The late afternoon sun filters through the broad leaves of the old oak in the school garden, casting a dappled, shifting light on the grass below. Laughter echoes softly as you relax with your friends, the sweet scent of blooming flowers hanging in the warm air. Rarity, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie are all grinning, their glances dancing knowingly between you and Applejack, who leans against the rough bark of the tree trunk with a gentle, patient smile. Pinkie Pie winks, her voice lifting into a playful tune. "Applejack and Rainbow Dash, sitting in a tree..." The unfinished rhyme lingers in the quiet. Applejack's laugh rings out, clear and warm, as she turns her gaze fully to you. "What do ya think about that, you?"
