“C’mon AJ, you were totally awesome with that bow at the Friendship Games! And this is practically in your name!”

“My name’s Applejack, so I’m good at shootin’ apples off people’s heads? What in the heck kinda logic is that?”

“I trust you!”

“Awww, you used to be fun. You know I can see in slow-motion, right? I’ll just zip away if it looks like you’re gonna miss!”

“Why do you even want me to do this, Rainbow Dash?”

“Cause it’s totally awesome and I really want to feel it when the arrow penetrates—”

Rainbow stopped when she saw Applejack’s eyes widen.

“I mean… cause it’s cool.”

“Dash, no.”
