I opened my eyes to a beautiful Dashie laid down next to me still sleeping. We were in a tent, waiting for Cider Season to begin. Ever since Dashie told me about what happened last year, I made a deal with Pinkie: She give us her spot and I purchase then teleport a barrel of cider to Sugarcube Corner. I poked my head out of the tent to see that it was almost time. I gently tapped Dashie on the shoulder. She opened an eye. "Almost time, Dashie." She got up and stretched her arms. We exited the tent and got in line.

"Howdy." A familiar voice said. We looked ahead to a shock. The Flim-Flam Bros. were next to her.

"What are you two doing here?" Rainbow flew up to them to give them what for, but AJ stepped in front of them. Dashie slowed and stopped.

"There here to..."

"We're sorry for last year, our behavior, more or less," Flim said. Twilight, Spike, Rarity and Fluttershy trotted up.

"We're okay now. Their even helping us a little with..a fairer deal," AJ said. "Most of making the cider ain't different, but after Granny Smith checks the apples, their machine takes over an makes cider real fast like a jackrabbit."

"Gives me a break from straining anything," Big Mac said, coming over.

"The best part is that, this time, honest to Celestia, we have cider for EVERYPONY!" The crowd cheered. We looked at the 60 barrels of cider before us. "Cider Season is now open!" Everypony cheered.

We were first thanks to Pinkie. "2 mugs for us both and a barrel for Pinkie. I'll take care of transport." I gave appropriate change and recieved the mugs. Big Mac rolled over a barrel and I said "Thanks."

"Eeyup."

I cast the teleport spell and made it disappear.

Meanwhile, at Sugarcube Corner...

"Thank you. Come again." Pinkie rang up the latest order for SCC. Derpy left with a box of 12 muffins and a bag of jelly-fillies(for The Doctor). Suddenly, a bright light filled the room. She turned away for a moment. When she turned back, her face lit up like a Christmas tree. "Yippee!" A barrel of fresh cider with a note:

Thanks for the spot in line. Just like I promised: 1 barrel of cider.

She hopped around, happy about what I did. After that, she pushed it into the kitchen.
