Applejack remained silent, staring off into space. Normally, she was so full of energy and ready to get her day started. Today was not one of those days. With a groan, she pulled the blankets over herself and whined into her pillow face first.
"I told you not to overwork yourself, and did you listen to me? No. You didn't." Rarity, her wife would say, filing her nails while sitting on her side of their bed.
"Can it." Applejack would respond in an exhausted tone of voice.
That earned an eyebrow raise from Rarity. Why was Applejack being so snappy?
"...Applejack." Rarity spoke quietly, gently pulling the blankets off AJ's head. "Let me look at you."
"No."
"Please? For me, Darling?"
"......" Reluctant, she sighed and turned to the element of generosity, avoiding eye contact.
Upon looking closer, Rarity gasped. "HAVE YOU BEEN TO BED?!"
A pathetic "...No..." came out of the farmgirl's mouth, her eyes were sunken in and bloodshot.
"APPLEJACK!" Rarity fussed, scolding her beloved for not sleeping. 'Here we go...' she'd think quietly to herself, listening to the drama queen.
"And another thing-" Blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!
Everything went black soon, Applejack falling asleep as Rarity kissed her head and stroked her wife's hair.
"Sleep well, Applejack... you stubborn thing, you.."
