For all the triumphs and tribulations the Crusaders have faced through the years, it's commonly known they consider themselves sisters between each other.

When a certain day arrives for Applebloom though, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are asked if they'd like to meet their sister's parents, unknowing of the forever lasting impact on their bond in friendship.

Starlight Glimmer finds a spell that can bring ponies back from the dead for one day, from sunrise to sunset on the next day. As a surprise for the Apples, she decides to bring back Applejack, Apple Bloom, and Big Macintosh’s parents for a day.

This is the first installment in the Perfect Pear Chronicles.

Just because Bright Mac and Pear Butter are dead doesn't mean they're gone.

Far from it.

I've spent twelve years as a nurse, now. Nurse Redheart, helping the ailing ponies of Ponyville, caring for them all. Twelve years! So many memories, so many regrets. And yet one night, a decade ago, I remember with particular sorrow - for on that one, terrible night, I failed...

Granny Smith is making sure her grandfoals are okay through these troubled times. She’s keeping everything in apple-pie order for them.

She’s perfectly fine. She’s doing it for them.

Big Macintosh knows himself. He knows how life works on the farm. And he definitely knows that ponies don’t return once their lives are over.

But when somepony Big Mac doesn’t expect begins appearing at Sweet Apple Acres, he finds the biggest questions lie not with the visitor, but with himself.

Big Mac is an ordinary country boy. Even though his little sister gained magical super powers, he's managed to stay out of most of the weirdness. But things go pear-shaped after he starts spending more time with his physics teacher, Dr. Discord. Thanks to Dr. Discord's time machine, Big Mac becomes stranded in the year 1993, and that's not even the strangest part.

No, the strangest part is that his mom keeps flirting with him.

It's the anniversary of a very important day in Apple family history. Important, but tragic. Granny locks herself in her room, reminiscing about what happened that day and why none of her grandchildren will ever be told the true tale.

An honest farmer in love with a mare, who's family is a rival to his. A wannabe sports star with his biggest, and loudest, cheerleader. A coach to a local sports team with a very motherly baker. A Rock Farmer trying to find out if he wants to follow his family's tradition or be something else and an inner city mare forced to go to a small & quiet town. An accountant searching for a new business with a student from Celestia's school for gifted fillies. And a local cloud worker with a silent admirer that wants him to notice her.

This is just the beginning of who they are, the type of shenanigans they get into, and how they became who they are today.
