Apple Bloom is now inside the house; crying, lying on the couch, and holding on to her splinter laced backhoof whilst trying not to cry anymore. Unfortunately, she’s still crying, and that just made her older sister Applejack worry a little bit more. “Hang on Apple Bloom, i’ma coming.”

Applejack then came back with a first aid kit, and started to address the situation in the room. “Wow, that’s a big splinter you got there. Did you get this while bucking an apple tree?” Apple Bloom didn’t want to answer that; as she was worried on how her older sister would react. And possibly knows what’s gonna happen once she answers; hence why she was covering her mouth with her forehooves. Finally, Apple Bloom uncovered her mouth, took a few deep breaths, and then answers, “y-yes sis. I-I did.” Tears still ran down the little filly’s cheeks as she said that. Applejack sighed and shook her head; knowing that her instincts were right, and then said, “see, I told you that you’ll get hurt whenever I’m not around. And now look what you have; a splinter.” Apple Bloom whimpered, and then said, “I-I-I know. B-b-but it’s not my fault. Th-th-that tree was the one who gave me a splinter; not me.” Applejack looked at her sister with a raised eyebrow, and then says, “well, I guess. But that doesn’t change the fact that I was right, and that you’ll get hurt, see?” Apple Bloom whined again, and then said, “yeah, but so what? I’m not a baby anymore Applejack. I can handle it.” Applejack was just about done treating Apple Bloom’s splinter, got up, and then said, “true. But I’m still keeping an eye on you for just in case. You’ll see. It’ll all be fine, and you’ll thank me later, okay?” Apple Bloom crossed her forehooves, and pouted. But eventually stops, and nods reluctantly; knowing that her older sibling is now gonna treat her like a little baby from now on for the rest of the day.”

Granny Smith came into the room, and then says, “well now, ain’t that better huh?” Apple Bloom nodded, and said, “yes granny”, before looking down at the ground in slight embarrassment. Granny Smith looked up at Applejack, and then says, “y-you know. You really shouldn’t treat her like a baby no more, you hear?” Applejack sighed, and then says, “I know granny. B-but I just can’t help myself. W-whenever Apple Bloom gets hurt, I-I just get out of hoof. That’s all. Okay?” Granny nodded, but shook her head again, and then says while rubbing her chin with her forehoof, “well, that may be. But I still don’t want you treating her like a foal again, you hear? What if she gets like that, and stays regressed like it for all time. You don’t want that to happen, do you?” Applejack sighed, and then says, “no granny, I do not.” Granny Smith smiled, and then says, “good. That’s what I like to hear.” She then turns to the stairs, and then shouts lightly, “Big Mac, hurry up! It’s almost time. We’re gonna be late.” Big Mac is then seen carrying a big box luggage on his back, whilst grunting to keep it from falling down the stairs, and making him fall with it.” Granny then turned back to Applejack, and then says, “now then. Since you’re babysitting Apple Bloom, I need you to do me this one thing. Can you handle it?” Applejack nodded, and then says, “sure thing granny. Whatever you need.” Granny then nods her head, and says, “alright. What I need you to do is under no circumstances baby talk Apple Bloom, or treat her as such in anyway possible, you hear? Cuz if I find out that my little granddaughter is back into being an infant again, you’ll be regretting this day as the day that you were born, you hear?” Applejack nodded, and said, “yes m’am”, before going up the stairs to help her big brother out.

After that was taken care of; Big Mac, and Granny Smith are hooked to the cart; waiting for Applejack to load in the luggage. Granny Smith looked at Applejack, and then says, “now Applejack, do you remember what I told you?” Applejack nodded, and said, “yes m’am.” Granny Smith said, “good. Cuz if I find out..”. Applejack then finishes, “..then I’ll be regretting this day as the day that I was born. I get it now.” Granny Smith said, “good. That’s good. Oh, and I almost forgot.” Applejack turned to her Granny, and then asks, “what. What is it?” Granny then replied, “and don’t forget; Big Mac needs you to tell Sugar Belle that he’s gonna be away on a trip with me, okay? So don’t forget to tell her, or else she’ll think otherwise, you hear?” Applejack nodded, and says, “I hear ya. Now get going now. Y’all don’t wanna be late”, she says as she’s waving with her hat goodbye. Granny Smith looked at Big Mac, and then asks, “ready Big Mac?” He replied, “eeyup”, and started walking away with her to their destination.

Unfortunately; right as soon as Applejack saw the two getting more distant, she then went back into the house, and looked at Apple Bloom with her big sister instincts kicking in. Something tells Apple Bloom that this is not gonna be a good day.
