//------------------------------// // Intertwine of a distance ancestor // Story: The Mechanic // by Clintr //------------------------------// It's been nearly over a month since my arrival here in Equestria, and the past few weeks were... "Lively". I still continued living with Twilight, I also have time to myself. But thanks to a certain pink mare, every time I walk pass Sugarcube Corner I have to remain on my toes. - Golden Oaks Library 9:00am. Me, Twilight and Spike were reading books about Genealogy. Twilight soon book the book she was reading on a stack and went to get another. But when she pulled the book Pinkie soon appeared from within the shelf. "Whatcha doin'?" Pinkie asked Twilight. "Aaagh!" ""Aaagh" yourself! But that doesn't answer my question, silly." Pinkie said then giggled. "Pinkie?" I questioned. 'How the hell did she get in there.' "Just some genealogical research." Twilight answered. "Here, let me help you outta there Pinkie." I said then tried to help her off the shelf. "Ohhh." Pinkie responded. But soon fell on top of me. She soon sat up (while she still straddled me) then whispered to Spike "I don't know what that is." "Genealogy is the study of family history. Y'know, where ponies come from and who they're related to." Spike explained then stacked more scrolls in a cris-cross formation. "Ooh, fascinating." "Pinkie can you get off me now?" I asked. "Oh, sorry Torrent." Pinkie soon got off of me then took a scroll second from the bottom. "Maybe you should pick one from the... top?" Twilight said then the scroll tower didn't topple. 'Wow, it's like Jenga.' I mentally said. Pinkie soon rolled out the comically long scroll then began "scrolling" down. (Pun intended.) "Uh-huh... Interesting... I see... Hmm, that makes sense... Not much of a surprise there..." Pinkie soon went to the basement "WHAT?!?" Twilight soon opened the window and Pinkie was outside "This is the most amazing thing ever!" 'Yeah, How'd the heck did you get out there?' I said in my head. Pinkie continued talking. "Why didn't you tell me how amazing this is?! Genealogy is better than cotton candy on top of a fountain of chocolate!" Pinkie exclaimed then fell to the ground "You'll never believe who it says I'm related to!" "Who?" I asked. "No time to explain, come cousin!" Pinkie said quickly then took hold of my arm. "Say wha-?" I didn't get to finish because I soon found myself being dragged by Pinkie. - Sweet Apple Acres 9:15am Pinkie soon started knocking on AppleJack's door then AppleJack soon answered it. "Hey, cousin!" Pinkie greeted then hugged AppleJack. - Sweet Apple Acres 9:30am Me and Pinkie soon sat on the guest couch while AppleJack was elated upon hearing the news. "This is just so excitin', I can hardly believe it!" she said. "I know! Isn't it the best?" Pinkie added. Apple Bloom soon hopped forward then on the couch "I have another brother and sister! I have another brother and sister!" "Well, you actually have a fourth cousin twice removed by a fifth cousin and a long lost cousin twice removed by a second cousin, but that's like exactly like a brother and sister!" Pinkie explained. 'There are a lot of things wrong here. I mentally said with an uneasy expression. But no one hasn't notice it because they were all too focused on the whole new family member topic. Applejack soon spoke "I'd try to tone it down a little around non-family members, because I don't want to make them jealous, but..." However, Apple Bloom didn't tone down at all "This is the best family ever!" she exclaimed as she jumped up and down on the couch. Soon then the spring of the cushion gave way in which caused said spring to launch Apple bloom to the celling. Applejack soon covered the spring with a pillow "It really is. You two are gonna love bein' Apples." Apple bloom soon fell to the floor. "I mean, you've got the playful one..." Apple bloom soon the came out on top of a big ball but crashed into something else. Pinkie soon started clapping her hoofs. "The strong one..." "Eeyup." Big Mac replied as he was holding a kitchen stove with one arm. But soon a pie soon splat on his face. "Easy there Big Mac, here I'll take it off your hands or hoofs." I said as I took the stove with two hands. Now being a mechanic has it's perks, the times when the lifter in my shop would break down I had to resort to some heavy duty chains and raw manpower. To compare my strength towards the long years of heavy lifting with my arms (plus having the blood of a heavyweight boxer) my level of strength would be equal to Simon Garth. After I placed the stove back in the kitchen I walked back to the living room then sat back down on the couch. Applejack continued "And of course, there's Granny Smith, who knows