Applejack was sitting down on her picnic blanket, waiting for Winona to bring a stick that was thrown into the bushes. Around Applejack were her friends playing with their own pets, as well. Today was the occasional 'Pony Pet Playdate', which was held at Sweet Apple Acres this week.

Applejack started to wonder, 'Shoot! Where did Winona go off to, now?'

Just then, there was a rustle in the bush, and it was from the same direction AJ had thrown the stick. Winona pounced out of the shrubs, bringing back the stick, but also brought along a very familiar mail pony behind her.

Applejack got up to greet the clumsy pegasus. "Well howdy, Derpy! 'Ya got mail for me?" The mail pony nodded, her 'googly-eyes' swirling with her head's bobbing motion. Derpy then searched her bag, looking for the specific letter sent for AJ.

"Mhm, here you go, Applejack!" replied Derpy, finally getting it out.

Applejack looked at the address of the card, and read it aloud. "Uhh.. a letter for... 'Oo-tack-you.. Tee-sun.. deere...? From Larry the Din-no- sar..?' "

Derpy looked at the letter, and realized her mistake. She took out the real letter for Applejack and apologized, "Oopsie! Sorry, Applejack, here's the reeal card for you!"

Applejack took the letter from Derpy's hooves. "No need to apologize, sugarcube, but thank 'ya kindly, Derpy! " replied Applejack.

AJ looked around and realized Derpy already left.

The mares were watching AJ and Derpy's conversation from a distance, and when the coast was clear, they approached Applejack.

"What does the card say, darling?" asked Rarity, ever so interested in who it was from.

"Who is-" Fluttershy tried to contribute.

Pinkie interrupted poor Fluttershy and asked "Who is it from? Open it! Open it!"

Rainbow Dash also added to the conversation, while Fluttershy was behind Pinkie, disappointed that the pink mare stole her only line in the chapter. "Yeah, let's see who sent you this sweet invitation, AJ!" said Rainbow.

In the background, Pinkie looked at the script and whispered to Fluttershy "You do have another line in this prologue, don't worry your precious little head, Fluttershy!" Pinkie got out a marker and changed up the script, while everypony were about to question what she was doing to the episode. Instead, they just shrugged and went along with it.

Twilight, however, looked behind her, and then looked at her script, seeing that it changed. "Nevermind," she mumbled, being upset at Pinkie for yet again, changing their scripts. "Okay, Applejack, let's see what's in the letter," said Twilight, glaring at Pinkie as the pink mare slowly retreated from adding anything else to the scripts.

Applejack nodded, and looked at the address of the letter. " 'For my niece Applejack'. At least the address is right," said Applejack.

Rainbow Dash titled her head "An uncle?"

Rarity and Fluttershy looked at Rainbow Dash thinking, 'Did she not know Applejack had uncles or..?'

Rainbow Dash then realized her odd choice of words and shouted "Oh! I didn't mean it like that, AJ!"

"It's alright, sugarcube," Applejack replied. She opened the letter and read it to her friends as they listened. " 'Dear Applejack, howdy there! Ah'm your uncle, if 'ya didn't know! Captain Salty Apple's the name. Ah can't believe 'yer so big, already! How's Granny Smith? And how's Big Mac and Apple Bloom?

Well you can tell me in person, because Ah'm inviting you and yer friends on mah cruise!' "

Rarity interrupted Applejack and exclaimed "Oooh!~ A cruise sounds sooo relaxing! Oh! Apologies, darling, do read on."

Applejack just rolled her eyes, smiling, and continued reading. "Where was ah? Oh, right!"

" 'Y'all don' have to pay, though, we got that covered for ya.' Well that's awfully kind of him, let's see what else it says.. 'Just c'mon down to the ship near South Hoofington! Mah crew and ah would be obliged to meet 'ya and 'yer other friends that helped save Equestria! It's the least we could do for y'all. Anywho, the cruise leaves tomorrow, so be sure to arrive at 11:00 AM! Can't wait to see y'all! ~Love, Yer Fav'rite Uncle, Captain Salty Apples.' "

AJ sat there, looking at the letter again. Her friends trotted over to her, making sure she was okay, but then Applejack started talking again. "Well shoot! How did he know he was mah fav'rite? Hah, that's mah uncle for 'ya. He's mighty nice to offer us to his cruise ship, haha!" Applejack stated.

A few hours after that letter arrived, the girls finished their Pony Pet Playdate, and said farewell.

The only thing they had to do was pack for a three day vacation...

But here's a question: who'll pet-sit for them?
