“AJ?”

Applejack lifted the brim of her hat on Rainbow’s head to get a look at her eyes. “Hm? Thought you were sleepin’.”

As if to punctuate her statement, Rainbow yawned widely and nestled her chin into Applejack’s chest, letting the hat settle back over her face. “I was.”

“What’s got ya up, then?”

“You know the other day when I found that key you lost?”

“‘Course I do.”

Rainbow Dash took a deep breath of the cooling afternoon air and flicked her tail, ridding it of a few leaves. “I was just wondering…”

“Yeah?”

“What was your dad like?”

Applejack tightened her hooves around Rainbow. “Uh, that’s a bit of a broad question, ain’t it?”

Rainbow shrugged. “I guess. I mean, you’ve met my parents, but I never got to know yours. You talk about your mom a bit, but I don’t think you’ve ever said anything about your dad.”

“I haven’t? Huh. Well, he was about the nicest stallion I’ve ever met. Kinda like if Big McIntosh talked more. Real strict when he needed to be, but never mean, and was always proud of his work. Loved the farm almost as much as he did us.”

“Sounds like somepony else I know,” said Rainbow, grinning.

Cuffing Rainbow’s ear playfully, Applejack continued, “And he made the best darn apple cider ya ever did taste. You think the cider I make is good… his was somethin’ else.”

At the mention of cider, Rainbow’s ears perked. “He made better cider?”

Applejack chuckled. “Hard to believe, ain’t it? Anyhow, I think ya really would’ve liked him.”

Rainbow nuzzled her way up Applejack’s neck and gave her a soft kiss, then yawned again. “Yeah, I think I would’ve.”
