Back at Sweet Apple Acres, Granny Smith, Big Mac, and Applebloom were waiting for them.

"Did you find her?", Granny asked with concern.

"Yeah, we found her, Granny. Safe and sound.", Applejack replied.

"Daddy and Applejack are getting married!", Emily cheered, hopping around.

"Wow! Really? That means Skye will be our brother! What do you think, Big Mac?", Applebloom exclaimed, turning to Big Mac.

Big Mac smiled, "I think it's about time AJ found herself a stallion and settled down. Nice job, Skye. Most stallions have a hard time getting a hold of AJ's heart."

Applejack retorted, "Hey! I don't see ya talking to Cheerilee! I thought you two were a couple!"

"We are. We're just taking it a lot more slowly than most ponies do.", he laughed, putting his arm around his sister.

"Well, it's good that you found a special somepony, who loves you back.", Granny smiled.

Applebloom grinned at Emily, "Hey, Emily! Do you wanna come play with us? We're going to the park!"

Emily looked at her father, "Can I?"

Skye smiled, "Sure! Just be back in time for lunch!"

"I will!", she grinned, giving him a spectral smile.

Applejack looked at him, "You're letting her go? After all that fuss?"

Skye sighed, as Granny handed out glasses of cider, "I didn't want her to not know the truth. Not knowing the truth can be very hurtful to ponies."

Applejack started chuckling nervously, "Haha...uhh...yeah...remember that one night about 2 months ago? Well, I went to the doctor last week...and it turns out that I'm pregnant...with your child. Don't get mad at me...please..."

He coughed and gagged before exclaiming, "What?! But...oh...now I remember...you were wearing that perfume...also, why would I get mad at you?"

"Because I didn't tell you...a week ago. But hey! We're getting married, right? So there's that too.", she sighed.

"Well, it'd be alright. I already have one illegitimate daughter. I was hoping to fix that...but...you know...hey...I'm going for a little ride...I'll be back for lunch...bye!", Skye replied, stuttering as he spoke.

In about 5 minutes flat, he was in the air, flying towards the Everfree.

"Oh dear...I think I scared him off...", Applejack sighed.

Granny said to her in a comforting voice, "Oh, dearie, you didn't scare him away. He'll come back. It's just a lot for him to take in, he needed to go clear his mind."

"And if he doesn't come back...I'll drag his sorry flank back to Sweet Apple Acres!", Big Mac declared.

"Thanks, Big Mac. But I don't think that'll be necessary. I trust Skye. He'll be back.", she sighed, tears forming in her eyes.

Applejack...pregnant...Emily...a dead, illegitimate daughter...Mandy...an ex girlfriend and Emily's mother. It was too much for Skye. He thought he knew what confused was, until now.

"Skye, my treacherous friend...you should really watch your tail...you're getting rusty.", said a voice behind him.

He turned to find none other than the Red Baroness, in her blood red triplane.

"Mandy...", he growled, what do you want?"

"Oh, Skye! You're still not mad about that...are you?", she asked, smiling slyly at him.

"You drowned our Emily! Of course I'm still mad! I could probably kill you right now if I wanted to.", he snarled.

"Hey! That little bastard didn't know her place! Besides, you never wanted to kill me. You may think you do, but you don't. You're not that kinda guy...you just a pacifist. Always have been, always will be.", she shouted.

"Don't you dare call her that!"

"Listen, I was thinking we could get back together...forget everything and start over. What do you think?", Mandy grinned, her scarf rustling in the wind .

"I swear, if you don't leave in about 3 seconds...I'm going to kill you on the spot!", Skye growled, "I'm happy with Applejack, and that's the way it's going to stay!"

She smiled, "Fine, but if you change your mind. You know where to find me..."

Afterwards, Skye was alone. In the sky, he was going back to Applejack.
