Tell Me Sweet Apple Lies

And then there were more Apples

Applejack was waving as two ponies were leaving her farm. She was a bit worried about Carrot but AJ knew the best cure for blues was a good friend and Carrot was being taken care off. She kept waving until she was sure the two were far enough and then she slipped quietly into the barn where her brother Big Mac was waiting for her.

Big Mac gave her an inquisitive look and AJ replied, “Yep, just as you said, Carrot was on the farm. Caught her and Berry Punch snooping around the barn like two foxes trying to get into a chicken coop. Now Ah know what you are thinking and don’t worry they don’t suspect nothin’.”

Applejack then placed her hoof on the chin and wondered loudly, “Although maybe Carrot was actually here looking at you and your big and strong body. Ah’m sure Granny Smith will be happy to hear that she will be seein’ grandfoal soon. And Apple Bloom will no longer be the youngest.”

Big Mac’s jaw dropped so hard that he nearly lost the balance and his pride. But most importantly the apples were safe, the apples were fresh and that was all that mattered.

Applejack laughed, “Oh relax, we ain’t gonna force ya to marry. Now back to business. Is our special friend here?”

Big Mac gave a disproving look to Applejack but then he simply said,“Eyup”.

Applejack walked deeper into the barn and took a seat at the negotiation table. A tradition old as the Apple clan itself was about to start. Applejack took her hat of, raised an eyebrow and spoke to the other party, “Now mister Seabreeze let’s talk about next apple season. Ah believe the standard agreement is still valid.”

Tiny breezie slightly raised his head and spoke back, "Ie, y cytundeb yn dal."