everythin' about everythin'!" she soon pointed to Granny who was siting in her rocker. "A Ponyville snail can hibernate for up to forty-eight moons!" she said. "Who knew?" Pinkie said. Applejack soon walked towards the door "And then there's me." she soon sniffs the air then exhaled "Do you smell that sweet apple air, you two?" I didn't respond, knowing that was a rhetorical question. But Pinkie on the other hand soon took a big whiff of the air. She was about to say something till Applejack plugged Pinkie's mouth with her hoof. "That was rhetorical. Of course you smell it. You're both Apples now!" Apple Bloom soon ran out the door "And Applejack is the one responsible for it!" "Aw, Apple Bloom, that is sweet, but--" Applejack was cut off by Apple Bloom. "It's true! I mean she keeps us all organized and on schedule and does her own part on top of it all!" "Mm-hmm." Big Mac and Granny Smith agreed, causing Applejack to blush. Pinkie soon took hold of my hand then hopped forward "I was already super happy as a Pie! And now I get to be a part of this amazing family too along with coolest human Torrent?" "Pinkie I know your happy and all 'a little too happy' but how is it th-" I was cut off by Apple bloom. "It's even more amazin' now that you and Torrent are in it!" she started speaking rhythmically tone "We're family, we're family, you an' me are family!" Apple bloom soon twirled Pinkie then kept twirling. "Best family twirl everrrrrrr!" she exclaimed. But soon crashed into something. "Huh, I just can't believe we've never heard anythin' about this before! Hmm..." Applejack said as she looked at the scroll. "What's wrong, sis?" Apple Bloom asked. "I'm not seein' where exactly it says we're family." she answered. Pinkie soon took the scroll then lay it out "It's riiiiiiiii-" Pinkie soon took a deep breath "-iiiiiight here!" she pointed to the very bottom of the scroll, at the other end of the barn. "It... is?" Applejack questioned. "Uh-huh. Applesauce of the Apple family lineage is a fourth cousin twice removed of the Pie family and Apple clobber of the Apple family lineage had long lost cousin of the Braddock family!" "I see the part about our great, great auntie Applesauce, the fourth cousin twice removed part, and the part of our great , great uncle Apple clobber but those last bit's awful smudged. Are you sure it says 'Pie' and 'Braddock'?" Pinkie soon looked back at the scroll "I guess it is a little smudged, but I see most of it there, and when I read it, I knew in my heart it was true!" "Well, ain't that just the sweetest thing!" Granny Smith said. Big Mac, Granny Smith an Apple bloom gave Pinkie and myself a group hug considering that she still held my arm. Applejack soon walked up to us "It is, it is. I'd just hate for us to get all excited before we found out for sure." "So how are we supposed to find out for sure?" Apple bloom asked as she kicked up some dirt. They all soon started thinking until Granny Smith had an idea. "Ehhhh... Oh! Cousin Goldie Delicious! Her cabin's practically an Apple family history museum! If anypony has the records to back up Pinkie's theory, it's her!" Applejack soon spoke up. "Huh, I suppose we could always... I mean, Goldie Delicious doesn't live that far away, and we haven't been on one as a family in a real long time... " she soon looked at us and excluding myself were giving toothy smiles "Are y'all thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" Soon the Apple family exclaimed in unison "Family road trip!" - Golden Oaks Library 10:15am. "You're doing what now?" Twilight questioned. "Me, Pinkie along with Applejack, Granny Smith, Apple bloom and Big Mac are going to Goldie Delicious cabin to see if she can help backup Pinkie's theory of whether or not if she and myself are apart of the Apple family." I said as I packed any necessary weaponry in my shoulder bag. "But isn't that impossible in considering that you're-" "That I'm a human from a different dimension." I finished Twilight's sentence. Twilight soon nodded her head in agreement. "Ether way, I already betting that I'm not blood-related to the family, but I'll go along with this trip into seeing how will it turn out." "Well, you and the others be carful okay." As I neared the door, I just remembered something. "By the way, Where's Spike?" I asked. The snoring soon immediately followed after my question. "He's sleeping?" I said questionably. "Today is his day off, so he normally spends it sleeping." Twilight answered. "Ahh." With that question out of the way, I soon went out the door then towards Sweet Apple Acres. - Road to Sweet Apple Acres 10:30am I soon met back up with Pinkie as I walked pass Sugarcube Corner who then handed me a bag. Said something