The next day, Applejack had been doing her farming almost all day, which was tiring for her. However, she never was tired to make some music. She went up to her room and started to practice playing her tuba. Her tuba-playing sounded a whole lot better than before, even Granny Smith, Big Mac, Applebloom and Winona could hear her from down wherever they were. Winona went up to source of the incredible deep-toned music, and wagged her tail happily to see and hear Applejack playing her tuba. She barked a few times while she was still happily wagging her tail and laid down next to Applejack, who stopped playing and noticed her now laying beside her.  

     "I see that ya liked my tuba-playin' huh?" said Applejack while she was petting Winona on the head.

     Winona barked as a reply. Applejack smiled and then continued to play her tuba, and Winona started to howl enjoyably. It's Winona's way of singing happily.

     In the midday in an another day, they went up towards the apple orchards. Winona wagged her tail happily as Applejack took out her tuba and gazed at the peaceful view. She placed her mouthpiece to her lips and then started to play a heartwarming, tuneful ballad with the deep, dark tone of her tuba. The soothing breeze blew by as she was still playing, and Winona didn't bark but continued to happily wag her tail. The orchestral accompaniment started to play out of nowhere while Applejack continued to play the ballad on her tuba as she slowly walked towards the apple trees and looked up, seeing the red, juicy apples that were attached to them. Winona followed her, still wagging her tail but in the same pace. She remained silent and swayed her head to the beat back and forth. Applejack was still playing the ballad as an orange glow shined brightly around her. Her pony ears appeared on her head and her lower part of hair grew a long braid. The deep and dark tone of her tuba continued to sound out because of her amazing playing skills. She played the final notes and stopped when the orchestral accompaniment released in 4 extra beats in a chord. Winona soon started to bark a few times while Applejack placed her tuba down next to her and sat down and leaned against the apple tree she came forward to. Winona laid down on her left lap and snuggled up. Applejack smiled and petted Winona's head and the back side.

     "Yup, she likes it alright," she said.

     "Sis!" called as she ran to her and then stopped, "What're ya doin' in that apple orchards with yer tuba?"

     "Just 'oompahin''," said Applejack with a chuckle, "Ain't that right, Winona?"

     Winona barked a couple of times in reply.

     Applebloom laughed a little bit, taking it as a wordplay. "Anyways, Granny wants ya ta help 'er with somethin'," she said, "But she didn't tell me what in particular."

     Applejack shrugged her shoulders. "She might be bakin' some apple pies again," she said as she stood up and got her tuba, "If that ain't it, then I have no idea." Then she started to play a couple of tunes on her tuba while she was heading towards their house.

     Applebloom was confused as if there's something a tiny bit abnormal with Applejack, but figured that Applejack was just in a musical mood. Applejack played the final notes and finished playing when they were at their destination. Winona barked and wagged her tail happily, and jumped around Applejack excitedly.
