One day, a teenage Apple Bloom was walking through the market when she same him, Strawberry Sunrise and Strawberry Swirl's little brother Strawbert. Her heart then begins thumping. "Could I, could I really love a Strawberry?" Apple Bloom questions. She shakes it off and runs towards Sweet Apple Acres.
A few minutes later, Apple Bloom busts through the door, breathing heavily.
"Hey sugar cube, where have you been?" asks Applejack.
"I was at the market, watching Strawberry Swirl's baby brother from behind the cider bins," says Apple Bloom.
"I told you not to spy on that boy, he's not a good pony, neither are his sisters," replies Applejack.
"Why don't you like the Strawberries?" asks Apple Bloom.
"Because they think apples are the dirt of the earth," replies Applejack scowling.
"Let me guess, the Honest Apple incident," replies Apple Bloom.
"Yep," replies Applejack sitting in the chair behind her.
"This feud is silly and you shouldn't indulge it, go see if you can make things right. If not for yourself, do it for me," Apple Bloom responds. Apple Bloom heads up the stairs to her bedroom. She just hopes she got through to her big sister.
In her bedroom, Apple Bloom reties the ribbon in her hair and puts on some nice apple cinnamon perfume. She then sneaks out the back and goes to meet Strawbert in the market.
"Psst, Strawbert," whispers Apple Bloom from behind the cider barrels, "Strawbert, come here." Strawbert follows the whispering and soon finds Apple Bloom.
"Bout time you showed up!" he replies with a smile. "You ready for our date." Apple Bloom nods. The two run off to the fair grounds where they enjoy sweets and games and carrots on a stick. The two smile and share a small kiss.
"If only our sisters could get along," sighs Apple Bloom.
"Yeah, if only," replies Strawbert rubbing his neck.
The two throw their sticks in the trash and head off to play ring toss. At the ring toss station, Apple Bloom beats Strawbert five rings to three. She smiles as she accepts her giant teddy bear. Strawbert just smiles at her. He's glad she's happy with him, even though he is a Strawberry.
Meanwhile, Applejack took her sister's advice and is over at the Strawberries house trying to apologize. "I'm sorry for saying strawberries were sickeningly tart and sour," says Applejack.
"No you're not, 'member, it was your honest opinion, you were being honest and we can tell that you're lying to us just so your sister can date our brother," reply the Strawberry twins in unison.
Applejack huffs then storms out of the Strawberries house. She did her best. All she can do now is hope Apple Bloom can somehow survive in the middle of this feud.
