“Pinkie. Is my barn upside-down and full of water?”
“Not yet!” Pinkie said.
"… After all, I only just now found Horace!"
"Horace."
Pinkie whipped a small cardboard box out from behind her mane. Adrenaline seized Applejack by the throat.
"Blorp," the small purple figure inside warbled.
"Pinkie," Applejack said slowly.
"Yes?"
"We've talked about this, Pinkie."
"But …"
"No, Pinkie. We talked about this. You Pinkie Promised."
"But the Barnquarium —"
"No, Pinkie. Give me the box."
"But —"
"The box."
Pinkie Pie's hair wilted. She slid the box over to Applejack.
"Blorp," Horace said.

Applejack tapped one hoof against her chin, then picked up a pen.
"For sale," she wrote. "Baby Smooze. Never barned." [1]
