" The outlived " | An Appledash Fanfiction | Book 1

{{Chapter 17}}

After the 3 teens managed to make their way to the next route exit through the tunnel, Applejack took the lead as she pushed another hidden passage in the walls.

She ducked down and peeked outside, still signaling Rainbow Dash and her girlfriend to stay put while she scans the area.

heavy footsteps were being heard outside the hidden tunnel, most of them scattered near the hole where Applejack and her team were hidden.

There she saw dozens of the Canterlot soldiers were scouting around the area, holding their assault rifles close to them.

"Hold on." Applejack commanded before Rainbow Dash could peek through the hole. "Patrol's scoutin' the place, we need to wait."

Rarity stepped up, moving closer to her girlfriend. "How many? We can take them done if we are cautious, darling."

"No, Rares. There's too many of them! It's best if we just stay put till they leave."

"Screw them, we can outrun it!" Rainbow Dash crossed her arms, giving Applejack a serious look.

The cowgirl laughed sarcastically. "Sure, if you want to be shredded by hundreds of high-velocity bullets, be my guess and step right ahead."

"Geez, no need to be a jerk, you jerk."

Rarity rolled her eyes before taking out a compass in her pocket. "Look, if we continue going straight, this can lead us to the second route."

Her lover moved a bit closer to the fashionista, gently grabbing her hand to make her move the compas closer in her sight.

"You're right," Aj replied while following the direction of its arrow. "We can go straight ahead after the scouts leave. But we have to be quick about it."

Rainbow Dash butted in. "Pf, relax Apples. Fast is my middle name. It's best If I take the lead for this one."

"I thought 'Being a complete skittle-haired asshole' was your middle name?" The blonde teen answered while arching an eyebrow at Rainbow Dash.

The teen scoffed and looked away from Applejack's eyes. "W-whatever, what's yours anyway? Is 'Being stuck with a slutty as girlfriend in this pandemic' your middle name?"

With that being said, Applejack's eyes quickly went wide at Rainbow's harmless insult. She then held the cover with one hand as her other one grabbed Rainbow Dash's shirt.

The poor multi-colored haired teen gasped at the touch before the cowgirl could even pull her closer to her.

"Say somethin' about my girl again. Come on, I dare you." Applejack laughed with a sinister voice.

Rainbow gritted her teeth and held Applejack's hand to make it loosen its grip. But after a few tries of pushing her away, she sadly failed on her every attempt.

"D-dude it was a joke, come on!" She tried to explain, voice filled with slight fear towards Applejack.

Rarity, on the other hand, ignored Rainbow Dash's insult. Instead, she only walked away and grabbed one part of the cover to maintain its opening.

It seems like she didn't care about the two fighting. She didn't stop nor interfere with the two. And this made Rainbow cautious of her.

Moments later, the angered teen finally loosened her grip on their cargo's shirt, allowing Rainbow Dash to slap her hand and back away.

Applejack let out a sigh, turning her attention back to Rarity. "R-Rarity, you okay?"

Her lover tilted her head, showing slight confusion. "Huh? Yes darling, why wouldn't I be okay?"
