There are many peaceful places in Equestria, and Sweet Apple Acres would likely be described as one of the most peaceful ones. But it is a fact of life that no safety is guaranteed. And the Acres were no exception to that rule.

On the first night of Zap Apple season, a fire broke out in the orchard, forcing Applejack’s parents, Bright Mac and Pear Butter, to rush out to combat it to save the farm. On any other night, this would have been the end to the danger for them. But as it stood, the timber wolves found them, and had them trapped. They would have died that night…

If it weren’t for the help of a young dragon.
