"Do... do ah know you?" she began, her voice filtering through the tinny earpieces of Lisa's headset, "You remind me of somepony."

"Twilight," Lisa nodded, "I am-- was Twilight."

"Don't know her. If ya came for some apples, Ah'll be happy ta sell ya some."

Lisa's expression dropped, uncertainty taking hold in its place.

"Y-you don't remember? Twilight Sparkle, your friend! She... she--"

"Ah'll have ta ask ya to leave, sugarcube," Applejack deadpanned, turning away, "If you're gonna keep standin' there, blubberin' about this Twilight lass, then Ah'd might as well get back ta work."

"But..." Lisa raised a hand, reaching for the mare. "But don't you remember?"

Applejack didn't respond as she walked further into the orchard.

"Applejack!"

No response.

Lisa set down her controller, pulling off her headset. On-screen, the simulation urged her to reposition her headset in a simple white-on-black text.

They... they don't remember Twilight? Lisa's thoughts raced, Even I don't remember my life as her anymore...

She stared at her headset, then back to the screen. Her eyes narrowed as she set her mind on a decision.

There's only one way to find out.

Determined, she placed the headset back over her eyes, once more taking control of her character.

"Wait!" she shouted, setting off into the dense orchard, "Applejack, wait up! I have something to ask you!"
