Applejack hummed quietly. She ran her fingers through Rainbow's hair softly. Rainbow smiled at the feeling. The two were on the couch. Rainbow had her head on Applejack's lap. The two were enjoying the quiet day.
"Hey babe??", Applejack spoke up.
Rainbow looked at her. "Yeah??".
"Ah just realized that ya don't sing in front of me".
Rainbow shrugged, looking awag. "I-I don't sing. Well in front of people I don't".
Applejack smiled. "You've gotta sing fir me. Please??".
Rainbow shook her head, grinning. "Nope".
Applejack pouted. "Please??".
Rainbow shook her head again. Applejack flicked her forehead.
"Hey!!".
Rainbow sat up. She looked at Applejack.
"Don't be a pouty face", Rainbow giggled. She got up. Applejack followed her into the kitchen.
Rainbow walked over to the snack cabinet and opened it. She looked around. Suddenly she felt arms around her waist. Applejack rested her chin on her shoulder. Rainbow giggled. She touched Applejack's arms.
"You're my huggy wuggy bear", Rainbow said in a baby voice.
Applejack snickered. "Oh really??", she said.
Applejack poked her side. "Yir mah baby bird".
Rainbow raised an eyebrow. "Why a bird??", she asked.
"Because", Applejack said. "You run so fast yir feet as well be off the ground".
Applejack's grip tightened. She lifted Rainbow off her feet. Rainbow gasped in surprise. That was not expected. Applejack spun around in circles.
Rainbow screamed giggling.
"Put me down!!".
Applejack stopped spinning and bent her over, holding the younger girl upside down. Rainbow's head nearly touched the ground. Rainbow held on to her for dear life. Applejack laughed at her face.
Rainbow looked terrified. The blonde stood up straight and put the girl down. Rainbow hit her arm lightly.
"That's not funny. No!!".
Rainbow poked Applejack's arm, scolding her and then crossed her arms.
"I'm still not singing", she said. "One day. But not today".
"Damn it", Applejack said.
Rainbow smirked.
-----------------------------------
Rainbow hummed as she mixed the cookie batter. Chocolate chip. Her favorite. Rainbow looked like she had wrestled with the cookie batter and lost. She had cookie dough in her hair and face and all over her hands and nails.
Heck, she smelled like chocolate chip cookie dough. But she was happy with that. Rainbow sighed, stopping her stirring.
"This is boring", she said.
Then she had an idea. She was sure Applejack wasn't home. The teen took out her phone and put on a song. Her song came on.
Like, literally. A song that was sung by her was on. You see...... Rainbow was a recording artist. But she didn't tell anyone. Noone knew who she was.
She went by the name Cloud. That was her stage name. Of coarse she did live performances for crowds of thousands of fans but she always wore some kind of cover for her face. Rainbow also had a hood to cover her hair. She was a mystery celebrity.
Only her parents knew..... before they had died. They had been in charge of Rainboom industries. A large recording company.
Somehow, Applejack was not able to find out. Though she was a fan of Cloud, she had never seen her face. Good. Rainbow didn't want her to get involved of the chaos of being famous. So Applejack didn't know and most likely, never will.
Rainbow nodded her head as the song started, tapping her foot. Rainbow danced around as she sang the words.
The dough was on the cookie sheet. Rainbow finished the song and smiled.
"Ah didn't know you listen ta Cloud".
Rainbow nearly dropped the tray. She spun around. Applejack stood in the doorway smiling. Rainbow laughed nervously.
"Yeah. I listen to Cloud every now and then. I don't think she's that great".
Applejack's mouth fell open in shock.
"Not that great?. She's amazing. The best singer in Equestria".
Rainbow felt her face heat up. She turned back around, hoping Applejack didn't notice. She knelt down and put the tray into the oven. Rainbow shut the door and stood up. She turned around smiling.
"Well. In that case. Don't you have a friend that likes Cloud too??", she asked.
Applejack nodded. "Why??".
Rainbow smirked. She reached into her back pocket and pulled out two tickets. Applejack gasped. Taking them, she looked at them. They were concert tickets. Front row!!. She smiled and hugged Rainbow Dash excitedly.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much!!. You're the best baby".
Rainbow smiled. She looked up at Applejack. "No problem".
"How did you get these??", Applejack asked.
Rainbow giggled. "Let's just say I know people".
Applejack smiled and kissed her on the lips.
"You're the best. You really are".
Applejack backed away. "Ah'm gunna tell Sunset. Love you".
Applejack walked out of the room. Rainbow smiled.
"Love you too".
-------------------------------
The arena was full, everything ready. Rainbow was jittery with nerves. She felt the adrenaline coasting through her body. She jogged in place.
The teen looked at herself in the mirror. She did singing exercises and relaxing exercises. She was super, just like before any performance.
The door to her dressing room opened. Her manager poked his head in.
"Come on", he said smiling. "It's time".
Rainbow grabbed her mask off her dresser. She turned and walked out. The two walked through the studio. Rainbow had hair stylists fixing up her hair. Wardrobe people adjusting her clothes and putting last minute accessories like a bracelet or taking her earrings off.
