"Sorry Rainbow," AJ repeated. "Granny Smith's pies are an apple family secret."

"Come on, please?" Rainbow pleaded. "I pinkie promise I won't tell anypony else! I'll do anything! Come on!"

"Why do you want it so bad anyway?" AJ asked. "Since when are YOU of all ponies into baking? You use to say it was for sissies."

This question caught Rainbow off guard, and she paused for a moment trying to think of a response. She scratched the back of her head with one hoof.

"Oh, well, um... well I just thought your pies were so good last time I had one... and I- thought it would be cool to... be able to have it whenever I want, ya know?" She smiled, hoping AJ would buy it.

"Uh-huh," AJ replied sarcastically. She was not buying it. "It's a boy, ain't it?"

"Ppppttt!" Rainbow snorted, forcing a laugh, "What?" She tried to laugh, but AJ kept glaring at her. There was no point in trying to lie to her.

"Okay, yeah, it's a boy," Rainbow admitted. "How'd ya guess?"

"I know ya, Rainbow," AJ replied. "The only reason you'd ever take an interest in baking would be to impress some colt."

This statement angered Rainbow a little. "Hey, he's NOT just some colt!" She snapped. "He's a stallion... and a wonderbolt." She quickly calmed down after that. "And he really like's your family's apple pie. So I wanna make him one."

"Aw, well ain't that sweet," AJ smirked. "Alright come on. Let's go talk to Granny Smith 'bout this."
