When Cheerilee has a son with Big Mac, he couldn't be more excited! The two are starting the next step of their lives together and they'd truly have it no other way.

Chapter 1-The Birth of a Son and Three Years Later

Two years after their marriage, Big Mac and Cheerilee have a foal, a colt to call their own, whom they name Mackintosh. The two couldn't be more happy. They finally have a child to call their own and they'd have it no other way.

Three years later, little Mackintosh heads off to his first day of kindergarten with his mother. A few minutes later at the school, Cheerilee drops him off in his class then goes to tend to her third and fourth graders. As soon as he sits down, he is greeted by a few other foals: three colts and two fillies named Lightning Bolt, Soara, Zinger, Gold Medal, and Sunflower Shine. Soara is the daughter of Rainbow Dash, so due to his parents being friends with her mother, the two soon become close friends. A few minutes later, their teacher enters the room. "Hello students," says their teacher Ms. Honeyblossom, "I'm Ms. Honeyblossom and who might you be? We're going to go around the room and you're going to tell me your names, okay?"

The students start sharing their name from the left front side of the room.

"My name is Berry Pie," says the filly in the first desk.

"I'm Apple Curd," says the filly beside her.

"I'm Apple Custard," says the filly next to Apple Curd.

"I'm Cherry Blossom," says the filly next to Apple Custard.

The foals on the next row then begin to list off their names.

"I'm Soara," says the filly on the first desk in the second row.

"I'm Snapdragon," snarks the filly next to her.

"I'm Angelshy," whispers the filly in the third desk on the second row.

"I'm Mackintosh," says Mackintosh.

The third row of foals begin to list off their names for the teacher.

"I'm Lightning Bolt," says the colt in the first desk on the third row.

"I'm Zinger," says the colt in the second desk on the third row.

"I'm Sunflower Shine," says the filly in the third desk on the third row.

"I'm Gold Medal," says the colt in the fourth desk on the third row.

The fourth and final row then begins to share their names.

"I'm Honey Suckle," says the filly in the first desk on the fourth row.

"I'm Silver Slate," says the colt next to her.

"I'm Cinnamon Swirl," says the filly next to Silver Slate.

"I'm Diadem Corona," says the last filly on the row.

Ms. Honeyblossom then thanks the children and passes them out their reading, writing, and math assignments they have to do for the day. They do work for a few hours before going out to recess.

At recess, Mackintosh hangs out with Soara, Lightning Bolt, Zinger, Gold Medal, Sunflower Shine, and Angelshy, who Soara dragged along since Angelshy is her best friend. All the friends laugh and joke and have an all around good time.

After school that day, Mackintosh goes with his new friends to Fluttershy's house to hang out for the rest of the day. At Fluttershy's, all the friends help her with her animals and even go with her to tend to the animal sanctuary. After returning to Fluttershy's from the animal sanctuary to her house, all the little ponies are greeted by their parents and taken on their way home except for Soara.

"My parents are in training for the Wonderbolts, it's okay," sighs Soara.

Fluttershy, pitying the little filly, then takes her out to get some ice cream before flying her home herself. Soara is so grateful that Fluttershy is so loving, caring, and a close family friend and willing to take her home. A few hours later, after their ice cream, Fluttershy drops Soara off at her home. As Fluttershy flies off, Soara waves goodbye before going inside.

Meanwhile back at the farm, Mackintosh helps his father in the field. As his father bucks apples, Mackintosh comes along behind him and picks up any strays that he sees. Big Mack just smiles. He's so thrilled to be a father especially to a young colt he can pass the farm down to when the day comes, which hopefully, won't be until far down into the future.

Chapter 2-Gala Tickets

Three months later, everypony is sent their Grand Galloping Gala tickets by the royal sisters. Once they arrive at the Mackintosh house, Mackintosh begins to freak out. It'll be his first gala ever and he can't wait.

"Momma, daddy, what's the gala like? Please tell me!" begs Mackintosh.

"You'll soon see for yourself, Macky," replies Cheerilee with a smile. "Now go off and share the news with your friends." Mackintosh nods and goes off to the old Crusader clubhouse to go tell his friends.

In the clubhouse, Mackintosh greets his friends and then asks about the gala. "So, are you guys ready for the gala?"

"Most definitely!" exclaims Soara.

"Sure, I guess," replies Angelshy.

"Of coarse!" say Silver Platter and Gold Medal.

"Most definitely," says Sunflower Shine.

"Hell yeah, I'm ready for the gala!" says Lightning Bolt excitedly.

"Lightning Bolt, that is not a word we say," scowls Sunflower.

"Oh, sorry," replies Lightning Bolt, "I got carried away. It won't happen again."

