Parodius,Obsidian,and the Pie twins trotted to Sweet Apple Acres,who were in the beginning of Cider season. "Cider season already? I have hardly noticed" Obsidian said questioningly, "I can only assume our sparkly cider friend is to blame" Cheesecake said. "Lets not leave Parodius out of this guys" Cott'n'Candy said knowing that Parodius was new. "Mother always brought some cider back when she left the castle,but I never knew somebody other than the Apple Family made it" Parodius replied sipping his drink,"Somebody from the Apple Family makes it Parodius" Obsidian replied "Well who?" Parodius asked."You rang?" a voice said,almost on cue a tall cream orange stallion with a pale red and white mane rose up from behind a "sparkling cider" stand,his cutie mark couldn't be seen from behind the stand. "My name is Carbon Cider,son of a hard worker and a conman,may I take your order?" he said with a quick voice and loud crowd attracting tone, "What happened to your horn?" Parodius asked ignoring Carbon Cider's entrance "I hurt it while working on cider" he replied not even slightly offended by Parodius ignoring what he said before. "But I can still make cider" Carbon Cider continued,trotting out from behind the stand,showing a cider mug cutie mark. "We should take some off this to Grease and Sunny" Obsidian thoughtfully said "Before a pair of ponies drinks it all" he continued looking at Cheesecake and Cott'n'Candy,"Sorry!" the twins said once again in unison.

Parodius,Obsidian,Carbon Cider and the Pie Twins went down to a field under Cloudsdale. "So why did you bring me here?" Parodius asked "Because this is where Grease and Sunny practice" Cott'n'Candy replied,"When the two get tired from racing,they'll want something to drink" Carbon Cider continued patting the saddlebag with two large bottles of cider inside it. A short but stocky mare galloped past them,bumping into Parodius. "I-i'm sorry" the mare said stepping off Parodius "No problem,just watch where you're going" Parodius said in an annoyed tone. "Sunny Red,my ever so shy cousin,where in Equestria is Grease?" Carbon Cider said handing Sunny a bottle of cider. "He's at Sweet Apple Acres helping with apple collecting" she replied. Sunny Red was a short but strong looking mare,she was colored a pale peach color with her mane being a bit darker,peach was a color that ran in the Apple Family nowadays. Her Cutie Mark was a bushel of peaches and apples. Galloping back to Sweet Apple Acres,Parodius and the gang came to a bunch of trees with the apples and peaches knocked down,"Looks like Grease has been busy" Cheesecake commented,"How dare he!" Sunny shouted "Without the rest of his team?!" she angrily continued "Not on our watch!" Cott'n'Candy yelled,not taking the matter as seriously as Sunny,"We'll show him,Cott'n! Thundery Surprise formation!" Cheesecake shouted,and him and Cott'n'Candy ran off into the tree grove. "I'm having trouble processing this" Parodius squeaked,a confused look on his face. "Well,every cider season,Sunny gets Grease to help her collecting the apples and peaches for the Sparkling Cider" Carbon Cider explained "Grease must've gotten impatient and started himself,I did notice a lack of Sunny's existance this morning" he continued. Obsidian commented on the matter "Well,he'll be surprised in three,two,one-",suddenly a flash of lightning and a explosion of confetti was seen and heard. "And he got his surprise" Obsidian finished,trotting over to where the confetti originated. "Do they do this often?" Parodius asked Carbon Cider "Oh yes,yes they do" Carbon Cider answered while trotting away from Parodius,"Lovely,I just looove surprises" Parodius unhappily replied.

"Uncle! I didn't mean it!",a cyan pegasus was getting a horrible noogie from Sunny,"Greased Lightning you will NOT start cider season without me ever again!" Sunny shouted messing up Grease's mane. "Uhhh am I interrupting something?" Parodius said in a very confused tone. "No,not really,she does this a lot" Grease replied while having his face squished around. "Alright Sunny,I think Grease has had enough" Obsidian said,"Thank youuu" Grease said. Greased Lightning was a cyan stallion with a rasberry and dark blue mane/tail in a Blitz style,his cutie mark was a kicked in punching bag.

"Hey-o there!" Grease shook Parodius's hoof violently,"Uhhm nice to meet you" Parodius replied rubbing his hoof,"What brings you here?" Grease asked,"Princess Twilight told me I had to make some friends" Parodius replied.

"Friends huh? Well you have some right here" Obsidian commented.
