Rippling sunlight along the silk dress on display, thoughts of the upcoming hoedown begin to envelop Applejack.

She feels a tingle on her shoulder and gyrates it out.

"Hmm... it's too sissy."

Pressure on her shoulder causes Applejack to brush a hoof along it.

"Ahl just wear mah hat there."

Applejack nearly jumps out of her fur upon feeling a slap hitting her on the plot.

"Alright!" she turns back and gives a glare at no body, "You win, ahl wear the stinkin' dress to the hoedown."

Applejack huffs.  It was nice reuniting with her at first, but now she's been making up for lost time on everything.  Eating, associating, dressing, but she's a grown mare now that can lead her own life.

Turning to the dress, Applejack envisions herself in it. It is quite pretty, and to wear it...

Applejack smiles bittersweetly, "Even in death, you're still motherin' me."
