Later on, the Kent family was invited inside of the Apple house.
"And this here is our little home," Granny Smith told Jonathon and Martha as she walked them inside. "Ah stay here with my li'l grandponies~"
"It must be hard to raise them alone." Johnathan replied.
"Oh, it can be, but Ah raised their father..." Granny Smith nodded. "Ah wasn't sure Ah could do it myself at times, but my heart and strength helped me, especially with Apple Bloom being a foal when Ah had to take 'em in."
"So, what happened to their parents?" Johnathan asked.
Granny Smith heaved a sharp sigh. "Come with me."
Jonathon and Martha nodded and followed her into the living room as Granny Smith sat on the couch and allowed them to join her.
"Ah'm afraid my son and daughter-in-law met with some grave consequences..." Granny Smith said as this was never easy to discuss.
Johnathan and Martha frowned as they had a sinking feeling that they knew what might have happened to the Apple parents. Granny Smith brought out an old photograph of the parents of her grandchildren.
"Your son seems handsome, Mrs. Smith." Martha said softly.
"Ah, yes..." Granny Smith smiled peacefully. "Took after his dad he did~" She soon turned the page and which showed the wedding photo.
"Ooh..." Martha beamed to the wedding image.
"The big day..." Granny Smith chuckled. "Not sure who had colder hooves."
"Looks like a simple wedding." Johnathan smiled.
"Indeedy..." Granny Smith nodded.
The rest of the time, Granny Smith kept on showing them more photos. Jonathon and Martha smiled as they watched Granny Smith's photos, they laughed at some funny moments and smiled at very sweet times that Apple Bloom, Applejack, and Big Mac's parents shared within the other photos of the extended Apple family members.
"This one's ta die fer." Granny Smith said, pointing to Baby Applejack who had eaten some apple fritters.
"Aw!" Martha smiled.
Granny Smith chuckled in memory from that one. However, soon, the pictures got a little dark and sad as Granny Smith looked unhappy with her grandchildren as their parents had died, and it was a very sad sight for everyone, even for Jonathon and Martha even if they never knew the Apple parents themselves.
They soon started to unpack, and where with Clark, it was easy. Apple Bloom walked by and poked her head in, looking at Clark curiously. She was surprised with how fast and how strong he was.
"There we go..." Clark smiled as he stood up on two legs and put his front hooves on his hips, because of instinct.
Apple Bloom looked at him funny for doing that.
Clark looked back and saw her before going back on all fours. "Oh, hello there." he then greeted the young filly.
"How did ya do that all so fast and able to carry those without strugglin'?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Well, I'm pretty strong and agile." Clark smiled.
"Well, I'm pretty strong and agile." Clark smiled.
"You said it." Apple Bloom said.
"What's your name, little lady?" Clark smiled.
"Ah'm Apple Bloom." Apple Bloom smiled back.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Apple Bloom," Clark smiled. "I hope we can become friends since I'm gonna be living here now."
"Ah have a feeling we will." Apple Bloom smiled back.
"Such a sweet girl..." Clark smiled.
"Thank ya." Apple Bloom giggled bashfully and thankfully.
"I bet you're the kind of girl that all the colts have crushes on in school." Clark then smirked.
"Well, Ah'm kinda spoken for." Apple Bloom blushed.
"Oh, is that right?" Clark smiled.
"Ah'll invite him over sometime!" Apple Bloom replied. "Ah'm sure he'd be glad to meet ya!"
"And I'm sure I'd be happy to meet him too." Clark smiled.
Apple Bloom smiled back. "Um, Ah'll let ya settle in if ya need to."
"I'd like to, but I'm not sure which room I'm going to be sleeping in." Clark said.
"Oh, Granny didn't tell ya?" Apple Bloom replied.
"Guess not," Clark shrugged. "Any spare rooms in this place?"
"The only ones are kinda taken, and Ah think Granny said that you were going to be sharing a room with Applejack." Apple Bloom said.
This caused Clark to blush after hearing that. "C-C-C-C-Come again?" He blushed.
"Ya can share with Applejack," Apple Bloom repeated. "Her bed's big enough for two ponies."
This caused Clark to blush even more. "Oh, my..." He gulped.
"WAIT, WHAT?!" Applejack's voice yelped.
"Uh..." Apple Bloom blinked as she felt confused of why Clark and Applejack reacted the way they did.
The first night was rather awkward for Applejack and Clark while both families had dinner. Big Mac decided to help serve everyone as they sat down together and Applejack and Clark were sitting beside each other. Although they didn't intentionally mean to sit beside each other.
"Hope yer hungry." Granny Smith smiled to her guests.
"Always." Jonathon chuckled to the elderly mare.
