‘Cmon!’ called Apple Rose, ‘come try it!’
Smith was hesitant. Lakes she liked, but this was strange and cold and big as sky. And tasted salty. Bleh.
‘Awww...pretty please?’
Gazing out at the white-dotted horizon, Smith worried the blue would swallow her up, like if she stopped sticking to the ground and just fell away... Apple Rose scrambled out the spray and up the sand, shaking her mane all over the place like a wet dog. Her hoof reached out to tap Smith’s nose. ‘Race ya!’
She shrugged when Smith said no, and ran back down to the water, shrieking.

and of course "Race ya!" belongs to Pearly, but Apple Rose doesn't know that at all. or is it more that fear of being swallowed up by strange and endless blue? and here Apple Rose looks like the one who is young and innocent as compared to Smith, setting up her role as the older sister later, if i'm remembering right? augh, the ocean really does feel like a metaphor for something, but i'm not sure what. love just being here, though
