"♪" "Whatcha doin'?" "Aaah!" "Aaah, yourself." "But that doesn't answer my question, silly." "Just some genealogical research." "Ohhhh." "(crash)" "(whisper)I don't know what that is." "Genealogy is the study of family history." "You know." "Where ponies comes from, and who they're related to." "Ooooh." "Fascinating." "Maybe you should pick one from the...top." "Uh-huh." "Interesting." "I see." "That makes sense." "Not much of a surprise there." "WHAT?" "THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER!" "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME HOW AMAZING THIS IS?" "Genealogy is better than cotton candy on top of a fountain of chocolate!" "(crash)" "You'll never believe who it says I'm related to!" "(knock on door)" "Hey, cousin!" "Applejack:" "This is just so excitin'!" "I can't hardly believe it!" "I know!" "Isn't it the best?" "I have another sister!" "I have another sister!" "Well, you actually have a fourth cousin twice removed by a fifth cousin, but that's like, exactly like a sister." "I try to tone it down a little bit around non family members, because I don't want to make them jealous, but..." "THIS IS THE BEST FAMILY EVER!" "(boing)" "It really is." "You are going to LOVE being an Apple." "I mean, you've got the playful one... (boing)" "(crash)" "The strong one..." "EEYUP!" "(splat)" "And of course, there's Granny Smith who knows everything about everything." "A Ponyville snail can hibernate for up to 48 moons." "Who knew?" "And then there's me." "(inhale and sigh)" "You smell that sweet apple air, Pinkie Pie?" "(sniff)" "That was rhetorical." "Of course, you smell it." "You're an Apple now." "And Applejack is the one responsible for it!" "Aw, Apple Bloom that is sweet but" "It's true!" "I mean she keeps us all organized and on schedule and does her own part on top if it all!" "Mm hm!" "I was already super happy as a Pie." "And now I get to be a part of this amazing family too?" "It's even more amazing now that you're in it!" "♪ We're family!" "We're family!" "♪" "♪ You and me are family!" "BEST FAMILY TWIRL EVER!" "(crash)" "I just can't believe we never heard anything about this before." "Hmmm." "What's wrong, sis?" "I'm not seein' where exactly it says we're family." "It's riiiiiiiiiiiight.... (gasp) riiiiiiiiiiiight...here!" "It is?" "Uh-huh." "Applesauce of the Apple family lineage is a fourth cousin twice removed of the Pie family." "I see the part about our Great, Great Auntie Applesauce and fourth cousin twice removed part, but that last bit's awful smudged." "Are you sure it says "Pie"?" "I guess it is a little smudged." "But I see most of it there, and when I read it, I knew in my heart it was true." "Well, ain't that just the sweetest thing." "It is, it is." "I'd just hate for us to get all excited before we found out for sure." "So how are we supposed to find out for sure?" "Cousin Goldie Delicious!" "Her cabin's practically an Apple family history museum." "If anypony has the records to back up Pinkie's theory, it's her!" "I suppose we could always..." "I mean Goldie Delicious doesn't live all that far away..." "And we haven't been on one as a family in a real long time..." "Are y'all thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" "FAMILY ROAD TRIP!" "Has anypony seen my travelin' bonnet?" "Isn't that it on your head?" "No." "It looks an awful lot like" "Well, it's ain't." "And that's final." "Hey everypony?" "Since Pinkie Pie is back home gettin' her stuff for the trip, can y'all gather round?" "I just wanted to say something real quick." "I've had somethin' in my teeth this whole time, haven't I?" "Gadsnickety, what a way to welcome a family member!" "Uh, no, Granny, your teeth are fine." "I just wanted to be sure that we're all on the same page about showing' Pinkie Pie how awesome a family we really are." "We want her to get to know the family she's been born into!" "But like, the best version of it, you know?" "Oh!" "Don't you worry, honey!" "We're a great family and she can't help but see it." "I bet my future cutie mark's gonna be a picture of me being the best behaved pony ever." "(crash)" "That's how good I'm gonna be!" "Big Mac?" "Eeyup!" "Pinkie:" "Are you all ready to go?" "Because I'm ready to go go go!" "Uh, Big Mac, are you sure we really need all that stuff?" "Eeyup." "Are you sure you're strong enough to really pull all that stuff?" "Eeyup!" "Are you sure the wagon's strong enough to hold it all?" "Eeyup." "Then let's get this show on the road!" "(squeaking and clanging)" "Come on Apples, y'all know this one, yeeeeehaw!" "Eeyup!" "We travel the road of generations, ♪" "♪ Joined by a common bond" "♪ We sing our song cross the pony nation ♪" "♪ From Equestria and beyond" "♪ We're Apples forever Apples together ♪" "♪ We're family but so much more ♪" "♪ No matter what comes we will face the weather ♪" "♪ We're Apples to the core!"

