1st Apple ❦

[allsweetheart]

I dunno 'bout you folk, but I'm looking forward to Summer. Y'all wanna know why?

Rodeos, that's why!

Ain't nothin' like riding on horseback and wranglin' cattle with the best of them! Quidditch comes close, but I'll be honest; gimme four hooves and a saddle any day of the week. And I'm competing in li'l old America this year! First time away from home and only 23 weeks left t' go!

Riding a horse sounds like it would be so much fun! And wow, America! I hope you have fun on your travels!

[allsweetheart]

It's the best fun, Punzie! I could teach y'all if you ever wanted to learn. It's not that hard!

I'm definitely looking forward to it. I feel bad leaving the family during summer, let alone harvesting season, but Big Mac said he can handle it. I just don't want him to push himself too hard, s'all.

[magichairbrush]

Really? Thank you so much, I'd love that... But where would we get the horses?

Oh, I don't think you should feel bad. I'm starting to learn that when your family loves you, they let you do your own things and be your own person. And they want you to be happy.

[allsweetheart]

Well if ya like you could come spend a few days at the farm before I go and we could do it there? I dunno if we have horses here.

Heh. Guess I'm having my own lesson thrown back at me there. Thanks, Punzie.

38O You ride )(orses? I always wanted to learn, but Mot)(er says t)(ey're dirty.

Congratulations on getting to go to America! By yourself? T)(at's so -EXCITING! 38D

[allsweetheart]

Sure as sugar do, Fef. And they're only dirty if you don't take care of them. We give our horses down on the farm baths and brush downs regularly.

Yeah by myself! And you're darn tootin' it's exciting. I can't wait!

[cuddlefishpeixes]

O)(! T)(en I'm sure your )(orses are very )(appy! 38)

Gos)(, I would be scared to go to America all by myself! But I know you'll )(ave a lot of fun!

[allsweetheart]

Happiest horses if there ever were. We need their help t' round up the cattle and all.

I'll admit it is a bit scary, but I'm just looking at it like an adventure!

[cuddlefishpeixes]

T)(at's a good way to look at it. Adventures are always fun, even w)(en t)(ey get a little intimidating.

But you've got to be careful, Applejack! And make sure to take lots of pictures and tell us all about it w)(en you get back! 38D

[ladyliberty]

No kidding! Getting out of the city is the absolute best part of summer!

[allsweetheart]

Well I dunno about the city, since my folk's farm is a couple of hours outside o' London, but it will be nice to get outta the country!

[ladyliberty]

I've always wanted to go to America. You'll have to tell us all about it!

[allsweetheart]

I'll bring back some Muggle photos to show y'all!

[ladyliberty]

Oooh, muggle photos are so creepy!

[thisonetime_withkeith]

oh man! i aint ever thought id meet somebody who even knew what a rodeo was here!

[allsweetheart]

No way! Y'all know what a rodeo is? Well ain't that the berries? I thought I was the only one who liked 'em!

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Are ya kiddin? what kinda southern boy would i be if i didnt like rodeos?!

[allsweetheart]

One who weren't impressin' this li'l ol' southern gal right this minute.

The name's Applejack. Y'all can call me AJ.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

welp my names Ellis!

Where ya been? We shoulda known eachother forever!

[allsweetheart]

Beats me, but I could say the same for y'all, Ellis.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

well better late then never huh?

my parents try and take me to america every summer to visit my best friend keith... oh man, lemme tell ya about keith, that guys a nut. i bet youd like him! oh but anyway we should go to a rodeo together! i could watch ya compete too!

[allsweetheart]

You betcha.

Well that's mighty nice o' your parents. I've never been able to afford t' go 'till this year, since we use whatever money we get to spruce up th' farm a bit an' last year we finally replaced Granny's saggy ol' hip.

Y'all don't hafta watch me compete if you're goin' with your folks.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

aw man im sorry your granny broke her hip! that always stinks! one time keiths granny broke her hip, man he had to help her out for weeks. Aint a good time thats for sure!

and naw watchin you would be awesome! and ya know you could probably stay with keith! i mean, it aint like his parents would care or nothin. theyre some of the most welcomin people ever! they love havin guests! its kinda southern thing.

well i mean, southern people can be mean too. but the right ones are real nice like keiths family! ya just might need a few sleepin bags... but man ya should see his house durin family gatherins like reunions or funerals, that place is packed!

[allsweetheart]

She was teachin' my li'l sister kung fu when it happened. Still have no clue why Apple Bloom wanted to learn that.

Well I'll take ya kindly up on that offer, if that'll be okay with him an' all. Sleepin' bags won't be no problem either since I was just gonna go with the hotel the contestants were stayin' at.

[thisonetime_withkeith]

Whoa! Well who wouldn't wanna learn kung fu! i cant believe your granny knows kung fu!

but anyway yeah it sure would be okay with him! but just to make super double sure ill send him an owl.

cept i dont got an owl so i guess ill hafta borrow one from that owl house thing. but yeah ill do that and then letcha know ok?
