Applejack accompanies Rarity on a train ride. But the strange circumstances and the forgotten passengers will note that Applejack shouldn't be on board. Partially based on 'Night on the Galactic Railroad.'

You'd be surprised by how much can happen in nine days. Breaking your back on a regular basis to save your family's livelihood, falling in love only to have your heart trampled, and fighting an evil robot that threatens to destroy Equestria are just a few of those things. Never mind the fact that Ponyville is facing racial disharmony due to a Pegasus-led workers' strike at the weather factory in Cloudsdale, and Celestia can't be bothered to interfere when she's dealing with another crisis altogether. Meanwhile, Applejack wants nothing more than to stay relatively removed from the madness, but everypony knows that's never how it actually plays out.

Does the universe really want you and your soul mate to be together?

In Applejack and Rarity’s case – yes it does.

They may have only known each other for a short while, but in reality their relationship goes back years, and they don’t even know it! Stretching through their lives, they find that one recurring trend – each other.

But, although they always part, it can be certain that they’ll always … meet again.
