Chapters The next day, the three girls are up with the sun and the smell of apple fritter pancakes. They then grab their pancakes and sit down and enjoy.
"MMM, these are delicious!" exclaims Babs.
"Thanks, they're a family favorite!" replies Applejack.
The three then stop talking and finish up their pancakes. They then go back to the bedroom and continue to tell stories before heading off to the pier that afternoon to play all the carnival games.
At the pier, the three play all sorts of carnival games together from basketball to ring toss to ping-pong toss. At the basketball game, Babs beats both of her cousins.
"How are you so good at this?" asks Apple Bloom stunned.
"I'm on my school's basketball team," replies Babs.
The three then head off to play the toss games and then the water gun shooting game. The three laugh and giggle as they see whose apple reaches the top first. The three girls are so glad they're all together and they can all agree they need to do extended sleepovers more often.
That night, the three pick back up on their game of hide and seek. They play for several hours on end, each taking turns seeking. Once they're done with their game, they go off for cinnamon nuts with Granny and Big Mack. The three are so glad to be together.
An hour later back at the farmhouse, the three begin up their game of hide and seek once again. The three take turns hiding in the apple barrels and even in the trees. As they hide, they can't help but laugh. Hide and seek is their favorite sleepover game.
After two more hours of hide and seek, the three go inside and begin playing charades. They charade everything from Winona to Daring Do and everything in between. As they play, they can't help but laugh. Babs is enjoying herself, she's just sad that tomorrow she has to return home because she doesn't want the fun to ever come to an end.
The next morning, Applejack and Apple Bloom take Babs back to the train station and wave her off as her train pulls out of the station. They are glad she got to spend the weekend with them and hope they can do it again soon. They then head back towards the farmhouse but not before stopping for lunch.
"I wish Babs could come over more often," says Apple Bloom to Applejack.
"Me too," replies Applejack.
The two then stuff their hayburgers in their faces. The two had a great weekend with Babs and they can't wait to do it again soon.
The end
It's a beautiful afternoon and Applejack and Apple Bloom are at the train station waiting for Babs train to arrive. A few hours later, it does and Babs hops off with a smile on her face, her bag at her side. She embraces her cousins in a hug and the three then head for the farm. She's ready for the weekend over at Apple Bloom's. She can't wait.
A few hours later back at the farmhouse, the three grab flashlights and head outside to begin an extreme game of hide and seek. As they run around the farm, they hide in various places and Babs happily finds them time and time again. After several hours of hide and seek, the three return inside and go into the girls' bedroom and begin to tell stories. The three can't help but smile. They are all enjoying the sleepover and they couldn't ask for more than that.
A few hours after that, the three go off and fill up on dinner of apple pie pancakes with caramel syrup. As they eat, the three catch up. "How are things going in Manehattan?" asks Apple Bloom.
"It's going fine," replies Babs with a smile. "I've made several new friends and put my bullies in their place!"
"That's great news!" replies Apple Bloom.
The three then finish up their pancakes and head off to play another round of hide and seek before doing another round of stories. The three are so glad to be together. It's a time to be carefree and have fun and none of them can argue with that.
"So, who wants to share their story first?" asks Applejack.
"I will," says Babs. She then begins the story. "Once upon a time, there was a large kingdom ruled by a beautiful princess. Her name was Sweetheart. All her subjects loved her because she was so nice and sweet to all of them. She'd bring them freshly baked cupcakes constantly or give them tickets to the newest plays. One day, though, Sweetheart was out running her rounds when she bumped into a handsome Knight named Sir Apple. The two soon fell in love and started dating. On their first date, the two happily go to the theater and enjoy the newest show. After the play, the two go off for a carriage ride through the valley. Sweetheart smiles as she nuzzles his shoulder. Sir Apple just smiles. A few days later, he asks her to marry him, to which she happily agrees. A week later, the two are wed and he becomes Prince Apple. It's their happily ever after, the two of them, helping their subjects every single day with good deeds, they'd have it no other way. The end."
"Great story!" replies Apple Bloom with a smile.
"Thanks, dad used to tell it to me when I was little," replies Babs with a smile.
"And maw used to tell that to us too before she died," adds Applejack. She then walks off to get them some fresh apple strudel out of the oven. A few minutes later, Applejack returns with the strudels and the three sit down and enjoy the treats as they laugh and joke and continue to tell stories. Applejack and Apple Bloom are glad Babs is in town for the weekend, it always makes everything so much more fun!