that it would come in handy during the trip she said. - Sweet Apple Acres 10:45am As we walked pass the gate (well, I walked, Pinkie just did her default hopping while trailing confetti behind her.) we soon meet with the Apple Family with an over packed Jalopy. Pinkie soon spoke as we approached "Are y'all ready to go? Because I'm ready to go-go-go!" "I'm ready too." I said. Big Mac soon gesture his hoof to put our stuff into the Jalopy. Pinkie soon tossed her bag in it, but Big Mac looked towards me. "I'm ok with carrying my stuff Big Mac." I said. Applejack soon looked towards the Jalopy "Er, Big Mac? Are you sure we really need all that stuff?" "Eeyup." "Are you sure you're strong enough to really pull all that stuff?" Applejack asked again. "Eeyup." "Are you sure the wagon's strong enough to hold it all?" Big Mac soon groaned "Eeyup!" Applejack soon frowned at him but quickly looked towards me and Pinkie "Then lets get this show on the road!" - On the road to Goldie Delicious 11:00am. I wanted to help Big Mac pull the cart but he politely refused, so I soon found myself walking along side the Jalopy. The rocks on the dirt road made the Jalopy bump but soon I started hearing music. C'mon, Apples, y'all know this one! Hot-diggity! Yee-haw! Eeyup. We travel the road of generations Joined by a common bond We sing our song 'cross the pony nation From Equestria and beyond We're Apples forever, Apples together We're family, but so much more No matter what comes, we will face the weather We're Apples to the core Eeyup I don't what was I thinking, but I soon took out a pair of drumsticks (instruments not chicken) then began drumming to the beat against the Jalopy. There's no place that I'd rather be Than travelin' with my family Friends all around come to join and see As we sing out across the land We're Apples forever, Apples together We're family, but so much more No matter what comes, we will face the weather We're Apples to the core Eeyup We're peas in a pod, we're thick as thieves Any cliché you can throw at me We're here for each other, through thick and thin You're always welcome with your Apple kin Wheeeeee! You're more fun than the color pink Or balloons flying over your favorite drink The love I feel here is swim, not sink As we party across this land All right! We're Apples forever, Apples together We're family, but so much more No matter what comes, we will face the weather We're Apples to the core! Eeyup! The Jalopy soon fell apart. 'I knew that it would fall apart. I thought - Jalopy crash site 11:15am Applejack came up to Big Mac "Big Mac! I thought you said–" Pinkie soon appeared beside Applejack "Uh, I thought–" she stammered "I mean, not that I'm blamin' you, because we don't blame in this family, but I thought you said all this stuff wasn't gonna be too heavy." Big Mac soon looked at Applejack sternly. I can easily tell that their trying to hold back their arguments. "How're we supposed to get to Goldie Delicious now?" Apple Bloom question. Granny Smith soon spoke up "I don't know, but I don't see how we can go back now either. We're closer to cousin Goldie's that we are to home. Torrent don't you got any of your fancy mechanical doohickeys with ya?" "The only things I have with me are my projects. I had some building supplies but Pinkie said otherwise." "What's she do with it?" Apple bloom questioned. "She soaked them in bleach and smashed them with a mallet." Pinkie soon then gasped "I have the best... idea... ever! Family river trip!" she exclaimed. "Heh." Applejack nervously chuckled "Just one problem. We haven't got a raft." she soon spoke under her breath "'Bout the only thing that didn't get packed." In soon responded by Big Mac glaring at Applejack. "Well, back in the old days, we used to use the sap from a sugar pine tree to glue things together." Granny Smith said as she stuck her hoof towards a sap filled tree." "That is, uh, fascinatin'... Don't know that it's helpful, but it is fascinatin'..." Applejack said. "Pfft! 'Not helpful', my patootie! We're gonna build ourselves a raft out of these here jalopy parts and keep it held together with sugar pine sap!" "Hm, worth a shot!" Applejack said. "Woo-hoo!" Pinkie exclaimed. - The riverbank 30 minuets later. Me and Applejack soon finished fastening the makeshift raft with vines. Applejack soon spoke "Could be worse, I guess. Now remember, this time we're only packin' the necessities." Pinkie soon popped out of the luggage "Wait a second!" then took a photo. "This one is for the scrapbook!" she said with a giggle. "Pinkie Pie, when did you have time to make this?" Applejack asked Pinkie. Pinkie soon put the scrapbook away "Applejack, when you're family, you make the time." Big mac soon pushed the raft off the riverbank. "Woo-hoo! We did it!" Applejack exclaimed. "Say 'soaked'!" Pinkie said to the apple family. They raised a brow until they got splashed by a big wave. - On the River 11:45am While Applejack was taking the helm, Granny and Apple bloom were playing checkers while I just rested on the stern of the raft listing in on Pinkie and Big Mac's conversation. "So what you're saying is, if I have the courage to jump, the parachute will open." Pinkie said to Big Mac. "Eeyup." "Whoa! That is deep!" "Eeyup." Applejack soon looked ahead of us to see the river splits into three paths "Uh-oh... All right, y'all. Please tell me that the map didn' get wet. 