Rocket Sprint mumbled softly to himself as he sat down in the grass under one of the many apple trees, looking up at the sky as the colors warmed as the sun set on the horizon. He let out a heavy-hearted sigh before stiffening as he heard hoofsteps approaching. He slowly looked up to find Big MacIntosh standing there looking at him with a concerned expression.

"Hi, Uncle Mac," Rocket muttered, looking back at the sky again.

In the silence, Big Mac watched him before smiling and leaning down to pick Rocket up by the scruff and toss him lightly in the air to catch him on top of his head comfortably. He trotted off through the trees, staying silent as he usually did. Rocket blinked, but didn't protest, looking out ahead before sighing again.

"I feel like a disappointment to mom," he finally said, swallowing a lump in his throat. "She doesn't seem too happy with me because I'm not a pegasus like her. I can't fly with her, and it feels like she sometimes wishes I were a pegasus so she could train with me and teach me how to be as fast as her in the sky…"

Big Mac didn't stop wandering through the rows of apple trees, listening attentively to his nephew spill his heart out.

"Do you think she hates me because I'm not-"

Before he could get his question out, Big Mac stopped short. "Nnnope."

"Really? She's not angry or upset?" Rocket asked, head tilting to one side as he peered down at his uncle.

"Nnnope," came his usual simple reply. But what came next made Rocket's ears twitch in surprise. "Both Rainbow Dash and Applejack love you unconditionally, no matter what you were born as. Boy, girl, pegasus, earth pony… it doesn't matter to them."

Tears pricked at Rocket's eyes and he smiled softly, nuzzling into Big Mac's mane. "Thanks, Uncle Mac."
