Hello.
Rainbow Dash wasn’t much of a thinker, everyone knew that. But she was a reader, and sometimes what she read did make her ponder things that struck her.
Even so, it was odd for her to be thinking about a single word.
Hello was such a simple word, a way of greeting someone, with my others words that could be used. Hi, hallo, hi-ya. Even greetings and hey could work. Yet something about hello was special, though she just didn’t know why.
Maybe it was because it looked similar to ‘hell no’, maybe it was because it was the most common form of greetings. Or maybe she was just being silly...
Maybe it was the word that followed hello that made her so giddy, and not hello itself.
“Hello Grandma.”
Yes, that statement really did her happy when hearing it. Enough so she did mind Applejack shaking her head in amusement even as she stepped forwards to greet their grandfoals.
