Rainbow Dash lives an exciting life and is swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria. She would gladly give it all up, though, just to confess her love to Applejack.
"And that's when—out of nowhere—fwoooosh! The tornado just disappeared on its own!" Thunderlane exclaimed. He looked at the other ponies gathered before Sugarcube Corner. "At first, we thought that Rainbow Dash had done it. Cuz... y'know. But then, once we caught up to the swath of debris, we found that it was this dude right here who'd done it!" He reached over and patted Stu's shoulder.
Stu chuckled, brushing his forelimb away. "Really... I was just lucky that it worked out the way it did." He heard a voice clearing to his side. He looked over.
Applejack leaned against the front of Sugarcube Corner. She chewed on a haystalk while smirking at the stallion.
"Okay... okay..." Stu exhaled. "So... yeah, it was tough, but I did it. I threw in all my wing muscle too. Like... you should have heard me screaming as I pulled the winds back with just my feathers alone. It's like in all of those crazy action comics with big beefy superheroes having a super awesome moment. Almost wish I had a microphone on me."
"Think you can reenact the shout now?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Er... n-no... eheh..." Stu brushed one hoof with another. "Not really."
"Come onnnn!" Candy Mane insisted, smiling from where she stood next to Thunderlane. "Try it!"
"Surely you remember, dude," Sharp Quill said.
"Heheh... what's it matter? Look, it's not the flare of taking down a tornado that counts! It's the method! Just as Rainbow Dash taught me." Stu gulped. "Though... uh... I'm a bit surprised nopony heard me screaming. I about broke my lungs with all that strain."
"Heheheh..." Applejack leaned in, nuzzling him as she winked at the others. "Reckon I can imagine it."
"There ya go!" Stu pointed. "Good enough!"
"Bet it sounded like how badly he was wailin' that one time a bucket full of corn fell on his tail."
"Snkkkt!" Stu winced at her. "Applejack! I didn't wail!"
"You sure did!" Applejack chuckled. "Like a big ol' baby!"
"I may have yelped or grunted, but I didn't wail!"
"You sayin' I'm makin' a fib?" Applejack squinted.
Stu winced, his ears folding. "No, ma'am."
Pinkie Pie and Sharp Quill laughed.
Candy Mane squinted. "A bucket of corn?"
"Look... it was very... very HEAVY corn, alright?" Stu said, making everyone laugh again.
"Hahahah!" Applejack guffawed, then hugged him from the side. "It sure was! I was there!" She smiled. "Best ears we have to pluck at Sweet Apple Acres! Couldn't have had a better bounty fall on his poor behind!"
"Guess that's one way to make your coltfriend pass the test!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Yeah, well..." Applejack smiled at him. "Every now and then, there's room for a do-over."
He smiled back at her.
"So... the Mayor's getting you a medal, right?" Thunderlane said. "She'd better."
"Only if she gives it to the rest of the weather team as well," Stu said. "After all, if it wasn't for them..."
As the conversation continued...
...a blue set of ears twitched.
Rainbow Dash watched from a cloud high above Sugarcube Corner. Her ruby eyes rested on Applejack... on her happy smile... on the freckles that glistened in the sunlight every time she laughed.
With a calm breath, the mare pivoted from the conversation, tore the scene from her sight, and flew off in a steady glide.

So Dash... what's going on inside that fuzzy blue head of yours?
....we now return you to your regular daily update schedule...we hope.
6951709
Who knows?
I've given up trying to figure the girl out.
What will happen, will happen, I guess.
And I hope so, too.
Does anyone smell... an adventure arc on the horizon? It seems like the time is ripe...
6951825 I smell Dash packing up and moving somewhere, that'd make an interesting arc, Dash trying to find a new home, leaving letters in the others mailboxes, maybe a copy of the confession letter she wrote to AJ in hers.
6951825 Yeah we're due for one eh?
Dash owes Gilda a visit too, let's not forget.
Okay, this is getting a little crazy.
No one, I repeat, no one is at the brink of extinction.
It's too calm and pretty'cept for Stuand it's unnerving.
Where's the death and the pain and the betrayal and the se-I mean villainy?
Soooooo.....is this the end? And exactly how many chapters was this whole story? Someone please let me know. I lost count
6951909 Oh it's far from the end. You've just caught up. Welcome to the struggle
6951838 That'd be heavy. "Hey AJ, I've been selflessly going on suicide missions cuz I love you so much but didn't have the guts to tell you. Enjoy the rest of your life with your mediocre nice-guy Stallion. Bye
Something's definitely gonna happen. Maybe that vacation? I mean, there's only so many ways that Rainbow can react to AppleStu with bittersweet acceptance from a distance.
6951915 oh joy....and it only took me two and a half weeks to get to this spot. But I ain't complaining....very awesome story
After a brief scare, it looks like things are finally working out for Stu and Applejack. It's been a bumpy ride, but it looks like Stu finally has his mare and Applejack has her stallion.
I'm sure it's not over quite yet, but I'm looking forward to Stu Leaves and Applejack getting married, settling down happily and raising some foals together!
I would have to say my favourite story on the site is Applestuery!
6951915 Heavy but.. if Dash's past is any indication, it's how she copes.
By uprooting and moving on.
She ditched Shy when she broke her heart when they were fillies, and she left Gilda behind too when she dropped out of flight school.
Who's to say she won't do it again.
6951838 I doubt she'll ever confess since Aj's happy with Stu, but yeah i can see the next adventure arc her just stocking up on a massive amount of Zecora's elixir and setting out to find a new home
6951909 currently we are on chapter 844 of a hinted 1200-2000
Musn't, feel happy for Stu...
Must...root for Rainbowdash.....nnnngggghhh
What the absolute crap is happening here?!?
~ADG
I vote for Lancie to come back!
I've also been wondering if Skirts is planning on incorporating any more major events from the show in the story. Obviously the whole Discord thing is gonna go down differently what with Rainbow and Lancie's relationship. But what about A Canterlot wedding? Sombra and the crystal empire? I'm excited about how things would go down in this AU.
Let your ego grow, Stu. I'm sure Applejack would like you if you become a braggart.
Arc done, day saved, everyone's happy...
Now we just wait for shit to hit the fan again.
Back where you began, Dashie. Alone.
But, hey, at least Applejack's happy. Right?
6952414 Hey... Yeah! What if Stu slowly becomes a sort of rip-off of Rainbow and AJ likes him more that way(ish)?
6951993 2000? I thought it was 1300.
6951993 DAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!
6952997 Last I heard Recent estimates are saying theres a small chance it may run into a book 3.
I'm now reading this just to finish it. I want Stu dead
and wondering how in the depths of Tartarus this can be called Appledashery without appledash
