Rara was still suffering from her hangover when she greeted her best friend, Applejack, at lunch. "Are you alright, sugarcube?" She asked the pop star with worry in her voice and posture. Rara gave Applejack a pained smile.

"I have a raging hangover." Rara admitted to Applejack and Applejack's worried look remained on her face.

"Svengallop didn't stress you out again, did he?" She guessed and Rara smiled at Applejack. I fucking knew it! Applejack thought with anger. She couldn't believe that Svengallop was causing Rara more trouble for herself. Applejack knew that Rara was already stressed out by simply being a regular girl, but being a famous pop star makes the stress go up even more. "That fucking dolt." Applejack hissed as she wanted to show the cruel manager her fist.

"Don't worry about me, Applejack." Rara tells Applejack. Applejack gave Rara a look that told Rara that Applejack was insulted by her words.

"Coloratura, I can worry about you. You're one of my best friends and I will beat Svengallop into the ground for making you even stress out for the most simplest things." Applejack tells Rara and her genuine words made Rara tear up out of happiness.

"I'm glad you care about me, Applejack." Rara tells Applejack as she collapsed into tears in Applejack's waiting arms. As she cried out both her sorrow and happiness, Applejack was wondering how she could help Rara. When she thought up of the best decision for Rara, she grinned down at the girl.

"Of course, sugarcube. How do you feel about talking to a therapist?" She asked Rara. Rara isn't one to glare, but she did give Applejack a flat face that told Applejack how Rara felt about talking to a therapist. "Now, hear me out. You don't have to keep on talking to the person if you don't like their methods." Applejack tells Rara, trying to soothe her about talking to a therapist.

"I don't have to keep on going to them if I don't like them?" Rara asked and Applejack frowned at how tired and mentally exhausted Rara was.

"No, of course not. There are bad therapists and there are good therapists. Unfortunately, it's our job to find the right therapist." Applejack tells Rara, who sighed at the thought of having a therapist.

"I don't have the time to find one." Rara admitted to Applejack and her words made Applejack remember that Rara was a very famous pop star. She sighed as she then tried to think up of a way to help Rara. When Applejack found a solution, she grinned at Rara and Rara noticed the grin. "What are you thinking about?" She couldn't help but to smile at Applejack.

"I can help you find one, sugarcube." Applejack offered to Rara. Rara was touched by her best friend's kindness that she grew a much wider grin on her face and when Applejack noticed the smile, she beamed. I've made her happy! Applejack was glad that she was able to make Rara happy.

"You'll do that for me?" She asked Applejack and her hair moved as the wind started to blow much heavier now. Applejack placed her hand on her hat to keep her hat on her head.

"Of course, Rara. You'll my best friend. I want to help you out." Applejack tells Rara and Rara couldn't help but to be happy at Applejack's suggestion. She knew that Applejack wanted her to be healthy because she had a long journey ahead of her. A long journey that will probably make her grow even more popular. Rara didn't care much about the popularity, but she did care for her fans that enjoyed her songs and her charities. Applejack knew that after Svengallop had left, Rara was doing great. Sure, she had drank on occassions, but she was back to heavily drinking and Applejack didn't want Rara to get hurt by her decisions, which was her way of coping with Svegallop being back in her life as her manager.

As Applejack thought about Rara, her thoughts also went towards Coco Pommel and she wondered how the young girl was doing. Sure, Rarity was keeping her safe, but her dark memories with Suri Polomare did harm her for a while. Applejack got the idea for a therapist after Rarity had told her that she had took Coco to a therapist. Rarity warned Applejack that not all therapy sessions will help out Rara, but Rarity was glad that Applejack was willing to try for Rara's sake. I wonder how her therapy sessions had went. Applejack wondered as she remembered how angry Rarity would be after Coco's therapy sessions, but she just chalked it to her learning more things that Suri did to the poor girl.

Unfortunately to Applejack, she doesn't know the worst of it. She doesn't know that Coco have to sleep with Rarity nearby or with her.

Unfortunately, Rarity had to watch Coco Pommel suffer through her nightmares and she hated to watch Coco cry out in sadness and agony simply because of her mental agony but she can't help her unless Coco actually tells her what is going through her mind. I can't help her unless she tells me what's wrong. Rarity thought as she watched Coco snuggle up in her bed.

Rarity hated not knowing what to do with Coco's situation. Coco is deathly terrified of unknown ponies' touches and Rarity knew that the fear was deeply rooted in her because of Suri's methods of punishment when Coco's failures causes her embarrassment, but Rarity thought that it was Suri's fault. Yes, Coco is a clothing designer, but she's new to the job and Suri didn't even raise her designing skills. She instead caused her fearful personality to increase and Rarity hated that was what Suri did to Coco because now, it is hard to get Coco to not panic at the thought of having to design a dress.

Rarity wanted to get Coco to attend school with her, but the abuse that Suri had inflicted on her had made Coco wary of other ponies that wasn't Rarity or her friends. To cope with her pain, Coco took up drinking and she almost had a one-night stand, but Rarity saved her from the one-stand stand as Rarity knew that Coco would have cracked under pressure if the mare had asked her to have sex with her.
