The orange mare gave a laugh in reply as Rainbow Dash simply cocked her head to the left, bathed in confusion. Staring blankly at this strange mare, she realized what this had to be. Leaping up and trapping the 'Applejack' in between her hooves, anger consumed the grey mare as she forced her down. 

"You wont fool me, Changeling!" She hissed, barely regarding the fact a certain filly sat beside her, watching the event with a smirk on her face. 'Applejack's' deep red eyes reminded her of crimson liquid recently discovered and named blood. 'Applejack's' veins began to show by her forehead as she strained. Rainbow's wing flared as she continued to shout loudly. When her fury died down, she managed to speak clearly again, "You got her eyes wrong, Changeling."

"... Ah' beg y'er pardon?"

"Applejack's eyes are bright green, not red."

"Jus' what in tarnation are y'e goin' on about?"

"...Who are you?"

"Me? Well, ah'm sure ah'm Applejack." The young earth pony lifted her head with pride, beaming as if she were proud to hold the name of an Apple. She turned to see what looked like Applebloom, who's mane was a familiar shade of hot pink, but slowly gave of a gradient of black as it reached the ends of her braid. A tiny ribbon held the braid together, but her favorite pink bows did not rest on her head. Applejack clutched her hat as she coughed slightly to regain Rainbow's attention. Quickly, she asked, "and you are?"

"Rainbow Dash." There was a silence as the room was drained of it's sounds. Applejack and Applebloom gaped in bewilderment before Rainbow curiously asked why.

"Well, suga' cube, you're... Ah' dunno how to put this but, y'er..." Her voice faded as it continued, and Applejack bent down to whisper something to her sister, whom darted out the door as if she were being chased, "Well, y'er nothin'. Nothin' at all, no sir. Ah' ain't a liar, and ah' said nothin'." Applejack's eyes stared at anything and everything but Rainbow Dash, who just rolled her eyes in frustration.

"You know what? Forget it, i'm going out for a walk-"

"NO! Ah' mean... no, wont yah' stay for some apple pie?" She awkwardly spoke, her mouth breaking into a twisted smile. Rainbow tried to decline, claiming she wasn't hungry, but her stomach betrayed her. 

"Fine."
