over to the bedside table, and that’s when you notice it. The photograph… it was torn in half. Whatever deep, underlying hope of you and Anon re-uniting dies there. The photograph seals your departure.
>Before leaving, you decide to leave one note. You simply write, “I’m sorry” on a sheet of tear soaked paper, and leave it on the kitchen table. The others would find it later, when they returned home from selling the latest batch of apples. You hoped they would find someone to help tend to the trees…
>You exit the house, and with a sob, you begin walking towards your new life.
>Rainbow Dash’s POV
>You snuggled down underneath your favourite tree with Anon, curling up in his lap. Anon couldn’t go back to your house, for obvious reasons, so you both came here. It had been hours since your confrontation with Applejack, and Anon had cheered you up since then.
>”So, Dashie. What do you want to do now?”
>You grind against him slightly and stare at him with half lidded eyes. “I can think of something.”
>”Not here, Dashie.” he says, a hand involuntarily moving to your flank.
“I’m sure we can find somewhere private though…”
>You kiss him on the lips. Looks like this evening was going to be fun…
>”Anon! Rainbow Dash!”
>You jump off Anon’s lap and turn to face Applebloom who was running at you, tears streaming down her face.
“Applebloom? What’s wro… oh Celestia, has Applejack done something?”
>She starts bawling. “Applejack ran away!”
>”What!”
>”She… she left a n-note on the table and w-we can’t find her anywhere and ah’m r-really scared and…”
>”Shh, it’s ok Applebloom. Applejack will come back…” Anon pulls Applebloom into a hug and she continues crying into his sides.
“C’mon Anon, let’s get to Sweet Apple Acres!”
>You and Anon, with Applebloom in tow, start running for the orchard. Applejack wouldn’t just leave like, would she?
>As you shortly found out, she would.
