The core of an apple.

First Morning.

All around the table, clear plates were seen and not with a speck or crumb of food could be seen, if there was one. "Thank you Granny Smith." Rainbow Dash then elbowed Scootaloo, shooting her a look.
"What? Oh, er, yeah, Thanks" The orange pegasi exclaimed sheepishly. Granny Smith smiled.

"No problem me dears. Just call me Granny. You've known me long enough." She smiled fondly,winking in Rainbow Dash' s direction. Rainbow Dash blushed lightly. Excusing herself, Rainbow mumbled something about unpacking. As she trotted down the hall, she began to wonder about her father. Did she need to be looked after? Rainbow Dash snorted. As if. She wasn't delicate and her father knew that. As a dedicated Wonderbolts fan who was most likely on her way to being one of the greatest wonderbolts in history (or so Rainbow Dash thought) she knew she was not a girly girly that would not fawn and swoon over the first stallion to walk past her. Rainbow pushed open the door and sighed, picking up her bags. As she unpacked them, Applejack entered and asked "ya ok Sugarcube?" Rainbow jumped slightly. Applejack then closed the door to give themselves some privacy.

"Yeah. Just a bit tired..." She trotted over to the room red and white wardrobe that was elegantly decorated with apples and swirls. Opening it, Rainbow Dash placed the items on her back in to it. "So, ya got any new meetin's with the Wonderbolts?" Applejack then asked after a moment. Rainbow' s mood perked up. Her head bobbed up and down as she nodded, excited. "You bet!" Then Rainbow Dash squealed gleefully. Applejack then raised an eyebrow. 'What in tarnation?' She thought to herself, amused.

"I've just remembered. It's scheduled for tuesday! In like two days! Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh!" Rainbow Dash then proceeded to bounce on the spot, repeating 'Ohmygosh' over and over again. Applejack chuckled.

"Ya done yet Sugarcube?" She joked. Rainbow Dash stopped, sheepishly grinning. She let out a nervous laugh.

"Yeah. I'm good." Rainbow said, rubbing the back of her head with her hoof, still nervously laughing. The pair then talked, giggling.
When sleepiness came over them, Rainbow Dash commented "I'm gonna hit the hay. What about you?"
Applejack yawned.

" S'pose so. Ah'm quite bushed to be honest." Rainbow Dash nodded and turned to her bed. It was then she noticed the door was open.

"Uh, Aj... Did ya leave the door open?"

"No why?" Applejack then noticed the door.

"Oh,probably Granny. Ya know wha' she's like." She then added. Rainbow Dash sighed, closing the door.

"I know. G'night AJ."

"Night Rainbow." The light clicked off as Rainbow Dash crawled under the covers.

A rooster crowed as the sun rose. Rainbow Dash groaned. "Morning already?"

"Yep." Came Applejacks reply.

"How are you up this early! Gimmie 10 more minutes." Rainbow Dash rolled over, shutting her eyes.

"C'mon Rainbow Dash. Breakfast wil be ready soon." Applejack laughed, nudging her friend. Rainbow Dash groaned and hid under the covers.

"But it's too early!" Applejack sighed.

"If you get up Ah'm sure Granny will let ya stretch your wings." Rainbow crawled out. Her face was one of ultimate displeasure. Her brow was furrowed in a deep frown and her eyes, although with a sleepy look, were glaring towards the rising Sun. Upon looking at the sky, her face slowly softened. The clouds were a calming, candyfloss shade with tinges of orange, golden yellows and pinks seeping through the cracks between each one. It was beautiful. How could Rainbow Dash resist flying amongst the early birds with the wind ruffling her mane, her wings soothed, the extravagant views laid down like a map and her heart pumping with the desire of flying she craved for? "Fine. But tomorrow I'm sleepin' in. Soarin' doesn't meet me until 10." Applejack chuckled, knowing that Rainbow would probably get up waaaay before 10 just to meet a Wonderbolt. "Whatever you say." Rainbow Dash was thankful for the fact she'd gotten to breakfast early, she would get to pick her own spot at the table. Rainbow immediately scooted next to Applejack and Granny Smith. "Glad ya could join us dear." Granny Smith said, sippng on some juice.

"It was no biggie. Is Scoots up yet? I could wake her if you-" Rainbow Dash was interrupted by a raised hoof, indicating her to be quiet.

"That's quite alright but Scootaloo got up a few minutes ago."

"And Big Mac?" Rainbow Dash secretly was slightly glad he wasn't present. Just being in same room with him was awkward.

Granny Smith smiled to herself before saying "Oh no,no, no. He told me he'd already had breakfast and he wanted to get a head start on chores. Such a very helpful young stallion." Rainbow Dash smiled weekly, trying not to frown. 'Think Dash think...' She mentally screamed to herself.

"Uh... Hey Granny, do ya mind if I stretch my wings for a while after breakfast? J-just for a little while..." Rainbow laughed nervously and grabbed her drink. Forcing her nervousness away, she downed her juice.

"Mmm, do you make this yourselves? It's really good" Rainbow Dash quickly changed the subject in order to focus her mind on one thing at a time. Applejack nodded.

"Big Mac does most of it!" Granny Smith hollered. Unbest, supposedly, to her, Big Mac was entering the room, his expression frozen with confusion.

"Uh.... eeyup?"
