Interviews with Residents of Ponyville.
I - Interviewer
DD - Ditzy Doo
I - So what can you tell me about the Apple family?
DD - Oh, they get so much mail! Sometimes I need a bag just for them, especially when there’s a birthday or Hearth’s Warming or something. Their family is huge! Nice ponies, though. Applejack even stood up for me when some ponies were teasing me about my eyes. I get a lot of teasing sometimes.
I - What can you tell me about McIntosh Apple in particular? Do you know him well?
DD - Big Mac? Oh, he’s really really nice! Dunno if I could say I know him all that well, though. He’s so quiet all the time.
I - So he keeps to himself?
DD - Oh yeah. I mean he comes into town some times, he’s always happy to help out if you need a hoof but he always treats everypony the same, even me.
I - What exactly do you mean?
DD - Well...half the mares in Ponyville have a thing for him, you know (At this point DD ducks her head, trying to hide a blush). I even asked him out once but he turned me down. He was super nice about it, though. He always turns everypony down since… Uhm. Never mind.
I - Since?
DD - I...probably shouldn’t say anything more. I shouldn’t have said that. I was just a filly at the time and it’s his story to tell. Everypony you talk to has a different opinion on it anyway, and Mama always told me it was rude to spread gossip. Anyway, I’ve got my round to finish so I need to get going! Hey, is my picture going to be in the paper? Do I get a free muffin or anything for talking to you?
