    "Atchmon?"  She gently called his name, and spoke from the heart. "I'm sorry for the way I've been acting, it's- very unladylike of me... About what I said to you, I didn't really know you. You- You don't deserve that... nopony does. I didn't... understand. And I do appreciate everything you've done for me, you saved me, even though you had no reason to, and even though we're complete strangers. More than that, we're completely alien to each other." She paused for a moment trying to gauge his reaction. None came as he continued to face away from her, his ears never moved, making it impossible for Rarity to read him.  "Atchmon? I-I gave you a chance to prove yourself to me, and you have. Please, give me a chance to do the same. You were right about me, I can't survive out here on my own. Please, I need your help, and... As Princess, I'll do everything in my power to reward you for your assistance. Please, would you help me get home?"