The group then goes over and grabs a bunch of juice boxes before resuming their talk. Meanwhile back at the farm, Big Mackintosh pulls out his old suit for Cheerilee to mend for him, which she does with a smile. A few hours later, all the children show up at the farm for the Kickapalooza Big Mack hosts for the neighborhood foals every year. It's the way he found to share his apple bucking talents with the next generation.

In the fields, the children happily kick the trees, Big Mack walking around to help them one by one. A few minutes later, he is joined by Applejack, who helps half of the ground while he helps the other group. He's glad his sister came by to give him a hand because Celestia knows he needed it. The Kickapalooza continues for five more hours and finishes with a group picnic under the trees in the main orchard. After dinner, they all go off to Rarity's to get their suits and dresses made for the gala. After hours of fitting, the measurements are gathered and the dresses and suits are started by Rarity and the happy parents carrying their sleeping children home in their arms. It's been a long day and they can all agree, it's time to get some much needed sleep.

Chapter 3-Five Months Later, The Gala

Five months later, it's finally the night of the gala. As they enter the castle, the foals stare with wide eyes. Big Mack goes over to talk with his sister, and Honey Apple and Crisp Apple go off to hang out with their cousin and his friends. As they stroll over to him, Mackintosh happily introduces his cousins to his friends.

"Honey Apple, Honey Crisp, these are my friends," says Mackintosh, "Lightning Bolt, Soara, Angelshy, Gold Medal, Silver Platter, Zinger, and Sunflower Shine."

"Hey," reply Mackintosh's friends.

"Hey, nice to meet ya," reply Honey Apple and Crisp Apple.

Meanwhile, Big Mackintosh and Cheerilee take to the dance floor for a slow dance, as do the rest of the adult ponies. A few minute later, Screwball walks up and says a hello to her little sister.

"Hey little sis, nice to see you again," says Screwball with a smile on her face to Angelshy.

"Hey Screwy," replies Angelshy, embracing her big sister in a hug.

"Do you want to dance with me?" asks Screwball. Angelshy nods and the two go and enjoy everypony else on the dance floor. Lightning Bolt and Sunflower Shine then follow suit and do the same as do Mackintosh and Soara. The couples smile as they dance. They're having the time of their lives. After the song comes to an end, the children and Screwball go over and talk in their little corner. They laugh, joke, and tell stories. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash is off preparing for the aerial display with the Wonder Bolts, while the rest of the Mane Six chat with the princesses. A few minutes later, the children go off and get some punch with Screwball before going off to join her and her father in their crazy antics. It's one exciting night and with Screwball at their side, they're soon going to make it ten times more exciting.

Over under a table, discreetly hidden, Screwball and Discord use their magic to turn the butterflies of one of the dresses into bats, spiders, and snakes, freaking everypony out especially Rarity and Fluttershy. All the children then laugh, covering their mouths to muffle the sound. The group continue to mess with ponies for a few more hours before being found by their parents and taken to watch the aerial display, which they ooh and ahh at, wide eyes and smiles stretched across their faces.

At the farm that night after the gala has come to an end, Mackintosh shares how much fun he had at the gala with his parents. They just smile as he tells them everything. The two are glad he enjoyed himself. That's all they could have ever hoped for and then some. A few hours later, Cheerilee tucks in Mackintosh for the night, kisses him on the forehead, and leaves him to dream about the night's events.

A few minutes later, back out in the main room of the farmhouse, Cheerilee and Big Mack sit on the couch together and just look out at the stars from the window. "Why do shooting stars mean so much to you, Big Mack?"

"They mean a lot to my entire family, they're a reminder that our parents are still looking out for us, even though they're dead and gone."

"Well, that's sweet," says Cheerilee before kissing him on the lips. The two then part from the kiss and look up as two shooting stars fly by. "I'm sure they're proud of you," whispers Cheerilee. Big Mack smiles. He knows Cheerilee is right. His parents are likely very proud of him and if they were alive, they'd tell him so. Big Mack sighs as he goes to the farmhouse door and looks out into the night sky. He'll always look to the stars with a smile. Some things will never change.

Chapter 4-Apple Family Reunion, Five Years Later

It's a beautiful day, five years later, and everypony that is part of the Apple or Pear family is gathered at Sweet Apple Acres for the Apple Family Reunion, including a now eight year old Mackintosh, excited that it's his first family reunion. Cheerilee, on the other hand, is quite nervous. She's never met most of Big Mack's family, only his sisters, Granny Smith, and Grandpear. Fortunately for her, Big Mack happily goes and introduces her to the rest of the family, while Mackintosh goes over to hang out with his cousins Apple Bloom and Babs Seed.

"Hey Lil Mack," says Apple Bloom with a smile. "Good to see you again, cousin!"

"You too, Apple Bloom," replies Mackintosh with a smile.

"Hello, Mackintosh, good to meet you," says Babs with a smile.

