The sun was setting over the horizon. Everypony was headed to thier respective dwellings, including Applejack. However, she returned home with a smile on her face. Hard work wasn’t as bad as it usually was.
As she walked through the door she was greeted with a shocked look from both Big Mac and Granny Smith. There was a letter placed before her. “It’s your cousin, Braeburn,” Granny Smith informed her.
Worry and fear paralyzed her momentarily. In her mind, this was the beginning of her dream all over again. However, she reluctantly read the note.
Dear Apple Family at Sweet Apple Acres,
I’m happy to inform ya’ll that I will be visiting in a few days. I’ve got many stories to tell of all the peace accords between us and the buffalo. I hope everypony is doing well. I can’t wait to tell ya’ll about the little filly on the way. See everypony soon!
Best Regards,
Braeburn
Applejack sighed in relief. It was only a note announcing his visit. Yet, the last line just ran through her mind.
“Little filly on the way? Braeburn!”
