Rainbow Dash alighted on Cookie's balcony, knocking on the window.

"Hey, there, Ms. Crumbles," she said. "I did what you asked with that storm cloud, but I'm still a little confused why you care about the mountain lake so much?"

"It's okay, Rainbow Dash," Cookie said, smiling. "You've done your part."

"What was that all about, anyway?"

Cookie glanced at the spare sleeping bag she’d stolen out of the wagon. “I wasn’t born yesterday,” Cookie said, smiling to herself. "Sweetie’s in heat, my husband's a pent up idiot, and I'm not getting any younger. No stupid Wonderbolt kid is going to get in the way of me having grandchildren."

"Huh?"

"Nothing," Cookie said with a happy sigh. "Here's your payment."

Rainbow accepted the bag of bits and flew back to Applejack, confused.
