"Why didn't you tell me how amazing this is?! Genealogy is better than cotton candy on top of a fountain of chocolate!" Pinkie set the old book down with a thud. "You'll never believe who it says I'm related to!"
Before she could run away, Twilight froze her with a short burst of magic. "Hold it right there, Pinkie. Let me take a look."
Pinkie jittered in place as Twilight did just that.
"There." Twilight stabbed the book with her hoof, pulling Pinkie over. "You see way back on this step? I bet you thought it said 'Granny Pie', but even though it's a bit smudged, you can still see it says 'Country Pie'. Look at the number of letters."
Staring at it, Pinkie slouched. "Oh."
"Don't worry, Applejack is still your friend, and all her family members are your friends too. They don't have to be your family."
Pinkie smiled wide. "You mean, I can still help Applejack bake a pie?"
Twilight nodded.
"Woohoo!"
