[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.

[Oh, that was quick. He's heard of humans being able to do that, but ponies? Then again, these are... different ponies.]

Th-thank you. [A slow hover over the various treats... which one to take first? He knows what the pie would be like, but he's never had those folded pastry things before, or those doughy ones...

But nostalgia takes over and he eagerly takes a piece of pie and thrusts it into his moouth before he even realises what he's doing. The cinnamon, the apples, and the juices... it's all coming back to him with that soft, homey warmth, and he beams the more it soothes his tongue and his hunger.]

[That's just the sort of reaction she was hoping for! The beaming expression always makes her light up with pride. Apple Family recipes are always the best, thank you very much, and spreading that knowledge around always makes her happy.

Still, she has to ask.]

What d'ya think?

It... [Wait, he'll swallow first; Fuuko reminded him to not talk with his mouth full. When he does talk, though, it comes out in a voice much louder than even he expected.] I-it's delicious!

[Great success! Applejack laughs, beaming proudly.] Why, thank ya kindly! It's a recipe that's been in my family for generations.

[And a wink goes here.]

You can thank my Granny Smith for passin' it on.

[Munch munching on some more treats, then stops upon hearing the name.] Gr... Gr-Granny... Smith? [It sounds... oddly familiar...]
