Applejack blinked as the bay doors opened, making her wince as Celestia's sun pierced her eyes. She blinked a few times, before looking around, seeing other soldiers getting ready and packing. She got up, adjusting the Stetson on her head, she grabbed her bag, slowly watching as the doors finished opening.

"Ya got any family waiting for ya?" A dragoness asked behind her, Barb was her name. Barb had light green eyes, the pupils slitted, like a snake. She had dark purple scales, emerald green spines and underbelly. She was a little taller then Applejack, but, considering Barb was a dragon, it made sense.

"I hope so." Applejack said, giving a soft smile, hearing someone shout, but, she didn't pay attention.

"Well, let me give you a bit of advise, my friend; take some time to relax. It's one of the few things they don't train you for." Barb said in a joking attitude, making the farm mare chuckle.

"Alright! Let's head out!" A stallion yelled, making the duo follow the group.

Applejack closed her eyes, giving a smile as she heard the giggling of a foal. The smell of burning wax met her nostrils, before the giggling was hushed.

"Don't look, give us a minute." A female voice said, signaling it was Applebloom.

"Yeah, Mom, don't look yet." A young, male voice said, making Applejack smile more.

"Okay, open your eyes now."

Applejack opened her eyes, before giving a gasp of surprise. There it was; a chocolate cake. It had frosting, pink in color, around the edges, with the crude drawing of a dragon-pony hybrid on it, and Applejack on it.

"Oh mah stars!" Applejack said, before looking at the Kirin and Applebloom, seeing them smile. The Kirin has a dark green mane, with emerald eyes, sharp canines, and only stood up to Applejack's waist. His scales were under his dark purple fur, dark purple in color as well.

His name was Minilla, having dark green freckles on his cheeks. The small rows of spikes when down his back, emerald green in color, his long tail waving behind him, showing her was excited. His head was bear like, him showing jewel eating teeth.

"Aunty Pinkie Pie made this for you, mommy!" Minilla said, smiling happily, putting the cake on the table, a sign hung from the ceiling behind him. It showed a crude drawing of the kirin and Applejack, saying, "WELCOME HOME, MOMMY" in orange letters.

He then pointed to the drawing, saying, "That's you. And that's me."

"What's it say?" She asked, grinning from the banner.

"Welcome home, Mommy." He read out.

"C'mon, Mini, we gotta eat this cake!" Applebloom said, excited, the teenage mare sitting down, the six year old kirin sitting down with them.

"Mommy's home. Means cake every night." Applejack said, making Applebloom giggle.

"No, Ah dun think so!" Applebloom proclaimed, despite Minilla's excited look.

"Mommy's home, means cake every night." Applejack said playfully, smiling, despite Applebloom's playful objections.

She stopped laughing, only to look at Minilla, noticing the brown spot on Minilla's eye. "How did ya'll get cake on your eye?" Applejack asked, licking her finger, then wipe it away.

"Aunty did it." Minilla said, making them laugh again.

A hour later, Applejack laying in bed with Minilla, tickling his stomach, making him laugh and giggle, squirming under her one armed hug. His eyes were filled with joy, making Applejack laugh.

"If ya'll keep gigglin', Ah can't go tah sleep." She said playfully, before she settled him down, smiling.

"Mom, will you be here tomorrow?" Minilla asked innocently, making Applejack kissing his forehead.

"Of course Ah will." Applejack promised, making him smile contently. "Now, night, mah little angel."

"Night mommy." He said, giving her a kiss on the cheek, before closing his eyes and resting on the pillow.

She got out of his room, softly closing the door behind her, giving a happy sigh. Applejack was now 24 years old, and a happy mother. She lived with the Elements of Harmony in Ponyville, exactly seven years after Lord Tirek was defeated. Twilight said she and the other Princesses had found something, so she had to travel all the way to Japony to get it.

She sighed sadly, remembering what happened that fateful day, so many years ago. She missed Macintosh dearly, but, she tried to move one, Faust rest his soul. She went downstairs, sitting down with Applebloom, seeing her get some cider for the both of them.

"So, got any interesting stories from the front? How's Uncle Sarge doin'?" Applebloom asked, making Applejack smile.

"Ya know Sarge, "killing the dirty blue scourge" and whatnot. He's still got his trusty shotgun with 'im too." Applejack replied, then started to drink the cider. "And get this, they seem to have somehow "traveled forward in time". That's gonna be a long story to tell."

"Well, we got nothin' but time." Applebloom offered, ready to hear the story.

"Well, it all started in a place called "Blood Gulch", an-"

"RIIIIIING!"

"Ah'll get it." Applebloom said, going to the phone. "Ya'll are still tellin' me that story." She picked it up. "Hello?"

"Who is it?" Applejack asked, before she saw the young mare smile.

"Yeah, we're her Grandaughters. Applejack and Applebloom." She then fell silent. "She did what?!"

Applejack's ears flattened, her cringing from the yell. "Can ya'll keep it doww? Some of us have kids sleepin' in tha house."

"Alrighty, we'll be right there." Applebloom said, sighing. She hung the phone up, before looking at Appejack. "It's Granny Smith. Ponies in Japony have arrested her, she was caught outside the fence, again."

Applejack sighed, before getting up. "Where's mah hat?"
