Braeburn always enjoyed working with apples. In reality, it's all he knew. He didn't, however, appreciate the long, hard hours of labor and the fact his family never seemed to notice all the efforts he put into the orchard. One day, however, he sleeps past his stop on a train ride, only to wind up in the small town of Dodge Junction. There, he meets a nice group of ponies, and discovers an environment he may just enjoy more than his previous one.

I've been away from everybody in Equestria for so long now... Thirty moons ago I left, and now, here I am, being blessed with the opportunity to go back to the place I loved so much...
