	Applejack woke up early the next morning. She was tired, which was unusual, but that never stopped her before. Applejack made her way downstairs and began cooking breakfast like she did most mornings. Her family wasn't one for gender stereotypes, but Applejack seemed to be the only one who was able to do it... well. It still sent shivers down Applejack's to even think about her "day off" when Apple Bloom took over breakfast, Applejack couldn't eat for the rest of the day. As Applejack got started on breakfast Apple Bloom trudged into the kitchen with sleep still in her eyes. Apple Bloom allowed a loud yawn to escape her before she asked the same question she did every morning.
"What's for breakfast?" Apple Bloom asked, resting her head on Applejack's side.
"Oatmeal." Applejack explained before letting out a yawn of her own. Apple Bloom made her way over to the table as Applejack was pouring the freshly made oatmeal into four individual bowls. She carried two of the bowls to the table, leaving Big Macintosh's and Granny Smith's oatmeal on the counter for whenever they woke up. Applejack sat down and began eating with her younger sister as they awaited the arrival of the rest of their family. The sisters talked about school, cutie marks, work, and various other subjects before Big Macintosh and Granny Smith found their ways downstairs. The family thanked Applejack for the meal and began engorging themselves. However the deal was still on the table, and still in Applejack's mind. It wouldn't go away, not for a second. It's like that one fly that won't leave you alone, buzzing around and annoying you for who knows how long. Applejack knew if she didn't say something soon, she'd go crazy, but she was afraid. She knew everypony in her family hated Flim and Flam, she did too, but her family needed this. She must have looked nervous because her whole family was staring at her with worried expressions.
"Eh..." Granny Smith began. "Is there something on yer mind there Applejack?" She asked in her raspy voice.
"Ya, something wrong sis?" Asked her brother, expressing great concern. Applejack knew she had to say it now. She just couldn't fin the right words. Her forehead broke out into a small sweat, her heartbeat picked up, and then...
"FLIM AND FLAM CAME BY YESTERDAY!" Applejack burst, and it was out there in the air, and Applejack couldn't take it back, no matter how much she wanted to.