"He really is always hungry," Martha smirked playfully.
Jonathon smiled bashfully, but he couldn't really deny it.
"Always makes me happy to see folks dinin' together, reminds me of the good 'ol reunions and back when Ah was a filly." Granny Smith smiled.
The family was soon served by Big Mac.
"Thank ya, Big Mac, such a gentlecolt." Granny Smith smiled.
"Yup." Big Mac smiled to his grandmother.
Once everyone was served, they soon all ate. Since everyone was mostly hungry, they spent more time eating than talking and decided to save that for later. After they finished their meal, they could now talk.
"Well, this isn't too different from where we moved from... I mean, aside from the people..." Martha chuckled sheepishly.
"You're right about that." Granny Smith smiled.
"Yup." Big Mac said.
"Uh, you don't talk much, do you?" Martha asked him.
"Nope." Big Mac shook his head.
"That answers that question." Johnathan said.
"Sorry about him, Big Mac's a little shy." Apple Bloom told the Kent family.
"Understandable." Martha said.
Big Mac smiled sheepishly to the Kent family.
"It's okay, Big Mac, you can be patient with us." Martha soothed.
"That's right." Johnathan nodded.
Big Mac smiled as he loved the Kent parents so far and they smiled back to him peacefully. Krypto and Winona seemed too distracted by each other to notice or do anything else, such as eating their own food as they were too into each other.
"Aww~" Apple Bloom smiled at the scene.
Everyone else soon took a look and smiled while awwing at the two dogs. Krypto and Winona both soon blushed.
A while after dinner, instead of a game, everybody just decided to get some sleep because it was a big day for all of them.
"So, uh, this is my room." Applejack told Clark.
"It's... Nice," Clark replied before seeing how big the bed was. "Whoa, Apple Bloom wasn't kidding when she said that your bed was big enough for two ponies."
"Oh, uh, yeah..." Applejack replied bashfully. "Ah guess Ah never thought 'bout that before."
The two of them soon went into the bed.
"Comfy." Clark smiled.
"Yeah... It is..." Applejack smiled back. "G'night, Clark."
"Good night, Applejack, sweet dreams." Clark nodded.
The rest of the night was peaceful for both families. Eventually, everyone fell asleep. Winona soon barked to Krypto with a smile, and he barked back to her, and the two went to sleep together like their owners, and where this would just be the one of many things they would do together.
"I sure hope Clark and Applejack are happy right now..." Atticus smiled to himself. "That wasn't so hard."
"You're going to have to help him reveal his powers to everyone in Ponyville since they won't you know feel like he's a threat... Or I could be wrong, but we'll just have to test the theory." Drell told him as he appeared.
"Do you seriously have to do that?" Atticus asked as he narrowed his eyes out of annoyance.
"Eh, it's the only way I know how to make an entrance," Drell shrugged. "Oh, before I forget, there's going to be carnival games in Ponyville the next day."
"Oh, you are worse than Celestia with Twilight," Atticus face-hoofed. "You're probably the reason why Cherry has a panic attack every other day!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Drell rolled his eyes.
The next day soon came. Everyone on the farm was woken up by a rooster crow and soon came down.
"Where's Clark and Applejack?" Martha wondered as she came to join the family to breakfast, but two people were missing.
"They must still be in bed." Johnathan said.
"Ah'll go wake 'em." Apple Bloom offered, about to go upstairs and do that. Once she arrived at Applejack's and now Clark's bedroom, she saw that the two were still asleep and were holding each other in their sleep. This made her eyes grow wide and she looked frozen in place at what she had witnessed.
Big Mac came into the room after some time and saw why Apple Bloom was frozen in place. Applejack and Clark soon woke up and looked over to see Big Mac smirking and Apple Bloom was still jaw-dropped, she was just a child after all.
"What?" Clark and Applejack asked before they saw that they were holding each other. This made them both blush and Big Mac couldn't help but chuckle.
"Big Mac!" Applejack complained. "Quit it!"
"Anyway, it's time for breakfast." Big Mac smirked.
"Yeah, yeah..." Applejack replied.
Big Mac soon walked away, then pulled Apple Bloom by her tail to make her follow after him.
"A-Ah'm so sorry, Clark, Ah guess Ah got cold..." Applejack nervously told Clark.
"I-It's okay." Clark smiled nervously.
The two soon dropped out of bed. Applejack came to the mirror and took off her night cap and then put on her cowgirl hat.
"Nice hat," Clark smiled. "Have you always had it?"
"My dad gave it to me." Applejack smiled back.
"I can't wait to meet him." Clark smiled back.
Applejack's smile soon disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Clark frowned as he noticed that.
"He's not here." Applejack frowned back.
