mylittlejamjar | APPLE FACTS 18: APPLE TREES BLOSSOM IN SPRING AND MATURE IN AUTUMN [Visual]

So it looks like my ass has actually stayed stuck here for a full year, which I guess is kind of damn near amazing because you'd think the thing keeping us here would have gotten tired of my ass by now. But hey tell you what: because I'm in such a damn good mood, let's celebrate. You come to my farm today and if you're able to tell me an accurate fact about apples, I'll give you something nice. P.S. what I'm giving you is gonna be some kick ass apple shit.

Other than that know I've been asking for a lot of help lately but I gotta ask for a little more. So this Gala thing...what the hell is the business for this shit? Like, fanciest dance I was ever at was prom, but I suspect spiking the punch with Jack Daniels and cough syrup and necking in the janitor's closet is probably gonna get my ass thrown out of there a shitton quicker than it did at prom. I mean hell, I'm usually up for raising a ruckus but, you know. Kind of like to just have a nice time for once.

Already got a dress worked on and on the way, just need to know if there's anything else I need to avoid aside from how it's bad manners to flip tables over or punch a waiter or something.

Oh. Oh, okay then.

[She...she didn't really know what else she was thinking of...well. She does. But she doesn't know why she was thinking it. ...Is she really, deep down, that worried about her friends turning out to be like the ones she knew back home?

She needs to calm down.]

Hell. You ever become their friend at the end then?

Mm...no...after I had calmed down, I realized how bad I acted...and after that, I was too scared to try being friends with them again...I didn't want to scare them more...

Not a bad plan, I guess. I dunno.

Maybe this year they'd be willing to forgive and forget, you never know.

Mm...maybe...

[She's not entirely sure about that, but it'd be nice to think so.]

No harm in trying, right. Like at least this time you know not to go as hard as you maybe did last time.

[She nodded.] I guess so...maybe if I just sit in the gardens, it won't be so bad...

Yeah, if that's what you want to do.

Hey.

You've been. Uh. Okay, right?

Hmm...?

[It takes her a moment realize what she's talking about.]

Oh...yes, I've...I've been getting by...

Okay. Just.

Tell me if you ever need someone to talk with about it. I, shit, I know I'm not the best at comfort but I've done it the most out of everyone here so. I know the most of what you could be going through.

Mm...I know...Thank you.

Are...you okay though?

Hell, you don't gotta worry about me.

I'm fine.

Mm...okay...but if you ever want to talk...I'm here for you too, okay?

I know.

Thank you, Shy. I really appreciate it, and everything the ponies here have done for me.

[She smiles gently and nods.] You're welcome...

[She lets the moment settle for a moment before clearing her throat.]

So you're thinking of going to the Gala...?

Thinking I am, yeah. Never been to one before, you know?

Mm...it's pretty nice...it's kind of one of those upper-class things. But it's a big event, and it's fun to go just to experience it...

We'll see. I'm not the biggest fan of upper class crap but I'll give it a shot, see how it goes down.

I think I could use the break, honestly.

Mm...I think it'd be a bit more fun if you did come, though...

[It certainly would liven it up.]

Pretty sure I'm coming. Have to make a big ass explanation to my date if I didn't.

Oh, you have a date already?

Eh, you could call it that. Not really anything serious but, hey, I'd like to think of it that way.

Mm...

[Right.]

So who are you going with?

Dandy. You know. The giant space chicken that's been going around.

Dandy...Oh, the griffon?

[How did that happen?]

Yeah.

I know the dude is kinda a jackoff but...he ain't half bad. Least good enough I'd wine and dine him at this thing.
