Rainbow appears at Applejack's in the middle of the night with an odd request.
Originally written for a Quills and Sofas speedwriting contest with the theme "appledash" (romantic or platonic) and the prompt "the aftermath". It also doubles as a birthday gift for Luna! Happy birthday! Originally written in 75 minutes, this version has seen some expansion and editing. Special thanks to RedParade, applezombi, Holtinater, Decaf, applejackofalltrades, and Vis-a-Viscera for pre-reading during the contest!

Might wanna correct that. (EDIT: It's since been fixed.)
Wholly-unrelated grammatical error aside,this was a fun read! Had an interesting "vibe" to it, for lack of a better word.:)

Man. Autocorrect is never there when you need it, and always there when you don't.
Thanks, dude! I'm glad you enjoyed it
Ah, breakups. Dirty, painful, squablish, and altogether terrible. Thankfully, you always have someone who can help you during it.
These interactions are pitch perfect. This whole story was really good.
This was really good. I would definitely listen to an audio reading of it.
Very nice story.
Well, that was good! Rainbow's hurt and Applejack's frustration come through clearly, as does their friendship.
Boy that's kind of sad seeing rainbow so broken and despite the frustration and everything it's a good thing Applejack is there for her when she needed the most and I can relate to that kind of break up it hurts like hack but when you can feel the love or a person who you love doesn't love you back anymore it just really hurts
That was remarkably good
I'm glad to see that even after all my time off the platform, you're still releasing bangers. Keep up the good work!

Wow, blast from the past!! Welcome back, dude!
And thank you! You caught me on an abnormally good day as far as popularity lol
Spitfire? Really?
Uhg never mind
I came here looking for something to read
Looks like my already emotional state got worse.
Good story.
The shipping kinda blindsided me, but otherwise, this is pretty good.

Advice: Get over yourself.
And RD was asked to restore the hay bale the next day because she punched it out of whack.
Not bad, but you should delete the first line.
Had to do it.
This was so beautifully written, the dialogue is so natural and the whole things flows amazingly from one part to the next, very awesome job!
This is the kind of pick-me-up story that just gets me. Warm and fuzzy anger stories. The kind of interactions that bother to empathize with anger, sarcasm, and spurned characters and make for wholesome and positive ways to channel their aggression. A very nice way to go against the usual demonization of these traits into a very in-character piece. Hella fine stuff.
