Why does Applejack act so protective around that stetson hat of hers, like an Ursa Major defending her cubs?

Rainbow Dash will learn why that hat is so valuable to her friend.

It’s true. Sometimes a tear’ll slip out… it’s bound to happen, sometimes… but for the most part, I cry on the inside.

But right now, as I watch my friends weeping in a huddle together... I'm not crying.

Not even on the inside.

Based on the episode, Tanks for the Memories.

Every pony deals with grief differently. Some face it head on, while others, well, others tend to push those feelings down, deep, deep down, and ignore them for most of the time. Especially if there's work to be done.

But sometimes, you just have to let them out.

After a long day of work, Applejack mourns her parents' passing.

Applejack goes to her usual spot on a rainy day, bringing her favorite photograph with her.

"Oh come on, Applejack! Just one trip around the clouds! One!"

It's an invitation that Applejack has heard countless times. However, no matter how often Rainbow Dash bugs her to experience an air ride, the farm filly flat out refuses.

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.

Twilight takes her time for an experiment that failed previously due to a disturbance.
This time she prepares, but she didn't expect a certain pegasus to 'visit'

This is what happens when I'm bored^^

Princess Twilight Sparkle has always liked to read. Much more than go outside that's for sure. But when her duties as a princess become more than just smiling and waving, the purple pony is having trouble finding time to just sit down and read. When her friend Rainbow Dash suggests a book to Twilight that she can't even read the title, Twilight refuses. Rainbow Dash is horror stuck by her friend. Twilight was the pony who showed Rainbow Dash the joys of reading, and Dash can't imagine what Twilight would be like without her books. But Rainbow Dash isn't giving up that easy! Now the athlete must show her friend that you can't judge a book by its cover, no matter how battered the book is.

Coming out with the news of their relationship to their parents and friends had been easy; now there was only one pony left to tell, and the little filly was not planning on making the process easy for the Princess of Friendship.

Twilight looks up to the stars one night, while she thinks on her freinds and their relationships. When she thinks on her own, she feels only a storm of chaos. Can she resolve her uncertainty with her love?
