It had been 6 months since Fluttershy and Big Mac had started dating, every month on the day they got together, Big Mac would get Fluttershy a new present. Big Mac was still planning the perfect time to purpose. He asked his family if they could sell 10 times as much cider this year so he could use some money to by a diamond for Fluttershy. Fluttershy, who wanted to marry Big Mac so badly, tried to sell as many pets to as many ponies as possible, so she could have enough money to, if he purposed, buy a fancy wedding dress. "Hey AJ, how come you put off cider season today?" Twilight asked Applejack, who was now old enough to fulfill her talent, own Sweet Apple Acres, though Granny was still alive and well. "It's 5 in the mornin' Twi! Why're ya here?!" AJ asked. "Pinkie wouldn't leave me alone so I told her I'd come here quickly to ask you so she'd stop annoying me." Twilight explained. "Well, ya see…" AJ said as she pulled Twilight aside. "My brother wants to produce more cider than ever, so we can earn more money, so he can use some to by a diamond for Fluttershy, he's gonna purpose!" Applejack whispered, almost in tears. Twilight put her hoof to her mouth "That's great news! Does Fluttershy know though?" Twilight managed to say out of her huge smile. "I know! But, no Fluttershy is too obsessed with getting enough money to pay for a fancy wedding dress she asked rarity too make, though she didn't listen to Rarity, when she said she would make it for free." Applejack chuckled. "Well, how much is the diamond?" Twi asked "2000 bits…" AJ said as Twilight gasped, "You'll have to be a top productivity to make that much and still be able to keep business afloat…hmm" Twilight said and started to do what she was best at, think, "How about we help? So we can do what we did when Flim and Flam were here? We made enough for everyone, so if we can work even harder, I think we can have enough for seconds!" Twilight said enthusiastically "That's good, but who will help me with the trees? We can't let Fluttershy know about this!" AJ said "I'll help you with the trees, I have wings now, remember? And I really didn't do much last time anyway. We have a whole day this time though, not only an hour." Twi said smiling. "I'll gather the ponies while you wake Granny, Apple Bloom, and Big Mac, and set up, according to my calculations we have 19 hours before midnight which means if I can get each pony over her in-" "Just go!" Applejack interrupted pushing her friend out the door.

Twilight went to Sugar Cube Corner first to reassure Pinkie cider season would start and to tell her what happened. "Ooh! I wanna host the reception!" Pinkie whisper screamed out then ran out the door to the farm. The she went to carousel boutique, though Rarity already knew about Fluttershy she didn't know about cider season or the diamond. Lastly she quietly flew over Fluttershy's cottage to Rainbow's cloud home and soon all five of them were at Sweet Apple Acres bucking, smelling, and crushing apples to make Equestria's best apple cider. They really were at top apple productivity, making more than a barrel a minute according to Twilight. Hours went past, they only had time for a 10 minute lunch if they wanted to make enough cider to meet the standards that Big Mac said they had to have if they wanted to have enough money to keep business afloat and afford the beautiful diamond he wanted to buy for his very special somepony. By the end of the day they had to store some of the cider barrels in the barn to have them all fit without spreading them out through the farm. "Hey, AJ, are you sure you have enough for seconds for every pony? I mean last cider season after we beat Flim and Flam I still didn't get any cider…" Rainbow asked her friend in the morning. "Here Rainbow…" Applejack said giving her friend the first cup of cider. "Thanks!" Rainbow said, giving Applejack 2 bits. AJ who would usually let her friend keep it for free had to charge her friends during cider season to keep the farm from closing, or else she would lose 12 bits! "For the first time I don't see Pinkie in front of the line!" Rainbow said, her smile growing. "Yeah, she's sleeping, she's still pretty pooped from yesterday, she's not used to this much work, her legs are gonna be real sore." AJ explained to Rainbow Dash who was too embarrassed to admit that her legs were sore, she was used to working out her wings, not legs! In about an hour every pony in Ponyville and some of Cloudsdale had arrived to taste the best cider in Equestria, which they heard about from fliers all over town.

"Hmmm…ya think we have enough for seconds?" AJ asked nervously. "Of course! I mean the barrels would've filled the whole farm if we hadn't found space in the barn!" Twilight reassured her friend. Applejack took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, she had no idea why she was so nervous, if anything her brother should be the one in a wreck. She guessed that she was just excited for him. When cider season started Fluttershy asked how the Apples made so much cider, and Applejack couldn't tell her the others had helped, or she would've given away why, so she did what she hated doing most, lying. "Uh…we…uh…started working a week earlier than we normally do this year…yeah! And…um we…did our best to improve supply this year!" she said, the last part she didn't have to struggle to say, since it was the only true thing about the sentence she had just said. After they sold every pony at least one up of their famous cider, ponies took a break and some bought apple pies to go with their drinks. A few hours later the crowd came back to get seconds, and surprisingly enough the Apples had made enough for thirds!

The nest day Big Mac went early to the store, so no one saw him buying he diamond, he bought a large pink gem that he thought complemented Fluttershy's eyes. He put the gem in a gold necklace chain, to make the whole thing one big beautiful necklace. He arrived at Fluttershy's cottage soon enough, he knocked on the door. He was basically bowing with one hoof out holding the necklace. When she opened the door she gasped. "Fluttershy, will you be my very special somepony…forever?" He asked "Eeyup!" she answered in tears.

Soon they were married, it turned out Fluttershy didn't have to pay for the beautiful dress she wore when she walked down the aisle, but just told the ponies who complemented her gown to go to Carousel Boutique if they wanted to own clothing this nice. The wedding was wonderful, Applejack baked some of her best desserts for the wedding. She was crying almost more than Fluttershy did when Big Mac purposed! A few months later Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, Rainbow, and Rarity were waiting in the living room of the barn as they waited for Fluttershy and Big Mac to tell them the urgent news. "Come on!" Rainbow screamed out "Tell us!" Pinkie yelled impatiently at the 2 ponies who just kept smiling at each other. "Yes, please do get on with it, I have an outfit for a very important client I need to be working on." Rarity said getting fed up, but still stayed lady-like. The room was bursting with noise, but AJ and Twilight were sitting still, eager, but patient to here the news. "I'm pregnant." Fluttershy said out of her smile. The room was silent for a few minutes, Fluttershy and Big Mac were getting nervous to how long their friends were taking to process this happy news. Soon the room erupted with woo-hooing and loud whistling and clapping. "So…is it a filly or a colt?!" Pinkie asked eagerly. "It's a..."