'Cuz it looks like I'm gonna need it right about now." Apple Bloom soon rummaged through the cargo till she found the map "Found it!" Apple bloom soon started singing. Who's got the map? I got the map! M to the A to the yeah, that's right, P Ain't no other pony found a map like me I'm Applel— Uh-oh. Applejack soon gasped. As everyone tried to grab the map, it soon went overboard soon a fish caught it then said fish got swooped by a eagle, along with the map, Pinkie soon took a picture. Apple Bloom soon laughed nervously. Applejack soon walked up to Apple Bloom "All you had to do was bring it to me. No singin', no dancin', no games. Just walk it over!" she said through gritted teeth. "Eeyup." Big Mac replied through gritted teeth. "Say 'best siblings ever'!" Pinkie exclaimed as they tried to put convincing smiles on. then clicked her camera "Ooh, that's another keeper!" Granny Smith soon spoke up "It's okay, y'all! I travelled down this river as a filly and I know it like the back of my hoof!" "Are you sure you know which way to go?" Applejack questioned Granny Smith. "Does a June bug like to hide in a tree?" 'Yes.' I mentally said. "Uh... I don't know." "Well, I do know! And I also know we wanna head southeast! Now step aside, young'un!" Granny smith soon took the wheel and head to the far right. "Um, Granny?" Applejack asked. "Myuh-huh?" "Are we supposed to go through a cave?" Applejack asked as we spotted a cave in the distance. "Ah, don't worry, child! The scariest cave in Equestria was down that other way!" "The scariest cave in Equestria?" Apple Bloom said as she gripped onto Big Mac. "Oh, it's a fright all right! Filled with creatures that'll eat ya soon as look at ya!" Pinkie soon appeared beside Granny Smith "Ooh, sounds scary. Tell us more!" I was still laying on the side of the raft but I was still able to listen on the conversation. "Ponies go in... but they never come out!" Granny Smith said. "And you're sure it's not that cave? The one we're headin' straight for?" Applejack asked. "Now, Applejack, I taught you better than to question your elder ponies!" Granny Smith said. They soon glared at each other but soon looked at Pinkie who gave a squee. "Heh... you sure did." Applejack said to Granny Smith. "Alrighty then. Now everypony just sit on back an' leave the steerin' to your old Granny Smith." she said as we headed towards the cave. I soon unzipped my bag then pulled out the Bulletstorm Chaingun with unlimited energy and soon revved it up. Applejack soon gulped as we entered the cave. "See now? Told ya th--" Granny Smith was soon interrupted by roaring sounds and gunshots. Screams of the Apple family soon followed. Pinkie soon clicked her camera "Got it!" screaming continues "Best scary unidentifiable creature and best Torrent action moment ever!" continuing screaming "Say 'terrified'!" The screaming still continued and Pinkie took another snapshot. As we exited the cave Pinkie began humming while I extinguished my gun in the water. I looked towards the Apple family to see Apple Bloom and Applejack clinging on to Big mac, While Granny Smith had a shocked expression on her face. "Guess that was the scariest cave in Equestria." Granny smith said but soon received glares from the rest of the family. "Uh, of course I meant to take us through it! Unexpected adventure is good for the soul!" "Best granny wisdom ever!" Pinkie said as I put back my Minigun. Applejack soon walked up to the wheel "Uh-huh. Why don't you just scooch on over there, Granny? Think I'll take it from here on out." "Huh! Is that how I taught you to treat your elder ponies?" she said as she tugged the other end of the wheel. "Ooh! Ooh! Is it?" Pinkie questioned. "You taught me to trust my common sense. And my common sense says we should get to Goldie Delicious's cabin in one piece." Applejack answered as she tugged her end of the wheel. Granny Smith soon tugged the wheel back to her "And that is exactly what I'm gonna do!" Tugged the wheel back "That is mighty generous of you, but I think you've done enough for one day." Granny Smith tugged it back "And how exactly are you gonna know which way to go?" "Hmmmmmmm?" Pinkie replied. "It would be easier if the map hadn't gone overboard!" Applejack gesturing over to Apple Bloom. "Hey! There wouldn't have been an overboard if Big Mac hadn't overpacked the jalopy!" "Eeyu- hey!" I can easily that this family was near it's breaking point. "Exactly! So I think we can all agree that from here on out, I should be in charge of everythin'." The Apple family soon arguing and yanking the wheel in all directions. 