It is once again morning in Ponyville as Twilight and the other start to each wake up.

Twilight: Good morning Everypony.

Applejack: Morning.

Rainbow Dash: So what are we having for breakfast.

Twilight: Hmm, I haven't really thought about it.

Pinkie: I know, I'll make us some pancakes.

AppleJackal: Great idea Pinkie, I'll help you.

Twilight. I'll help out as well.

So as the other ponies wait and Rarity and Fluttershy brush their manes, AppleJackal, Pinkie and Twilight make the pancakes in a very quick amount of time. And before they knew it, they had finished.

Pinkie: Wow, that's has to be some sort of new record of that amount of pancakes created in such a short amount of time.

AppleJackal: Well three ponies are better than just one making them on their own.

Pinkie: That's true.

Twilight: Come on you two, let's start serving the pancakes before they get cold.

AppleJackal and Pinkie: Oh right, sorry!

AppleJackal and Pinkie look at each other and start laughing. And then give everypony their pancakes. The ponies start eating.

Rainbow Dash: Great job on the pancakes guys, they're delicious.

Pinkie: Thanks.

Twilight: So AppleJackal, what kind of job will you be getting now that you're living here in Ponyville.

AppleJackal: Well I was think of doing a lot if jobs.

Pinkie: What do you mean by that?

AppleJackal: Well my main job will be at the farm helping Applejack buck apples and other things. But on the days when I'm not working at the farm, I'll work for other ponies if they need my help.

Fluttershy: Oh, because of your Cutie mark right.

AppleJackal: Yep, exactly.

Applejack: Well today we don't have any work on the farm, but starting from tomorrow, we will be working very hard. Because cider season will be coming up soon.

AppleJackal: I'm ready to work hard.

Applejack: I wouldn't expect anything less from my twin cousin.

As the ponies finish their breakfast Spike rushes through the door and goes straight to Twilight.

Spike: Twilight!

Twilight: Hey Spike, how was it at—

Spike: No time, I got a scroll from Celestia that she will be coming here to speak to all of you, and she says it's something really important.

Twilight: What!?

Twilight starts to get worried and scared.

Twilight: (Panicking) Oh dear, oh dear. I wonder what's so important that she needs to speak to all of us about.

Applejack: Okay Twilight, calm down. Come on, deep breath in and out.

Twilight does what Applejack says and is once again calm and back to normal.

Twilight: Thank you Applejack. Let's all sit down and think about what she might want to talk about, that has her so concerned.

Pinkie: This must be exciting for you AppleJackal, this will be the first time you've seen the Princess up close.

AppleJackal: Yeah, I guess it will be.

The group all gather round sit down to think of reasons of what kind of emergency the princess would need to tell them. But before any of them could think of anything Celestia come enters Twilight's home. And everypony pony bows.

Twilight: Princess Celestia, it's great seeing you again.

Celestia: It's great to see you too Twilight.

Celestia then notices AppleJackal bowing approaches him.

Celestia: Why hello there, I don't believe I have met you.

AppleJackal: Haha probably not. My name is AppleJackal, I'm Applejack's twin cousin and I had just moved into Ponyville yesterday. It's a pleasure meeting you Princess Celestia.

Celestia: I see. It's very nice to meet you too AppleJackal.

Twilight: So what is it you wanted to tell us Princess.

Celestia: Ah  yes. You see, for the past two nights I have been having this nightmare.

Rainbow Dash: What happens in the nightmare?

Celestia: We I start off in a dark room with no exits and then a light start chasing me until I have no stamina left to run trying to find an exit. But then before I wake up, the light goes to attack me. But luckily I wake up before it does.

Twilight: I see.

Celestia: Both Luna and I have agreed that this is no ordinary dream, but maybe a vision or a message.

AppleJackal: What kind of message?

Celestia: That something will happen, and that Equestria could be at stake.

Twilight: What would you like us to do Princess?

Celestia: I want you all to look out for anything that might seem out of the ordinary or could be a danger to Equestria.

Twilight: Princess, you can count on us.

Celestia: Thank you all. For now please do live your lives normally, but when the time arrives I will want you all to take action.

They all nod.

Celestia: Thank you, I will hope to see you all again.

Rarity: So what do we do now?

Twilight: Like the princess said, we continue everything as normal. But if something comes up, we will have to take action.

Everypony nods. After a while everypony starts to leave Twilight's house and are about to make their way home.

Twilight: Okay, goodbye everypony. Remember, if you say anything, come to me and we will see what we can do.

Twilight closes her door and everypony goes their separate ways.

Pinkie: (Nervous) Um AppleJackal, can I walk with you and Applejack. Since Sugar Cube Corner is in the same direction as Sweet Apple Acres.

AppleJackal: Of course, we'd love to have your company.

Pinkie, AppleJackal and Applejack start making their way to Sugar Cube Corner and talk while walking there. After a few minutes, they reach Pinkie's home.

Pinkie: We I guess this is where we go our separate ways for now.

AppleJackal: Yeah, but I'll definitely come visit you when I have the time. And thank you again for the amazing party.

Pinkie: You're very welcome, I'm happy you enjoyed it.

AppleJackal: I guess we both reached our goals at the end of the day.

Pinkie: We sure did.

AppleJackal then walk up to Pinkie and gives her a hug. Surprising Pinkie.

Pinkie: (Thoughts) Oh my, oh my, oh my. He's hugging me. Okay Pinkie calm down, just calmly hug him back.

AppleJackal: (Thoughts) Yes, she's accepting the hug, I'm so glad she did. I really wanted to hug her,

The two end the hug and say goodbye to each other as Pinkie enters the shop.

Pinkie: (Squeals in excitement) He hugged me, he hugged me. Wow that was the greatest hug I ever had. Hmm I know I can do for him.

As AppleJackal and Applejack make their way home, Applejack give AppleJackal a smile.

AppleJackal: What's the smile for?

Applejack: (Giggles) No reason.

As they finally get to the farm and are about to go into their house they noticed a note in front of the door on the floor. It was addressed to AppleJackal. He reads the note and could do nothing but smile and blush from reading. As it read:

Pinkie: To AppleJackal

Thank you for being such an amazing friend and I will like to return the favour of that amazing hug you have to me, by saying that you can come to Sugar Cube Corner whenever you want. No matter what the time is and that I will give you free cakes if you want any.

From,

Pinkie Pie.

Applejack: From Pinkie Pie?

AppleJackal: Yeah. And that's the best part of the letter.

He says as they both enter the house. Next Chapter: The Talent show Estimated time remaining: 29 Minutes
