"I know, I know, another test..." Applejack rolls her eyes, teasing Rainbow Dash as she crosses her arms with a smirk and leans gently off to one side. "It's an easy one, sugarcube. And if ya want to be mah partner like last year, promise me you'll at least read through the chapter. We ain't gonna have a repeat of last year with the whole missin' eyebrows bit right before our annual school picture." She chuckles, teasing again as she playfully slugs Dash across the shoulder.

"Naw, it won't be as crazy as the last time, I'd reckon. Heck, I'll be helpin' with all the cookouts this time. It'll be smooooth sailin'."

Applejack pauses as Foxtrot approaches the group. A fresh face, but certainly more than welcome. She nods and tips her hat in greeting, letting Rainbow Dash answer his question. The mention of the dock made her frown a bit, almost instinctively reaching up to touch her own gemstone just to make sure it was still there. "Three times is two times too many. Of course, there ain't much you can do about a wayward boat and... explody... sprinkles." She shakes her head, dismissing her own thoughts with a shrug. "That just ain't natural."
