"Rainbow".
Applejack took off running. She ran towards the woman. Dropping to her knees, she looked down at her. It was indeed Rainbow Dash. She was curled up on the floor. She didn't have a jacket on. She only had shorts and a short sleeved shirt. The woman was shivering like mad.
Applejack gently touched her arm. Rainbow let out a whimper and flinched.
She opened her eyes. She gasped inaudibly.
"A-Applejack??", she said.
Applejack smiled and nodded.
"Yeah. It's me, baby. It's me".
Rainbow struggled to sit up. Applejack could tell she was very weak. Applejack helped her sit up. Rainbow was stiff and wouldn't uncurl.
Applejack pulled her close, and wrapped her arms around her tightly. Rainbow laid her head on her.
"I-I can't b-believe you're here".
Applejack looked at her face. Rainbow sniffled and looked up at her.
"I was s-so s-s-scared. I've b-been here for months".
"Ah know", Applejack said. "Crystal told me".
Rainbow stared at her. She slowly reached a hand up and touched her face.
She smiled. "I can't b-believe you're here".
She sniffled.
Applejack sighed. "Crystal tricked me. Ah had no idea that you wasn't really you. Ah nearly married her yesterday".
Rainbow looked at her, confused.
"You didn't marry her??".
Applejack shook her head. "Somethin felt off. She wasn't actin' like you. Ah knew there was somethin' wrong. When I put the ring on her hand, her eyes changed colors. Ah knew it wasn't you. She revealed herself and told me everythin".
Applejack took her hand as she looked down at the woman in her arms.
"Ah still can't believe ah poured mah heart out ta you and it wasn't even you. Ah'm so sorry. Ah told her ah love her but it was meant fir you. It's you ah love".
Rainbow smiled. She coughed. She exhaled.
"I feel so weak", she said. "Crystal told me her plan".
She blinked back tears. "I'm dying".
Applejack didn't know what to say.
"Ah know. Which is why ah came as fast as ah could with the others. They're out dealin' with some things that got got in our way. Pinkie is at the door".
Rainbow nodded. She looked at Applejack. Tears sprang into her eyes.
"I don't wanna die, Applejack. I'm scared".
Applejack took her hand. "Me too. Ah wish there was a way ta save you".
Rainbow smiled. "If there is a way, you'll f-find it".
Applejack gave a firm nod. "You know ah will".
Applejack pulled Rainbow into a bear hug. She tried to keep her warm.
"I love you", Rainbow suddenly said.
"Ah love you too", AJ said. "Which is why ah wanted ta marry you".
Suddenly she remembered the ring. Applejack reached into her pocket. She took out Rainbow's ring and showed it to her. Rainbow smiled.
"It's beautiful", she said, her voice scratchy and quiet.
