A work horse's beating heart

It was the middle of the day in PonyVille. Houses with thatch roof's say squarely around a few shops. In spite of it's size, you could barely hear over the voices of gossiping ponies, all talking a bout the unusual paring that had came up. Even the least sociable were talking about it. This did nothing to affect the efficiency at Sweet Apple Acres. Although, occasionally Big Macintosh would be missing from the farm, hiding away from everypony with Ditzy. Mind, it had only been a day since the cloud incident but it was already the talk of the town. Thinking about all this, Mac continued bucking apples with his sister, AppleBloom. Macintosh's life had got considerably better after his family found out about Ditzy. It hadn't just made Mac's life better, either. AppleBloom and the other Crusaders now a new recruit; Ditzy's daughter, Dinky. Ditzy didn't have to worry about Dinky getting bullied anymore. It didn't stop there too, one of Dinky's only true friend had been Silver Spoon, making it easier for the CMC. That really wrapped up most of PonyVilles bad parts, do to recent events.

Well, most bad parts. Bullying still wasn't completely eradicated. Speaking of, Big Macintosh's mortal enemy's were heading right towards him, angry looking angry. They didn't come close to Macintosh; they wouldn't attack in public. But Mac still stayed wary, as did AppleJack. They stayed in the market as long as possible, but it was getting dark soon and other shop keepers were packing up. Quickly, AppleJack made small show of body language, which Mac easily translated to follow me. Nodding, Macintosh helped his sister secure the stand and then followed her a different way out than usual. Taking a few lefts and rights, they eventually arrived in front of the tree-house library that Twilight Sparkle, librarian and Princess of Equestria lived in. Thinking about it, Mac realized that was quite impressive and also a mouthful. Knocking on the door lightly, AppleJack and her brother waited. Both noticed their followers were gone, afraid of the Princess. AJ remembered they had gotten on Twilight's bad side before she was a princess, and probably didn't want another incident. Their thoughts were interrupted when the door to Twilight's house opened.

"Hello AppleJack! Oh, and you too Big Macintosh." She beckoned them inside, her horn alight, bringing a full table and Tea set to her guest's.

"Sorry about that cloud problem." Twilight said over her shoulder, while reading a book "someone's been messing with the clouds. Anyway, why are you here?" Scooting her chair forward, AppleJack explained everything from Mac meeting Ditzy to the fight to their current situation.

"I mean, I can talk to Dumb-bell and Hoops." Twilight said with authority "but it's really just a petty argument, it's not like i can punish them accept for making them do community service." She concluded.

"But you can still stay here for the night." Twilight said, yawning.

"Thanks, Twilight." AppleJack nodded, following Her upstairs, Macintosh following behind. Managing to comfortably lay in the single guest bed, AJ and Macintosh managed to fall asleep.
