"Applejack! Look who's here!" Rainbow Dash knocked on the cowgirl's door.
"Oh, howdy RD!" Applejack greeted, "So, what's the occasion? More work in exchange for pie to give to your boyfriend?"
"Not exactly." Rainbow replied, before showing Applejack the homeless Caramel.
"Oh, you got a new boyfriend?! I thought you..." Applejack begun, before Rainbow interrupted.
"WHAT?! NO! Soarin's still my boyfriend, and this pony is just one of our friendly neighbourhood residents! He just got his house burnt by a fireball, which was part of an accident caused by a dragon and a Kirin's fight." Rainbow explained.
"Applejack, isn't it?" Caramel asked, " The last time we noticed each other was when I pulled your carriage to the Grand Galloping Gala."
"Yeah, and I remember the last time I talked to you or about you was during Winter Wrap Up when you kept losing our seeds!" Applejack angrily pointed out.
Every creature else was taken aback to see Applejack so mad, before she apologised, "So sorry, I was just...angry that you lost some precious seeds that time. I just don't want it happening ever again."
"Me neither. Making some creature upset is the last thing I ever wanted." Caramel responded.
"Oh, really?! If that was true, how do you explain that you keep getting angry with my family not being able to make enough cider to the point that you boo us?!" angrily reminded him.
"I'm so sorry about that too, Apple..." Caramel begun, before Apple Bloom showed up.
"What in tarnation is going on, here?" the yellow-coated pony asked.
"Apple Bloom! If you must know, a certain pony who has bad history with our family is here, and I don't like it!" Applejack answer angrily, shocking every creature.
"I thought you said that she's friendly!" Caramel turned to Rainbow, who could only let out a nervous chuckle as a response.
"Isn't he here to just buy some apples or our crops?" Apple Bloom asked, trying to calm down her big sister.
"Unfortunately, he lost his home and needs a place to stay," Rainbow explained, "And since AJ always has an extra bed for my sleepovers here, I figured to let Caramel..."
"STAY HERE?!" Applejack angrily asked, before complaining, "No way, RD! There's no way I'm letting a seed-loser threat live with me, nor my crops! Nor anywhere near my family!"
"What is all this ruckus about?!" Granny Smith, the famous elderly of the Apple Family asked, walking out of the farm.
"Granny!" Applejack called, before trotting to the old pony, "If you must know, a pony in Ponyville lost his home, and RD suggested letting him stay here with us!"
"Until his home is fixed, that is!" Caramel added, annoying Applejack even more.
"And he has a horrible history with the Apple Family, or mostly, us! I got angry with him for losing seeds during Winter Wrap Up, he booed us and kind of supported Flim and Flam during Cider Season when we can't make enough for every pony back there, and now he wants to stay with us?!" Applejack furiously explained.
"He doesn't have any other choice!" Rainbow clarified.
"Oh, really?! Why not ask every creature else in town? There are hundreds of other houses where you can choose from!" Applejack asked Rainbow and Caramel.
"AJ, not every creature has the friendly personality you have! That's why I thought that you..." Rainbow tried explaining to Applejack, but she refused to listen.
"CAN KEEP HIM?! As if! He's just going to lose all my precious, valuable seeds or boo my family for our failures or worse, both!" Applejack argued, before Granny Smith broke the fight.
"ENOUGH, every creature!" the elderly shouted, before turning to her granddaughter, "Applejack! Shame on you! We Apples are meant to be family, and willing to treat any creature, most likely, our costumers, like family! As in, be friendly towards them! This pony here may not be family, but he's still one of our customers, and most importantly, he isn't even Flim and Flam! Right now, he's lost his home and came here seeking help, we should help him, regardless of what he did."
"But...but..." Applejack protested, before furiously shouting, "FINE! Keep him all you want, Granny, but don't blame me when he lose our seeds, or hurt us with his booing, or both!"
The orange-coated pony left the scene, leaving the mares with Caramel, with Apple Bloom apologising to Caramel, "I'm so sorry about my big sister, she's just...concerned about our farm."
"I'm sorry too," Rainbow Dash added, "I told you that my Best Friend is friendly, which totally convinced you to come here, only to be so...un-welcomed."
"It's actually alright," Caramel replied, scratching his head, "Applejack actually has a point, I do have a bad history with you Apples, I can see why she's mad at me."
"It's okay, dear." Granny Smith approached the stallion, "Applejack's just taking farm duties really seriously. Probably because she's going to be Leader of the Apple Family so soon."
"Leader of the Family?" Caramel curiously asked.
"That's right." Granny Smith explained, "It is a tradition in our family to be led by the descendant of our first-ever leader, who was a mare. To respect her, we made it a rule for the Leader of the Sweet Apple Acres Farm, and Apple Family, to always be the eldest daughter or the eldest child of the leader who came before them, and pass them the ancient family-tradition scarf that she wore."
"And since my big sister is Granny's oldest daughter, she'll be the Leader of the Apple Family when Granny retires!" Apple Bloom explained.
"I actually wanted to pass my role to AJ around now," Granny Smith confessed, "But after seeing how she acted towards one of our customers, I figured that it has to wait; I can't leave the Apple Family to be led by an unforgiving Apple!"
"Calm down, Granny, I'm sure Applejack will become forgiving some day," Caramel assured.
From behind the fences, Applejack overheard every word from the conversation, and was not happy about it at all.
"UNFORGIVING?! I was just trying to save our family and farm! I can't believe Granny doesn't want me to lead all because of my behaviour towards a threat to our work! I have to show her some how that letting that pony stay is the biggest mistake she's ever made!" Applejack angrily said to herself, before walking away.
