Was Rainbow Dash happier when she was alone? I've had a few talks with her in recent years, but she's never gone into that much detail to tell me. I like to think that in those days, when the most joy she could have acquired in life was that which she eked from pining over an unrequited love, it was a unique sort of high that she was capable of riding for lengthy periods of time. Having an intense infatuation, after all, possesses its own separate peace, and can revitalize one's soul from the inside out when everything else is bleak, trite, and even miserable.

But I fear that I'm projecting a tad bit too much. So let me get to the point.

The thing is, Rainbow Dash always had a way of finding happiness in something, even when her life was at its lowest point. Even in the days before cuddling, when she had no nightly plan save to quietly, secretly cry herself to sleep every evening, she was able to dredge warmth from the dark fabric of her dreams.

This would turn out to be a very helpful tool, especially in the days to come immediately after her initial adventure at Granite Mountain. Because if there was anything true about Rainbow's life in those days, it's that it had its multiple ups and downs, and each plunge—both the happy and the somber ones—made the blood rush harder than the dip previous.

I envy her, in a way. But, then again, that's just me...

So what? Are you some annoying talk show host that's a stalker? Who are you man?!

[zaponator]

Hrm, you know, not all that many horrible things happened to Dash last arc. In fact, her whole adventure was pretty kick-ass.
...are we gonna make up for that in this one?

[Sarda]

Further doubting that Applejack is the one telling this story. Leaning towards Rarity.

[HyperMonica]

I agree. I'm pretty sure this is either Rarity or Twilight here.

[Future Regret]

Twilight, I think.

[DrEggnog]

Some people are now guessing Mane Six that aren't Applejack.

I'm gonna go out on a wonky limb and guess Fancy Pants. Either way, it'll work out for me. I like being right but I also like surprises.

These last two arcs were both wonderful in their own extremely different ways.

I've had a few talks with her in recent years,

Most people have dismissed the idea that AJ could be the narrator. I'm beginning to think she is. That would infer that RD doesn't succeed in her relationship which would fall in line with the whole AJ wanting to start a family thing with some dude.

[Snowdrifter]

My guess is an older Spike is narrating. But I've been wrong before.

Who are you, mysterious pony?!

Even in the days before cuddling

It was the year five Before Cuddling, by pony reckoning.

[AppleTank]

Whoooo?
