This story is a sequel to The Apple Jamboree
At the end of the Apple Jamboree, Babs Seed ran off into the night to join John Songsmith, to become his apprentice and perhaps one day a true bard.
She didn't tell anyone she was leaving.
He didn't think to ask her if they knew.
After a few hours, she realized her mistake. And when she got back, Applejack was waiting...
(Chronology note: this story takes place during season six, after that years’ Nightmare Night. If you have not already read The Apple Jamboree, please read it first. )
Chapters (1)
More a final chapter than a story in its own right, but still quite fun. I'm going to guess that Babs calls Applejack her aunt because of the age difference. That or the Apple family tree is even more complicated than I thought, even with this data in mind.

Mostly it’s the age difference. Technically, yeah, they’re cousins. But Applejack has been a mother figure to Apple Bloom for so long, it just kind of fell into place for them both. Kind of the same way that Pinkie Pie is an Apple.
This got me totally excited for Babs. And it’ll definitely be good for John. Help him learn the more modern ways and such.
And now I’m sad because I’ve caught up. But I do have my own stories to write, so it’s probably a good thing. This stuff is gooooooood. And I’m super happy to wait and keep reading.

I’m glad you enjoyed the journey! If you like, there is also the other sister timeline to explore and the pre-series tales.
But if they are not your cup of tea, no harm and no foul. And of course, I understand the desire to focus on one’s own writing, too. I’m in that place myself.