"(song ends)" "(crash)" "Big Mac!" "I thought you said-- (stops herself)" "I thought, I mean, not that I'm blaming you, because we don't blame in this family, but I thought you said all this stuff wasn't gonna be too heavy." "How are we supposed to get to Goldie Delicious now?" "I don't know, but I don't see how we can go back now either." "We're closer to cousin Goldie's than we are to home." "I have the best... idea... ever!" "FAMILY RIVER TRIP!" "Ha." "Just one problem." "We haven't got a raft." "About the only thing that didn't get packed." "Well, back in the old days we used to use the sap from a sugar pine tree to glue things together." "That is, uh, fascinating'." "Don't know that it's helpful, but it is fascinating'." "Not helpful, my patooty!" "We're gonna build ourselves a raft outta these here jalopy parts and keep it held together with sugar pine sap." "Hm." "Worth a shot." "Whoo hoo!" "(crash)" "Could be worse." "I guess." "Now remember, this time we're only packing' the necessities." "Wait a second!" "(poof)" "This one is for the scrapbook." "Applejack:" "Pinkie Pie, when did you have time to make this?" "Applejack, when you're family, you make the time." "Woo-hoo!" "We did it!" "Say "Soaked!"" "(whoosh)" "So what you're saying is, if I have the courage to jump, the parachute will open." "Eeyup!" "Whoa!" "That is deep." "Eeyup." "Uh-oh." "All right, y'all." "Please tell me that the map didn't get wet." "'Cause it looks like I'm gonna need it right about now." "Found it!" "♪ Who's got the map?" "I got the map. ♪" "♪ M to the A to the, that's right, P. ♪" "♪ Ain't no other pony find a map like me. ♪" "I'm Apple" " Uh-oh." "(gasp)" "Oh!" "(splash)" "(snap)" "(embarrassed laugh)" "All you had to do was bring it to me." "No singing', no dancing', no games." "Just walk it over." "Eeyup." "Say, "Best siblings ever!"" "That's another keeper!" "Granny:" "It's OK, y'all!" "I traveled down this river as a filly and I know it like the back of my hoof!" "Are you sure you know which way to go?" "Does a june bug like to hide in a tree?" "Uh..." "I don't know." "Well, I do know." "And I also know we wanna head Southeast." "Now step aside, young 'un." "Um, Granny?" "Uh huh?" "Are we supposed to go through a cave?" "Don't worry, child." "The scariest cave in Equestria was down that other way." "The scariest cave in Equestria?" "Oh, it's a fright all right." "Filled with creatures that'll eat ya soon as look at ya." "Oooh!" "Sounds scary." "Tell us more." "Granny:" "Ponies go in." "But they never come out." "And you're sure it's not that cave?" "The one we're headin' straight for?" "Now Applejack, I taught you better than to question your elder ponies." "You sure did." "All righty, then." "Now everypony just sit on back and leave the steerin' to your old Granny Smith." "♪ (scary music)" "Granny:" "See now." "Told you this was" "(screams)" "(camera shutter)" "Pinkie:" "Got it!" "(frightened shouts)" "Pinkie:" "Best scary unidentifiable creature ever." "(ferocious roars)" "Pinkie:" "Say "Terrified!"" "(screams)" "♪ (cheerful humming)" "Guess that was the scariest cave in Equestria." "Of course, I meant to take us through it." "Unexpected adventure is good for the soul!" "Best Granny wisdom ever!" "Uh-huh." "Why don't you just scooch on over there, Granny?" "Think I'll take it from here on out." "Is that how I taught you to treat your elder ponies?" "Oooh." "Oooh." "Is it?" "You taught me to trust my common sense." "And my common sense says we should get to Goldie Delicious' cabin in one piece!" "And that is exactly what I'm gonna do!" "That is mighty generous of you, but I think you've done enough for one day." "And how exactly are you gonna know which way to go?" "Hmmmmm?" "It would be easier if the map hadn't gone overboard." "Hey!" "There wouldn't have been an overboard if Big Mac hadn't overpacked the jalopy." "Eeyup." "Hey!" "Exactly." "So I think we can all agree that from here on out," "I should be in charge of everything." "(angry shouting)" "(splash)" "(quacking)" "(squawk)" "Heh heh." "I just want to say that I think you are all super-duper and I can't wait to make the page in my scrapbook about the amazing waterfall we went down." "♪" "(quacking)" "(panicked shouts)" "(screams)" "(screams)" "Pinkie:" "Wheeeee!" "(camera shutter clicks)" "(screams)" "Told ya that sugar pine sap would hold this thing together." "(snap)" "(splash)" "(groans)" "We're here!" "We're here!" "We made it to Goldie Delicious'!" "You guys!" "There's a