It took a bit, but Celestia and Spitfire arrived at a nice lodging.

"...Wow, I never knew Captain Dash could be humble." Spitfire said.

"It took a while before she actually talked to me like a normal pony would. So, are you sure my sister is here?" Celestia asked.

"More then anything else." Spitfire said and opened the door to walk inside. Inside, Celestia found her sister wearing her royalty costume again.

"Sis!" Luna shouted before she suddenly tacked her sister into a hug. "What are you doing here?" Luna asked.

"Princess Twilight sent me down here to oversee the Sun Celebration event." Celestia said. "And she also told me to make some friends while I was down here in the process." She added.

"Really? Well you've already met Spitfire whose become quite a close friend of mine after everything that happened at Flight Camp, but I just gotta introduce you to the other friends I've made here. In fact, last I checked, the others just so happen to be in charge of the other stuff like decorations, food, and the actual party for afterwards." Luna said.

"What about music?" Celestia asked.

"That was my job, but I already have it more then covered. I managed to find Vinyl Scratch down here. THE Vinyl Scratch. Better known as our favorite musician, DJ-P0N3!" Luna said.

"DJ-P0N3 LIVES HERE?!" Celestia exclaimed.

"You bet she does. But we should introduce you to the others before her. There'll be time to introduce you to Vinyl Scratch after the celebration." Luna said.

"Your right sis. So, where are we going first then?" Celestia said.

"I bet your feeling hungry, so let's go meet Buttercup." Luna said and lead the way.

"It'll be awesome to see Buttercup again, count me in!" Spitfire said and also joined the duo.

The trio soon arrived at a farm located just outside Ponyville where they say two earth ponies: A mare and a stallion.

"Whose the Stallion?" Celestia asked.

"Oh that? That's just Buttercup's Fiancé. His full name is Bright Macantosh but everyone just calls him Bright Mac." Spitfire said.

"Fiancé? Aren't they a little younger then most couples are?" Celestia asked.

"Ya wouldn't be the first to wonder that." Bright Mac said, approuching the trio. "Whose this unicorn?" He asked.

"Bright Mac chill, this is my sister, Celestia." Luna said.

"Ah. Family then." Bright Mac said, smiling.

"And my BSBFF." Luna said. "That means Big Sister Best Friend Forever." She added. Buttercup chuckled as she approuched the group.

"Howdy there, I'm Buttercup." Buttercup said. "Well...at least that's the name I go by now." She added.

"Now? What do you mean now?" Celestia asked.

"Her original name was Pear Butter, she's originally from the pear family, and it was love from the time we were both just kids. We loved each other so much, we had a wedding in secret but..." Bright Mac said.

"But our parents found out anyways. Ma dad told me that if ah chose Bright Mac over ma original family, ah would be disowned by the Pear family. Of course Bright Mac was given the same ultimatum. So ah made my choice: whichever family Bright Mac chose, ah would choose as well. And of course, Bright Mac chose the Apples." Pear Butter AKA Buttercup said.

"After that, Pear Butter was allowed to live with me and ma family on one condition: She had to legally change her name to something unrelated to pears. So, she decided to go with Buttercup." Bright Mac said.

"Which I was fine with. If ma originally family wanted nothin' to do with me; then ah was all to happy to legally change ma name." Buttercup said.

"Which is when ah knew you were the right one for my son." A green earth pony mare soon joined them.

"Hi ma." Bright Mac said. "Everypony, this is ma ma; Apple Smith." He said.

"It's nice to meet you." Celestia said.

"Ma policy is that honesty will always set you on the right path in life." Buttercup said. "And ah managed to find more honesty with the Apple Family then I ever did with the Pears." She added.

"If yer daddy didn't want ya for yer honesty, then that's his loss." Apple Smith said.

"So Buttercup, Celestia here is checking up on preparations for the food for the Sun Celebration event. But after coming all this way down from Canterlot and meeting back up with her sister, Luna believes she's hungry." Spitfire said. Just then, Celestia's stomach grumbled.

"...My apologies...I haven't really ate since breakfast." Celestia said, blushing.

"Ah don't worry. We got quite a bit a food to spare." Buttercup said. "Mrs. Apple Smith, would you mind if after my friends have their fill, ah help Celestia out in touring Ponyville? It'd be great to see all my other friends." She asked.

"Ah don't see why not. It's not everyday we get a student of Princess Twilight Sparkle visiting our quiet little town. You just make sure to come back home after the big event ya hear?" Apple Smith asked.

"Of course Mrs. Apple Smith." Buttercup said.

"...Ah really wish you'd call me yer own ma." Apple Smith muttered under her breath. She decided she'd worry about all this later. For now, the apple family had guests.

Author's Note

If both Bright Mac and Pear Butter being alive is weird to you, please remember, this is an alternate timeline. Because Applejack is much older then the two who are her parents from the original timeline, Bright Mac and Pear Butter thus would be still be alive in this timeline but have no kids yet. This also explains why Granny Apple Smith is much younger and is just called "Apple Smith" in this timeline.
