    A crash sounded out over Sweet Apple Acres—an increasingly common occurrence, and one that Applejack knew all too well by now. Heaving a sigh, she stopped bucking her trees and trotted over to the side of her barn to find her pegasus sitting on the ground, rubbing her head. “Dash, when’ll ya learn that the side of the barn isn’t a cloud?”

Rainbow Dash cradled her head in her hooves and waited for the pain to subside. “Well... I—Applejack?”

Applejack picked Rainbow up off the ground and helped her steady herself. “Yeah?”

“I... I can’t see very well,” whispered Rainbow.

“Ya can’t... see?”

At this point, Rainbow Dash leaned her full weight against Applejack and pressed her face into the earth pony’s shoulder. “I can, just... everything’s fuzzy.”

“Oh, sugarcube...”

Rainbow kicked the ground. “Why do you think I’m not a Wonderbolt yet? And why do you think I crash so much? I’m waaaaay better than that... I just can’t see.” She sniffled and hugged Applejack closer. “They don’t want ponies like me.”

After hugging Rainbow for a few minutes, Applejack broke the hug and sat against the barn, beckoning Rainbow to join her, who crawled into her hooves, receiving a kiss on her forehead. “But what about Daring Do? Ya seem to be alright readin’ those.”

“I can, but I can only see clearly for a few hooves in front of me. After that...”

Applejack massaged deep into Rainbow’s back as she gave her girlfriend comforting kisses. “Well isn’t there some kind of fancy magic that can help with that?”

“No, I already asked Twilight about it. She said I could wear glasses.” Rainbow returned a more aggressive kiss. “I am not wearing glasses.”

Applejack chuckled at this and gave Rainbow a squeeze before frowning. “So what are ya gonna do?”

“I don’t really know. I think about it a lot. The Wonderbolts don’t mean everything to me. Not anymore. I have an amazingly awesome girlfriend who makes the best apples ever.”

“Rainbow, we don’t make apples, we harvest them.”

“Yeah, yeah. Details,” said Rainbow with a wave of her hoof. “Anyway, I like being here, too. It may not be the Wonderbolts, but I still have something to work for. I have a great job with the weather team, I have all our friends... I’m happy, AJ. And I don’t think I need more than that.”

Applejack smiled and pulled Rainbow into a deep kiss, letting it linger before finally pulling away. “You really surprise me sometimes, Rainbow, ya know that?”

“I try.”

A little more than a few kisses and the better part of an hour later, the couple stood up and trotted off into town towards Sugarcube Corner—something about baking a few apple pies to share with their friends. Something that Rainbow wouldn’t trade for the world.
