"Why do I gotta change into this boring outfit?" She was referring to her brown cowboy boots, an old pair of dark blue jeans, a green button-up shirt, and a brown leather vest, along with her hat and a special golden belt buckle that had an apple on it. It had been her favorite outfit before the accident.
"Well, just because. You don't mind, do you?" Rainbow was helping Applejack fasten her belt.
"No, I like this outfit. It's just not really good for sleep. I'm going to sleep now, right?" She looked at her friend and, for a second, Rainbow Dash saw the old Applejack in there.
"Well, yes.. but this is a different kind of sleep. A better kind. A more peaceful kind.."
"Okay. Cool! Now we gotta walk out to the middle of the orchird? Why?" She asked as she began to walk downstairs.
"You'll see, buddy, just come with me.."
A few minutes later they were in a part of the orchird that Applejack had always gone when she wanted peace, or to be alone. She had often sat and slept under a nearby tree.
"Okay, I need you to take your hat off and close your eyes.". Applejack did as she was told.
"Okay.." Rainbow was fighting back her tears. There would be plenty of time for crying in a minute. "Now.. count to three." As she said this, she pulled out a small black revolver and placed a bullet in it.
"Alright, Rainbow. What then?"
"Well.. you get to go on a vacation! Yeah, a really special vacation.."
"Neat! Are you coming with me?" Applejack smiled but her eyes remained closed.
"No, buddy.. I can't come with you. You have to go by yourself, okay?" Now that Applejack's eyes were closed, Rainbow was free to let her tears fall as long as her voice didn't crack.
"Alrighty then! One.."
Rainbow Dash put the gun to the back of Applejack's head.
"...Two..."
Rainbow reached forward with her thumb and pulled the hammer back, causing a dull click.
"...Three!"
Applejack heard a sound like thunder. Then she heard nothing.
