[She just smiles reassuringly at that admission.]
Never worry, AJ. That's what I'm here for.

Honestly? I'm not really sure. It almost doesn't seem... real, that she's gone. Which I think is a sign of shock. Not that that would be all that surprising.
Or two.
[Her laugh is weak, but then, so was the joke.]
Even if she does come back... and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if she does, but even so, that's still almost two years of memories that I don't think she'll ever have again.

... We've all been here before our current times, AJ. Even I am... missing memories. I don't know how many, but... I was here for that one month when you were, and once before close to when Fluttershy arrived, but I don't remember any of it. It's just that you're the only one whose memories have been so... important.
Don't be so sure that they don't matter. Even if she never remembers what you had...Don't you think you at least owe it to her to remember why and how you fell in love with her?
[ This is a colossal waste of time.
That's Rarity's opinion on what AJ has convinced her to do today, anyway. But she did agree, so on the morning of July first, she rouses herself, cleans herself up, puts on some comfortable clothing (a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, remarkably restrained for her, to offset the hot weather), scoops up her Pokeballs, and hikes out to meet AJ.
She just hopes she'll find some way to make this interesting. ]

[Not far from the inn, Applejack is waiting for her. She's already begun stretching. Surprisingly, her outfit is similar to Rarity's. Unsurprisingly, it isn't much different from what she usually wears. Upon hearing footsteps, AJ turns around to greet her.]
Glad t'see you decided t'show up.

I wouldn't miss it! A lady is never late. [ She's a little late, from her long shower, but- details! ]
Running? We're going to be running?
[ Why does training have to be so strenuous? ]
[ Why does training have to be so strenuous? ]
I think you're arguing semantics now.
I'll get all sweaty!
I'll get all sweaty!
It's all right for you. You're used to this! [ But she sets down her things anyway and attempts to stretch in the same way AJ's stretching. She can't go nearly as far. ]
Is this right?
Is this right?
Oh! [ She grits her teeth from the unused muscle stretching, but in an odd way it feels good. ]
[ Huff! ] I think I've had enough of stretching. [ She rises up, conscious of AJ's hand on her back. ]