"Oh... Um... Is he away on business?" Clark asked.
Applejack looked at him, she had only known him overnight, but she felt like she could tell him anything. "He and Mom are gone... Forever."
Clark frowned as he already knew what that meant.
Applejack soon sat back down on the bed. "They had an order..." she then said. "It was very important for them to make it, so of course they had ta go."
"What happened to them?" Clark frowned.
"There was an accident..." Applejack sighed sharply.
Clark knew this had to be hard for Applejack. Applejack soon told Clark about when her parents had to go cross a bridge to make a pie delivery, but the bridge was unstable and they were unable to survive.
"I'm so sorry for your loss." Clark frowned.
"I-It's alright..." Applejack replied. "It's hard to think 'bout sometimes, but we're alright. The Apple Family Reunion always brings a smile to our muzzles though, 'specially when Granny Smith gets to spend some time with Auntie Applesauce and Apple Rose."
They soon heard each other's stomach's growl.
"Come on now, it's chow time." Applejack told Clark.
"Right..." Clark nodded and followed her out the room to get something to eat.
Once they joined everyone at the table, they could all eat now. After a quick prayer, everyone soon began to eat breakfast all together, and after breakfast, it was time for chores, and where it was be easy with how strong and fast Clark was.
"Like I said, we're used to this." Jonathon smiled to Granny Smith.
"And Ah'm glad to hear that," Granny Smith smiled back. "So, Clark you'll be handling harvesting apples."
"Alright, that doesn't sound too hard." Clark smiled to the elderly mare. He soon saw how large the orchard was, and where it would have been hard for most ponies.
"Okay, this might be a challenge..." he said to himself.
Big Mac soon bucked a tree, making the apples fall into a barrel.
"You make that look so easy..." Clark said to him.
Big Mac soon began to explain how to buck a tree to make the apples fall.
Clark nodded as he then came up to another tree and tried to do the same and a few apples came down. "Hey, I did it!" he then smiled. "And that was just half of my strength."
Big Mac chuckled to that.
"I don't wanna overdo it..." Clark smiled sheepishly. "I might send one of your trees to the moon."
Big Mac chuckled again, not believing Clark could be that strong.
"Trust me, Big Mac..." Clark told him.
Big Mac just shrugged as he did his part in his home. Clark soon went back to bucking the trees, and where more apples fell down to the barrels. Big Mac smiled as they harvested the apples for their chores.
"Mm... Ah do wish Ah could let ya folks try some Zap Apple Jam, but Zap Apples aren't in season yet." Granny Smith said to Jonathon and Martha as she came into the barn.
"I see..." Jonathon replied. "It sounds wonderful whatever it is."
"Ah, yes, it's very divine," Granny Smith smiled. "Ah just love preparin'."
They soon smelled an awful smell, and where the Apple family knew what that meant.
"Ugh... What is that, Mrs. Smith?" Jonathon groaned, trying to plug his nose as he looked like he was going to be sick.
"Timberwolves," Granny Smith said. "But don't worry, they're not all-"
Suddenly, a timberwolf leaped through the air which made Johnathon and Martha very nervous at first and it landed on all fours while glancing and seemed menacing and bloodthirsty. At least, to the eyes of the Kent parents.
"Timber, must you do that?" Granny Smith smirked playfully.
"Sorry, ma'am, can't help it." Timber smiled sheepishly.
Jonathon and Martha looked very confused now.
"Apple Bloom should be done with her chores soon." Granny Smith smiled to the young timberwolf.
"That's great." Timber smiled before seeing how confused Johnathan and Martha looked and didn't exactly know them.
"Oh, where are my manners?" Granny Smith smiled. "Timber, these are Martha and Johnathon Kent, they just moved here last night with their son. Martha, Johnathon, this is Timber, he's a veeery close and good friend of Apple Bloom's~"
Timber seemed to blush with a smile.
Apple Bloom soon came out with a smile and gasped while smiling brighter. "Howdy, Timber!"
"Hi, Apple Bloom." Timber smiled back to her.
The two of them nuzzled each other before they kissed.
"So, uh, new neighbors?" Timber asked about the Kent family.
"Kinda sorta, they're goin' to be livin' with us." Apple Bloom shrugged.
"I see..." Timber replied.
"Ah was 'bout to go see the girls, wanna come?" Apple Bloom invited.
"I'd love to." Timber smiled.
"Great!" Apple Bloom smiled back. "Granny, we're goin' into town!"
"Have fun, Half-Pint." Granny Smith beamed for her.
Apple Bloom and Timber soon went off into town. Granny Smith smiled and let them go off as she decided to show Jonathon and Martha around Sweet Apple Acres.
