Hey, Apple Bloom,
Rarity's reorganizing her shop and look what she found!
Old costumes from the talent show!
We thought they'd come in handy
in case we ever help a pony put on a play
or need to make a quick escape disguised as clowns.
Here ya go, Big Mac.
Whoa, that sure is a lot of apples!
Are you making another delivery
to Starlight's old village?
Eeyup.
That's an awful long way for a pony to go, isn't it?
Eeyup.
You've been goin' there a lot lately.
What is this, yer fifth trip this week?
Eeyup.
Okay, well, have fun.
So what other costumes
did you bring, Sweetie Belle?
Are you crazy?! We can't talk about costumes at a time like this!
Time like what?
Your brother is hiding something.
Did you see the way he was acting?
Yeah. He totally blushed when you brought up
how often he's been going to Starlight's old village.
Something is definitely going on.
There can be only be one reason
a pony would travel so far, so often.
- He's training for a marathon! - He probably ate a lot of broccoli
and he wants to get away from the smell!
Maybe he's a spy on a mission to thwart
an evil villain with a secret weapon:
an apple cannon!
No, that's crazy! I think it's my broccoli thing.
Why don't we just ask him?
You saw how shifty he was acting earlier.
There's no way he'll tell us what he's doing.
Plus, I really wanna go undercover.
We already have costumes!
Call me "Agent Rainbowhead".
I'll be Shimmering Spectacles,
a librarian with a mysterious past.
And ah'll be a pirate spy!
Arrrgh, a spy-rate!
Avast! Our ship be leavin' port!
Huh?
Big Mac's leavin'!
If we're gonna be spies, we gotta go!
Now!
Big Mac's a-comin'!
Quick!
Act like apples!
What? How?
Who's that pony?
Let me see!
I dunno.
Shouldn't have taken the binoculars.
I don't know anypony here.
That must be Sugar Belle.
Applejack told me about her bakery.
Obviously, she's just been orderin'
a lot of apples.
So nothing fishy's going on.
No way! We came here to be spies
and no spy I know has ever solved a case that quick!
Mmm, how many spies do you know?
That's... not important.
What's important is that we do more recon.
Follow my lead!
Whoa, she sure likes her apples.
What is she doing?
Making the biggest apple pie in Equestria?
Thanks for coming all this way, Big Mac.
It sure is nice seeing you again so soon.
Eeyup.
All I used to bake were boring old muffins,
but thanks to your apple deliveries,
I get to bake all kinds of delicious treats!
Apple pies, apple fritters, apple turnovers,
caramel apples, caramel apple cakes...
I just wish I had more room to display it all.
My shelves only hold so much.
I'm tellin' you, this pony reeeeaaally likes her apples.
Or Big Mac?!
Huh?
Just look!
Ooh! Uh...
Oh, I...
Sweetie Belle, I, I think you're right!
I think my brother has a crush!!!
Shh!
Psst, Big Mac!
Now remember,
my brother's super shy,
so he's probably gonna be embarrassed about his crush.
Just try an' make him feel comfortable.
Hey, Big Mac, it's me!
Apple Bloom!
Eeyup.
We're here, too!
I'm gonna ask you a very personal question
and I want you to answer honestly.
Do you... have a crush on...
Sugar Belle?
Eeyup.
Well, that was easy.
This is so excitin'!
My big brother has his very first crush!
First crush? What about Cheerilee?
It doesn't really count when you trick a pony
into drinking a love potion, does it?
Nnope!
My brother has a crush!
Wait!
Does Sugar Belle even know you like her?
Uh-uh.
Then you gotta tell her!
Oh... eh... ehhhh...
We're pretty sure she likes you!
I mean, she keeps ordering apples
just so she can see you again.
Eeeyou think so?
Totally! But you'll never know if you don't try.
Okay.
Go get her, Big Mac!
Hey, girl.
Heh heh.
I was writin' poetry
by the pond when I saw these flowers.
I thought I'd show them how pretty you are.
Oh, heh. Thanks, Feather Bangs.
Um, is it possible to have two crushes at once?
Because it looks like Big Mac
may not be the only pony Sugar Belle likes.
Hey, Big Mac! Where ya goin'?
Home!
You can't let that feather fella
get in the way of your one true love!
You've gotta take him down!
What can he do that you can't?
That!
Whoops! Heh heh.
These balls are like you.
I'll always catch you if you fall.
Seriously? That line worked?
She'll never pick me.
Sure she will, 'cause we're gonna help you.
