It's not unusual for Rainbow Dash to have to protect her owner, the farm mare Applejack, even at the cost of wounds and fear. The Pegasus owes the orange pony her life, but the latter has never been too fond of her company. After being rescued by Rainbow during a fierce attack, though, Applejack is forced to get to grips with her hidden feelings towards the rainbow-maned soldier...

A one-shot dedicated (once again) to my all-time OTP, this time set in an apocalyptic Alternate Universe which I may or may not expand, depending on my inspiration and time to write.
This one-shot was proofread by the amazing Nugget, who helped me greatly in the revision of this old story

After an expedition into the Everfree Forest ends in disaster, Applejack and Rainbow Dash take refuge in an abandoned cabin until morning.

This is probably a poor decision, but it's only one night, after all. How bad could it be?
