5th Rodeo [Action/Voice]

[honestapples]

[Applejack is back from her mission! And as much as she's tuckered out, she's happy to be home and makes her rounds to her various friends to let them know she's back. And also to make sure that Winona hasn't gone too crazy.

It isn't until she's back home that night and settling down that realization dawns and she can't help but laugh.]

Tarnation. Ah missed my own birthday, goin' ta help out the Malnosso. That musta taken longer than Ah realized.

But that means it's gettin' close ta Nightmare Night! An' that means the pumpkins are comin' in. It's not much of a pumpkin patch, but if anyone's wantin' ta come on by the farm an' pick one up, they'll make mighty fine jack-o-lanterns. [Soft chuckle.] Or pies, if that's what you're aimin' for.

[Pause. That has just reminded her...]

Gol-ly. Already closin' in on time for makin' cider, too. Would anyone mind lendin' a hoof with makin' cider? Ah promise it's well worth the work.

Then happy birthday! ... even if it's a little late.

[Voice]

[honestapples]

Why, thank ya, Emil! Don't you worry a thing 'bout it bein' a bit late... Ah barely even realized 'til Ah got home anyhow.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I could bake you a cake if you want... what about some kind of apple cake? I'm pretty sure I've seen recipes for those in some of the cookbooks I have.

[Voice]

[honestapples]

Aw, shucks. Ya don't haveta make me anythin', sugarcube. Wouldn't wanna put ya outta your way.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

It's no trouble at all, really. I like to cook, and besides, I wouldn't be much of a little brother if I didn't do something for my sister's birthday.

... you, um... you don't mind if I still call you that, do you?

[Voice]

[honestapples]

[Emil, you've just made her smile. Beam, really. What a silly question.]

'Course Ah don't mind! Ah wouldn't be much of a sister if Ah did. [This makes her miss Apple Bloom and Big Mac but it's still so nice to have a "family" here, too. Friends are family, after all. Which. Brings her to a point.]

If ya really wanna make somethin', apple cake would be really nice.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Thank you! I mean, wait... you're the one who should be thanking me, I guess, but... you know what I mean. I'll get started on it right away!

[Voice]

[honestapples]

[She can't help but laugh a bit.] Thank ya kindly, Emil. Ah really appreciate it.

Is there anything else you'd like? You know, like presents or anything?
