It has been a few hours later. Zecora stared at the large bowl full of lettuce before her. It was a salad for her and Fluttershy to share, since Fluttershy can move anywhere in her tree form. She always knew that Fluttershy was mostly a vegetarian, so she thought of that and a salad was the only option she could think of. Her gaze on the food was being taking away when she heard a knock on the door. She turned to see Apple Bloom entering. "Ah, here's somepony I didn't assume.", she said. "Hello, Apple Bloom. What have you come here for, is there an issue? I need to know, mind you."

"Hi, Zecora.", Apple Bloom greeted. "I do kind of have an-" She spotted the salad behind the zebra. "My gosh, Zecora, what are you gonna do with all that lettuce?"

Zecora looked back at the salad. "I'm having a guest over for lunch.", she lied with a nervous smile. "So, I made that huge salad for us to have a big munch."

Apple Bloom raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "Ok then.", she chuckled awkwardly. "So, like I was saying, I do have some sort of issue. Have you seen Fluttershy?"

Zecora widened her eyes at the mention of Fluttershy. "Um, no, my dear.", she lied, with a spot of sweat rolling down the side of her head. "Why would you think she'd be here?"

"My family's heading out of town for a couple days to see Goldie Delicious, they said I can't come, because the activity they told me about is not foal-friendly.", Apple Bloom explained. "I'll be lonely if I stay at the farm all alone. So, I decided I would stay at Fluttershy's while they're away. When I arrived at her cottage, her animals were freaking out and she wasn't there. I told Twilight, and she thought she would help."

Zecora tapped her chin. "I can make a promise to you.", she suggested. "I can take her to you if she shows up to me out of the blue."

"Sounds good.", Apple Bloom chirped happily, accepting the idea. "Thank you, Zecora." She hugged the zebra and dashed out.

Zecora wiped the sweat off the side of her head in relief. She turned back to the salad and picked it up with her hooves. "It's ok, dear.", she whispered to herself, pretending to be speaking to Fluttershy. She put a hoof to her temple. "It's all in here."
