No Pony Else Was In The Room Where It Happened. . .

"Oh, hey there Appleboom!"

"Hi Sweetie! Hi Scoots!"

"Did'ya se what happened between Strawberry and your sister?"

"Eyup."

"Right there on Main Street!"

"Eyup."

"They had a crazy shouting match, ready to buck out each other's teeth!"

"Eyup."

"And right after you stopped the feud with the Pears."

"Well, Ah'll just end this one too!"

"Well, you're a girl who cares."

"Eyup!"

"Now how are ya ever gonna stop this feud?"

"I guess I just need a way to change the mood."

"Really?"

"Make 'em talk less. . .
Smile more. . ."

"Huh?"

"Do whatever it takes to stop this brand new war."

"But, that Strawberry Sunrise is a jerk!"

"Well, hate the fruit, like the farmer!"

"Seriously?"

"Ah'm sorry girls, Ah've gotta go."

"But-."

"The truce is gonna happen during dinner."

A Strawberry and an Apple walk into a Pear's home
Diametrically opposed
Foes

They emerge with a compromise, having opened doors
That were previously closed
Pros

The Strawberry emerges with a hot new product
One that she can sell for however much she wants

The Apple emerges with a new market and buyer
And here's the pièce de résistance

Nopony else was in the room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened

Nopony else was in the room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened

No one really knows how the game is played
The art of the trade
How the sauce got made

We just assume that it happens
But nopony else is in the room where it happens

Grand Pear claims:
"Applebloom came and knocked on my door one day,
In distress and disarray."

Grand Pear claims:
"Applebloom said, 'Ah've nowhere else to turn!'
And basically begged me to join the fray."

Grand Pear claims:
"I approached Applejack and said,
'I know you hate her, but let's hear what she has to say.'"

Grand Pear claims:
"Well, I arranged the meeting.
I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating."

But

Nopony else was in the room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened

Nopony else was in the room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened

Nopony really knows how foes become friends
But like they say:
"Persistence pays dividends"

We just assume that it happens
But nopony else is in the room where it happens

Meanwhile:
Applejack is grappling with the fact that she can't find a buyer for every single apple.

Meanwhile:
Strawberry is not really sure how to use her crop
"Shortcake?"
It isn't pretty

Then Grand Pear approaches with a dinner and invite
And Strawberry responds with some Pegasi insight

"Maybe all apples need is a little help to be appetizing,
and I can score a win for strawberries, in other words. . ."

"Uh-huh. . ."

"A quid pro quo."

"Ah suppose."

"Strawberries could make your fruits a little sweeter, you know."

"Actually, Ah do."

"Well, I propose sauce."

"And Ah'll sell her the apples."

"Well, we'll see how it goes."

"Let's go!"

No-
-pony else was in the room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened

Nopony else was in the room where it happened
The room where it happened
The room where it happened

Good gosh, who can we trust?
Will we ever really know what got discussed?

Clip-clop, then it happened
And nopony else was in the room where it happened

But I gotta ask you, Grand Pear:
What did you say to get those mares to mash together their precious prized produce?

But I gotta ask you, Grand Pear:
Did Granny Smith know about the dinner?
Was there familial pressure to deliver?

But I gotta ask you, Grand Pear:
Or did you know, even then, it doesn't matter
What dish they made together

"'Cause they're both making bank
It their minds they're both hot
Thinking they got more that they gave
And they wanted what they got

When you've been around, you make some mistakes
But young ponies gotta learn from those mistakes
Oh, you get love for it, you get hate for it
You get nothing if you repeat it, repeat it, oh!

Pear Butter forgive me!
It's a relief to see that all this hate will never outlive me!

What did you want, Bloom?
What did you want, Bloom?
Why were you so determined, Bloom?
What did you want here?"

"Ah. . .
Just had to be here when it happened
Here when it happened

Ah. . .
Just had to be here when it happened
Here when it happened

Ah. . .
Just had to be here when it happened
Here when it happened

Ah. . .
Ah just had to be here

Oh. . .
Oh. . .
Ah just had to be
Here when it happened
Here when it happened
Here when it happened

But Ah had to here!" (when it happened)
"Ah had to be!" (here when it happened)
"Ah had to be!" (here where it happened)
"Oh, Ah had to be here when it happened!"

The art of the compromise

"Open yer heart and close yer eyes."

We want our elders to save the day

"But they don't always see things the right way."

We dream of a brand new start

"But Ma dreamt in the dark for the most part
Dark in her tomb, when it happened. . .

But Ah had to here!" (when it happened)
"Ah had to be!" (here when it happened)
"Ah had to be!" (here where it happened)
"Oh, Ah had to be here when it happened!

Ah had to be!
Ah had to be!
Ah had to be!
RIGHT HERE!!!!!!

Clip-clop!"
