Rainbow Dash and Applejack have a long, joyous, arduous relationship.
Applejack trotted alone through the woods leading into Ponyville.
It was a clear sky. Starlight peered down onto the Equestrian countryside, unhindered.
Applejack knew the route so well that she spent most of the trek with her eyes shut. A gust of autumn air would blow through her mane, and she'd lift her head to inhale the crispness of it all.
Leaves fluttered across the path, tickling her fetlocks.
Soon, the spicy aroma of apples mixed with the breeze.
Applejack opened her eyes to see the gates to her farmland welcoming her home.
Only when the farmhouse came into focus did she remember the crusty layer of sweat coating her figure. The Running of the Leaves toyed with her well-toned muscles. Suddenly the idea of a brisk warm shower beneath an open window tickled her mind, and she smiled... giggling into the breeze.
Something glinted in the moonlight.
She turned and looked, craning her neck.
Off on a hill... towards the southwest... overlooking the orchards...
...two polished stones flickered... and were dull once again.
"Hmmmmmmm..." She smiled into the starlight. Her eyes watered slightly. "Ain't no reason to be restless..." She tipped the brim of her hat. "...I've got awesome souls lookin' after me."
Another sigh... warm and content this time. Applejack eventually carried herself up onto the front porch. After a brief, meditative pause, she marched into the house, wiped her hooves cleaned... and washed up for a long, comfy night.

We're almost at the Gala, which is when, I presume, this arc will end and we'll jump back to where we left off at the end of Volume 1. As nice as it's been to see Applejack's past and get some insight into her character, I'm really excited to see the main storyline resume.

well.. we caught flashes of Dash's memories of their drunken rampage through Canterlot, maybe we'll get AJ's too.

Your new avatar caught me off guard, because that was my avatar for my first couple years on this site. (Edit: He changed it.)

like a blast from the past.
I'm just rolling through my folder looking for a good image that gives me a header the same shade of blue as her mane.
The Ghosts of the Leaves watch the land.
Waiting for their return.
You may not know, but there is also an awesome pegasus looking at you from afar all the time.
I imagine once we hit the Gala we'll start to cruise through the rest of Vol 1's events from Applejack's perspective. Little behind-the-scenes vignettes here and there. Pretty much the same as we have been doing. I'm interested to see how much of Rainbow's subterfuge filled life actually fooled Applejack, or if she secretly knew some of the stuff that was going on. Mostly I wonder how much Applejack knew or later figured out about Rainbow's involvement saving Apple Bloom's life. Remember that?

Every time I think I have Skirts and xis plans pegged, xe finds a way to twist it. I've been reading xis stuff for years ever since the Teen Titan era, and I just can't pin xim down. Nothing would surprise me at this point.
