Sooooo... Did they forget that the Equestrian Crown owes them multiple debts of gratitude and they could just ask the ruling princess(es) for disaster relief aid?
(Yes, I know it would totally kill all sense of drama and tension if they did that. I'm just being a smartass
)
Overall I enjoyed the story. Well done and thank you for writing it!

Haha you're right! But imagine how Applejack would feel taking money from the Princesses
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed.
Ah yes, a familiar name. Hi there again!
While reading through the comments, I stumbled over Fable Caster's and thought to myself: That's actually a good point. Adding to that - wasn't there, cononically introduced, a potion that grew plants? But then again, couldn't Twilight just... magic' the barn back in place? As Fable pointed out himself - the story is better with these elements absent, but it's funny thinking about it anyway.
It was a lovely story. I appreciate AJ having grown enough to not get mad at RD. I really expected her to blow up at that point and she just... didn't. Nice change of pace.
Thank you.

Haha nice to see you again. thanks for the comment. Y’all are right about all that, I guess I just honestly didnt even think about it when I wrote it :P

To be honest, there's always so much stuff to keep track of... and as a writer, you just have to make decisions. What to include and what to ignore. There's certain... concessions an author has to make for the sake of a stories' flow and pacing and dramatics. I can't tell you how many times I read some fine AppleDash-story, only to wonder way after I enjoyed it 'hey, wait a second, why weren't Winona or Tank mentioned? Like... ever?' Simple answer is: Because there wasn't enough space for them. It would've hurt the story to include them.
Adding to that... these gaps leave room for speculation and interpretation. It's basically what the fandom is about and uses all the time anyway. 'They never told us why princess Celestia, apparently capable of banning her crazed sister to the moon and transforming Discord into stone, failed so utterly against queen Chrysalis!' And eventually, because there's an obvious gap there, fans began speculating. And so many wonderful ideas and stories were born through that.
So, really, pointing out stuff like that isn't meant as critique. At least I didn't intend it as such. It's just... funny thoughts. And maybe a little nudge for everyone willing to do so to fill in those gaps themselves.

Hah yeah no I completely understand what you mean! It is tough to try to consider what to keep in and what not to keep in. I know because I often have to ignore some minor details, or pick and choose what to include like you said. Though I’m sure that here I just wasn’t thinking about it haha. But again, thank you for the comment.
