chapter 19: The next morning

Stirring in her bed, Applejack sat up and rubbed her tired eyes. She opened her eyelids as she stared at her striped legs, something he ha grown accustomed to now over the last few days. Yawning, she moved herself up and out of the side of the bed and onto the floor. popping her neck, she shook her body to loosen up her sore muscles and looked around.

When she had arrived the night before, she was too exhausted to really see what her room was like, but now she sat and couldn't help but admire the work that was done. The clay walls were lined in graphic designs that stood out to her eyes. Thick stems of bamboo braced the corners of the room and ran across the ceiling. Right next to her bed was a small dresser made of white wood that held her Stetson on the top. Trotting back over to it, she picked it up and placed it on top of her head above her short Mohawk.

Going into the bathroom, she rinsed off her face to really wake herself up. After drying herself off, she walked back into the room. "So Zecora, ah was thinkin' that now we are here, how long will..." Applejack stopped when she realized she was alone in the room. "Zecora?"

The other bed in the room was already neatly made and vacant. The only thing that was off about it was the small note left on the pillow. Curious, she trotted over and opened it up for her to see before she started reading out loud. "Dear Applejack, I am leaving early but I will be back. I am going to gather the medicine that we need, so we can return home and complete our deed. I will be gone for several hours at least, so you can go to a diner and enjoy an early feast. I also have to see some faces I've known, so I would prefer if I saw them alone. So enjoy the morning while I am away, but don't let your guard drop and your mind astray."

After finishing the note, Applejack couldn't help but chuckle to herself. "She even rhymes when she writes stuff down." She also felt happy knowing that they were that much closer to getting the cure for her sister and returning home. "Don't worry now Applebloom. ah'm comin' home soon."

The growl in her stomach broke her out of her thinking. "Heh, guess ah will go get somethin' to eat right now." Her amusement suddenly disappeared when she realized her small predicament. "How in the hay am ah supposed to pay fer food if ah have no bits from this place?"

She highly doubted that this land accepted equestrian bits or not, which would have caused her a problem if she went somewhere and tried to use those. Her eyes then drifted over to the small dresser by Zecora's bed and revealed a small pile of shining pieces. Coming closer, she saw while bits back home were of gold, the ones here were made of silver. Picking one of them up, she noticed that one side was inscribed with strange swirl pattern designs, while the other had what appeared to be an odd looking staff.

A smirk spread across Applejacks face. "Ah owe ya another thing Zecora." Gathering up the small pile of silver, she slipped them into one of her small satchels and slipped it over her shoulder. Walking out of the room, she traveled down the narrow hallway and out the front door to the streets outside.

Author's Note:

Alright, I know this is extremely short, especially after how long I've been gone. I apologize for both of those things. Problem is I have had so much on my mind his story kinda got forgotten among my others, so I need to rethink what happens.

I actually have a good idea what will go down in the last several chapters, but the trouble will be writing the few in between. I hope to have another, better chapter of this story next week
