Out Of The Blue

Applejack burst in the door to my study just a little while ago, but it was not what I expected. It was not about the camping trip. It's an invitation from Braeburn to a hoe down. Applejack assured me that unlike garden parties, there's no hoeing or agriculture involved. Just fun and dancing. She insisted we haven't lived until we've gone to a hoe down.

I extended the invitation to Spike and Starlight Glimmer but they shied away on the grounds that they had some emergency studying to do. I wished them happy studying and that I'd report on what this "living" thing was like.

The rest of us are catching the train to Appleoosa. If the train's not too slow, we should get there in time. Applejack told us that there will be food. She said that there's always plenty to eat at a hoe down. Living requires food. Check. I said I'd keep notes.

I had a thought: we can plan our camping trip together on the train! I'd better trot. My friends are probably all waiting for me at the station.
