“Uhh…hey Applejack, why are you...still here?” Rainbow said, trying to convince Applejack that everything was just a mistake.

“The question is why are you two still here!?” Applejack cried.

“Hey, calm down, I can expla-“

“Ya’ don’t need to explain. I’ve seen everything for myself with mah very own eyes.”

“Wait, Applejack! It’s not what you think it is. It’s just a…”

“Misunderstanding? Yes, it was, but why do ya' need to play with mah emotions like this?”

Rainbow Dash stood still; jumbled, mixed up, confused, and filled with guilt.

“Everything you said back there…you lied!”

“No, it wasn’t. It’s all true. I really…love you!”

“Just…just stop it Rainbow, before you further-“

“Applejack,” she said grabbing her hoof “Listen to me: we have no relationship with Pinkie Pie. Everything you saw is…well, not what you think it is.”

“Yeah, right!” she shouted, slipping her hoof away from Rainbow's

“No, really!”

“Just…just go home Rainbow. Ah had enough of you.”

“But, Applejack…”

Applejack didn’t say another word. She went inside her house, wet with tears, her heart shattered like glass.

“I…love…you…”

Rainbow Dash flew away, crying and fully depressed. Sometimes, she’d bump into a tree and then fall into the ground, but she managed to stand up and continue flying until she broke her right wing. She went to the nearest house—which is Fluttershy’s cottage—to stay for the night until her wing heals.

The next morning, Applejack went out to sell her apples. Her head was aching about the incident last night, still crying. She went out until she heard a voice from one of the tree

“Hello, there Applejack! I see that you woke up as early as I did.”

“Wait, what was…Discord! What in Equestria are you doing up there in our roof?”

“Oh, hi Applejack” said Fluttershy. “Discord is here to help me with the hibernation of some animals. You don’t mind, do you?”

“Not at all” she replied, with a low melancholy tone.

“Thanks. I’ll be gone for a while to get something. I’ll be right back Discord.”

“Bye Fluttershy!” he said, waving at her. “Say, Applejack, you don’t seem well today. By the way, have you heard about the thing happened to Rainbow Dash? That pony needs to be careful next she’s flying through the Everfree forest. We found her last night just lying around outside the forest and she was like…you’re not listening, are you?”

“Like ah care." Applejack said with frustration.

“Well, suit yourself!” he said, lying on one of the branches of a tree. “Time to test these shades Fluttershy found for me.”

“I mean, why would anyone ‘care’ for someone breaking your heart after saying your feelings towards her?” she said to Discord, but unknown to Applejack, Discord was already sleeping.

“Not speaking, are ‘ya? Well, if ya’ think you’re helpin’, you’re not. I mean, everything…is a misunderstanding…” she was starting to be reinstated. “And ah think I was too harsh on her, ah didn’t even give her a chance to speak, and it’s all because of me. And ah should apologize to her.”

Applejack then pulled Discord down.

“Hey, what’s going –?” he said, awakened.

“Thank you Discord; I couldn’t have done it without ya’!”

“Well, you’re welcome. I was just only, well…wait, what there something I said?”

Applejack galloped to find Rainbow Dash. Meanwhile, Fluttershy came back with some animal feed.

“Hey Discord, where did Applejack go?”

“I don’t know. She just woke me up, said thanks, and ther]”

“And did she say anything to you before she left?”

“I don’t know either. I think it’s about Rainbow Dash…? Nah, I’m going back to sleep” he teleported himself back up the tree.

“Discord, have you forgotten we have some animals to take care of?” she said, shaking the tree

“All right, all right, all right! I’m coming down.”
