Thank you. End A/N Chapter 7 I woke up to the smell of something delicious cooking coming from downstairs. My stomach growled at the smell, I guess that I need to get up now. I got up, left my room, and walked downstairs, and saw, once again, Arcana surrounded by books. "Did you get any sleep last night and what's cooking?" She looked up at me and said, "Well duh, of course I got some sleep it's just that there are all of these book here about magic and I want to know everything. Oh, and that pancakes you are smelling." I rolled my eyes at her and looked towards the kitchen and said, "I didn't know that ponies know how to make pancakes." "They didn't, I got blank stares this morning when I asked for pancakes, so I taught and made pancakes for them, and they loved them," Arcana said turning her attention back to the book she is reading. "Where is Twilight and Spike anyway?" I asked as I entered the kitchen and saw the plate of pancakes for me on the table. "They both went to Canterlot to get a replacement copy of a book that Spike dragon-sneezed in and also to get more books, of course, so I volunteered to look after the library for them." Arcana answered from the other room. As I was pulling the plate of pancakes towards me I said, "Of course," and started eating. After I finished eating and put the plate in the sink. I said, “Goodbye I’ll be back later,” and left the tree home of Twilight. Okay now to get a job, because I don't want to smooch off of her anymore, I thought as I walked down the street. I looked around Ponyville, and after about four hours, I found myself outside of Sweet Apple Acres gazing at the sign and thought, I'll ask Applejack if she has any work for me. I entered the apple farm and saw a lot of ponies about, What is going on? "SOUP'S ON, EVERYPONY," yelled a voice. All of sudden there was a stampede of ponies coming at me, Ahh crap. I started running along them, but I was too slow, and found myself being dragged along with them. I was dumped off along the road and found myself staring up at Applejack and she asked, "Well howdy there partner, what brings ya about these parts? " "Well, I was wondering if you had any jobs for me to do, because I need work. What is with everypony here? "I answered and asked. "Well, shoot you are in the middle of the Apple Family Reunion, so let me introduce you to all of the Apple Family, "and with that she grabbed my hoof and brought me to her family. "Now this is-" "Wait let me guess," I took a deep breath and said, "this is Apple Fritter, Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala, Red Delicious, Golden delicious, Caramel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tarts, Baked Apples, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp, gasps, Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom and Granny Smith, is that everypony?" I was surrounded by ponies with their mouth hanging open. Big Mac said, "enope." I thought it over and looked around and saw a familiar pony among them, "and cousin Braeburn, now is that everypony?" "Eeyup." "Good, "I said and looked at Applejack and saw her still staring at me with wide eyes and with her mouth still hanging, I looked around and saw everypony still staring at me. "What?" I asked Applejack. She took me a little away from everypony and whispered to me, "How in tarnation did you do that and how did you know everypony's name?" "Remember I'm a brony, and it took me a long time to memorize everypony's name, but it was worth it," I whispered back, "Now to avoid confusion and panic, I suggest that you talk to your family right now." After both of us got back to the group and an explanation that she already introduce them to me, which isn’t a complete lie, the reunion continued. The reunion finished about an hour later, and I talked to Applejack that I wanted to work on her farm. "Well sure sugarcube, we do need more working hooves around here. Be here around sunrise tomorrow, okay?" "Alright then, see you in the morning," I left the farm feeling good with myself that I finally got a job. When I got back to the library, I found a letter on the door saying: Will be back soon Star, I found a very interesting spell. I will be in the fields if you want to find me and tell Twilight and Spike I'm sorry. Arcana I took the letter off the door and entered the library and found it in complete disarray, dang. "What the hay happened in here?" said a voice behind me. I turned around and saw Twilight and Spike staring at the pile of books with surprise written all over their faces. "Holy guacamole Twilight, she is worse than you and it has been only about several hours and look at this place," Spike said, "And I have to clean this up." I helped Spike to clean up the library and explained to Twilight that I'm now going to help Applejack around the farm and where Arcana went to and why. "Hm.. to try out a spell.. Oh, and before I forget, Princess Celestia gave me tickets for the Grand Galloping Gala for me, you two and the rest of my friends," Twilight said happily. "Let's just hope that it doesn't end like last time," I said laughing. "Yeah let's hope so," Twilight said blushing pink from the embarrassment of that night. "Hey guys, shouldn’t Arcana be coming back right about now?” said Spike. "You’re right Spike, she should be back right now," I confirmed. At that moment there was knock then a panicky voice cried out, "Twilight, Star, we have a problem here." I opened the door and saw standing there huffing and puffing was Rarity. "What's the problem?" Twilight asked worried that something can get Rarity in this state. Rarity regained her composure and quickly said, "Arcana has been pony-napped by Diamond Dogs."