"It's good to meet you too," replies Mackintosh with a smile.

The three cousins then continue to chat and catch up for several hours. They laugh, joke and have an all around great time. In the meantime, Cheerilee is finally starting to warm up around the rest of the Apples and by extent, the Pears this year. She even ends up sharing a few conversations with each of them and even a dance with Grandpear.

Meanwhile, no one notices Mackintosh, Apple Bloom, and Babs sneak off to the hayloft to jump off the ledge into the hay below. As they take turns jumping, they smile and laugh as soon as they land in the hay, get back up and do it all over again. They do this for another half hour before returning to hang out with the rest of the Apple family. Mackintosh can't help but smile. He's enjoying his family reunion today with his cousins, and he couldn't ask for anything better than that.

A few hours later, after downing fresh baked fritters and hoof squeezed cider, Apple Bloom, Mackintosh, and Babs seed go off and join in on the Apple family photo. As the photo is about to be taken, Applejack runs to join the rest of the group and a split second later, the picture is taken, everypony smiling in it with a glitter in their eyes. Once the picture is taken, all the family sits down to a great big dinner around the longest picnic table in all Equestria. As they eat, they joke, share stories, and have an all around great time. Mackintosh is so glad to be part of such a big family, he considers himself so lucky. He really and truly can't wait until the next family reunion rolls around.

Chapter 5-A Baby Sister Enters the Picture and a First Date

Eleven months later, a new foal enters the lives of Big Mack, Lil Mack, and Cheerilee, a little filly whom they name Joyous Flower. Lil Mack can't help but be thrilled. He's so excited to have a little sister to call his own.

"Can I hold her?" he asks with wide eyes. Cheerilee nods and sits him down in the chair beside her bed and hands him his baby sister. "Hey little Joy," he whispers to the sleeping filly in his hooves. "It's me, your big brother Lil Mack. It's good to meet you."

Cheerilee and Big Mack smile. She then takes the baby from Lil Mack not long after she begins to cry, hungry and ready to eat. As she prepares to nurse the filly, Big Mack and Lil Mack leave the room and head out to the orchard to buck the apples off of the trees.

"So," says Big Mack to his son, "you glad to be a big brother?"

"Eeyup," replies Lil Mack. Big Mack just smiles. "I've always wanted a baby sister and now I have one!"

"In other news, how are you and Soara coming along? C'mon, I know you have a crush on her!"

"It's going well, I'm just too scared to ask her out on a date," replies Lil Mack.

"Well, don't be, speak up, tell her how you feel before you lose her for good," replies Big Mack, "now go! Go and tell her how you feel. You can buck trees later." Lil Mack runs off to confess his feelings for Soara.

A few minutes later, Lil Mack bumps into Soara. He then proceeds to tell her how he feels about her. "Soara," says Lil Mack, "I love you!"

"I love you too, Lil Mack," replies Soara. The two then share a kiss and then go off to get milkshakes. At Sugar Cube Corner, the two talk and crack jokes for hours on end. The two are glad to now be a couple. Even Angelshy tells Soara later that she was waiting for her best friend to finally start dating Lil Mack, because she could tell the two were clearly head over hooves in love.

Meanwhile back at the farm, Big Mack continues to buck the trees on his own. He then stops as he sees Lil Mack coming over the hill. A few minutes later, Lil Mack reaches his father and tells him everything about his date with Soara.

"It, it was so much fun!" sighs Lil Mack with a smile, "we got milkshakes, saw a movie, went to the comic book store and read Daring Do comics for hours, it was a blast!"

"I'm glad you enjoyed your date with Soara," smiles Big Mack, "I'm so proud of you, son!"

"Thanks, dad!" replies Lil Mack with a smile. Big Mack then scratches his son on his head messing up his mane. Lil Mack just laughs as does Big Mack. The two then get back to bucking apples together, smiling all the while.

Meanwhile over at Angelshy's, the two talk about Soara's date with Lil Mack as they paint each other's hooves. "So, you and Lil Mack? It's about time."

"Yeah," replies Soara. "I'm just glad he loves me in return, after all, I have had a crush on him for ages, now we're finally a couple. I can hardly believe it."

The two then continue to talk. Meanwhile back at the farm, Cheerilee, Big Mack, and Lil Mack sit down to dinner while Joyous Flower sleeps in her nursery. The three eat, not saying a word, until Lil Mack brings up his date.

"So, I went on a date with Soara today," says Lil Mack.

"Wow! Good for you!" replies Cheerilee with a grin. "I'm proud of you, son!"

After dinner, the three go get the baby and take a new family picture for the wall. They then frame it and hang it on the wall. Cheerilee then goes and puts the baby back to sleep. Everything is perfect and she truly couldn't be happier. She has the perfect husband, the perfect children, what more could she ever want? The answer, absolutely nothing.
