Chapter 1

It was a bright sunny day in Ponyville. Everypony was enjoying the day the Solar Princess brought. It was especially so over at Sweet Apple Acres. You see, not only had there been a much bigger haul than usual, but Big Macintosh was celebrating his 23rd birthday in 2 weeks.

Big Macintosh is a stallion of few words, but is very kind. He has an amaranth coat, moderate sap green eyes, an orange mane and a matching tail which he cuts short, and wears his father's yoke around his neck. He has a green apple sliced in half for a cutie mark, and has the same freckles as his sister Applejack.

Applejack is not only one of Big Macintosh's younger sisters, but a member of the Mane 6 and the Element of Honesty. She has a gamboge coat, the same eye color as her brother, and a Pale light grayish olive mane. She wears her father's Stetson, and her cutie mark is 3 red apples in a triangle.

Big Macintosh and Applejack were storing their haul in the silo, to save for recipes and what not.

Once they were finished, they went back to the main house where Granny Smith and Apple Bloom were waiting for them.

Granny Smith, as her name suggests, is Big Macintosh, Applejack, and Apple Bloom's grandmother. She has a Light lime green coat, Light brilliant orange eyes, a light gray mane, wears an orange scarf with apples on it, and has an apple pie for a cutie mark.

Apple Bloom is the youngest member of the Apple family and the leader of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. She has a pale light grayish olive coat, her grandmother's eyes, a brilliant amaranth mane, and wears her mother's light brilliant crimson bow. She, much to her chagrin, still has yet to earn her cutie mark.

[Cue theme song]

There was a table set up for dinner. You name the apple treat, it was there. Big Macintosh took some food and ate it as he hadn't eaten in years.

Applejack noticed this, and swallowed her apple fritter before speaking.

"Whoa, hey now, Big brother! I know we apple bucked all day and you're probably hungry, but we don't need you choking."

Apple Bloom was shocked at her sister's words.

"Probably hungry?! Look at how he was eatin'!"

Granny Smith glared at Apple Bloom, and began to rub Big Macintosh's head in circles while he was eating and telling him soothing things, causing a silly grin to appear on his face.

The small family continued their meal in silence. Once everyone was finished eating and clearing the table, Big Macintosh excused himself to his room for a nap, buying AppleJack time to fill Granny Smith in on a plan she has for her brother's birthday party.
