"Rainbow?"
"Yeah. It's me," Rainbow Dash replied.
"What're you doing here?" Applejack asked, perched high on a branch on a barren tree.
"Just checking in on you," Rainbow explained, flying in closer. "I haven't seen you around for a couple of nights, and I was worried. Have you been staying awake at night?"
"Huh?" Applejack arched her eyebrows, perplexed. "I haven't, no. What's that got to do with this though?"
"Odd. I guess I just wasn't finding you then," Rainbow said to herself. "I should ask Luna about it."
"Rainbow?" Applejack called. "You're not making much sense right now."
"Don't worry." Rainbow waved at her with a wing. "You'll forget about it. How are things going?"
"They've been going alright," Applejack replied. She looked down from her branch at the fields of apples sprouting from the ground. "How about you? Everything going alright?"
"Yeah, everything is well," said Rainbow. "Nice to know it's the same for you. We should hang out again soon. Wanna meet up this afternoon?"
Puzzled, Applejack looked at the Sun setting on the horizon. "Isn't it a little late for that?"
"Don't worry about it," Rainbow said. "I'll go check on Apple Bloom while I'm around here, I wonder what she's dreaming. See you soon." In an instant, she was gone.
Applejack calmly returned to looking at her fields of apples, like nothing had happened.