note!" "(giggling)" "Uh, Pinkie Pie?" "Maybe you could read that one out loud?" "Oh right, sorry!" "I haven't even read it yet," "I was just looking at how pretty the paper is." "OK!" "It says that she ran off to run some errands but will be home soon." "Ah!" "That's perfect!" "Why is that perfect?" "Because it will give me enough time to get more scrapbook paper!" "See ya!" "Worst family road trip." "Ever." "Eeyup." "I can't believe she witnessed our family falling apart like this." "I can't believe I was arguing with you so much that I tore the wheel right off the raft." "It's like I wasn't myself at all." "Aw, that wasn't your fault." "My stubborn streak got a holda me somethin' fierce." "I shoulda let you take the wheel long before that." "It was my fault the map got all wet." "I was the pony.." "Now now, Big Mac, you gotta know we forgive you for packing' the jalopy so much that it collapsed." "You was just eager to please Pinkie Pie like the rest of us." "Everypony, I think we have to let Pinkie Pie know that even if she does discover that she's an Apple, she does not have to feel obliged to consider herself one." "Sure as apple sauce." "Pinkie:" "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" "You guys are the best family ever!" "How can you say that?" "We started out as one big unit and now look at us." "Yeah!" "NOW look at you!" "You're all here still in one big unit, loving each other and owning up to what went wrong!" "You never gave up, even when things got tough!" "She does make a pretty good point." "You aren't just family, you're best friends!" "And I want to be an Apple more than ever!" "And we want you to be one too!" "Yippee!" "Hee hee hee!" "Goldie:" "Now that's how you run an errand." "HELLLLLO!" "Hello, yourself." "You must be Goldie Delicious;" "so nice to meet you!" "And who exactly are you?" "We're Apples!" "Well, we think we're all Apples." "But we need your help findin' out if Pinkie Pie here is our fourth cousin twice removed." "Why didn't you say so?" "If anypony can help solve this genealogy mystery, it's me." "(grunts)" "(creaking door)" "I am sorry about this." "I wasn't exactly expecting' company." "Let me try to squeeze in here." "Get some oil ... the hinges, heh heh heh." "All right then!" "Just have to move a few things out of the way of the door." "Ooh!" "Ah!" "Get off of that, Mr. Puppy." "(yowling cat)" "Come on, sweetheart." "Come on in!" "Sorry about the mess." "(meowing)" "Whoa!" "Careful now." "Those belonged to your Great, Great, Great, Uncle Apple Tart." "Whose was this?" "That was my lunch." "A couple weeks ago." "And this here is the complete record of our family tree." "It's not here, or here or here, it certainly isn't here, is it." "Oh, here it is!" "Oh dear." ""Oh dear"?" "What is it?" "Am I not an Apple after all?" "That's just it." "I don't know!" "The page is all smudged!" "I sure am sorry, but I don't think I can help you after all." "Don't be sorry." "It's OK." "I'm just a little disappointed that I'll never know for sure if I'm a part of this family." "Well, I know for sure!" "What do you mean?" "You can't know." "I can know for sure that it doesn't matter what the book says or doesn't say." "After all you've been through with us, and all you've put up with, it's obvious you're an Apple to the core!" "Darn tootin'!" "Yes-siree!" "Eeyup!" "Say "Best family hug ever!"" "Best family hug ever!" "(shutter click)" "♪" "Thanks again for the wagon, Goldie!" "See you soon!" "Y'all sure you don't want to take any of these" "Apple family heirlooms home with ya?" "(clatter)" "(meow)" "Nnope." "♪" "♪ We're Apples forever Apples together ♪" "♪ We're family but so much more. ♪" "♪ No matter what comes We will face the weather. ♪" "♪ We're Apples to the core!" "Twilight agreed this was definitely an experience worth puttin' in the journal." "Think I'll write about how being' a good family isn't about bein' perfect as much as it is about bein' able to get through the rough patches together." "About being' able to forgive each other for mistakes." "Don't forget to mention how really good friends can also feel like your family." "Eeyup." "You know what?" "Maybe I should write it." "I'm good at makin' things sound exciting'." "I have a history of excellent story telling." "I should probably do it" " Hey!" "Where in the haystack do you think you're going with that there pen?" "(shouting)" "Look at me;" "I'm part of the Apply family too." "I'm arguing!" "Argue-argue-argue!" "Bicker, bicker!" "(arguing continues)"
