[Fluttershy meekly followed, at once both relieved and terrified of what this all could mean. So when Rarity opens the door, she will see Applejack, with Fluttershy hiding behind her silently.]
[Upon hearing the knock on the door, Rarity slowly goes over to open it. She pauses once she reaches it, hesitating. This is going to tough; really tough--but things would be fine when it was over, right?
She inhales deeply, squeezing her eyes shut as she places her hand against the cold doorknob, focusing on that for a moment while she takes a moment to compose herself again. Releasing the breath, she turns the knob, opens her eyes and puts on the best smile that she can as the door opens.]
Applejack, Fluttershy... Thank you for coming. [She pulls open the door a bit wider and motions for them to enter. The tone of her voice is soft and even, but it's obvious that she is struggling to keep it that way.]
[Applejack does her best to match Rarity's smile with one of her own. Unfortunately, AJ's ever-present honesty leaves her with a less-than-earnest smile. This conversation was going to be awkward, and if she could prevent it --pretend it never happened, she would.]
Evenin', Rarity.
[She looks behind her at Fluttershy, lightly squeezing her hand to give her support, even if she's a little shaky, herself.]

*Hayate has largely recovered his cheer, and it shows as he can give the video a smile as he replies.*
--oh, hello, Rarity-san! I'm doing well! Much better than when we last spoke, largely in part thanks to everyone here... Oh, but what about you? Are you doing well?

Mm... *There's a very sincere smile plastered across his face.* I really do... I'm sure I would still be only just collecting myself if it wasn't for them.
*And Hayate can tell! In fact he quietly chuckles.*
You certainly look it! I'm glad to hear that, though.... You almost seem to sparkle when you're in good spirits.
