Applejack ran outside and made her way over to the barn. As she walked in she saw Granny Smith busy sorting apples.
“Why there you are Applejack. How did the talk with Big Mac go?” Granny Smith asked AJ as she ran into the barn.
“No time for details Granny, but long story short, I got him to tell me what’s bothering him and I thought of a way to help him. Where’s Apple Bloom?” Applejack asked rapidly as she looked all around the barn for her little sister.
“Well her two little friends came by and they went on over to their tree house,” Granny Smith said in response to Applejack.
“Thanks Granny, I’ll tell you more later, but I got to go talk to Apple Bloom right now. See you at lunch.”
And with that Applejack galloped out of the barn at top speeds leaving a confused Granny Smith to go back to sorting apples and wonder what it was that Applejack was planning now.
“Alright girls, today really WILL be the day that we finally get out cutie marks. I just know it!” Apple Bloom excitedly said to her two friends in their tree house.
“What should we try today first?” asked Scootaloo. “Bungee jumping? Pro wrestling?”
“Oh, how about rock climbing?”added Sweetie Belle.
“Actually girls, I have something I think you may be interested in doing.”
The three fillies turned around to see Applejack at the entrance of their tree house.
“Sis! How did the talk with Big Mac go? Is he ok? Is anything wrong with him?” Apple Bloom asked her older sister.
“Well girls, it would seem that Big Macintosh is in a bit of a bad situation in his relationship with Ms. Cheerilee,” Applejack told the fillies. “He needs some advice on what to do, but I don’t know a lick about relationship advice. I also don’t have any time to go find somepony who does on a count of me having to do apple bucking all day. So I was wondering if you girls could go in to Ponyville and ask around till you find somepony who can really help out Big Macintosh with his problem. That way we can finally see Big Mac happy again.”
“So, you want us to track down somepony so they can help Big Mac in his relationship?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Kind of like detectives!” Scootaloo excitedly exclaimed.
“Alright sis, we won’t let ya down!” Apple Bloom told her sister. “Alright girls, let’s use our detective skills to track down somepony to help my big brother and Ms. Cheerilee in their relationship!”
“Cutie Mark Crusader Detectives! YAY!”
In a flash, the 3 young fillies ran out from the tree house and into Ponyville, on a mission to find somepony to help Big Macintosh.
“I really hope you can find some help for him girls.” Applejack watched as the three fillies disappeared into the distance. She then looked around at the countless apple trees around her that needed to be bucked. “Guess it’s time to get to work for now.”
