It's a new day and Lil Mack is foalsitting his sister Joy while his mom is at a hair appointment and his father is out singing with the Ponytones. As he watches her play with her toys, he can't help but groan. He hates foalsitting his sister, but he knows it makes his parents happy, so he does it anyway. 

A few hours later, Lil Mack picks up Joy and puts her in the high chair and feeds her her favorite treat: mashed carrots. She downs every bit of them and then the two get back to playing for several hours on end before they are interrupted by a ring at the doorbell. It's Lil Mack's friends asking if he wants to come play frisbee in the park with him. He then grabs Joy off the floor, puts her in the baby pouch, throws her onto his back, and follows his friends to the park. At least, he can still go to the park while watching his sister at the same time. That's definitely one perk. 

At the park, Lil Mack plays frisbee with the rest of his friend with the exception of Angelshy, who happily plays with little Joy for him. As he tosses the disk, Lil Mack laughs and smiles. He's so glad to have this time to himself. Meanwhile, on the bench, Angelshy tickles a happy, little Joy making her laugh. She then grabs the little filly and tosses her in the air and catches her over and over causing her to laugh even more. A few minutes later, Angelshy turns around and begins to sing a song to the little filly in her hooves, soon getting little Joy to fall fast asleep. As Joy sleeps, Angelshy keeps a close eye on her. Meanwhile, in the field, Lil Mack tosses the frisbee to Soara, who catches it with a grin and then tosses it to Gold Medal. Everything is truly perfect. 

A few hours later, Lil Mack picks up a still fast asleep Joy and returns home but not before giving his friends a great big hug. "I had a great time with you today," he says, "we need to do this more often!" 

"We had a fun time too," reply his friends as they hug him back, smiles on their faces. They then wave him off as he heads back towards home. A few minutes later back at the farm, Lil Mack walks Joy into the nursery and puts her in her crib and covers her up and then closes the door quietly behind him. He then goes to the back orchard and looks up at the Apple Pear tree and smiles. A few hours later, he is greeted there by his mother, who embraces him in a hug.

"Thanks for foalsitting your sister for me," says Cheerilee with a smile. 

"No problem, I'd do anything for you, mom," replies Lil Mack with a smile. It's the truth too. He'd do anything to please his parents. Cheerilee smiles and embraces him in a hug. The two then sit under the tree for another half hour before returning to the farmhouse for dinner. The only pony missing from dinner is Big Mack since the Ponytones charity concert ran long. Alas, Cheerilee expected that, so she put Big Mack's portion in the fridge. She then pushes away from the table and goes to the bedroom to read. Right now, all she wants is to be alone to wait patiently for Big Mack to return home.
