The Apple family are known throughout the whole of Equestria for many reasons.

The first and most obvious reason being their various varieties of succulent apples.

Secondly, it was home to not one but two of Equestria's greatest heroes and Elements of Harmony, Applejack and Rainbowdash.

Finally, the aforementioned mares were the first Lespony couple to naturally conceive children. Using a technique almost no-one knew about until that day. The day everything was revealed. The day everything changed.

It was a cold spring afternoon in the rural town of Ponyville. Winter's chill had not quite left the air.

School had just let out for the day and the streets were full of the voices and laughter of many fillies and colts. Most walked with their parents or friends. Many walked with their siblings. Others walked alone.

On the outskirts of Ponyville lay an orchard. A large archway adorned the entrance; entwined with climbing ivy and roses.

Hanging in this archway was an old wooden sign engraved with a single apple. This had been made by Applejack's father before his untimely death many moons ago.

A well-trodden dirt path lead from the entrance of the farm to the door of the bright red farmhouse. The faint, sweet smell of apple pie wafted through the fields and orchards on the premise.

Applejack stood at the sink doing the day's washing up. She wore a pale pink apron. While pink was certainly not her colour Rarity had made it especially for her and it was functional. Annoyingly enough.

The farmhouse door creaked open as Applejack's daughter Zap Apple trotted inside. She took her school saddle bad, which was undoubtedly filled with books and the like, in her teeth and set it down on the kitchen table.

Zap Apple, occasionally referred to by her friends and family as Zap, was a cyan Pegasus with a mane every colour of the rainbow. She looked a lot like her other mother, Rainbowdash, and it was quite easy to mix them up- as many ponies often did.

The most noticeable differences being their eye colour (Zap Apple’s were green) and their cutie marks (Zap Apple's was as her name suggested a zap apple).

"Ma, can ah ask yer somethink," said Zap Apple blushing slightly. She had already picked up the Apple family drawl and that made it rather difficult for other ponies to understand her.

It was just the other day a particularly rude unicorn mare, who had been visiting from Manehatten, had accused her of being a witch of all things. The unicorn insisted she was speaking in a strange foreign language.

"Sure hun," answered Applejack returning to her washing up, completely oblivious to her daughter's blushing face. "What is it?"

"Well, we had sex-ed in school today... began Zap Apple. She promptly jumped out of her skin as Applejack dropped the plate she was drying on the floor. It shattered into a dozen pieces.

"Oh no! Ah, am really sorry 'bout that dear. Ah just weren't expecting that is all," said Applejack retrieving a battered broomstick that was leaning against the wall.

Carefully, she began sweeping up the ceramic shards taking care to not cut herself. She would need to buy a new plate at the market tomorrow. Oh well, she had been meaning to get some new ones for a while now.

"So what do you wanna know?" her voice slightly muffled by the broomstick handle in her mouth.

"Well Mrs Cherilee told us only a mare and a stallion could naturally have kids," her tone became quite serious. "Ma am ah adopted? Ah asked Mrs Cherrilee an' she said that was probably it,"

Applejack gave a deep sigh. “Ah guess yer old enough to know now. Can yer go get ya big brother while ah go grab Rainbow. Meet me in the front room," shouted Applejack as she cantered outside.

"What about the plate?" called Zap Apple but her mother was too far away to hear.

Shrugging Zap apple trotted upstairs to her elder brother’s room and stood outside the door.

"Lightning Blitz ma wants to talk to us downstairs. Come on!"

Do I have to? I'm busy!" Zap Apple knew this was a lie. Lightning graduated advanced school last year and was messing around a bit before joining the weather force. He was probably just fapping again.

She shuddered trying to force that memory out of her head. Why did she have to walk in on him? Celestia only knew!

She silently played he wouldn't be doing that again and burst into his room. She stumbled slightly: the room was pitch black. She pulled open the blue curtains and let some light into the room.

Her brother, who was in bed even though it was already the afternoon, hissed at the sudden intrusion of light. He actually hissed like an agitated bat pony.

"Who said you could come in here!" shouted Lightning.

"Me!" replied Zap Apple biting her brother's ear and pulling him out of bed. Half pulling and half leading him she dragged him to the door.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Leggo of my ear!"

*Outside*

"Rainbowdash come here this instant!" shouted Applejack at the top of her lungs. Which anyone who ever talked to her knows is pretty darn loud.

A few seconds later something appeared in the sky. Some would claim it to be a comet or a shooting star. However, Applejack knew exactly what it was. Rainbowdash.

She plummeted down to the earth at record speed and landed with a crash that could be heard from miles around. Afterwards she merely rolled over stood up and dusted herself off as if nothing had happened.

"Yes dear?" said Rainbow casually.

"Our kids wanna know how they were conceived,"

"HORSEAPPLES!" said Rainbow her head in her hooves. "This is going to be really awkward,"

And it was

Very awkward.

Very, very awkward.

So awkward I almost don't want to tell you what happened but...

...I'm weird so I will.

To be continued.
