Rainbow Dash just stood there dumbfounded. “What do you mean your Rarity?” Rainbow asked shocked.

AppleJack sighed. “ I borrowed a book from Twilight and went to return it, then AppleJack showed up to help Twilight with a new spell she had been working on, one thing led to another and me and AppleJack ended up having a fight, Twilight began to cast a spell to teach us both a lesson, but AppleJack bucked me into her while she was casting it and the spell back fired and we ended up in each others body” Rarity explained

“Well what the buck were you fighting about for Twilight to want to teach you a lesson, must have been pretty bucking important” Rainbow crossed her hooves.

AppleJack sighed. “ Truth is it wasn't anything important, I'm the one who said something unforgivable, I'm the reason AppleJack's going through so much pain right now” Rarity began crying.

“I don't mean to sound like an ass AppleJ- I mean rarity, but it must have been something really bucking horrible if you managed to wind AppleJack up, I mean she's so laid back, it takes a lot to piss her off” Rainbow gave Rarity a stern look.

Rarity's tears kept flowing freely. “It truly was, I wouldn't be surprised if she never forgave me, but I don't care right now, I was to make sure AppleJack's okay, that's all that matters now. Rarity stared at the floor with a face full of regret.

“Well....” Raindow stuttered. “How long is this gonna last? Can Twilight turn you guys back?” Raindow questioned.

“Yes she said she could but she needs to study the spell and gather enough magic to cast it, and unfortunately that won't be until the end of the week”

Rainbow raised he eyebrows. “Well I hope this 'experience'” Rainbow emphasised. “Will make you understand just how good a friend AppleJack is”

“It already has Rainbow, I've learned how much AppleJack has done for ponies, risking everything to try and make them happy, all the while keeping her own sadness bottled up, I always knew AppleJack what a great pony, I guess I took it for granted, and now I've made her hurt so much”
Rarity dug her hoof into the ground.

“Well I guess that's a start” Rainbow huffed. “So you wanna talk about AppleJack, ease your mind a little bit” Rainbow gestured.

“I'd love to Rainbow but as I said I can't see anything, could you go get Big Mac for me, and he doesn't know about this so keep it quite please” AppleJack pleaded.

“Oh shit right, got it, I'll be back in a flash, and then we talk deal?” Rainbow reached out her hoof.

“Deal”

“Shake on it” Rainbow said sternly.

It took a few tries but Rarity finally managed to find Rainbows hoof and shook it.

“Okay be right back” Rainbow shot off in the search for Big Mac.

Rarity was left alone, alone with nothing more than her thoughts.

Rarity heard quiet hoof steps in the distance but considering he current level of hearing they were probably much closer.

“AppleJack!” Rarity heard Big Macs voice.

“Haven't you taken your medication yet!” Big Mac appeared to yell but her hearing made it see like a whisper.

“Sorry Mac, Ah can't see, so ah guess ah didn't find it” Rarity rubbed a hoof on the back of her head.

“Right ama go get it, you stay put!” She heard the hoof steps slowly disapear.

“Told ya I'd be quick” Rainbow said out of the blue.

Rarity jumped. “ Rainbow how long have you been there!”

“Well I left for 20 seconds to find and tell Big Mac, then came back, so about 30 seconds after I told you I'd find Big Mac” Rainbow laughed whole heartedly.

It wasn't long before Big Mac was back with the medication.

“Here ya go sis, now remember to take two of these every 8 hours, when ya get up, midday, and when ya go to bed alright” Big Mac placed the meds in Rarity's hoof and then placed it on her shoulder, if she had the ability to see she would have seen a rather rare sight, Big Mac smiling.

Rarity offered a weak smile and quickly gulped down two of the pills.

“Now it'll take a couple of hours for them to kick in and you'll be able to see again, so go to bed and rest okay” Big Mac removed his hoof.

“Are ya shure Mac I wouldn't wanna leave ya bucking all by yourself?” Rartiy stated before being inturuped by Rainbow.

“You got it Big Mac, And I'll personally make sure she stays in bed until she's getter okay” Rainbow offered a winning smile.

“Thank ya Rainbow that means a lot, now you get some rest okay sis, I'll see ya for dinner”
And with that Big Mac began to walk off.

Rainbow said before nudging Rarity. “Alright you heard him, get to bed, we've got a lot to talk about”

Rarity got the hint “Fine, fine, I'm going” Rarity sighed

“So that's what happened huh?” Rainbow sat there hooves crossed.

