[After nearly a full day of baking, everything is finally ready, and Applejack is far too happy with the results. It's about time to pay back her friends here for their help. And there's more food here than she quite realized she was making, so there's enough left over to feed just about anyone interested. Somehow, that just makes it all better. Everypony here needs some good home-style cooking from time to time. It's good for the soul.

And so, once she's got her tables set up out in the sunshine, laden with just about every appletastic treat imaginable, she sends out the message.]

Howdy, everypo-- everyone! [Slowly fixing ponyisms. Slowly.] If anyone's hungry, y'all can come on down ta the farmlands. Ah wanted ta say 'thank you' ta everyp-- everyone for helpin' me before, an'... [Sheepish chuckle.] Ah guess Ah went a li'l bit overboard. But there's food for anyp--one who's hungry! There's apple pie, apple fritters, apple cupcakes, apple donuts, caramel apples, candy apples, an' apple tarts.

All are welcome! [Slight pause. Idea! What if somepony's hurt or sick or working? With a nod, she adds,] An' if anyone needs somethin' delivered, you just let me know an' Ah'll bring it on over.

Probably, but, knowing Pinkie, she could probably eat everything and still have room for more!

You know how she gets around Cider Season.

[Shiver.] Don't remind me. Ah don't know how Ah'm gonna manage enough cider come Cider Season. The orchard just isn't strong enough yet.

[That, and she's decidedly lacking in family to help, but she already knows her friends can pick up the slack there. But still.]

You could always get some help, AJ. I bet there's loads of people who'd be willing to help set up shop.

[Which means more cider, and that's important. Very.]

Oh, Ah'm sure there'll be plenty'a help when the time comes. But Ah'm not sure we'll have enough apples ta make as much as we did back home. [She frowns thoughtfully.] But Ah guess we could always use some from the shops if we run low.

Shop apples are better than nothing, anyway. I just wonder if they can even compare to the ones you're growing. For all we know, the Malnosso could've done something super weird to all the food.

[That's. Something she hadn't thought of. Applejack pauses as that sinks in a bit.]

Ya know, you've got a point. Ah can't really check the shop apples as good as the ones from the orchard. Ah just hope they aren't really doin' anythin' funny ta the food.

Well, I'm fast enough that I could grab a few for comparison. I mean, going back and forth isn't that big of a deal.
