Applejack: And now that you’re a part of the family, Ah don’t wanna hear anymore of that “Mrs. Applejack” or ma’am stuff. Makes ya seem like a kiss up. Just call me “Ma” you hear?
 
Amber: Yes ma’am I mean, Ma.
 
Applejack: Good. Well then, let’s get back with everypony else. We’re missing out on some precious family time walks back to the main room
 
Apple Bloom: follows her sister
 
June: How ya doing?
 
Amber: I’m still a bit scared. That was intense
 
June: Sorry about that. It’s just a thing our family does.
 
Amber: I understand
 
June: My aunts and dad think it’s important for Del and I in particular
 
Amber: Why’s that?
 
June: Well, we’re some of the first Apples to branch off and leave our respective farms.
 
Amber: Really?
 
June: Eeyup. Aunt Applejack really worries about, Del. She just wants to make sure he’s in good hooves. As for me, if things work out with Valiant Heart, I’ll have to move away to the Crystal Empire
 
Amber: Wow. Well, I don’t think you guys need to worry about, Del. He’s a smart guy and was doing well long before I came into his life.
 
June: We know. But you can’t really help but worry about your family, y’know?
 
Amber: thinks about how Lucky and Hot Head are doing Yeah….
 
June: Well, we better get out there, huh?
 
Amber: Mmhm walks out to main room
 
June: begins walking Api? You coming?
 
Api: Hold on!
 
June: What’re you doing?
 
Api: None of your business!
 
June: Okay, okay sorry leaves the room
 
Api: I still don’t think this mare belongs here. She’s ruined everything! All my plans down the drain. The only mares that were supposed to be with Del were Crme, Candy and Starburst. They don’t even have a cute shipping name! I mean “Delber”? “Ambelicious”? “GoldenLily”. That one’s too generic. “Delily” well that one works I guess…….. Gah! It’s all ruined!