“I'm afraid so” Rarity lowered her head.

“Well can't say AppleJack's better but, What you did was way outta line Rares” Rainbow gave a devil stare to Rarity.

Rarity's sight slowly returning to her, so that she could meet Rainbow's gaze. She sighed.

“I know, and i'll never be able to take it back, but right now all I care about is AppleJack” Rarity clutched the bedsheets. “I don't know fully what happened here, but I'm gonna find out, I know Applejack wouldn't want me to but...... I can't just sit back and let her suffer like this, I mean I couldn't imagine waking up everyday, having to live it to the fullest, because I might be dead tomorrow, I could imagine pretending every single day that I was okay when I was far from it”

Rarity clutched the sheets tighter.

“I need to find out what happened to her, to understand, and to let her know, she doesn't have to face it alone anymore, we might fight about the stupidest things, but I'd die for her, and she needs to know that” Rarity began to cry again.

“Well that's a good start” Rainbow smiled “Anyway's I'm gonna go check on Rar- I mean AppleJack, who I'm not surposed to let know that I know she's AppleJack” Rainbow laughed.
“So I'm going to go check on Rarity, cya later AppleJack” Rainbow winked and turned to walk out the door.

As soon as she left Rarity sighed. She got out of bed and walked towards the door and looked down the hallway. She saw Rainbow speaking to the crusader's.

“Now guys I've got a cutie mark idea for you” Rainbow smirked

“Cutie Mark! What is it!” The three said in unison.

“It's called bodyguarding” Rainbows smirk increased.

“Bodyguarding?” They all questioned.

“Yeh bodyguarding I need you three to guard AppleJack's room and make sure she doesn't leave, because she need to rest, but you know she she doesn't like sitting around and doing nothing, so make sure she doesn't leave until dinner time, can I trust you with this mission?” Rainbow stood tall.

“Yes boss you can count on us!” The three saluted.

Rainbow turned he head to the top of the stairs and looked straight at Rarity and winked before walking out the front door.

Rarity sighed and shut the door. She wasn't going to figure anything out today.

Rarity walked slowly around the room, and notice to décor that was, AppleJack's life. Her attention was brought too, two photo frames on a set of drawers near the bathroom, she walked up to them and picked up the first one, it was a picture that had been taken after Princess Luna was rejoing with her sister, and ponyville rejoiced in her return. Rarity smiled. We all looked so happy in that photo, that was the day our true friendship was born. She went to place it back down but dropped it causing the other photo to fall, she placed the first photo back in it's place, and went to pick up the second photo. The back had fallen off and the picture had fallen out, she picked it up and observed it. It was her as a filly, along with Big Mac or as the picture would seem, small Mac. Applebloom must not had been born yet, next to Big Mac was Granny Smith and next to AppleJack must have been her mother, Rarity met AppleJack and few years after her parents death, she was extremely beautiful, then again so was AppleJack, she wasn't picture perfect like most ponies, she was rugged, undefined, a diamond in the rough. Still AppleJack was beautiful and Rarity thought it was sad that AppleJack never thought so. Rarity noticed a crease in the photo, she turned it round and indeed part of the photo had been folded back. She unfolded it, and her stomach formed a not. On the other side of AppleJack it appeared to be her farther. He looked at a lot like Big Mac only he had blue eyes and a slightly longer mane which is probably why AppleJack was so scared. Rarity felt sick, deep in her mind she knew what had happened, but she wouldn't admit it unless there was solid proof. She wasn't going to assume things, she needed to know for sure.

She folded the photo back up and put it back inside the photo frame. She noticed some writing on the back of the photo frame just a she was putting it in.

“Son you had a good name around the town, So I will not ruin that, but what you did to her was unforgivable, may you spend forever in Tatarus, to receive the pain you deserve, receive it a thousand times worse than she did” Rarity's tear's flowed freely 'AppleJack's Grandmother must had wrote that. She fixed the photo and placed it back.

Rarity's tears began to dry up and she stared at both the photos, “Don't worry AppleJack, you've still got us, we'll be here for you, forever, because that's what friends do, they support each other in times of need, help each other when they have nothing left, protect each-other till the death” Rarity looked up and stared into a mirror with an almost emotionless expression.

“I'll always protect you AppleJack, always”
