Applejack!" Twilight shouted, opening the window, leaning out and giving her friend a wave.

"Oh howdy Twilight, didn't expect to see ya here." Applejack smiled returning her wave and walking towards the window.

"Could say the same about you." Twilight smiled back.

"Well ah got some spare time, is Silvermane here?" Applejack asked leaning in through the window giving Fluttershy a quick nod.

"Uh no shouldn't he be with you?" Twilight raised an eyebrow confused.

"Well no, he kinda ran into some trouble with Rarity and Big Mac told him to leave." Applejack shook her head glancing over at Fluttershy shrinking down on her chair.
"Ah just came to tell him he isn't fired but he needs to understand it will not be tolerated a second time." She continued, looking at Fluttershy whose ears perked up.

"He got into trouble with Rarity?"

"Yep, 'pparently he has no love for unicorns."Applejack nodded.

"He's a racist?" Twilight asked shocked at what she just heard.

"Oh no." Fluttershy mumbled as she shrunk down.

"You knew about it?"

"W-w-we-I-you-ju-I......"
Slumping down and avoiding her friends eyes.
"S-sorry I should have told you."

"So ya did know, why didn't ya tell me?"

"I-I was afraid you wouldn't give him a job, h-he really needed it and he's been so nice and helpfull."

"Fluttershy I-we can't really be mad at you, we know you had the best intents, but please things like these might be important to know, especially if it's a stallion living with you." Twilight said, thinking for a few seconds before asking.
"Has he done ...anything against you because you are a pegasus?"

"I-i don't think so..."She mumbled, fiddling with her hooves a bit before looking at them again.
"i can't say, he has been uhm a bit uhm.."

"Scary?" Applejack raised an eyebrow.

"N-no, well yes, but he hasn't been really uhm that mean I just ...." Fluttershy begun, taking a deep breath. 
"He...he uhm he has walked into my room at night, three times now."

"To your room?!" Both Applejack and Twilight asked in union, staring at her wide eyed.

"Mhm." Fluttershy nodded, confused at first at her friends stares before it dawned on her.
"B-but not like that! he just kind of stand there at the doorway watching me for a moment before going back downstairs."

".......He just walks up to your room in the middle of the night stares at you for a while then goes back down to sleep?" Twilight shook her head staring at her friend.

"Uhm yes..."

"Ya do know how ...eh weird this sounds?" Applejack asked taking off her hat and scratching her head.

"Yes I-I ...do you girls hear screaming?" Fluttershy hung her head, quieting down for a moment as she perked her ears.

"Ahm - screaming?" Applejack repeated, turning around towards the the road, spotting a small pinto colt running at full speed towards them.

"Twiii-hi-liiight!!" He shouted before coming to an abrupt stop as he dug his little hooves down to stop himself.

"Pip? what's going on?" Twilight asked, quickly teleporting herself outside next to the little colt.

"T-Twilight uh I mean princess Twilight sir er maam there's *huff* t-there's-" He gasped looking up at the princess.

"Okay, Pip calm down take a breath and tell me what happened?." Twilight said patting the colt on the back and giving him a calming smile.

"O-okay." Pausing and letting himself catch his breath before continuing.
"There is trouble at the market, a grumpy long maned stallion is in a hoof fight with miss Dash."
