Rainbow Dash stirred fitfully as the bed shifted. Still soaring through the heights of dreamland, she rolled over and curled up next to the warmth beneath the covers. Her contentful rest jolted away from her with the crash of a chair against the floor. Startled, she bolted upright and rubbed her eyes blearily in the dim light.
āMighty sorry about that RD. Donāt let it bother you none and get yourself some more rest.ā
Stretching her limbs, Rainbow Dash yawned and looked out the window. The slightest hint of dawn trickling over the horizon in a thin gleaming line. Awake before dawn, some habits never change. Her eyes swept across the room and found Applejack sitting in front of the vanity with a mane-brush strapped to her hoof.
By now, the warmth of Applejackās body had long departed the blankets they shared moments earlier. With no further motivation to stay in bed, Rainbow eased herself out and touched her hooves to the cool wooden floor below. The chill bit through her body and drew an involuntary shiver from her wings.
Wordlessly, she padded over to Applejack and smiled at the reflection of her lifelong companion in the polished glass mirror. She was always amazed by how brilliantly Applejackās green eyes shone even in the dimmest of lightsāa shining beacon in her life. Not taking her eyes from their shared reflection, she reached forward and gripped Applejackās hoof within her own.
āLet me do it Applejack. I know how difficult it is for you.ā
A momentās hesitation, but it quickly passed. She gently eased the mane-brush from Applejackās hoof and strapped it to her own. Lovingly, she stroked the bristles through the golden mane she had grown hopelessly attached to. She watched in the mirror as the dull morning expression upon Applejackās face grew to a smile and she smiled back.
Mid-stroke, Applejackās hoof intercepted her own, and their wedding bands clinked melodiously against one another. Her face in the mirror twisted to a slight frown, but Applejackās expression did not change.
āRainbow... Why are you still here?ā
Her hoof fell languidly to her side.
āI canāt see none. I bumble around in our home like a lost filly.ā
Rainbow bit her lip as the polished glass captured the dimming of those eyes she loved so much. She wrapped her hooves around the chest of her beloved and nuzzled into the soft mane which hadnāt changed since the first day she tumbled into it. āBecause I made a promise. To be here for you, for better or worse, through sickness and health, until my last moment.ā
The tears formed at her own eyes, reflected plainly in the mirror, but Applejack couldnāt see them. āAnd, I intend to keep that promise.ā
āIām sorry RD.ā
A hoof pulled her down and brought her face to face with her love. No glass could capture the beauty she saw now. Tenderly, they came together and shared a kiss.
The kiss parted, and Applejack whispered to her: āI never should have forgot.ā
āIāll never stop reminding you.ā
