Tucked between the farthest hills of Sweet Apple Acres, hidden by the oaks that border Whitetail Woods, sits a knoll with a single tree. Beneath the branches of this tree are two stones, marking the final resting place of two special ponies. Each year, the Apple family make a trip together to visit the site of their dearly departed kin, a trip that starts with fond memories and always ends in tears.

At least, such is the case for most of the family. The youngest Apple, however, has struggled to form the same emotions, especially in recent years. So, on a whim, she decides to make a separate trip to visit her parents – this time, with a friend.
