Six months later...

It is autumn in Ponyville, at Sweet Apple Acres, the sun is rising and the four members of the Apple family are waking up to start another long day in the family farm. 

Inside, Granny Smith and Applebloom are in the kitchen cooking some apple pancakes just as Applejack, carrying some mail, walks in, ready for the day.

"Pancakes are smellin' fine Granny." complimented Applejack to her grandmother. She takes a seat at the breakfast table and begins sorting through the mail. "Bill, bill, jury duty, weddin' invitation-" Applejack does a double take. "WEDDIN' INVITATION?" she exclaims. She takes the envelope and opens it to reveal a wedding invite for Twilight and Turner's wedding. "Gosh darn it! Pinkie Pie got a li'l t'eager in sendin' th' invites! Dosen't she know that a date hasn't been set yet!"

Just as Applejack spoke, Big Mac comes walking in with a smile in his face, wearing his yoke and with a yellow feather on his ear. He sits down next to Applejack. 

"Hey Big Mac, we've been invited t'th' weddin'." Applejack announces to her brother. She then notices Fluttershy's feather on his ear and it quickly reminds her of her best friend. Fluttershy has been gone for six months now and nopony knows when she'll come back.

"Eeyup." was all Big Mac says with a smile. Knowing full well that a date has not been set yet, although he promised himself that he'll only go if Fluttershy was there.

Applebloom then takes her seat as Granny Smith puts the plate of pancakes on the table. "Remember, it's all yo' kin eat today!" announced Granny Smith. The family quickly say their thanks and begin to dig in.





"I'll be takin' Applebloom t'school, so I'll be back!" announced Applejack as she and Applebloom leave the farm house. They both walk off, leaving both Granny Smith and Big Mac sitting in the front porch.

Granny Smith then sees Big Mac looking up to the sky, knowing full well that he's looking for any signs of his marefriend Fluttershy. "Still waitin' fo' her?" smilied Granny Smith to her grandson. Big Mac just blushes and nods yes. "She muss mean a lot t'yo' fo' yo' t'wait this long fo' her." she states.

"Eeyup." states Big Mac. After a few more seconds of scanning the skies, Big Mac walks off into the field to do his chores.

"That Fluttershy reminds me a lot of his Ma." says Granny Smith to herself as she watches Big Mac head towards the fields.





Big Mac is busy chopping wood in preperation for winter in about two months. After almost an hour of chopping wood, he spits out the axe and sits under a tree for a break. While sitting under the tree he scans the countryside around him in their beautiful autumn colors. All of this begins to remind him of Fluttershy, he hasn't seen her in six months already, but he was told to wait, and that's what he'll do.

While scanning, he immediatly spots a small distant figure standing on top of a hill. He takes a good look at the figure to see that it is yellow with wings. Big Mac's eyes widen as he gets up and begins galloping towards the figure, his heart beating with excitement. Along the way, his galloping causes some of the leaves to fall of the trees he passes by, as he gets closer and closer to his goal.

Once he reaches the hill, he sees that the figure is indeed Fluttershy, smiling at him, and carrying saddlebags. He stops galloping and slows down to a walk as he finally comes face to face with her. 

Both Fluttershy and Big Mac just stand there smiling at each other. They look into each others eyes, Fluttershy's blue eyes, to Big Mac's green, as the space between their faces slowly dissapeares.

"I miss you Mac." said Fluttershy, smiling and happy, her face getting closer and closer to Big Mac's.

"Eeyup." agreed Big Mac. His way of saying "I missed you too, sugercube."
