It's a new day and a five year old Buttercup is out in the pear orchard tending to the trees when she sees Bright Mac. She walks over and greets him.

"How are you doing? I haven't seen you lately," she says to him. 

"I'm good, thanks," he replies with a smile. 

A few moments later, her father notices this, picks her up and carries her away to her bedroom and tells her not to move. On her bed, she sits there, with tears in her eyes and begins to sing.

"Why can't we stay together? Why do we have to be torn apart? I'm in love with you an Apple. Them stopping me from seeing you is them trying to control my heart. They don't understand what true love is. They likely never will. Why can't we stay together? Someday, I'll find a way to make that change. Why do we have to be torn apart? Truly, I'm an Apple deep down inside my heart. I'm an Apple deep down inside my heart." She then breaks back into a flood of tears. All she wants is to be happy with the pony she loves, even if he is an Apple.
