Talk:Somepony to Watch Over Me/@comment-4861270-20140714200144

Applejack was only being protective to Apple Bloom because she loves her, and she's also very true to her family and friends. Apple Bloom was becoming over-confident believing she can totally take care of herself when she later put herself in danger by going past a forest and being in peril by a chimera. So I say Apple Bloom is the one that learned something the most in this episode, and Applejack didn't have to learn from anything except having the courage to let go of things and let others move forward.
