It's coming up for Mother's Day in Ponyville — which just so happens to be the same day Ariane Apple gets back from a visit to her family in Manehatten.
But her absence won't prevent Applejack and Big Macintosh from making the necessary preparations to make sure that she has the best day ever.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Joint winner for the UK of Equestria's Bi-Monthly Fanfiction Writing Contest, the theme for which was Mother's Day (as if that wasn't obvious enough).
