Even after the Draining and the collision of their two worlds, work doesn't stop needing done, and the Apples are Ponies who understand this clearly. They keep on working hard at Sweet Apple Acres, lead by Apple Bloom who has grown into a fine young mare.

Sure, Big Macintosh may have to take things a bit easier since he's still recovering, but that's why they hired that New Foal, Sebastian. And it's also why they let Snips and Snails move in after a bad storm wrecked their house a year back.

Of course, the hard work always stops, if only for a little while, whenever a specially marked letter comes home to roost. Maybe this time, it'll carry a promise that a piece of the Apple Family Pie is coming back home.
