I just want to say that I love everything about this.
This story alone has been such a success, but I hate to announce...
It will have to end soon, as I have many things to do.
Also, sorry for the late update.

"Ah couldn't get Big Mac ta get over here ta say that, so Ah did it for him." Applejack said bluntly, surprising her friends. "Not that Ah would think he'd be in the mood fer apologizin' anyways."
Applejack still stood in the middle of the doorway. She looked towards Fluttershy. "May Ah come in ta have a little talk?" Receiving a nod from the still teary-eyed mare, she walked forward and took a seat. "Ah suppose ya told Twilight yer side o' the story?"
"Yes." Twilight answered for her. "It sounds like she's been through a lot lately."
"Yeah," Applejack started. "Mac's been through a lot it seems too. He told all of us his side o' the story after early dinner. He didn't sound too happy 'bout losin' you, Fluttershy." Fluttershy looked up and stared hopefully into the eyes of the honest mare that told her that.
"R-really?" She felt as if she didn't even need to ask. Hearing something like that from a mare like her was proof enough. "I think.." She started. "I think I'll wait until tomorrow. Give him some time to think- no.. Give us both time to think about all of this. If I had to say so myself... I've never been so sure about anything in my life... But if he has different things to say.. I don't know what I'll do."
She couldn't believe the words she herself had said.
"Well," Applejack started, rising to her hooves. "Ah suppose Ah'd better get back to the farm." She gave one last look at her two friends, and walked out the door. Fluttershy and Twilight watched her leave. Fluttershy's tears had stopped by now, and she was feeling better about everything.
Twilight got to her hooves and gave Fluttershy one last hug. "I hope everything works out for you. Just come to me at my library, and ask me anything any time you need." She said proudly, smiling at her friend. Fluttershy got to her hooves as well, and walked with Twilight to the door.
"Thank you." That was all she needed to say. That was all she could say. She watched her friend leave, a bittersweet feeling crossing her heart. She didn't know whether to feel happy or to feel sad. She stayed there, standing at the door, just thinking about everything.

Applejack had finished her work at the farm. Exhausted, she walked back into the house and laid down for some rest. Her sister, Apple Bloom, walked in holding a drink. "Here ya go, sis. Ah saw how hard you were workin'." Apple Bloom sat the drink beside her sister.
Applejack looked up at her face, then at the drink. "Thanks, Apple Bloom." She said simply, taking a few long drinks of water.
"Is.." Apple Bloom started. "Is everything with Fluttershy alright?"
Applejack sighed. "Ah just don't know, AB." Applejack got to her hooves and walked up the stairs. "Big Mac?"
Apple Bloom could only just barely hear them talking. She could hear their voices, but they couldn't tell what they were saying exactly. She just sat still, staring at the floor and waiting for something fun to happen. Nothing exciting really happened for quite some time.

Fluttershy, on the other hoof, had a fairly busy day with her animals. By the end of everything, she was happy to get some sleep. Mind clearing, spirit resting sleep. Sleep that would help her move and think later in the next day.
