“What?” Applejack said. “Are you crazy?! An’ Ah thought you said no more artificial meetin’’s anyway. An’, how would that even happen anyway?”

Applejack, about to go down the stairs, tripped and fell down them instead.

“Ow...” she said as if this wasn’t obvious.

Big Mac came out of his room, and subsequently to the top of the stairs, to see WTF was up.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah think Ah need to go to Zecora....”

“Wouldn’t it be easier if we went to the normal hospital?”

“No....”

“If you say so, I just don’t see how—”

“Zecora.”

And so Big Mac carried Applejack through the no longer considered arduous journey to Zecora.

Knock-knock!

“Who’s there?” Zecora said.

“It’s Big Mac.”

“What if you’re lying?”

“Eeyup.”

Zecora opened the door. “Oh. It is you.”

“Aren’t you supposed to be rhyming?”

“I notice you have Applejack. What’s she doing on your back?”

“She fell down the stairs and thinks she got hurt.”

“Ah did get hurt.”

“I’ll see what I can do.”

Two hours later!

“I really hate to be this curt, but I have to say that you’re not hurt.”

“What?!” Applejack said. “Are you sure?”

“I ran all the tests I know, so I’m afraid I can’t say no.”

“Know an’ no don’t rahme.”

“You asked if you’re hurt, and I said no. Now it’s time for you to go.”

“C’mon, AJ.”

“But Ah thought Ah was hurt.”

“Well, you weren’t, so come on.”

“Fahne....”

Apple Bloom knockèd on the door of the housebarn of Sweet Apple Acres of Ponyville, which is not to be confused with a similar orchard managed by different members of the Apple family also called Sweet Apple Acres. She waited a minute, then there was a minor flood and she waded a minute, but nobody answered.

“Hello?” Apple Bloom said into the door. “Anypony home?”

No answer, obviously.

“It’s Apple Bloom. Ah’m back from Near Sugarcube Corner.”

No answer, obviously.

“Anypony? Where are they?”

Apple Bloom tried to open the door, but it was locked.

“Maybe Ah can get in through the secret entrance,” she said, hoping that saying this would make a secret entrance exist.

Big Mac and Applejack went through the no longer considered arduous journey back to Sweet Apple Acres to see Apple Bloom sleeping outside the house.

“Er....” Applejack nudged Apple Bloom softly. “Apple Bloom? Wake up, Apple Bloom.” Apple Bloom didn’t wake up, and so Applejack nudged her slightly more firmly. “Wake up!”

Apple Bloom woke up, made an irritated, M-like sound, and opened her eyes, in that order.

“What are you doin’ out here?”

“Ah was at Near Sugarcube Corner, then Ah came back here but the door was locked....”

“Really? Sorry... you have the key, Big Mac?”

“I thought you had it.”

“Er... crap, did we leave it at Zecora’s?”

“Probably.”

Two hours later!

“We’re back,” Applejack said as if this was not readily apparent.

“Just open the door,” Apple Bloom said.

And so nothing happened for the rest of the day.
