Applejack chewed the inside of her cheek and her brow furrowed in concern. She watched as Rainbow flitted around the barn, taking measurements and muttering under her breath. A growing unease squirmed in Applejackās stomach as Rainbow chuckled.
āSweet! At this rate, the room should be finished in like a week or two, tops!ā Rainbow landed in front of Applejack, pecked her on the cheek, and beamed at her. āThanks for talking Granny Smith into this, AJ. You have no idea how much I needed this.ā
Applejackās mouth opened and closed several times, trying desperately to find the right words.
Rainbow turned and gestured to the barn. āPlus, itās gonna be so awesome when itās done, donāt you think?ā
āErm, yeah, sure...ā Applejack scuffed the barn floor with a hoof. She couldnāt bring herself to meet Rainbowās eyes.
āAJ?ā Rainbowās voice was tinged with concern. Applejack felt a hoof prod her shoulder. āYou okay?ā
Applejack shook her head and gave Rainbow a strained smile. āYeah, Iām fine, itās just... Nevermind. Not important.ā
Rainbow nudged her again and draped a wing over her back. āWhatās up?ā
Applejack sighed. āLook, Rainbow, I know this is important to ya, and you know Iām more ān happy to help, right?ā
Rainbow raised an eyebrow. Since dating Applejack, she had gotten rather good at it. āYeah, and?ā
āWell, itās just...ā Applejackās face scrunched up and she shook her head. āThis whole birds nest thing is just a littleāā
Rainbow withdrew her wing and scoffed. āThis again?ā She huffed and stomped over to a set of blueprints spread over a table. āAJ, how many time do I have to tell you that itās not a birds nest?ā
Applejack groaned. This was one talk they have had too many times. In a deadpan voice, Applejack said, āDash, honey, I love ya, but youāre putting a bird feeder up there.ā
āSo? Pegasi eat bird seeds sometimes, whatās the big deal?ā Rainbow puffed out her chest with as much dignity as she could muster. āCanāt a pony want a snack every now and then?ā
āItās also got one of those round holes for getting in!ā
āThat doesnāt prove anything!ā Rainbowās determination faltered, Applejack could see it. It was slight, but it was there. āI need a way to get in from outside.ā
āWhat about that round peg-thing thatās stickinā out of the hole for you to land on?ā
āI-I donāt see what that has to do with anything.ā
āOkay, then whyāre you collecting bits of straw and hay?ā
Rainbow deflated. Her throat bobbed uselessly for a moment and her eyes shifted from Applejack to a bundle of straw she had just finished collecting. ā...Shuddup.ā
After another moment of silence, Applejack coughed. ā...Pegasi donāt lay eggs, do they?ā
