Happy Birthday Applejack

Rarity

Is a pony usually known for her snow-white coat and violet mane. However, the Rarity that appeared in Applejack’s dream was solid gold. Even her eyes were gold.

“Rarity, what are you doing here?” asked Applejack

“Boots!” responded the golden Rarity. She circled Applejack with a graceful trot.

“Excuse me?”

“Boots!”

“What about boots?”

“Boots! Boots! Magical boots! To find the answers you need to have the boots!”

“Where do I find these magical boots?”

“Boots!”

“Yeah, I get it, boots! But where can I find them?”

“To find the answers you need to have the boots!” Rarity then started to fade away.

“Wait! Don’t go!”

“Boots!”

“Wait…” Applejack then woke up and she was sitting up right in her bed, “…don’t go.” She said to herself. She sat in her bed for a while, trying to straighten her thoughts out. “I need to go see Rarity, she must know a thing or two about this.”

Applejack knocked on Rarity’s front door. When Rarity opened the front door, she was in a robe and her hair was a mess.

“Oh it’s you Applejack. Do you know what time it is? Look, the sun is hardly over the horizon.”

“I usually wake up at this time. Can I come in and talk?”

“Sure, is something wrong?”

“Yes…I mean, no…it is a bit hard to say.” Applejack walked into the house, which was sort of a mess.

“I was up late last night, I didn’t have time to clean up.” She led Applejack to two chairs and both of them sat down. “So what did you want to talk to me about?”

“I had a strange dream and you were in it.”

“Did I look fabulous?”

“Wait what? Uh, sure, you were solid gold.”

“That does sound fabulous.”

“In the dream you kept telling me that I needed some magical boots.”

“That sounds like something I would say, but I don’t have any magical boots. If I did, I would defiantly give them to you. Sorry dear.”

Applejack had a disappointing look on her face. “Oh, I see. Sorry to bug you so early in the morning.” Applejack left Rarity house and returned to the farm to get started on her morning duties.

Applejack could not take it any more. The dream about the boots kept bugging her. What could it mean? Where are these magical boots? Applejack decided to talk to Twilight about it because she knows a lot about magic, dreams, and legends.

Twilight flipped through one of her books, “According to my book about dreams, a boot represents that you have a bold position, while gold can represent wealth. Maybe you will become the head of a successful business!”

“What about the magical part?”

“Magic represent that you need to find a new way of doing things in order to succeed. Maybe this dream is tell you to try something new, you might be really good at it.”

“Twilight, I already have a business. Moreover, our family is getting a good amount from it. As for new, well my cutie mark is a bunch of apples.”

“Well, maybe the position you hold is your birthday. Maybe you need to find a new way of thinking about your birthday. And the “wealth” is you creating wonderful memories with your friends.”

“If that is so, then what did I lose?”

“Maybe you lost your birthday spirit.”

“No, that’s not it. What if the dream was talking about real magical boots?"

“Well, seeing that we are ponies, there are not a lot of boots in Equestria. Have you asked Rarity?”

Applejack had a feeling that the conversation with Twilight got her nowhere. Applejack was not convinced that the dream was a bunch of silly symbols.

“I had a nice time with yah Twilight but I must be going.” Applejack got up and left out the door.

Twilight turned to Spike and said, “What up with that pony?”

Applejack walked slowly down the street. She stared down at the gravel as she walked. “I know those boots are real, I just know it.”