'This won't end well.' Soon enough I was right, the wheel flew out of their hooves then landed in the river then a duck soon caught it the said duck got swooped by an eagle. The family soon glared at Applejack causing her to laugh nervously. Pinkie soon popped up next to Applejack. "I just wanna say... that I think you're all super duper, and I can't wait to make a page in my scrapbook about the amazing waterfall we went down!" We all soon looked ahead of us to see that we were about to go over the waterfall. "Holy shit. I said to myself. I soon hooked some chains to the handles of the raft then held them in each arms. The Apple family soon began panicking, then started screaming when we went down the fall. "Wheeeee!" Pinkie exclaimed. Pinkie soon took some pictues then the raft soon hit bottom then popped back up. "Huh! Told you that sugar pine sap would hold this thing together." Granny Smith said as she re-furled an umbrella. "Wait where's Pinkie and Torrent?" Applejack asked. "We're up here." I called out. The look up to see me with a deployed Para-glider with Pinkie in the secondary strap. I soon dropped Pinkie on to the raft but it soon fell apart causing both the Apples and Pinkie to yelp. "To hell with it." I said as I unstrapped myself then fell into the water, - Goldie Delicious's Cabin An hour later. The Apple family soon started groaning as we headed towards Goldie Delicious's Cabin. "We're here! We're here! We made it to Goldie Delicious's's's's's!" Pinkie said "You guys! There's a note!" she exclaimed as she took the note off the door then began skimming through it, then started giggling. "Uh, Pinkie Pie? Maybe you could read that one out loud?" Applejack asked. "Oh, right, sorry! I haven't even read it yet. I was just looking at how pretty the paper is. Okay, it says that she ran off to run some errands but will be home soon! Oh, that's perfect!" "Why is that perfect?" Apple Bloom questioned. "Because it'll give me enough time to get more scrapbook paper! Come along Torrent! See ya!" "Coming!" I called out then followed her. - Sometime later. As we came back from the scrapbook shop we soon heard Applejack's voice. "Everypony, I think we have to let Pinkie Pie and Torrent know that even if they do discover that their Apples, they does not have to feel obliged to consider themselves one." "Sure as applesauce." Granny Smith replied. "Are you kidding me?!" Pinkie called out. "You guys are the best family ever!" "How can you say that?" Applejack questioned "We started out as one big unit, and now look at us." "Yeah! Now look at you! You're all here still in one big unit, loving each other and owning up to what went wrong! You never gave up, even when things got tough!" "She's right you guys, I mean sure we had a bumpy road and raging water path in the middle, but as Pinkie stated, it all matters on the pathway can be accomplished." I added. 'I can't believe I said something so cheesy.' "They do make a pretty good point." Apple Bloom spoke. "You aren't just family, you're best friends!" Pinkie soon dog-piled Applejack" And I wanna be an Apple more than ever!" "I too would like to see if I'm related." I said. "And we want you two be one too!" Apple Bloom said. "Yippee!" Pinkie exclaimed then giggled. "Now that's how you run an errand." said a mare in an elderly voice. We all turned to see an elderly peach colored mare whit he saddlebags full of cats walking towards us. "Hello!" Pinkie greeted. "Hello yourself!" The mare greeted back. Applejack soon spoke up "You must be Goldie Delicious. So nice to meet you." "Uh-huh. And who exactly are you?" "We're Apples!" Pinkie exclaimed as she put both her arms around our shoulder. "Well, we think we're all Apples. But we need your help finding out if Pinkie Pie here is our fourth cousin twice removed and Torrent her is a long lost cousin." Applejack explained. "Well why didn't you say so? If anypony can help solve this genealogy mystery, it's me!" Goldie Delicious said. She soon started trying to open the door. Goldie Delicious soon started straining "Oh, I am sorry about this. I wasn't exactly expectin' company. Lemme try to squeeze in here..." she soon started straining again