Applejack's Family Bonding

You've got this; best just to keep to yourself and see if you can sneak out. After all, you’re a resourceful guy, you can find your own way.

You head on upstairs and get your homework done before taking a shower, and then go downstairs to have dinner with your parents. You grab a seat, your dad clapping you on the back hard enough to crack your spine a little bit.

"How are you doin' my boy? Still gettin those good grades?" Your dad was a plow-puller for an apple farm up by way of Appleloosa, and he met your mom when she was called in to be architect of nearby guardhouse; they were an odd paring, but there was plenty of love there too. "I swear, if your grandpop could see you now working yer tail off with those train engines down by the yard he'd be singin' your praises from the mountaintops."

He then goes on to discuss the local harvest with gusto as your mom nods, and talks about her new project up by Canterlot that she has tomorrow; The main issue being that she'll have to get up at five in the morning. Suddenly, it clicks that this means they’ll both have to get up early, thus they’ll be turning in by eight tonight; SCORE!You clear your plate with ease and are excused, tossing your dishes in the sink and and heading up to your room until it’s time.

You wait until they’re both asleep, and then slip out of your bed. You are in your room; an open window is on the eastern wall, and there is a tree a small distance out. Your door lies on the north side, by your magic books and hat. Your bed is at your back, holding one white sheet, one pillow, and one wadded up tissue from an earlier, uh, indiscretion..

Go for the window and the tree; Trusting in the Plants

Just leave through the hall; 2Spooky
