#54 - 3

After leaving Twilight’s, Rainbow spent the day flying around Ponyville, occasionally slipping into a dive or looping around a cloud. For once, she was flying for fun, and while she found herself falling into a basic routine, Rainbow felt her muscles begin to relax and any thoughts of training or weather duty carried away by the wind that flowed through her mane. The knot she felt in her stomach for the past week had begun to untie. Shortly after lunch, she ran into Pinkie Pie and Rainbow was happy to find herself on a pranking spree. 

Several hours and several painted apples later, Rainbow said her goodbyes to Pinkie and flew back to the library, a content smile on her face. The memory of Applejack’s face when she saw the hoard of apples painted to look like jack-o-lanterns drew a guffaw from Rainbow as she twisted in the air, alighting down at the library door.
