Trust me, Applejack. You wouldn't like the old me, the one that came from Cloudsdale. The one who hated this town and everypony on it.

I still remember Fluttershy´s reaction when she saw me in the market. If you think she was scared of a dragon, you should have seen her then. You could tell the color of ehr coat had vanished. No wonders, considering how I treated her back then.

You know, there was a reason why me and GIlda hang out. It wasn't simply because we both liked to skip classes and take back to the teachers. No, we were both very angry. I´m sure Twilight will call it a phase or something, but truth is we were genuinely angry at everything and everyone. I was frustrated for not being top of the class, I was frustrated at my family, at my classmates. I was frustrated at everything and more than  one pony got a bloody snout because of my anger. Gilda was the only one who got away, mostly because she had always been bigger than me.

Yeah, I can tell you're not buying it. Well, remember a day, two years ago, when you ran into a thief in the farm? Remember a pegasus laying in a cloud, chewing in some apples she stole from your orchard? I bet you remember lassoing the cloud and pulling her down and giving her the lecture of her life. I remember that. I remember that angry freckled farmer yelling at me. I remember not being able to understand half of what she said because of that damn accent, and I remember blushing like an idiot while I looked at her face.

Yeah, that was me, AJ. Back in the days when I hated this mane and dyed it on dark colours. I don't blame you for not recognizing me, details have never been your strong suit. See? I just insulted you without even noticed it. I think that´s a bit of the old me peeking. Still, the old me would have insulted you right in the face. But I´m no longer like that.

You changed me, Applejack. After that day, is started following you around, watching you work at the farm or the market. It´s not creepy, I was looking for a fight! But every time I looked at you, you were either playing with your sister or being nice to your brother or polite with other ponies. You were always doing the right thing and everypony in town liked you. You can´t tell, right? You´re the most popular pony in town and you don't even realize it.

I tried to be more like you and this is as close I get. I brag because I want you to congratulate me. I pull dangerous stunts because I want to get your attention. I play pranks because I want to see you laugh. All I do, I do it for you. And you know what? I have to thank you because, by doing all that stuff just to like you, I made others like me too. I made friends with other ponies, I even managed to make Fluttershy start talking to me. And it´s all because of you, Applejack.

You made me a better pony and for that, I'll be always loyal to you.
