and Sweetie worked me over, made me feel all better again, so ah didn’t have to make him mount me at all.”

“How’d she do that?” Applejack said incredulously. “Unless you’re telling me a filly like <i>Sweetie Belle</i> is a colt, too?”

“She don’t need to be a colt!” Apple Bloom said, “She just licked me on my b-bottom filly parts, until I was all better again!”

Applejack managed not to snicker at that too much. “Apple Bloom, what good would licking there do?” she said chidingly. “Cleanin’ it off won’t help, you’ll just make more. It’s the feeling more than how slimy you are, the urge won’t go away just from licking!”

Apple Bloom blinked at her. “Sure it will,” she said plainly. “It did!”

“Now ah know you’re funnin’ me,” Applejack said with a toss of her mane.