She had makeup. They all knew her plan tonight and they wanted her to look her best.
Her mask was put on and tied. Rainbow blinked a few times. She could see everything around her clearly. She was handed a microphone.
Rainbow walked over to a platform. Her stylists made some last arrangements on her outfit and took a look at her. Th eery smiled. Rainbow liked her outfir. A dark blue and magenta colored shirt. With light blue pants and blue flats. She had on a diamond bracelet. For this performance she had on a dark blue and silver mask and hid the upper part of her face. She also had a dark blue hood that hid her rainbow locks.
She smiled as the platform was risen. She heard the crowd go wild when she came into view. Rainbow beamed. She jogged out onto stage, waving joyfully.
"Hey everybody!!".
-----------------------------------
Applejack and Sunset were having a blast. The two met other girls and gys that were at the concert that night as well. They jumped around and sang along. For almost four hours they laughed and joked around and sang and took pictures.
What a blast.
Cloud laughed into the microphone.
"Okay everybody. Settle down you guys. I have something to say".
The crowd quieted down a bit. Cloud looked around.
"Now. For the past two years you guys have been the most awesome fans anyone could have and I mean that. You guys stuck with me all this time. When I came out to you guys. When I told you I started dated my girlfriend. Thank you".
Of coarse Applejack had no problem with her sexual orientation. She was bi. So was Applejack and Rainbow. Applejack was actually happy Cloud was bi. If Applejack was honest, she would say that she had a celebrity crush on her.
She couldn't help it. Even Rainbow Dash knew and she was fine with it. Applejack loved Rainbow more than anyone so don't go thinking she loved cloud more. No way.
It was just something about her that reminded Applejack of Rainbow Dash. It was either the way she was so happy all the time or how she laughed. She couldn't put her finger on it.
Cloud looked around smiling.
"Now. If you haven't already seen, I posted on Twitter that at this very special performance...... I'm gunna reveal who I am".
The crowd went crazy. Applejack and Sunset looked at eachother in shock. They couldn't believe.
"Oh my gosh!!".
Applejack squealed with excitement. She couldn't believe this was happening. She looked up at the stage. Cloud was standing right there. Applejack was calm on the outside but was freaking out on the inside.
She had to remind herself that she was in love with Rainbow Dash. Only Rainbow Dash.
Cloud brought the microphone to her mouth.
"Yeah. I thought that it was finally time that you as the fans finally knew what I look like".
The screen monitors from above went in closer. They had Cloud spot on in camera. They wanted to get the perfect shot of her.
Applejack could see Cloud fidgeting. She looked nervous. Suddenly Cloud turned and looked....... at her.
Applejack felt her heart race as Cloud smiled at her and waved. Applejack waved back, her hand shaking. Wow. Cloud waved at her. What a night. If only Rainbow was here with her.
"Okay guys", Cloud said. "You guys ready??. Cause I don't think I can do this".
Cloud bit her lip. The crowd cheered. Applejack and Sunset looked at eachother.
"Okay. How about this", Cloud spoke intl the microphone. "I'm gunna have someone undo it for me".
Cloud looked at Applejack. Applejack felt herself freeze. Oh Celestia. Was she....
Cloud pointed at her.
"You two girls. Come on up".
Sunset nodded Applejack in surprise. The two looked at eachother. This wasn't happening. It couldn't be. Next thing they knew, the teens were up on stage and standing before Cloud.
She was shorter than Applejack had imagined. She was shorter than the blonde girl by like 3 inches. It was a cute height. The same height as Rainbow Dash. Strange.
Cloud smiled. "So. Will you two do the honor and reveal to the whole world who I am??".
Applejack and Sunset nodded.
"Yeah".
Applejack reached around the other girl's head and undid the mask but held it in place. Her and Sunset Shimmer had the mask covering her face. It was quiet. Really quiet.
"On the count of three", Cloud said quietly into the microphone. "You lower the mask".
The two teens nodded. They looked at eachother smiling. Cloud had her back to the crowd. So they'd be the first ones to see her face. Applejack looked at Cloud. She could see her magenta colored eyes looking at her from behind her famous mask. She had blue colored skin. She looked alot like........
"One".
This was it.
"Two".
No turning back now.
"Three".
The mask was lowered. Applejack gasped. She dropped the mask and brought a hand up to her mouth.
Rainbow smiled at her.
"Hi".
Applejack stared at her for a bit. She couldn't look away. Rainbow Dash. Her girlfriend was Cloud. A celebrity.
Finally after eternity of staring, she spoke.
"Ah thought...... but..... how-....".
Cloud laughed into the microphone.
"Oh yeah. I forgot".
Rainbow turned around, pulling her hood off. She smiled brightly. The crowd flipped out. The fans were screaming, completely freaking out.
Rainbow smiled and looked around. She saw the fans smiling and screaming with joy. Okay. So this wasn't a mistake. Good. Rainbow stood there giggling for a few minutes. Finally the fans had calmed down.
