When one pony loves another pony, but that pony is smitten with another pony, and yet that pony is enamored with yet another pony, who's head over heels for a different pony, who can't wait to express her feelings to her own favorite pony, who worships the earth that the first pony walks on, then what is the pony to say to the other pony that is different from what the pony wishes to confess to the other pony who is longing after another pony who can't wait to share hooves with another pony who is infatuated with another pony who is too flustered to say anything to the first pony to begin with?

Then one afternoon, on a day when Applejack is strangely quiet and distant, she suddenly agrees to Rainbow Dash's persistent request. The pegasus happily oblidges, not knowing what has truly motivated Applejack to give in, nor the fact that--more than anything--Applejack could really use a good friend right about now.
