Long Lost Friends

It was a lavender Unicorn, with another colt, who looked like her brother. Also, there was a mare as well, and she looked like she could be her mother.

"Twilight!" Applejack shouted to that lavender Unicorn.

Twilight. Such a sweet name.

"Applejack!" she responded to Applejack.

Well now Big Macintosh knew who that Unicorn was.

"Oh man, it sure is nice to see ya again Twilight."

"Same to you." then they both hugged each other.

"Well, hello Applejack." that older mare said to Applejack.

"Twilight's mom, it nice to see ya again too."

"Same to you." the older mare replied.

"Hey Applejack." the colt that was with Twilight.

"Hey Shining Armor, how ya'll been?"

"I've had better days."

"Heh, havn't we all? Oh, I almost forgot, Big Macintosh!" Applejack shouted to her brother.

Big Macintosh froze in place. He was really nervous meeting that pretty filly and the other two. But, he quickly shook that fear away and trotted to the group. As he got closer, he noticed he was a bit bigger than the colt standing next to Twilight. And about neck level to the older mare.

"Everyone, this is mah big brother, Big Macintosh."

"Well hello there Big Macintosh." the older mare said to him. But he said nothing.

"He don't really talk much." Applejack pointed out.

"Well that's nothing to be ashamed of." the older mare said.

"Wait, Big Macintosh you said?" the colt asked.

"Yup, that's his name."

"I think I remember you."

Big Macintosh started to get nervous.

"Weren't you that colt that always sat at an empty table during lunch?"

"Eyup." Big Macintosh said sadly.

"He don't got no friends." Applejack added.

"Well, I'll be happy to be your friend Mac" the other colt said to him.

"Me too!" Twilight added.

This caused Big Macintosh to smile.

"Well thank ya'll very much. Big Mac would love that." Applejack said to all of them. That's when the school bell rang.

"Well, all of you better get to class. Don't wanna be late on your first day!" the older mare said to the younglings.

"By the way, I'm Shining Armor, and this is my little sister Twilight."

Big Macintosh just smiled.

"I'll be here after school to take you two home!" Shining Armor's and Twilight's mother yelled out to them before the doors closed behind them.

Twilight and Applejack headed into a different direction to their classroom, while Big Macintosh and Shining Armor went to theirs. Soon enough, they saw, "2nd Grade" sign next to a door.

When they entered, they saw all of the filly's and colts they saw last year. Some were talking amongst each other, some were preparing themselves for the class to start, and some were just waiting at a random desk. Shining Armor and Big Macintosh put their saddle bags at the cubbies near the doorway and sat down at desks somewhere in the middle of all the class.

"So, what did you do during summer Big Mac?" Shining Armor asked.

Big Mac was too shy to respond.

"Well?"

He remained silent.

"Huh, you don't talk much do you?"

"Nope."

"Hey, you just talked. That's good."

"Eyup."

"Hey, you just said another word. Soon enough you'll-"

"Good morning class!" somepony said as they entered the classroom.

"Good morning!" everypony replied at the same time.

"I hope you all had a very fun summer. My name is Ms...."

Big Macintosh wasn't really paying attention after that. He was just thinking of Twilight the rest of the school day.

Finally, the school bell on top of the school rang. Everypony scattered out the door and headed on back to their homes. Shining Armor and Big Macintosh were waiting for their little sisters outside the hallyway of their classroom. Soon enough, they went out the kindergarden class and saw their brothers standing there.

Hi girls!" Shining Armor said.

"Hi!" Twilight and Applejack said at the same time.

"How was your first day of school?"

"It was better than I expected. First, we started learning the alphabet. Then we learned some numbers, then we-"

"Then we hoofpainted!" Applejack interrupted.

"Oh yeah, and we hoofpainted."

"Sounded like fun."

"It was! So, what did you do?"

"Well-"

"There you two are," Twilight and Shining Armor's mother showed up from down the hallway, "come on, we have to go home."

"Okay!" Shining Armor said as he walked past his mother and out the door.

"Hey, Big Macintosh?" Twilight asked.

Big Macintosh looked at Twilight.

"I was thinking, maybe you wanna go and play with me tomorrow?"

Big Macintosh smiled, "Eyup."

"Yay! See you tomorrow!" Twilight waved to him and ran off.

Big Macintosh trotted his way out the school door.

"Well there ya are yungin'. Come on, we best be gittin' home!" Granny Smith said while carrying Applebloom.

"Howdy Applebloom. Do ya'll wann hear what ah did t'day?"

Applebloom made a small giggle.

"Okay, well first..."

Then the Apple Family made there way back to their farm.

It was about sunset when the Apple Family made it back home. Applejack was still talking about her say at school, while Applebloom was happily listening to. Well, at least trying to.

They went inside the Apple Family home and Big Macintosh and Applejack set their saddle bags next to the doorway.

"And that's what ah did in school today." Applejack finished up her story to Applebloom.

"Well, that must've been reall fun for ya Applejack!" Granny Smith said.

"It was the most fun ah ever had! Plus, ah saw mah other friends too!"

"What did you do Big Macintosh? Did ya have fun?" Granny Smith turned to Big Mac

"Eyup."

"That's good. Now you two go wash up, dinner's almost ready." Granny Smith and Applebloom went into the kitchen.

Big Macintosh and Applejack went to the bathroom and took turns washing their hooves. After that, they headed downstairs to get some dinner. They entered the kitchen to see some delicious mashed potatoes with some boiled peas and carrots, with some water.

They all sat at their rightful spots at the dinner table. Except, there were only two un-filled chairs.

"Now, before we eat, we need to say our prayers. Who would like to do it?" Granny Smith asked. It was silent for a moment, but Big Macintosh raised his hoof.

"Okay Big Macintosh, go ahead."

They held on to each others hooves and closed their eyes. Except Applebloom.

*ahem* "We would like to thank for this yummy food mah Granny cooked for mah family. We are hoping it will give us energy to get up and do our work here at the farm."

Big Macintosh sighed nervously.

"And....ah would like to thank...mah Granny, for taking care of me, Applejack, and lil' Applebloom...after ma and pa...." Big Macintosh's eyes were started to tear up.

He cleared his throat, "Celestia bless our food, amen."

"Amen." Applejack and Granny Smith said after Big Macintosh. They looked back at him, and say that some tears were going down his eyes.

"That was beautiful sonny." Granny Smith said to Big Macintosh.

Big Mac just smiled.

"Well, let's dig in."

After another fantastic dinner by Granny Smith, the Apple Family decided to get some sleep. Granny Smith brought Applebloom into her room, while Applejack and Big Macintosh went to their rooms. Since the room that their mother and father slept in still had their bedding in, Big Mac and Applejack still shared rooms.

"So ah heard you an' Twilight are gonna go play after school."

"Eyup."

"That's great Big Mac!"

"Eyup."

And so, they finally went to sleep.
