Many hours pass and Pinkie now was just putting the final touches on her rainbow flavor frosting. Then the pink pony heard on knock on her door. Startled she quickly hides what little remained of Rainbow Dash and wipes a smudge of dried up blood on her face as she went to open the door. It was no other than her friend Applejack. 
“Howdy there, Pinkie Pie! Just thought I’d ask you first if ya would like to come and help me with this year’s cider season? I reckon you would be a great taste tester!”
Shocked Pinkie says. “Oh my Celestia! I almost forgot! Wait wait wait! What time is it?” 
Looking to the clock tower Applejack responds. “Bout 6 in the mornin. Pardon me if I woke ya I-.” 
Pinkie cuts her friend off short. “Oh no silly! I’ve been up all night!” 
Applejack questions her friend. “Out of curiosity, doin what exactly?” 
Pinkie laughed. “Hehehe now if I told you it wouldn’t be a surprise now would it?” Giving Applejack a very wide-eyed smile.
Applejack almost ignoring Pinkies previous statement simply laughs. “Haha, you really crack me up Pinkie! Let get to walkin.” 
After a little walk the two ponies arrived at sweet apple acres. Not long after all the other ponies started to arrive to get their hoofs on some delicious cider. But then a familiar sound came from the distance. It was the Flim Flam brothers on their Super Speedy Cider Squeeze 6000™.
“Oh boy,” Applejack sighed. As Flim & Flam pulled up they broke Granny Smith’s fence once more. Applejack gave an unfriendly welcome. “I’d thought we would never see the likes of you two around these parts again! I reckon you need a reminder how we make the best darn cider in all of Equestria!”
Flam removed his hat and cleared his throat. “No my sweet philly we came back because we didn’t want to leave on bad terms. We-.” 
Flim cut short by his brother. “Yes I do say we acted a bit unprofessional. So to apologize we wrote another song!”
“Woe woe woe there partner!” Applejack interrupted before they broke into song. “I don’t think that’ll be necessary. Look ya fellers did the right thing by apologizing but we don’t need you guys or yer darn thing-a-ma-jig.” 
“We thought you might say something like that but if you remember we made a bet and we won so…We still own the sweet apple acres farm. And now with our new and improved Super Speedy Cider Squeeze 6000™ we will be talking back what’s ours. We will give you a day to pack up your things” Flam said with a smug look.
“See you tomorrow!” Flim said while the two con-ponies drove off.
Pinkies jaw dropped and was completely shocked. “You’re not really moving are you?” Pinkie asked. 
“A bets a bet I guess.” Applejack said in a depressed voice. She calls to her brother. “C’mon Big Macintosh, we got some packin to do.” 
“Those meany pants! I’ll show them!” Pinkie blurted out. Then a sudden burst of ideas started going through the pink pony’s mind. “And I know just how to do it.” She thought to herself. She then hopped away back towards Ponyville. 
Almost whispering Fluttershy said. “What do you supposed she meant by that?”
Twilight chimed in. “Oh you know Pinkie…Right now she is probably planning a surprise party for Flim & Flam.”
They all laughed and headed to the farm to help Applejack pack up her things.
