Spike's Diary

Dear Diary,

Today, while helping Applejack out with one of her classes at the school, I noticed that she was looking preoccupied. Nothing too serious, but I could see that something besides the lesson was on her mind, and that it was bothering her. So, worried about her, I waited until the bell rang and all the students left to ask what was eating her. Seems she's concerned about her Grandmother, and that she left Rainbow Dash in charge of looking after her and her friends during a trip to Las Pegasus. I smiled and assured her that she didn't have anything to worry about. Rainbow wouldn't put Granny or the other mares at risk or anything after all.

But Applejack was still worried. She kept going on and on about things she maybe should have said to Rainbow before she left, or that it was maybe a bad idea not to chaperone them herself, and all these other points that had been bothering her. But again, I said she needed to calm down. Rainbow wouldn't let her down, and she knew it. Applejack, after a while, sighed and smiled back to me, giving me a pat on the head and thanking me for trying to cheer her up. It was good to help her, and I'm glad she was feeling better.

But, she had a big day ahead of her covering for Rainbow, so it was off to the next lesson shortly afterwards.
