Twilight knocked on the barn door of Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack opened the door.
"Hey, Twilight." she said. "What brings you here?"
"Hey, Applejack. I just wanted to see how Applebloom was doing."
"Why, that's might kind of you, Twilight. But, she's asleep right now."
"No, I'm not." said Applebloom, exiting the hallway and walking up to the door. "Hey, Twilight."
Applejack stepped aside to let Twilight in.
"I'm heading of to bed." said Applejack, heading down the hallway. "Don't stay up to late, sugarcube."
"I won't." Applebloom said just as Applejack disappeared down the hall. She turned back to Twilight. "So, what brings you here?"
"Just checking up on you." answered Twilight. "How you been since... the incident?"
"Much better. Thanks for askin'. Though I do feel sorry for Pinkie."
"Really?" asked Twilight. "How so?"
"She used to be so fun and lovable." said Applebloom. "And she always threw the best parties. It's a tragedy what happened to her."
"Got that right." said Twilight. "I want the old Pinkie back."
"Wishful thinkin', Twilight." said Applebloom. Twilight said nothing. "So, how ya'll doin'?"
" Fluttershy's fine. Just a cut. Rarity's getting an operation to get a new horn. And Rainbow Dash..."
"What's wrong with Rainbow Dash?" asked Applebloom sympathetically.
Twilight sighed. "She suffered a lot while in captivity. She'll walk again but it's not certain how long it will take."
Applebloom looked down at the floor.
"My biggest regret." she said.
"Hey." said Twilight. "It's not your fault, remember? It's all Pinkie Pie's doing. She just corrupted you."
"But I still feel partly responsible."
"Cheer up." said Twilght. "I mean, after all, she's gone, right?" she asked, letting out a nervous chuckle.
"What's happened, Twi?"
"Nothing?"
"I'm young. Not stupid."
Twilight let out a sigh. "We didn't want to worry you or your family but..." Twilight paused. "Pinkie's escaped. Her last known location was the bay between Fillydeplhia and Canterlot."
"That's pretty close to us." said Applebloom.
"Don't worry." said Twilight. "I won't let her get you again."
Applebloom smiled. "Thank you kindly, Twilight."
"Well, it's getting late." said Twilight. "I'm going to bed."
"Good idea." said Applebloom. "I am a little tired."
