For day 4, Megan heads for Sweet Apple Acres to helpout the Apple Family

Day 4-Sweet Apple Acres

The next morning, the sun shined through the window of Megan's room. She yawned as she got up. Soon, there's a knock on the door.

"Yes?" Megan said with concern.

"Room service." A male voice called out.

"I don't remember ordering room service. Especially this time of the morning."

She opened the door, and a yellow male earth pony with a blue main and tail and wearing a red jacket pushed a cart into her room. The cart has a plate with a cheese omlett and a glass of orange juice. She was impressed.

"Compliments of Miss Rarity." The bellhop pony announced. "She knows that you'd wake up early."

Megan takes the tray with her breakfast and puts it on a table in her room. "Thank you. Sorry, I don't have a bit to tip you."

"That's okay. Rarity and Photo Finish already tipped me. Enjoy your breakfast."

As the bellhop pony leaves, Megan sat down to enjoy her breakfast. She took a bite of her cheese omlett, and enjoyed it very much. "Mmmm. Delicious. Rarity sure knows how to treat me right."

With that, she continues to enjoy her meal. Two hours later, The Friendship Express arrives at Ponyville as Twilight Sparkle and her friends wait for Rarity and company to come home. Rarity, Photo Finish, and Megan disembarked. This time, Megan wore a white flannel shirt, bib overalls, and a pair of brown boots. Also, she has a green ribbon in her hair.

"Hi, everypony." Twilight greeted. "How was Manehattan?"

"It was exquisite, darling." Rarity answered. "The sights never get old for me."

"I agree." Photo added. "I can't wait to have these pictures developed. I go!"

Photo left in a hurry as Megan gave her opinion to Twilight. "Manehattan was unbelievable. The stories Rarity and Photo told me are fantastic. I can see why my brother enjoyed being with them."

Applejack stepped up to talk to the legendary friend. "Do y'all know where you're going today?"

Megan looked at the clothes she's wearing. Then, had an idea. "I'm guessing Sweet Apple Acres."

"That's right. My family and I are getting everything ready for a country style jamboree. And, we need some extra help."

"And, since I'm from a farmer family myself, you figured I can help out. Right, partner?"

"That's right, Megan. I always knew you are clever."

Fluttershy then spoke up. "Do you have your backpack, Megan."

"Yes, I do." Megan replied as she strapped her backpack onto the nature lover. "Be careful with it, Fluttershy. Please."

"I will. I'll meet you at Sweet Apple Acres."

As Fluttershy took off for the Rainbow Bridge, Applejack and Megan went to Sweet Apple Acres. As the two figures arrived, Granny Smith was there to greet them.

"Welcome back to Sweet Apple Acres, Megan." Granny Smith greeted.

"Hi, Granny Smith." Megan replied as she and the eldest Apple hugged each other. "It's good to see you too."

"I assume that Applejack told you about this jamboree happening later today."

"She sure did. And, I'm ready to help."

"That's the spirit. A true lady of the farm."

Hearing the comment, Megan blushed. The barn area is being set up for the event. Applejack helps set up the banners, Apple Bloom and cousin Braeburn set the tables up for snacks, and Big Mac and Megan lift the bales of hay, and put them into the barn.

"Any more bales to put away?" Megan asked.

"Nope." Big Mac answered. "That's it. Come on down."

Meanwhile, Granny Smith and her relative, Goldie Delicious, arrive at the area.

"Looks like this barn is ready for the jamboree later today." Goldie realized.

"It sure is." Granny replied. "Everypony pitched in and got this place ready. Decorations put up, food tables ready, we're all set."

Big Mac agreed."Eeyup."

"But," Goldie wondered, "where's this human girl y'all told me about?"

"I'm right here." Megan answered as she left the barn to join the family.

Goldie looked at the farm girl. And, is amazed. "Nice to meet you, Miss Megan. I hope Granny Smith told you about me."

"She sure did, Goldie Delicious." Megan responded. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"What Granny Smith told me about you is true. It seems like you're at home here."

Megan chuckled at the comment. "You called it. I'm part of a farm family too."

Suddenly, Braeburn approached the two figures with a backpack strapped on his back.

"Excuse me, Megan." Braeburn interrupted. "Fluttershy showed up, and asked me to give you this backpack."

Unstrapping the backpack from Braeburn, Megan was very happy. "Thanks, Braeburn. It's good to have this back."

"That's yours?"

"That's right. My parents pack a change of clothes in this thing, depending where I'm going the next day."

A thought came into Granny Smith's mind. "That's right. You're staying in Equestria for a week."

"You got it, Granny Smith. And, this is day four."

Later that day, the jamboree is on. Food is being served, local musicians played country music, and a lot of guests are having fun. This includes Twilight and the rest of the Mane Six.

"Great party!" Pinkie cheered. "I couldn't have planned it better myself."

"Glad you like it." Applejack replied. "I see that my little sister and her friends are having fun too."

Applejack is right as Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo danced to the country style music. Rainbow quickly downed a mug of homemade apple cider. A loud burp came from her, which made Rarity cringe.

"Dashie!" Rarity shouted. "Please, show some manners."

Twilight looked around, and went to Applejack. "What happened to Megan, Applejack?"

"I think I know." The farm pony said. "Pardon me."

Meanwhile, under a tall tree near the farm, Megan sat on the ground with her boots off and her pant cuffs rolled up. With a mug of cider in her hand, she watched the sun set over the trees.

"I thought y'all would be here." Applejack said as she approaches the farm girl.

"Oh." Megan yelped. "Howdy, Applejack."

Applejack looks at the sunset as well. "Sure is pretty. Ain't it??"

"It sure is." Megan took a sip of the cider. "Now, I know why rainbow Dash loves your homemade cider. It's so tasty."

"Well, don't guzzle it down like she does."

"Trust me. I won't."

Applejack noticed Megan had took her boots off. "Feet ache after all of that work, I guess."

"A little." Megan said. "Sometimes, I like to relax like this."

"Works for me. You look real comfortable like this."

Applejack and Megan continue to watch the sun set. Later, night comes to Sweet Apple Acres. In the basement, Megan takes off her ribbon and gets ready for bed. Dressed in a simple white nightshirt, she lays down on a cot Granny Smith set up, drapes a blanket over her. And, slowly falls asleep. This ends day four.
