Chapter 4.)

Applejack was about to go outside when she was stopped by someone.
"An where do ya think y'all are goin' at this hour? Applejack, you been whimperin' in your room for 3 and a half hours now! It's one in ther mornin'!" Granny Smith exclaimed. Applejack stopped dead.
"Haha... oh... yeah, ah guess I should keep track of mah timin', sorry Granny Smith, ah'll do my uh... thing in the mornin' then!" Applejack hurried off to bed without another word. She was an adult now, not a little filly, but Granny Smith just didn't see her that way, plus she was tough- if anypony thought she was senile, they had better think again! Applejack curled up into her bed, feeling a mix of emotions. The last thing she saw was a photo of Rainbow Dash. 
"Don't worry Dashie, we'll figure somethin' out, ah promise." And with that her eyelids fluttered closed and she drifted off to sleep...

"MORNIN' SLEEPY HEAD!!" Applejack woke up with a start, something was jumping up and down on top of her duvet!
"Applebloom! What the heck are y'all doin' here?! Can't ya see ah need some sleep?"
"Well... Big Macintosh told me that you're takin' me to school today seein' as he had to pick me up from school las' night." came her sheepish reply.
"Urrgh! Sorry Applebloom, ah completely forgot! Remind me that ah owe Big Macintosh."
"Uh... ok. Now hurry up or ah'll be late for school!"

Applejack hurriedly dropped Applebloom off at school. She needed to leave quickly- she had buisiness to attend to.
"Applejack...?" a friendly faced magenta coloured pony with a fluffy pink mane stood behind her.
"Oh! Mornin' Miss Cheerilee, sorry ah can't stay an' chat today ah'm runnin' a bit behind schedule on the farm an ah-"
"Oh Applejack! You look terrible! Did you have a rough night?"
"Erm... well.... ya'll could say that ah suppose..."
"Will you be alright?"
"Yes siree! Nothin' a little extra sleep an' a shower won't fix!"
"Oh.. ok... if you're sure..."
"Yes, thank ye! Ah'll be seeing you later!"
"Alrighty then, take care!"
Applejack sighed, Cheerlilee was nice, but Applejack didn't have time for her. She needed to fix things up- fast!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Applejack ran through Ponyville as fast as her hooves could carry her. She knew one pony who was intelligent enough to help her with her problems- Twilight.

Twilight sat in her library amoung countless numbers of books. Spike was dusting the bookshelves and she was trying to come up with some ideas of a letter she could write to the Princess this week. The perfect idea had just come into her head when out of the blue, an orange pony came crashing through her door. 
"AHHH!!! Applejack!" Twilight screamed as Applejack came skidding through her library, knocking piles of books flying. The pony skidded to a halt before clumsily falling over at the unicorn's feet. She quickly adjusted her cowgirl hat before speaking, 
"Sorry Twilight, ah'll clean it up, ah swear! But there's somethin' ah'm gonna need help with first... if ya'll don't mind...?"
Twilight sighed, "Fine. What do you want?"

So Applejack explained the whole situation to her, about how Rainbow Dash had confessed that she had a crush on her, about how she had just left her without even giving her a proper reply.
"Oh Applejack! You shouldn't have run away like that! What are you going to do?"
"Ah don't know..." Applejack sniffed.
"Well... do you like her...?"
"Oh of course I do Twilight! I've had a crush on her since the moment we met!"
"Well why did you run away then?!" Twilight said, sounding more and more confused.
"Speakin' truthfully Twilight... I don't know if ah'm ready to accept the fact that ah'm a filly fooler." Applejack flushed bright red.
"Oh Applejack, we love you either way! It's okay with us if you go out with Rainbow Dash!" Twilight said comfortingly.
"Really? Oh ah've been such a fool!"
"Well, you need to go and find Rainbow Dash and confess your feelings for her!"
