Once Apple Bloom was fed and cleaned up by her older sister, she was then carried off back into the living room. Despite Applejack treating her like an infant again, she was thinking that maybe she’ll be able to get some time off to herself once her older sister gets a little tired. She soon found out yes; her sister is getting a little tired, and yes, her older sister might leave her alone for once. But unfortunately, she has plans on how to cope with it.

“There you are Apple Bloom; enjoy”, Applejack said as she sets Apple Bloom down on the floor. Apple Bloom looked around in slight horror, and a little annoyance; as she was met with so many foal toys; that even The Cake Twins and Princess Flurry Heart might enjoy. “This stinks”, said Apple Bloom. “I wanna go to my room.” Applejack yawned and laid down on the couch, and replies back to her sister, “now now, you’ll be able to go back to your room and all. But I have to get some rest, and I can’t get having you hurt again whilst going by yourself. Which is why I’m having Winona hired as my personal guard dog; to make sure that you’re not gonna get hurt, okay?“ Apple Bloom growls in annoyance again, and crossed her forehooves whilst pouting. After a few seconds, she sighs in defeat, and says, “okay then”, before starting to play with some blocks so she can’t be humiliated any more longer.

After a few minutes, Apple Bloom has completed building a block tower, and Applejack is napping on the couch. Apple Bloom; hearing her older sister’s soft snores, knows that if she doesn’t get out of here soon, who knows what Applejack might do to her next? So with that, she hatched an idea, and went with it.

First, she tried convincing Winona to let her go up the stairs. Winona refuses, and starts growling at her to back away from the stairs. Knowing that her growling will wake up Applejack eventually, Apple Bloom decides to do the old filly’s negotiation; “if you help me up the stairs, then I’ll give you each of my snacks for a whole week once I have them available. What do you say?” Winona thought hard about that request with a paw to her chin in thought. Apple Bloom knew that this is gonna take long, so she decides to up the ante. “And, I’ll get you your favorite toy.” Winona got excited at that thought, and barked in excitement. Suddenly, they both turned to see Applejack stirring in her sleep. After a few seconds, they sighed with relief; knowing that they haven’t woken up Applejack. And with that, Apple Bloom gets on top of Winona, and then points upwards to the stairs. “Onward Winona. Charge!” And with that, Apple Bloom is riding Winona up the stairs, and into her bedroom. Unfortunately, she’ll eventually learn that that was a huge mistake...
