The Apple Family gathers together one Autumn evening for a very special family dinner at Sweet Apple Acres, as part of a special family reunion organized by Granny Smith.

What makes it so special, you ask? Well, each Apple gets to bring one guest along to count as honorary family. All that matters is that they have a special connection to the one inviting them.

Granny Smith chooses Grand Pear, her one time business rival now trying to make up for lost time. Big Macintosh brings his mare friend, Sugar Belle, for her first Apple Family get together. Applejack invites Rara to take a break from her music career and rekindle an old friendship. And Apple Bloom (taking the advice of her fellow Crusaders) agrees to let Diamond Tiara come so that the filly can get away from her troubles for a while.

But what will these honorary family members have to say? And what will the Apples chat about around the dinner table?
