“Good morning, Ponyville! Welcome to the 110th Annual Winter Wrap Up!” the mayor of Ponyville, Sparkling Cider, announced.
“We need everypony’s help to bring spring. We need help with animals, plants, and weather.
"Those of you wearing tan vests for animal work will go to Butterfly Magnolia.” Sparkling said, motioning to a dark pink Pegasus with a blue mane and tail.
“If you’re wearing green vests for plant work, go to Mint Orange,” the mayor said, pointing her hoof to a muscular 25-year-old orange Earth Pony with a green mane and tail.
Sparkling turned to Sweet Apple, her 23-year-old daughter. “Honey, you go over there,” she said to Sweet Apple.
The Earth Pony grudgingly trudged over to Mint Orange. Sweet Apple didn’t want to participate in Winter Wrap Up.
“And those of you wearing blue vests for weather work, go to Flitter Wonder,” the mayor said, and pointed to a blue Pegasus with a blonde mane and tail.
“Okay. Get to work, everypony!” Sparkling said.
The ponies working with plants planted seeds for fruits, vegetables, trees, and flowers.
Sweet Apple really didn’t do anything. She just sat there watching the ponies work and told them what to and not to do.
“Isn’t that Mayor Sparkling Cider’s daughter?” a pony whispered.
“Yes. She’s nothing like her mother. While her mother is hard-working, she’s lazy and bossy.” another pony answered.
That’s when Sweet Apple saw Mint Orange. He was working the hardest out of all the ponies.
Something inside Sweet Apple snapped. She was in love with Mint Orange.
To impress him, she started working as hard as him. The others were surprised.
“She’s actually working!” one whispered.
“Wow. I wonder what happened to make that happen?” another wondered aloud.
At the end of Winter Wrap Up, Mint Orange spoke with Sweet Apple.
“That was surprising of you. Nopony expected that.”
“Expected what?”
“For you to start working.”
“Oh. Yeah. Hey, do you want to come over? For dinner?”
“Sure! Can’t wait to see you there!”
Sweet Apple couldn't wait.
I may have a chance with the most handsome stallion in all of Equestria!