as the cats soon started complaining. "Uh, Mrs. Goldie, do you need any help?" I asked. "No thank you youngin'... Gotta... get some oil... for the hinges..." Goldie Delicious soon managed to slip inside but soon started throwing numerous items and cats out the door. "Alrighty then, just have to move a few things out of the way of the door. Ooh! Ah! Get off of that, Mr. Fluffy... Come on, Pooples... Come here, sweetheart... Come on in! Sorry about the mess!" We all soon walked in to see that there was even more items and cats inside than there was outside. "Whoa!" Applejack exclaimed as she stepped on some horseshoes. "Oh, careful now. Those belonged to your great-great-great-great uncle Apple Tart!" Goldie Delicious said. "Well, whose was this?" Apple Bloom asked about the gingerbread house. "Well, that was my lunch. A couple of weeks ago." Goldie Delicious soon walked up to a stack of books and blew a kitten made of dust then pulled a thick book the bottom. 'I've heard of dust bunnies, but dust kitties? That's just ridiculous.' I thought. The book must've been pretty heavy and thick considering on how Goldie Delicious was straining "This here is a complete record of, of our family tree!" she began flipping through the pages "It's not here, or here, or, or here, or it certainly isn't here, is, is it...? Oh, here it is! ...Oh, dear." "'Oh, dear'? What is it?" Granny Smith asked. "Are me and Torrent not Apples after all?" Pinkie asked Goldie Delicious. "Well, that's just it. I don't know. The page is all smudged. I sure am sorry, but I don't think I can help you out after all." "Don't be sorry, it's okay. I'm just a little disappointed that I'll never know for sure if I'm a part of this family." "That's a shame." I said "Well, I know for sure!" Applejack spoke up. "What do you mean? You can't know!" Pinkie said. "I can know for sure that it doesn't matter what the book says or doesn't say. After all you two been through with us and all the both of you put up with, it's obvious your both Apples to the core!" The rest soon agreed. "Darn tootin'!" "Yes siree!" "Eeyup!" "Ooh! Say 'best family hug ever'!" Pinkie said. "Best family hug e-" "Wait a minute!" Pinkie interrupted the family then look towards me standing off to the side. "What?" I asked. "Quit ya stallin' and get in the picture with us! You're apart of the family too!" said Applejack "Yea but I'm a hu-" "Human shmuman just get in the picture sonny." Granny Smith said "Their right Torrent, you're apart of the family along with Pinkie." said Apple Bloom "Big Mac?" "Eeyup." I soon let out a sigh "Looks like ya shanghaied me." I soon got in and stood right next to Big Mac. Alrighty then!" Pinkie said as she held the camera in front of us with her tail "Say 'best family hug ever'!" " "Best family hug ever!" we all said then the camera clicked. - Departure 2:00pm "Thanks again for the wagon, Goldie! We'll see you soon!" Applejack said. " Y'all sure you don't want to take any of these Apple family heirlooms home with you?" On cue, a mountain of memorabilia came crashing down. "Nnope." Big Mac answered. "Wise choice my friend." I said. We're Apples forever, Apples together We're family, but so much more No matter what comes, we will face the weather We're Apples to the core! Eeyup! Sweet Apple Acres 3:00pm Applejack soon spoke "Twilight agreed this was definitely an experience worth puttin' in the journal. Think I'll write about how bein' a good family isn't about bein' perfect as much as it is about bein' able to get through the rough patches together. About bein' able to forgive each other for mistakes." "Don't forget to mention how really good friends can also feel like your family." Apple Bloom added as she hugged both me and Pinkie. "Eeyup." Big Mac agreed. Applejack soon reached for the quill but Apple Bloom stepped in front of her "You know what? Maybe I should write it. I'm good at makin' things sound excitin'." Granny Smith soon spoke next "I have a history of excellent storytellin'. I should probably do it—" Big Mac soon grabbed the pen "Hey! Where in the haystack do you think you're goin' with that there pen?!" "I'm goin' to do-" Big Mac's voice soon got drowned out by the others. They all soon got into another argument. Pinkie Pie soon spoke up "Look at me! I'm part of the Apple family too! I'm arguing! Argue, argue, argue! Bicker, bicker!" she soon started laughs. - Golden Oaks Library 10:00pm Both Twilight and Spike were out like a light but I was still awake. With a lit candle as my only source of light I looked at the picture of me with the Apple family along with Pinkie and Goldie Delicious. "Part of the family huh?" I soon place the photo in my wallet, blew out the candle and went to sleep.
