It was only for two more days. Applejack tried her best to keep that in mind as she walked alongside one of the forest's rivers. Fluttershy's trip wasn't even going to last a week. It was just four days away from the forest, and it was already half over. In just two days she would be returning home to Applejack. Fluttershy would be home, and she would see that nothing could beat Everfree.
But what if she didn't feel that way? What if Fluttershy realized that she was happier outside of the forest? She'd come back, for sure. Everfree would always be important to her, and it wasn't like she was just going to forget about the centuries she and Applejack had spent together after only a few days apart. But what if this was just the start of something bigger?

But it seemed Applejack wouldn't even be allowed to mope about in peace, as her reflection was being broken up by bubbles rising to the surface. At least Applejack had the good sense to back away from the water in time.
A colossal sea serpent breached the water's surface, drenching the riverfront as her lithe white form rose higher, towering above even the trees. The sunlight refracted off the water on her scales, causing them to shimmer as if covered in a million small diamonds. She jerked her head towards one side as she reached the peak of her ascent, causing her long purple mane to cascade along one side of her face.
