Maybe Applejack was reminded of something from the past. Maybe she secretly likes the idea of her girlfriend being her sugar-momma. Maybe Rarity is her sugar-momma, maybe she likes to be called that in private…. Maybe it’s a cute and innocent tease she encourages, or maybe she really is a giant mom-dom. Who knows? Either way, you get the impression that Applejack’s NEVER going to admit why such a random slip like this would happen.
