Applejack boredly flipped through the channels.
"There's nothing good on today", Rainbow complained.
Applejack looked down at her. Rainbow was laying down, her head on Applejack's lap. The girls were having a lazy day.
"There's gotta be something on".
Applejack ran her fingers through Rainbow's hair. The swatted her hand away and sat up.
"You're gunna make me fall asleep. I'm gunna get a snack".
Rainbow got up and walked over to the small table. There was a tray of chocolate chip cookies. She reached for one. Suddenly a tune began to play from the tv. Rainbow froze. She knew that song. That show.
What's the story wishbone??. What's this you're dreaming up??.
Rainbow turned around. She looked at the screen. Applejack noticed and looked at her. Rainbow had an unreadable look on her face
Such a big imagination. From such a little pup.
Applejack was confused. What was wrong??. Was it the song??. Did Rainbow know this song??. This show??.
Suddenly she saw a little girl on the carpet. Applejack's eyes widened. The girl looked just like Rainbow. Wait a second. This was a vision she was having.
The little Rainbow Dash was beat up. She had bruises on her and a black eye, tears running down her face. The same song was playing on the tv.
What's the story wishbone??. Do you think it's worth a look??.
Little Rainbow Dash wiped her tears away. She sang along to the theme song and had a small smile on her face. The vision dissappeared. Applejack blinked. She looked at her Rainbow who was now walking over to the rug in front of the tv. Rainbow slowly sank to the floor.
It kinda seems familiar. Like a story from a book
Applejack quickly figured it out. This show was a comforter for Rainbow when was a child. Rainbow had a terribly abusive dad. Applejack knew her past. Now she knew the only thing that kept Rainbow happy after her mother's death. This show.
Rainbow brought her knees to her chest. She looked at the tv, mouthing the words, a distant look in her eyes.
Shake a leg now Wishbone. Let's wag another tale. Sniffin on adventure. With wishbone on the trail. Come on wishbone. What's the story wishbone??.
Applejack thought it looked interesting. She looked at Rainbow Dash. She thought that this would bring back painful memories but the smile on Rainbow's face that she hadn't seen before told her to keep it on.
What's the story wishbone??.
Applejack lowered herself onto the floor next to Rainbow Dash and wrapped a comforting arm around her waist. Rainbow laid her head on Applejack's shoulder. Applejack couldn't help but wonder.
What's the story wishbone??. All she knew was that any story, as long as it made Rainbow happy, would be a good story.

"Rainbow??".
Rainbow looked up from her book. She looked at Applejack who was standing at the doorway.
"Hey", she said.
Applejack had a confused look on her face.
"What's so speacial about Wishbone??".
Rainbow stared at the floor for s moment. She sighed and closed a book.
