Apples Under the Mistletoe

AJ P.O.V

  I woke up with a pounding headache from the night before, and Applebloom nudging me wasn' t much help.

  "Applebloom, what do you want?"

  "Um, I think you could come downstairs."

  I lifted my head off the pillow to see Applebloom in a distress state. I groaned as I got up off my bed before I could rest my head back down to make my headache go away and followed Applebloom downstairs.

  "So, what's the problem?" I asked.

  "More like a surprise if you ask me," Applebloom said," Just look for yourself."

  We rounded the corner to the first floor of the house, and I couldn't believe my eyes. Flim and Flam were standing in our living room, and the worst part was that Big Mac and Granny  Smith were smiling, not yelling at them to leave.

  "Uh," I started out," Granny, what's going on here?"

  "These two, manipulatin' whippersnappers are here to help us 'course!"

  Was she being for real? Did they give her another tonic to get her to lie? I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. First Flim and Flam appearing and then finding out they're here to help! What in Equestria was happening to me?

  "What are you talking about, Granny?"

  As Granny  was about to respond, Flim cut in and told me himself what was going on.

  "Well, as you know, dear Applejack, and probably despise, we were nothing but cruel and despicable to you and your family. After our last run in at the swim meet, we decided our inventions were going to far, and we had to put a stop to this before it became something worse. Now, we are not here just to apologize for how much despair we caused on your family but to also help on the farm to make up for what we did. I know this is all of a sudden and you don't think to highly of this idea, but Flam and I decided this was a better time than ever to help you ponies with Hearth's Warming coming up soon. We figured you ponies would have lots of work, and by what Big Macintosh has told us, there is a lot of work to be done. We are more than willing to help your family get ready for Hearth's Warming Eve."

  Flim looked back at his brother, who then added," We don't expect you ponies to be instantly friendly with us, but we would like to show you nice folks how nice we can really be."

  After taking all of this into account, I could've sworn my head was about to burst, but instead I passed out from all of the overwhelming thoughts flowing through my mind. The last thing I remember seeing before I toppled over was Flim running towards me.
