As Aqua Marine and Pinkie Pie were hoofing their way to Sweet 林檎, アップル Acres, there was something going on in Canterlot, in Celestia's castle.

Golden Quill awoke with a start when someone was knocking on his ベッド room door. He rolled out of ベッド with a thump on the floor. He slowly crawled to the door and stood up. He opened the door and saw his magic teacher, Princess Celestia herself standing there. "What?" he asked irritably. "I've been knocking on your door for ages. Did あなた stay up half the night 読書 those stupid romance novels again?" Golden Quill's face flushed a bright pink. "No, what would make あなた think that???" he quickly said. "Oh well, it doesn't matter. It's time for your magic lessons." as they were walking down the hall, Celestia stopped. "You need to take on もっと見る responsibility, you're a prince, not a foal." he stood there for a moment, and trotted after her.

Aqua Marine and Pinkie Pie neared Sweet 林檎, アップル Acres, she heard somepony kicking trees. Somepony trotted out of the trees, carrying two bushels of apples. She was orange, with green eyes and freckles. Her mane was blonde, and she wore a cowboy hat. "Hey, Pinkie. What've あなた been up to? An' whose this?" she 発言しました gesturing to Aqua Marine. "Thiiiiiiiiis," 発言しました Pinkie, exaggerating the word, 'this', "is Aqua Marine. She's new here." Aqua Marine looked shyly away. "Well, hi there, Aqua Marine, i'm Applejack." Aqua Marine blinked and said, "Hi." アップルジャック, applejack was about to say something, but then Pinkie shouted, "Now let's go see Fluttershy!!!!!" and started hopping away. アップルジャック, applejack just shrugged and went back to the orchard.
