5:30 am

Applejack woke up early as always, she lived on a farm near the city, she woke up early every day for her chores, and also to get ready to go to school, because it would take a while to get there even by car, she wasn't the only one, the rest of her family also woke up early, Apple Bloom and Grandma Smith slept a little longer, Big Machintosh and she were the first to wake up, Applejack after putting on her work clothes found her brother in the kitchen, Big Mac was already 19 years old, he was young tall, tanned, and muscular, his hair was orange, his eyes were green, he had freckles like Applejack, and was wearing a red shirt, gray pants, and brown shoes.

"good morning" Applejack said, yawning.

Big Mac nodded, he wasn't one to talk much, he handed Applejack a cup of coffee, that would help a lot.

"thank you" Applejack said before drinking.

6:47 am

Applejack managed to finish her chores, and was now taking a shower, while Granny Smith was making breakfast, she felt much better as she felt the water run down her body, but then she started to think about what her day would be like, it's already been 4 days, after Rainbow Dash saved Fluttershy from Gilda, Fluttershy texted Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Applejack about what had happened, and they were all happy that Fluttershy was okay, and also happy that Rainbow defended her, and Applejack probably was the happiest, because it showed that Rainbow Dash was still Rainbow Dash even after everything, and Pinkie Pie said that it would be better if they forgave her so that they could all be friends again, Fluttershy agreed, but the others said that despite that they were still In doubt, Applejack said she wouldn't forgive her, many would think it was because of her famous stubbornness, but this time there was another reason...

I choose Gilda...

Applejack couldn't forget those words, much less the way Rainbow Dash had said it, without even hesitating, the 5 continued talking about the subject to decide whether or not they would forgive Rainbow Dash, but they still couldn't reach an agreement.

"I feel like today is going to be tiring" Applejack thought.

Knock...knock...knock...

"Applejack! I don't know if you know but I need to take a shower too!" exclaimed Apple Bloom impatiently outside the bathroom.

7:15 am

Applejack had already taken a shower, changed her clothes and ate her breakfast, she was with Apple Bloom in the truck, heading to school, they were silent until Apple Bloom asked.

"Have you spoken to her yet?" Apple Bloom asked Applejack.

Applejack sighed, Apple Bloom had asked this question every day this week.

"no, I haven't spoken to her yet" Applejack replied.

"Applejack... do you hate Rainbow Dash?" asked Apple Bloom.

This question caught Applejack by surprise, she turned to her sister.

"of course not! What made you think something like that?!" exclaimed Applejack, confused by such an accusation.

"it's just that after what she did and you guys haven't resolved it in almost half a year it makes it seem like you hate Rainbow Dash" Apple Bloom explained.

Applejack thought for a moment before sighing and responding.

"no, I don't hate Rainbow Dash, it's just..." Applejack thought about what to say, until he remembered the words.

I choose Gilda...

"It's complicated" Applejack replied without wanting to talk much about the subject.

Apple Bloom looked at Applejack worriedly, but decided not to pursue the subject for now.

7:24 am

Applejack and Apple Bloom had arrived at school, Apple Bloom saw Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo and went to them, meanwhile, Applejack observed Rainbow Dash arriving, since the fight that led to the end of their friendship, whenever Applejack saw Rainbow Dash she felt a pain in her chest and a strange feeling, the memories of the time they spent together, the way they competed, the way Rainbow never accepted defeat and said things like: "I was taking it easy" "I let you win Applejack" "this control is bad" and a wide etc.

"APPLEJACK!"

Applejack was startled and turned around to see her friends looking at her worriedly.

"Are you okay? You stood there staring at Rainbow Dash for 5 minutes without blinking" asked Twilight, visibly worried.

When Applejack realized that she had been staring at Rainbow Dash for so long, she blushed... and her face turned completely red when she noticed that Rainbow was looking at her, probably realizing that Applejack was staring at her.

"Applejack?" Pinkie Pie caught her attention.

"ah, sorry, I was just thinking about something" Applejack said.

"Oh yeah? And what exactly were you thinking to get so distracted and your face all red?" asked Rarity smiling with her arms crossed.

"I... uhh... we have to go so we don't be late!" Applejack exclaimed before running off into the school.

The others watched this, were silent for a few seconds and then Rarity said.

"yeah, Appledash still lives" said Rarity.

After entering school, Applejack went to class, it was Spanish class, she wasn't good at the subject, and to make matters worse this was another class she had with Rainbow Dash, when she entered the room she sat next to Rainbow , because again it was the only free seat.

