Applejack walked peacefully through the orchard, admiring the tranquility and silence. All of a sudden she felt a heavy impact and fell over, a black figure standing over her.

"Sombra!" She exclaimed happily then blushed and looked away.

"You miss me or somethin'?" He gave an honest smile.

"Nah..."

Sombra chuckled, "It's okay, I missed you too actually..."

She looked up hopefully, "Really?"

Sombra nodded, helping her up and nuzzling her.

Applejack blushed harder, "What do you want?"

"You." He licked her cheek, "You're the only one I like, and the king doesn't like just anyone."

"What brought this up?"

"I've have a lot of time to think these past five days."

"I can't, I'm sorry..."

Sombra pulled his ears back, "It's fine, Just wanted to let you know."

Applejack smiled, "Let's go buck some trees."

Sombra smiled again and nodded.

Now she just had to sort her feelings out.
