It was a giant swarm of parasprites. AJ could buck and shout all she wanted, but even when she hit one there were tem more to fill its place. Every so often she would just try to run out of the mess, but she always ended up running in circles for some reason. I had the feeling that music wouldn’t effect them as they weren't exactly real, or at least didn't follow the normal rules of the creatures.
"So any ideas to get her out?" said Rarity
"I say you just let me rainboom them out of the way. That should work."
"I think we should leave them for now. We restore Applejack first, then get her out. That is if she can't get out on her own then."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Just a feeling." I then looked up at Dash. "And now that I think of it it's obvious enough how to do it."
"I love you varmints so close like this. Please just crowd all around me even more."
"Applejack. You're chasing Discord because you know he's the cause of all this madness. Because you want to help us stop him. Because you want to be there for us."
"Oh, I get it." Said Dash
"No I ain't. Discord is the one following me. Also I ain't done nothing to him, and you're wrong about mah reasons too."
"No I'm not. Applejack, what is going on? Why are you turning away from the truth? You never did before."
"I ain't doing nothing like that. And you better stop implying Discord showed me some vision about us not being friends no more. I couldn't stand that. I couldn't stand losing you all. Even Dash."
"Hey."
Her color was coming back even faster than Dash's. "I just couldn't take it. I love you like mah own kin. We been though so much. If you were gone. If you…"
Then Applejack was crying. All her color came rushing back but it didn't look like she'd be moving anytime soon. I was about to ask the girls if they any ideas since AJ clearly couldn't save herself right now. Then a large needle with a trail of yarn shot though the air. Then another, and another, and another, filing the sky around the parasprites. Then they struck, sailing though the wings and only the wings, and soon the air was filled with long multicolored chains of the cute blight. Then all the needles came together and spun into a ring like handle that soon was hovering in front of Dash.
"Rainbow, be a dear and take those ill mannered beasts someplace out of the way. Hanging off the town hall seems like a good place."
I sat there clapping my hooves. "Amazing Rarity. Not only a flawless summoning of materials, but absolutely perfect control."
"Thank you darling."
"Rarity."
"Yes Rainbow."
"If I ever accuse you or sewing of not being awesome, remind me of this moment."
Then I frowned "Rarity, don't you think that might of hurt them?"
"Such uncouth insects deserve not our pity Twilight. Also I doubt music would work this time. Now if you'll excuse me I have a pony to comfort."
Dash looped a hoof through the ring and took of with the actually somewhat festive parasprite garlands. I stood there a moment, then galloped over to the crying Applejack. Rarity and I soon had her in a group hug. Not long after Dash joined us. The tears faded quickly.
