Oh my, is it snack time? Is there anything good to eat in the fridge? (Or pantry?)
“We’ve got hay sandwiches, apples, some pastries from Sugarcube Corner. Basically nothing really that different than most ponies in Ponyville.”
“Except for emeralds and sapphires and rubies and topaz and onyx and quartz and-”
“Right right, Spike eats gemstones along with what ponies eat. So that’s something ‘interesting’, but not really 'good’ in my opinion. And as a kid I tried one to see why he liked it… I lost about five teeth that day.”
So have you talked to Applejack to see how she feels about the farm's expansion?
“She’s been really busy.”
“Extremely. I’ve barely had time to talk to her, she’s been so busy. At least nowadays she is actually resting every once in a while- even if it’s still not as much as we think she needs-, and it hasn’t gotten to the same level as last Applebuck season. ”
“Yeah, no more ‘Baked Bads’. I don’t know why anypony didn’t like them!”
“Honestly, I think I might be using the wrong word- I’m not versed in that type of jargon. It was just a fully detailed story about the farm. I didn’t get a chance to read it myself. I think there was a mention of a possible one between Big Mac and Cheerilee in the tabloids, but that isn’t really an affair.”
“I read a bit about it!”
“Spike?”
“Yeah, Rarity showed me the newspaper and the tabloid. The tabloid was just some horseapples about Granny Smith faking her injuries, the CMC being used to mess up the farm to get money from insurance, and Big Mac running off with Cheerilee and leaving the farm. The newspaper, which actually had facts and stuff, was just about how Applejack is really helping the farm expand! I think… I didn’t really pay much attention to the news either.”
