After the rodeo the three were left to clean up the stand. The arena was quiet while all of the stand workers were cleaning up there stands. As Sonata was quietly sweeping she noticed a worried expression on Adagio's face. "Is something wrong?" Adagio quickly looked up at Sonata only to look back down.
"I'm just a bit upset," Adagio admitted.
"It was jut a minor setback," Aria said reassuringly, "lets just hope she doesn't go back to Canterlot High blabbing this to her friends. Especially the rainbow one."
Ms. Jubilee came towards the stand to confront her new employees. "Don't let this get you down girls. Why don't we go back to the orchard and have some of the leftover cherry pie."
***************************************************************
Back at the orchard the three sat down to a large brown table. As Mr. Jubilee came towards the table with four plates of cherry pie the sweet aroma filled the air. She sat the plates on the table in front of the girls and seated herself on the other side of the table with cherry pie. As she sat down Sonata took a bite of the cherry pie. She spit the pie out instantly after tasting it.
"Why do the cherries taste different from the ones that they put on top of milkshakes?" Sonata asked. Adagio and Aria elbowed her.
Ms. Jubilee laughed at Sonata's silly question. "Of course they taste different! These cherries are fresh, the ones in milkshakes are candied cherries."
"Since when have you ever had a milkshake anyway?" Aria asked with a flat expression.
"I don't have to tell you guys everything I do!" Sonata said smugly.
The three sat quietly eating their pie pondering the events that happened earlier. Would the negative publicity make it hard for people to see their good side? After finishing their pie Sonata broke the silence as always. "Ms. Jubilee do you have any other jobs for us to do?"
"For your next job I need you three to sort the red and gold cherries."
Ms. Jubilee leaded the three to a giant room with a conveyor belt and two giant buckets. "This is the cherry sorting room. When I turn on the conveyor belt, you will need to put the red cherries in the red bucket and the yellow cherries in the yellow bucket. Tomorrow you will need to make a delivery."
"Well that seems easy enough," Adagio said.
As Ms. Jubilee turned on the conveyor belt, cherries started to come out the machine. She walked out the room and left the three alone to work. Aria pushed the red cherries in the bucket while Adagio pushed the yellow cherries in the bucket. "I have never heard of yellow cherries," Sonata blurted out.
Adagio and Aria completely ignored her and continued to work. Sonata started to think of a way to make them happy again. "Have you ever wondered what a yellow cherry tasted like?" she asked but they still ignored her.
"Don't tell me you guys aren't talking to me anymore! What did I do?" Sonata asked frustrated.
"SHUT UP!" Adagio and Aria yelled at the same time.
Sonata sadly got back to work while Adagio and Aria went back deep in thought. The conveyor belt suddenly stopped spitting out cherries. "Well it looks like our job is done!" Sonata said cheerfully.
Adagio and Aria were still gloomy. Lost in space they walked up to their room to go to bed early. Confused Sonata went outside to think in the cherry orchard.