8:15 am

Applejack had forgotten how good Rainbow was at Spanish, she was fluent, without ever studying, and back in the day that was one of the thousands of things Rainbow loved to brag about, especially to Applejack who was terrible at Spanish, she remembers that Rainbow used to speak things in Spanish to irritate Applejack that she couldn't understand, and she didn't know if Rainbow was insulting her, praising her or saying random words just to irritate Applejack more who was trying to understand, she remembers the day Rainbow said.

"tu tienes un bueno par de tetas y un gran culo"

Unfortunately for Rainbow Dash, Applejack looked it up on a translation app, and when Applejack found out what Rainbow was talking about, Rainbow Dash ended up with a swollen face with Applejack's handprint on it... good times...

"Applejack!" Rarity exclaimed, snapping Applejack out of his thoughts.

"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something" Applejack apologized embarrassedly.

Applejack was heading to her next class and met Rarity on the way, and the two started talking.

"maybe it has something to do with a girl with rainbow hair?" asked Rarity smiling.

"no, I was... thinking about Spanish class, I really hate Spanish" said Applejack.

"yes, of course, speaking of hating classes, today there's physical education, I hate getting sweaty" said Rarity, feeling disgusted at the thought.

"lazy" Applejack said smiling.

"lazy not darling, I just prefer to take care of myself" Rarity defended herself.

"you're lucky you weren't at dodgeball class on Monday, your face would have been swollen by now" said Applejack.

"God forbid" said Rarity.

The two had to separate to go to their rooms, and again the only free seat was next to Rainbow Dash, it seemed like a joke, but she sat next to Rainbow Dash, the teacher hadn't arrived yet.

"eres muy linda"

Applejack listened and looked at Rainbow Dash, she couldn't hear properly because she wasn't paying attention, and Rainbow had spoken in Spanish.

"what?" Applejack asked Rainbow confused.

"nothing" Rainbow replied in a deadpan tone.

Before Applejack could insist on this subject the teacher arrived, during class Applejack kept thinking about forgiving Rainbow Dash, everyone missed her, she probably missed them, Rainbow was also always alone for months, could they...

I choose Gilda...

No, not yet... she wouldn't be able to forgive Rainbow Dash.

9:15 am

Applejack sighed in relief, a class without Rainbow Dash, next to her was Fluttershy, the teacher hadn't arrived yet.

"finally class without Rainbow Dash around" Applejack said.

"Are you still mad about what she did?" asked Fluttershy.

"I... I don't know..." Applejack admitted dejectedly.

At that moment Gilda entered the room, she was quiet, didn't look at anyone and sat down.

"it's strange that Gilda is so quiet like this" Applejack commented.

"since she and Rainbow last met Gilda not only hasn't done anything to me, but she also seems to be too shaken to interact with anyone" Fluttershy explained.

"too shaken, right..." Applejack thought.

I choose Gilda...

12:35 pm

Applejack and Apple Bloom were walking home, they were silent, Applejack sighed.

"no, I didn't resolve things with Rainbow Dash" Applejack clarified Apple Bloom's doubts, already knowing what his sister wanted to ask.

"You were very shaken by what she did, weren't you?" Apple Bloom asked.

I choose Gilda...

Applejack tightened her grip on the steering wheel and Apple Bloom didn't respond, before long the two arrived home, and Applejack went straight to her room to rest, she would have to do some more things later.

I choose Gilda...

Applejack sighed, picked up her cell phone, thought about chatting a little with her friends to distract herself, but she saw one of her contacts and stared, it was Rainbow Dash, when they fought Applejack thought about blocking the number... she never blocked it, she didn't know Because she didn't block, maybe because deep down she hoped Rainbow would call or send a message, but that never happened, Applejack took courage, and decided to call Rainbow Dash.

...

...

...

"hello?" Rainbow said over her cell phone.

Applejack sat nervously, not knowing how to respond.

"Apple Bloom is that you?" Rainbow asked.

Applejack sighed.

"no Rainbow, it's me, Applejack" Applejack said a little calmer.

Rainbow didn't say anything for a few seconds that seemed like an eternity, something that made Applejack even more nervous.

"hi..." said Rainbow.

"hi..." Applejack replied.

...

...

...

After an awkward and uncomfortable silence Rainbow decided to ask.

"did something happen?" Rainbow asked.

"it's not that..." Applejack thought about what to say.

I choose Gilda...

"Rainbow, we need to talk" Applejack said.

"about what?"

"you know what" said Applejack, it was obvious that Rainbow didn't feel comfortable talking about it, nor did Applejack feel prepared to have this conversation, but she knew they should work it out.

"it's okay... you can talk"

"no, we're going to talk in person, face to face" Applejack said in a serious tone.

Rainbow was silent for a few seconds as if she was thinking.

"where and when?"

