Rainbow Dash suffers a personal loss with the death of her parents and feels alone in the world. Her friends don't really understand her situation an she's not very inclined to explain it. However a certain farm pony isn't taking the matter at face value and doesn't feel inclined to leave her friend alone, regardless of what has to be done.

When Applejack finds herself stressing over life on the farm, Rainbow Dash tries to make her relax the only way she knows how: with danger.

Family. To the ponies of Sweet Apple Acres, to Applejack, there's nothing more important. But what does it mean to be family? Applejack's parents are finally returning home, but will it be the reunion she's always dreamed, will she finally receive answers to questions that have plagued her since youth? Or will her dream become a nightmare, fueled by fear of what those answers might be?

Rainbow appears at Applejack's in the middle of the night with an odd request.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack enjoy a nice, cold fall day.

for those who don’t know. The Cutie Mark Chronicles is the twenty-third episode of the first season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. In this episode, the Cutie Mark Crusaders learn how each of the Mane Six acquired their cutie marks. At Applejack’s flash back we saw a rainbow leading to her house. But where did the Rainbow end?

On the Last Day Ever, Rainbow Dash has a confession to make.

When Timber told the story of Gaia Everfree to the campers at Camp Everfree, Applejack laughed it off as a silly bedtime story. Before the night is through, however, she will find out that even the toughest of girls needs some friendly support every now and then.

Ponies never asked about Applejack's past as most don't dare prod at such a sensitive topic. Not many know, however, that Applejack is unwilling to delve into it as well. With Rainbow Dash and a whole day in front of her, she will finally unveil the hidden shades of her past and how she turned into the pony she was today.
