She galloped through the woods with her green mane and tail streaming out behind her. He caught enticing glimpses as she ran, but the trees were too close together for him to get a good view of her. The trees also made it difficult for him to catch her, despite his longer legs. When he called out for her to wait, she only laughed. He loved the sound of her laugh.

Flam woke with a smile as her laugh faded. He had been having the dream more and more frequently lately. He'd had it for the last three nights. The dreams (and daydreams) were the reason that he had insisted that they return to Applewood. He needed to see her again.
With her image still running through his thoughts, Flam got up and left the tent. He found Flim counting bottles of their "miracle" tonic. If they needed to make more (and Flam knew that they were running a little low), then they were going to have to buy more apples. Luckily, apples were usually in plentiful supply in Applewood. It would give him an excuse to talk to her, since she ran the Apple family orchard here.
As much as he longed to tell her how he felt, Flam knew that it was never meant to be. She and her family, the Apples, had proven to consistently be the biggest impediment to the Flim Flam Brothers' success. There were branches of the Apple family all over Equestria and it seemed like every time Flim and Flam encountered them, their schemes fell apart. Even if he could have confided in his brother, he knew that Apple Fritter would never return his love. She had been one of their staunchest enemies. He would have to content himself with watching her when he could and chasing her in his dreams.
His love might be entirely hopeless, but at least today he might see her again. With one last sigh, Flam straightened his favorite tie and headed out to start the day.
