Later that night, Applejack stood out on her balcony, sighed sadly, and walked back to her bedroom. In the courtyard, AJ was pacing back and fourth in distress, Spike was trying to eat some gemstones up to no avail, and Discord and Rainbow Dash were playing chess together. AJ sighed sadly, and said "What am I gonna do? Applejack won't even let me talk to her." He took off his crown, and said "I should have known I couldn't pull off this stupid prince wish." "You're telling me." Spike said. "I can't even eat a gemstone!" "You're not helping, Spike!" AJ said. "Technically, you aren't either." Spike said. "So move." Discord said looking at the chess board. "Hmmm." Rainbow Dash said looking at her chess pieces. She took her queen, and knocked Discord's pawn piece off the board as she said "Checkmate!" "That's a good move." Discord said. He turned into Rodney Dangerfield, and said "I can't believe it. I'm loosing to a pony." AJ sighed, and said "Discord, I need help!" Discord turned into Jack Nicholson, and said All right, sparky, here's the deal. You wanna court the little mare, you gotta be a straight shooter, do ya got it?" "What?" AJ asked. Discord turned back to normal, and he wore a mortarboard. He made a blackboard, and pointed out the words written on it as he said "Tell he the..." He flipped the black, and pointed at the word written on it as he said "TRUTH!!!" "No way!" AJ said as he wiped the blackboard away with his crown. "If Applejack found out I really some crummy street-pony, she'd laugh at me." He placed the crown on his head which turned out to be Discord who turned into a lamp shade, and said "A mare appreciates a stallion who can make her laugh!"

AJ frowned as he pulled on the chain, turning off the light. Discord came out, holding AJ's real crown, and said "AJ, all joking aside, you really oughtta be yourself." AJ snatched his crown back from Discord, and said "Hey, that's the last thing I want to be!" He put the crown on his head, and said "Okay, I'm gonna go see her. I just...I gotta be smooth, cool, confident." He looked at Discord, and said "How do I look?" "Like a prince." Discord said sighing sadly. "You ready, Rainbow Dash?" AJ asked. Rainbow Dash sighed, and said "I'm ready." AJ then hopped on Rainbow Dash's cloud, and they fly up to the balcony. Inside the bedroom, Applejack sat down on her bed while sighing sadly. Fluttershy sat down next to her friend, and tried to comfort her. "Princess Applejack?" A voice asked. Applejack and Fluttershy looked up to see Prince Rarifruit standing on the edge of the balcony. "Who's there?" Applejack asked while Fluttershy got defensive. "It's me, Prince Rarifruit-." Prince Rarifruit tried to say, but he then cleared his throat to deepen his voice, and said "Prince Rarifruit!" Applejack poked her head out from the orange transparent curtains, and said "Ah do NOT want to see you!" As she went back in her bedroom, Prince Rarifruit tried to walk up to her, and said "No, no, please princess. Give me a chance." He backed up as Fluttershy advanced on him while growling in anger, and Applejack said "Just leave me alone!"

AJ went up on the edge of the balcony, trying to get away from Fluttershy as he said "Down miss." Rainbow Dash was watching from underneath the balcony as Discord went up to her, and said "So, how's our little beau doing?" "Not good." Rainbow Dash said. "He's failing out there!" Discord facepalmed himself at that statement. "Good pony, take off!" Prince Rarifruit said, using his crown to try and brush Fluttershy away. Applejack walked out to her balcony as Prince Rarifruit said "Down pony!" Feeling like she had seen the prince before, Applejack said "Wait, wait. Do Ah know you?" Fluttershy backed away from Prince Rarifruit who put the crown on his head, and said "Uh, no, no." Fluttershy stood next to Applejack who said "Ya'll remind me of somepony Ah met in the Ponyville Marketplace." "The Ponyville Marketplace?" AJ said as Discord who was disguised as a bee tried to get his friend's attention. "I have servants that go to the Ponyville Marketplace for me. Why, I even have servants who to go to the Ponyville Marketplace for my servants, so it couldn't have been me you met." Feeling disappointed, Applejack said "No, Ah guess not." Prince Rarifruit suddenly looked at Discord who said "Enough about you, Casanova. Talk about her! She's smart, fun, the mane, the eyes. Anything! Pick a feature." Prince Rarifruit cleared his throat, and said "Um, Princess Applejack? You're very..." "Wonderful, magnificent, glorious, punctual!" Discord said.

"Punctual!" Prince Rarifruit said. Applejack looked at the prince in shock, and said "Punctual?!" "Sorry." Discord said. "Uh-Uh, beautiful!" Prince Rarifruit said as he quickly corrected himself. Discord smiled, and said "Nice recovery." "Hmm. Ah'm rich too, you know." Applejack said with a smile as she advanced towards the prince. "Yeah." Prince Rarifruit said smiling. "The daughter of a ruler of Equestria." Applejack said. "I know." Prince Rarifruit said. As she got close to the prince who leaned against the edge of the balcony, Applejack said "A fine prize for any prince to marry." As she leaned on him, Prince Rarifruit said "Uh, right. Right. A prince like me." Discord buzzed in Prince Rarifruit's ear, and said "Warning! Warning!" "Right, a prince like you." Applejack said. She then got angry, and said "AND EVERY OTHER STUFFED SHIRT, SWAGGERING PEACOCK AH'VE MET!" As she placed the cape over Prince Rarifruit's face, Discord had his rear end on fire, and he wore goggles. He was crashing as he said "Mayday! Mayday!" As Prince Rarifruit recovered, Applejack said "Just go jump off a balcony!" "What?" Prince Rarifruit asked in shock. "Stop her! Stop her!" Discord said. "Want me to sting her?" Prince Rarifruit swated at Discord, and said "Buzz off!" "Okay, fine." Discord said. "But remember: Bee yourself." As Discord went back to his shrunken statue in the pocket of the disguised prince suit, Prince Rarifruit said "Yeah, right!"

Thinking that Prince Rarifruit was talking to her, Applejack looked at the prince, and said "WHAT?!?!" "Uh, you're right!" Prince Rarifruit said as Applejack looked at him in confusion. He sighed, and said "You aren't just some prize to be won. You should be free to make your own choice. I'll go now." As he stepped off the balcony, and started to fall, Applejack began to panic, and said "NO!" Prince Rarifruit poked his head up, and said "What? What?" "How-How are you doing that?" Applejack asked in amazement. Prince Rarifruit flew up to Applejack, and said "This is Rainbow Dash." "That's nice." Applejack said. "Yep. Rainbow Dash is my name. Don't wear it out." Rainbow Dash said with a smile. "You, uh, you don't want to go for a ride, do you?" Prince Rarifruit asked. "We could get out of the castle, see the world." "Is it safe?" Applejack asked. "Sure." Prince Rarifruit said. "Do you trust me?" Applejack looked at him because she heard that before, and said "What?" "Do you trust me?" Prince Rarifruit asked holding his hoof out for the princess. Applejack gave out a sly grin, and said "Yes." She took the princess hoof, and he pulled her onto Rainbow Dash's cloud. "Take us away." Prince Rarifruit said. "You got it!" Rainbow Dash said as she pushed her cloud to take Applejack to a whole new world.
