Rainbow splashed around in the little tub, halfheartedly bouncing her hooves across the surface of the liquid.
Applejack sat, watching. “Well?” she asked.
Rainbow looked up and frowned as she put her hooves back down. “I'm… I'm not sure,” she said hesitantly, “but I think I'm disappointed.”
“Disappointed?” Applejack grinned. “You work hard all week and finally get enough cider to take a bath in, something you've always wanted to do; and now you're disappointed?”
“Well, I kinda thought my wildest dreams would come true,” Rainbow said, lifting a hoof, “but instead, all I got was… sticky.”
Applejack pulled her hat down over her face to hide her smile. “Now that's a crying shame, Sugarcube,” she said.
“You're telling me,” Rainbow grumbled, splashing in the cider once more. “I feel so betrayed.”
Applejack stood up and stretched. “So, want me to run you an actual bath?”
“Actually, could you bring me a straw first?”
Applejack raised an eyebrow.
“No sense in letting all this cider go to waste, right?”
Applejack cracked a smile. “I guess; but you're drinking it on your own.”
Rainbow shrugged. “More for me.”