"Yeah. This is my face", Rainbow laughed. "So uh..... I hope I'm not ugly to you guys".
The fans shouted no at her, shaking their heads. She heard a few fans shout, "You're beautiful Cloud" and "You're gorgeous".
Rainbow smiled. "Thank you guys. Now. Here's the next thing I need you tell you".
Rainbow looked around. "My name".
The crowd went crazy again. Rainbow was so happy that they were so excited and accepting of her. She had the greatest fans in the world.
"My name is.....".
She looked around smirking.
"Rainbow Dash".
She cringed. The fans were screaming their heads off. She could already see the future headlines in the magazines and the twitter explosion. Rainbow smiled as the crowd got quieter.
"Yeah. That's me. Rainbow Dash. You can love the name. Hate it. Bash it. Embrace it. But that's my name".
Rainbow looked back at Applejack and smiled. She turned around to look at Applejack and Sunset.
"Thanks guys", she said.
Rainbow looked back at Applejack. She smiled shyly.
"Well...... surprise".
Applejack walked up to her and looked down at her. Rainbow looked at her nervously. Applejack smirked. She wrapped her arms around Rainbow's waist, pulling her close.
Rainbow looked at her in confusion.
"Wait", she said. "You're not mad??".
Applejack shook her head and smiled.
"Nope. Ah'm happy fir ya. You're a celebrity. Thank you fir finally tellin me".
Rainbow smiled. She brought the microphone to her lips.
"Oh yeah", she said quietly. "One more thing".
Applejack nodded. Rainbow bit her bottom lip.
"You sure??", Rainbow asked pulling the microphone down.
Applejack nodded again.
"Ah'm sure. Ah don't want you ta have ta hide yir girlfriend from the public. Now that they know what you look like, they'll recognize you easily anyways".
Rainbow sucked her teeth and frowned.
"Man. Now I remember why I hid my identity".
Applejack chuckled. "Don't worry", she said lifting Rainbow's head up.
"We'll go through this together".
Rainbow smiled. "Really??".
Applejack smiled. "Yeah. It's what girlfriends do. We're goin through this together. No buts".
Rainbow smiled. She brought the microphone up to her mouth again.
"This is my girlfriend. The one I told you guys about a year and a half ago. Her name is Applejack".
The girls faced the crowd. The fans went insane. The sound sounded like thunder and the screams were crazy loud. Applejack pulled Rainbow Dash close to her. Her hands rested on her hips.
Rainbow smiled up at her, her eyes shining.
"I think we can have one more song", she said into the microphone. She looked at the crowd.
"You all know this one".
The music started. Rainbow held the microphone to her lips, facing Applejack and Sunset.
"Look at the sky and wonder in amazement. Get chur pretty eyes, above the pavement. Just stop, wherever you are. Turn up the staaars", she started softly.
Imagine Rainbow singing Turn up the Stars by Hey Ocean. Or just listen to it. I swear, it fits Rainbow so much!!.
AN: Whatever you do. DON'T imagine Rainbow singing while Applejack stares at her adoringly. Please Don't imagine the three girls dancing to the jazz music. I beg you not to imagine Applejack and Sunset Shimmer lightly singing into the microphone along with Rainbow and the other hundreds of fans.
FOR THE LOVE OF CELESTIA. DON'T IMAGINE THIS LAST SCENE!!
Rainbow smiled. Applejack linked their hands together, looking down at the girl.
"Look at the sky and wonder in amazement", Rainbow sang softly.
"Get chur pretty eyes above the pavemeeent. Ohhhh".
The crowd went crazy. Rainbow giggled and turned to them grinning. She waved out to the crowd.
"That was fun", she spoke into the microphone. "I'm sure you all enjoyed that one. That one's my favorite from the album. Oh yeah. Another thing".
Rainbow looked at Applejack.
"Look up".
Applejack, Sunset Shimmer and Rainbow Dash looked up. Applejack smiled.
The arena's room had been opened to reveal a black sky. The stars twinkled like diamonds.
"Wow".
They heard ohhs and ahhhs from the crowd as they also looked up at the sky.
Applejack looked down again. She smiled at Rainbow Dash. The teen looked so beautiful in the light. Applejack felt like the luckiest girl on earth. She had a famous singer for a girlfriend. A beautiful famous singer if she said so herself.
Applejack reached out and touched Rainbow's cheek. Rainbow looked down and looked at her. She smiled. Applejack caressed her cheek gently.
She slowly leaned in, Rainbow doing the same. Their lips touched. They heard the fans flipping out. Bit nothing else was noticed but the way the two teens fit together perfectly.
Rainbow wrapped her arms around Applejack's neck, smiling into the kiss. Finally they pulled away. Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked around the eachother smiling.
"Ah didn't know you could sing", Applejack said.
Rainbow shrugged. "I do from time to time".
They both giggled.
"Maybe you should sing more often", Applejack said, tucking a strand of green hair behind Rainbow's ear. Rainbow grinned.
"Maybe".
