There was no warning. No grand reveal. Rainbow Dash was out in the park tossing a frisbee between Applejack and Apple Bloom like sheād done a hundred times before on clear afternoons, carefree as always. But when the feeling hit, it rooted her legs to the ground, paralyzed, and she barely registered the hard, plastic disc bouncing off her muzzle.
āHeh, gotta keep yer mouth open, sugarcube.ā Applejack joked, but when she heard no response her expression turned. āHey, Rainbow, you ok? I didnāt hit ya that hard.ā Dash looked away, unsure how to answer.
āIs everything all right, sis?ā Apple Bloom called out a few steps behind.
āJust fine, AB. Mind if I take a quick timeout with Dash here?ā After she was gone, Applejack wrapped a foreleg around Dashās shoulders. āWhatās going on?ā
āItās nothing,ā Dash finally said, still not meeting her marefriendās eyes.
āDonāt sound like nothinā ta me.ā
āIām fine.ā
Applejack sighed. āYa aināt no good ta me like this, Rainbow. Youāve even said so before.ā Dash winced at that last line, so Applejack leaned forward gave a light kiss. āCome on now. Talk ta me. Please.ā
At last Dash found the ability to move, if only to sink her body into the fresh grass. āIāmā¦ jealous,ā she said after a long pause. āOf you and Apple Bloom.ā
Applejack raised her eyebrows in surprise. āāCause we was playinā catch earlier?ā
āNo, not because of today!ā Dash exclaimed, fiercely. āNothingās different today than any other day. So maybe Iāve always been jealous, and I didnāt realize it until now. I donāt know.ā Her next line was a whisper. āMaybe itās because I couldāve been a sister too.ā
āCouldāve beenā¦ oh.ā Applejackās ears wilted at the tips when she realized what Dash was saying. āOh, Rainbow, Iām so sorry. I didnāt know.ā
āI never told you.ā
āWell, sure butā¦ā
āIt was going to be a boy too. They say you canāt know for sure, but I did. It was going to be an awesome little brother that I could go racing with. And see Wonderbolts shows together. And break curfew all the time. And have big adventures.ā Dashās voice broke, and she squeezed her eyes shut.
āWhat happened?ā
āMom fell. It was an accident, and it didnāt look bad at first. But they said there was too much damage.ā Dash shook her head and lowered it to the ground. āIām sorry, Applejack. I donāt mean to be jealous. Youāre a great sister, but sometimes I feel like I couldāveā¦ā
āNone aā that, now,ā Applejack said and kissed the top of Rainbowās head. āYer already a great sis, Dash. Apple Bloom loves ya. And I know Scootaloo thinks the world of ya. I promise these things count. Even if it aināt blood, itās still family.ā
āHeh, yeah. That silly kid,ā Dash smiled mirthlessly.
āIf ya like I could go find her.ā
Dash shook her head. āStay?ā
Applejack held her tight. āāCourse, Rainbow. As long as ya need it.ā