"at my house at 4:00 pm" Applejack said without thinking twice.

"all good"

"well... see you later Rainbow" Applejack said.

"See you later AJ"

AJ... Applejack's face flushed when Rainbow said that nickname, she wasn't the only one who called her that, nor was she the first, but...

"I can't believe I did that" Applejack said, her face red as she realized what he did.

She looked at the timetable to see how much time she had.

1:00 pm

She had 3 hours before Rainbow Dash arrived... well Rainbow was usually late, but even so she had to start preparing, she started doing her chores.

2:30 pm

Applejack had managed to finish her chores in record time, so she went back to her house to take a shower.

3:20 pm

After showering and changing her clothes, Applejack was cleaning her room.

"what are you doing?" asked Apple Bloom curiously.

"I invited Rainbow Dash to talk, and she came over to the house" Applejack replied while cleaning.

"really?...but why are you doing all this?" asked Apple Bloom.

"like this?" Applejack asked without looking at Apple Bloom as she continued to clean her room.

"do all your chores right after you get home from school, shower and get ready, clean your room... will she come over to talk or will you two-" Apple Bloom was interrupted by Applejack.

"NO!...no I...I don't know..." Applejack admitted with a red face.

"are you okay? It's not normal to see you act like this" Apple Bloom said worriedly.

"I..." Applejack tried to say something but was interrupted by her grandmother's voice.

"Applejack you have a visitor!" Grandma Smith shouted from downstairs.

"she's here early" Applejack said in surprise.

"I have a certain idea why" commented Apple Bloom smiling.

Applejack left her room and went downstairs and saw her grandmother talking to Rainbow Dash.

"I haven't seen you in a while, how are you?" asked Grandma Smith, smiling.

"well, I'm living" Rainbow said in a deadpan tone.

"since you guys fought, Applejack hasn't been the same, she really liked you a lot, I also heard her sometimes crying and whispering-" Grandma Smith was interrupted.

"hey! Rainbow, you're here, come to my room, we have a lot to talk about!" Applejack exclaimed, her face red with embarrassment and trying to make her grandmother not mention anything embarrassing.

Rainbow Dash went up the stairs following Applejack to her room, and Rainbow managed to hear Grandma Smith say "these kids these days are very hormonal."

Applejack closed the door to her room, sighed and faced Rainbow, and again the two were in an awkward silence.

...

...

...

"hi" Applejack said shyly.

"hi" said Rainbow.

...

...

...

Applejack sighed, this way they would never solve this problem.

"Rainbow... I'm sorry" Applejack said.

Rainbow didn't change her neutral expression, but she looked confused and surprised.

"why are you apologizing?" Rainbow asked.

"I... I've been wondering for a while now if I overreacted, stopping being friends didn't do anyone any good, everyone else misses you, I miss you, and you... you're alone, we should have had this We talked months ago, but I was stubborn, I thought it would be better to forget you, but I can't..." Applejack admitted, not being able to contain her tears.

Rainbow didn't say anything, didn't even change her expression, she just walked over and hugged Applejack.

"okay, I made a big mistake, Gilda was a childhood friend, I thought she was incredible, but we didn't see each other for years, and when she came back I was happy, remembering the old times, and I didn't think straight, I thought that her more aggressive and rebellious way was cool, and she didn't seem to want any harm from me, but she didn't want to listen to you who just wanted to help me, and to this day I remember what I said... I choose Gilda... I didn't think straight when I said that, you had no reason to want to be my friends, you had no reason to talk to me, and you had no reason to forgive me" said Rainbow while hugging.

"Rainbow..." Applejack said as she cried more.

For a few minutes neither of them said anything else, Rainbow continued hugging Applejack until she calmed down, Rainbow didn't see Applejack cry much, Applejack almost never cried, after calming down Rainbow stopped hugging her.

"thank you..." Applejack said before sitting down on the bed.

"well, I made a mistake, no need to thank me" Rainbow said.

"Rainbow... I want to be your friend again... I want you to go back to being that energetic and egocentric girl, who always competed with me, bragged about every victory, made excuses for her defeats and insisted that she had won when she tied." Applejack said.

"I also want to be your friend Applejack... and the others too, I should be the loyalty of the group, but that day I chose Gilda... but now I choose you" said Rainbow, truly smiling for the first time in months.

Author's Note

well, this was the second chapter, I thought about making a chapter focused on Applejack and her point of view, without much on Rainbow Dash and other characters, the next chapter will be a direct continuation of this one, Rainbow will have more prominence, yeah the first story that focuses so much on romance, and in other chapters other characters will be more prominent, this week I will publish another chapter of Rainbow Dash, One Punch Mare.
