"You owe me nothing, no one offered me anything when I went to get them so I don't expect anything in return." Kieran smirks as he pats AppleJack on the shoulder.
"I'll pay ya back whether ya like it or not." AppleJack says with a pout.
"How is Apple Bloom? I haven't her since the incident." Kieran asks.
"She's still shook up, she's become really nervous about going anywhere." AppleJack sadly sighs.
"Want me to walk with the girls to school and pick them up? Ya know, until they get better?" Kieran asks.
"You've done enough for us Kieran, I don't feel I'd ever be able ta make it up to ya." AppleJack answers dismissively.
"I have a way you could pay me back." Kieran says as he squats down to AppleJack's height.
"Hmm?" AppleJack hums.
"You can pay me back by being my friend, that's enough payment for what I've done and everything I do in the future." Kieran smirks.
"Ya have yerself a deal." AppleJack smiles.
"You mind if I go see Apple Bloom? I wanna make sure she's doing well." Kieran asks.
"Go for it, she's in her bedroom, the last door upstairs." AppleJack explains.
Kieran nods his head before heading to Apple Bloom's bedroom.
*Knock* *knock*
"Come in." A quiet muffled voice whimpers.
Kieran then steps into her bedroom and sees Apple Bloom sat on her bed holding her pillow against her body.
"Are you okay?" Kieran asks.
"Kieran?" Apple Bloom asks with a hint of hope in her voice.
"Yeah, it's me." Kieran quietly answers as he steps up to Apple Bloom's bed.
Apple Bloom then peeks her head over the top of her pillow and looks at Kieran with both a look of excitement and sadness.
"What's wrong?" Kieran asks as he sits at the end of her bed.
"I'm really stressed, I can't stop being scared that he's gonna come back for me." Apple Bloom answers with a sniffle.
"I know a way that might help you calm down a bit." Kieran says as he pats his lap.
"You want me to sit on your lap?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Hmm? No, no. I was patting some dust from my hands that I got from your door handle. I wanted you to lay down on your stomach." Kieran explains.
"O-Okay." Apple Bloom mumbles nervously.
Apple Bloom pushes the pillow back into place before lying next to Kieran.
"I learnt how to give massages, I used to give them to an old friend of mine. I can give you one if you want, it'll make you feel less stressed." Kieran says with a calming smile.
"Okay." Apple Bloom mumbles her answer.
Kieran then smiles before starting to massage her. Apple Bloom starts purring happily as her stress is massaged out of her.
"This feels so good." Apple Bloom moans.
"I'm glad you think so." Kieran chuckles.
Apple Bloom lets out a yawn before nuzzling her mattress. Kieran smiles happily and starts to stroke her mane.
"Burn me alive, if you feel that's justified." Kieran sings to himself.
Kieran then starts to mumble the rest of the song to himself, with a sad smile on his face.
"Kieran?" Apple Bloom mumbles.
"Hmm?" Kieran mumbles.
"Can you walk me to school tomorrow? I'm scared..." Apple Bloom mumbles.
"I'll walk you there whenever you want." Kieran answers.
Apple Bloom turns her head to look at Kieran before turning her head back to the mattress.
"Whenever I want?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Yeah, whenever you want." Kieran answers with a chuckle.
"What if I asked you to do it everyday?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Then I'd do it everyday." Kieran smirks.
"Wouldn't it be annoying to have to do it everyday?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Not at all, I've done a lot more for friends, this is no problem at all." Kieran answers.
"Thanks Kieran, for being so nice to me." Apple Bloom mumbles.
"No need to thank me, you're my friend. I'd do anything for a friend." Kieran says as he pats Apple Blooms back.
Kieran then stands up off of the bed and stretches.
"If you ever need anything Apple Bloom then just ask, I'll be there, all you have to do is just say my name and no matter where you are I'll be there." Kieran says with a groan as he stretches his legs.
"Thanks Kieran." Apple Bloom says as she sits up on the bed.
"I'll be helping AppleJack with the farm for a few hours so if you need me I'll be with them." Kieran says as he leaves the room.
Apple Bloom jumps off of the bed and follows Kieran out of the room.
"Do you mind if I come with you?" Apple Bloom asks.
"Not at all." Kieran answers.
