"Big Mac...Big Mac, wake up!"

Big McIntosh opened his eyes to find his little sister clinging on his bed, a pillow on her mouth.

"Ah saw a ghost outside mah window. Can ah sleep with you?"

Big Mac said nothing.

"Applejack...Applejack, wake up!"

Applejack opened her eyes to find her little sister clinging on her bed a pillow on her mouth.

"Ah saw a ghost outside mah window. Can we sleep with you?"

Applejack was about to said something when she looked up and found Big Mac holding his own pillow.

"Really, big bro?" Reluctantly, Applejack got up and moved to the window. "What´s all this nonsense about a ghost?" She looked outside and saw exactly what her siblings meant. A shadowy figure walking through the orchard. "That ain´ no ghost, it´s a intruder and ah don´t like intruders on mah farm!"

*****

Applejack went all alone in the starry sky and tackled the mysterious intruder, only to find herself floating in mid-air.

"What in tarna-"

"Pray thee, fair Applejack. Despite the time passage, we are certain attacking your ruler is a capital crime."

"Princess Luna? What are yah doing ´ere?"

Princess Luna gently put Applejack on the ground while she explained. "We were looking for a specific location but it seems a thousand years have done major changes to these landmarks."

"Well, ah guess...this was nuthing more than a barren land until mah grand-grandparents moved in." Suddenly, Applejack solved those fancy mathematics on her head. "Wait, if you have been ´ere before, that had to be...."

"Fair Applejack..." Luna interrupted her. "Inform us. Which is the oldest landmark in town?"

"Oh...that would be the everfree Forest."

"Ah, of course. I remember now...not so far away from our old castle." and Princess Luna walked right into the dark forest.

"Princess, wait! We better go back! This place ain´ natural!" Applejack warned the Princess who gracefully walked through the vines and branches. It seemed like the forest was opening a path for her, making her go unscathed; unlike Applejack who kept getting cuts and scratches.

"We do not recall asking for your service." Luna responded.

"Ah know! But if ah don´ follow you and make sure yah okay, ah would never hear the end of Twilight scolding!" she said, taking her hat out of a greedy branch.

"And what makes you think you are capable of defending us?" The tone of the Princess was harsh and severe. Unlike Celestia, she could be pretty intimidating.

Applejack kept quiet and followed the Princess to a clearing. There, it stood a giant tree surrounded by glowly white flowers that danced in the moonlight.

Princess Luna approached the tree and gently caressed its crust. "You have grown so much, my old friend." and she softly nuzzled the tree, petals of pearly flowers placing by themselves on her mane.

"Princess. Wha-what is this?"

Princess Luna blinked, it seemed like she had even forgot Applejack was even there. "A moonflower tree."

"Ah never heard of it before..."

"Of course not. This is the only plant of its kind in all of Equestria. I made it myself. A thousand years ago, after we defeated Discord, my sister and I embarked in a task to restore Equestria to its original beauty. Celestia brought life back to the fields and forest while I molded the mountains and valleys. She created so many beautiful fields of flowers but Tia...Celetia made one mistake. All her flowers blossomed in the daylight and none in the moonlight. All the flowers closed their petals at night, leaving my nights to be a warren sight." Applejack noticed how much misery circled the Princess´ words and a sudden burst of guilt hit her troath. "I worked many years, magically altering a single seed to create the flower that would nurture form the moon. I took care of her like it was my own child but before I could see her blossom I...."

Princess Luna went quiet and for a second the valley covered in shadows and Applejack saw a small glimpse of a sad and furious mare in place of the Princess.

"I feel better now, knowing that its resting here. All these years, alone and secure."

Luna heard a noise and turned to find Applejack chewing off some of the flowers.

*****

Applejack opened the earth and dropped the seeds she collected into the land, where they will surely grow up into another majestic tree.

All the while back to the farm, Applejack had been quiet and Princess Luna was still unsure about her intentions. Applejack then moved next to a pair of gravestones, located in the far side of the farm. Applejack placed the flowers on top of them and took off her hat. Luna took a look at the names and understood.

She stood next to Applejack who simply said:

"...no longer alone."
