I have ponies who rely on my guidance and I can't be taking the blame for the mistakes of my friends. "You can tell me why yer lyin'" Applejack growled. "What in the hay are you talkin' about?! Ah'd never harm another creature and Ah certainly wouldn't put the lives of mah best friends at risk! And of course there was a potion! You're the one who gave it to me in the first place!" In your hysteria you took the lives of thirteen ponies and attempted to take mine and Rainbow Dash's lives as well." "Into what?" Applejack asked, a scowl on her face. Not only did you harm yourself but you harmed several others, turning your orchard into." she paused, contemplating how much she wanted to reveal at once. You were spouting nonsense and acting violently. you worked yourself too hard and it caused a mental break. "Applejack, I don't know what you're talking about. There was a slight tremor in her voice as if she were needlessly nervous to answer. Twilight pursed her lips and fidgeted on her hooves. Next thing Ah know Ah'm all wrapped up in guaze and bandages downin' pain pills like they're candy and tryin' to get over the fact that I look like I've been in some kind of terrible accident. Ah remember askin' you fer help and takin' that strange potion of yours but after that. do you remember?"Īpplejack frowned and slumped back onto the cot where she had been lying. Twilight hesitated before giving her answer. "Thank Celestia! Ah was beginnin' to think somepony forgot Ah was in here! What in the hay is goin' on?" "Hello Applejack." Twilight replied, her voice tinged with a professionalism that Applejack had only heard used in the presence of acquaintances or important guests. Applejack winced from the sudden brightness but her expression quickly turned to a smile. Somepony magicked the key into the lock and opened the cell door, entering without a word. Applejack's mind raced hoping at last she could learn what was going on. This time, however, the approaching pony came entirely too early. When sunlight passed over certain stones on the wall, Applejack knew to expect her daily meals it was the only change from the monotony of silence. Her only indication for the passing of time came from the light of a small window too far from her reach. Applejack lifted her head from the cot and looked expectantly towards the door. The dark stillness of the dungeon cell was broken by the sound of approaching hoofsteps.
