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

Golden Quill awoke with a start when someone was knocking on his kitanda room door. He rolled out of kitanda 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 wewe stay up half the night kusoma those stupid romance novels again?" Golden Quill's face flushed a bright pink. "No, what would make wewe 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 zaidi 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 apple 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 wewe been up to? An' whose this?" she alisema gesturing to Aqua Marine. "Thiiiiiiiiis," alisema 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." applejack was about to say something, but then Pinkie shouted, "Now let's go see Fluttershy!!!!!" and started hopping away. applejack just shrugged and went back to the orchard.
