...You still haven't given me a tour yet, y'know.
Is there anything in particular you'd like to see?
Whatever you think is interestin'.
Have you seen the Burned Tower?
['sup, AJ? Sometime while they're packing up, Dash is gonna go looking for ya, arms full of... various things. Oh, Dash.]
Can't say I have. Why's it burned?
[AJ is chilling in her room at the Inn, trying to cram as much as she can into her bag. She turns and smiles at Dash as she enters the room.]
Howdy, Rainbow. You gettin' everything packed okay?
Howdy, Rainbow. You gettin' everything packed okay?
Yep. Don't wanna wait 'til the last minute.
[Being the lover of... speed and all that.]
[Being the lover of... speed and all that.]
I hear ya. Goldenrod's a week-long trip. The sooner we leave, the sooner we get there.
[She grunts, trying to force more supplies into a bag that's already stuffed beyond its limit.]

I just wish my Pokémon were big enough to carry us around. Right now, they're just a bunch of pipsqueaks.
[Video - set after the commercial disaster.]
[The feed is dark. Wherever AJ is, the lights are off.]
Y-yeah. I'm... in our room, sugarcube.
Y-yeah. I'm... in our room, sugarcube.
[Moments later, she opens the door, peeking her head in.]
[Applejack is laying in bed, facing away from the door. She turns slowly, peeking under her hat with one eye.]
...Evenin', darlin'
...Evenin', darlin'
[She nods, and then walks to the bed. She sits on the bed, and tenderly pets Applejack's arm.]
[She wiggles a bit closer, resting her head in Fluttershy's lap.]
...She should be sorry; all the rude things she said. An' in front of Twilight, of all folks.

[she lightly takes off the hat, and pets Applejack's hair.]
[overly dramatic? hammy beyond the pork gods? the drama queen of all ponyhood?]
[overly dramatic? hammy beyond the pork gods? the drama queen of all ponyhood?]
[She sighs softly.]
...I reckon you're right...
...I reckon you're right...
You're doin' that...? She's doin' that?
[She taps her chin, looking down at the bed.]
I didn't know 'bout that...
[She taps her chin, looking down at the bed.]
I didn't know 'bout that...
[she lightly takes AJ's hand, and squeezes it.]
I swear, darlin', you're as sweet as it gets.
[She squeezes Fluttershy's hand right back.]
...But I don't think I'll be makin' any commercials with Rarity any time soon.
[With her free hand, she reaches up under the blanket, groaning as she fusses with her feet, before coming up with a pair of high heels and tossing them on the floor.]
...How in the hay is a gal supposed t'walk in those things?
[She squeezes Fluttershy's hand right back.]

[She watches Applejack's feet, a little worried.]
[She begins crawling on the bed, trying to reach them for a good old massage.]
