The Pear in Me

Chapter 6-Ten Years Later

In the orchard, the two enjoy their picnic under the trees. A few minutes into the picnic, the two wish each other a happy anniversary of when Bright Mac first called Pear Butter, Buttercup. She then presents him a guitar and he tries to play. She then takes it and shows him how to play and sings him a song she wrote titled "You're in My Head Like a Catchy Song" which he absolutely loves. After the song draws to an end, Bright Mac covers her eyes with his hat and leads her to a stone where he's carved their cutie marks. As he lifts the hat and reveals the rock to her, Buttercup can't help but smile. She kisses him on the cheek as a thank you. The two then walk back into town and get a milkshake to share from Sugar Cube Corner.

After their little date, the two share a final kiss then part ways. Pear Butter returns to her father's farm and Bright Mac to his mother's. The two are madly in love but they always have to meet in secret. Pear Butter can't help but feel that there story is akin to Romeo and Juliet and indeed, she is right in more respects than others.

Back at the Apple Farm, Bright Mac is back to bucking the apples alongside his cousins Hay Bale and Sugar Apple. As he's bucking, Sugar Apple asks him a very touchy question. "Bright Mac, what is it with you and that Pear girl?" she asks.

"She's sweet, she's not like the rest of them, she's different, she's my angel, that's all you need to know," replies Bright Mac.

"Okay," replies Sugar Apple with a smile on her face. She then doesn't bring it up ever again and gets back to bucking her section.

A few hours later, the three go inside and join the rest of the family for dinner. It's the annual Apple family dinner with all the relatives in town to enjoy it. The only other time it's like this is Apple family reunions, so the three cousins are happy to see the rest of their kin. They then spend the rest of the evening sharing stories and telling jokes.

Meanwhile at the Pear family farm, Buttercup sits in her room and watches Bright Mac and his family from her window. She sighs, "if only we could be together with no fuss and no parents in the way." She then steps away from the window and goes downstairs to dinner with her family.