No love potions!
Don't worry, Big Mac.
We learned our lesson the hard way.
Yeah. We're never gonna do that again.
Besides, I know exactly what to do!
When I was younger, I read all the fairy tales.
When you were "younger", huh?
Well, I was younger on the way here!
It was a long ride!
Anyway, as long as we do what the book says,
you're pretty much guaranteed a happy ending.
Uh, how about this one?
Rescuing a damsel-pony-in-distress.
That's perfect!
Of course, we'll have to improvise without a dragon.
Huh. Too bad Spike isn't here.
Not that he's very threatening.
So what should we do?
Wait around for Sugar Belle
to get herself into a scary situation?
Or we bring the danger to her.
All right. Scootaloo's gonna pretend
to take Sugar Belle's things,
then you swoop in and stop her.
Ready?
Nnope.
Come on! You're gonna be her hero!
In fairy tales,
the knight in shining armor always gets the girl.
Oh! Somepony, help!
Here's your sugar, Sugar.
Though it is not as sweet, a-ha-ha, as you.
Thank you, Feather!
That smooth-talkin' pony stole our rescue
and it totally would've worked!
Eeyup.
We're just gonna have to keep trying!
Big Mac, are you ready to take it up a notch?
Oh, yup!
Oh, nope.
Trust us!
There's nothing more romantic than waking your special pony
from a sleeping spell with a magical kiss! See?
They rode off into the sunset.
Any sign of Feather Bangs?
Negative! Coast is clear!
It's now or never, Big Mac!
Oh-ho-ho, girl,
you been workin' hard all day.
Allow me to treat you like the princess, ha ha, you are.
Hey!
That's our metaphorical sunset they're riding off into!
All right!
This ends now!
Feather Bangs may have good timing, and... a good mane...
uh, but let's see him compete with a song!
S-Say what now?
Of course! Why didn't we think of it before?
Every great love story hinges
on the romantic musical number.
Big Mac, you've gotta write a song for Sugar Belle!
Eeyup.
Come on, Big Mac!
Feather Bangs is soooo romantic.
When he speaks, I pretend he's talking to me.
Come on! You can do better than him!
Just like we practiced!
♫ We'll take a walk down by the river ♫
♫ Watch the sunset from the field ♫
♫ We'll plant the seeds of love together ♫
♫ And water 'em right for a really good yield ♫
♫ Sugar Belle, sweet as pie ♫
♫ You're the apple of my eye ♫
♫ A cherry blossom in a field of rye ♫
♫ And when the heifer's milked and fed ♫
♫ And the pigs are in the sty ♫
♫ Won't you be there by my side? ♫
♫ Oh, oh ♫
♫ Oh, ah-oh ♫
♫ When you appear before me ♫
♫ My heart stopped beating ♫
♫ Stars crossed the sky ♫
♫ To come see what I was seeing ♫
♫ You were the one ♫
♫ That made me believe I could fly ♫
♫ Whoa, whoa, whoa ♫
♫ Birds could not sing ♫
♫ A song that's as beautiful ♫
♫ I'd do anything ♫
♫ That's irrefutable ♫
♫ Cause you are the sun ♫
♫ Painting my heart in the sky ♫
♫ Sugar, Sugar Belle, whoa-oh ♫
♫ When will you tell me that you feel the same? ♫
♫ Like an angel on a candy cane ♫
♫ Or the sunlight shining through a drain ♫
♫ Sugar Belle, when I look in your eyes ♫
♫ I see the color blue ♫
♫ And it reminds me of the sky above ♫
♫ Uh, which is also... blue ♫
♫ Hey, hey, hey, yeah ♫
♫ Be my sugarplum ♫
♫ I will be your watermelon ♫
♫ Every time you smile ♫
♫ I can feel my heart a-swellin' ♫
♫ Blood is rushing from my head to my hooves, yeah ♫
♫ I start movin' when I'm feeling that groove, yeah ♫
♫ I've been writin' this song for you ♫
♫ Searchin' for the perfect rhyme ♫
♫ For the words I want to say ♫
♫ Somethin', somethin', somethin', somethin'... ♫
♫ Be mine ♫
♫ Every day I see you ♫
♫ I know you could be the one for me ♫
♫ Feel my heart a-beating like ♫
♫ The rain upon a bumblebee ♫
♫ Don't you see that I could, uh-oh, uh-oh ♫
♫ Whenever you are near me, I'm so... ♫
♫ uh-oh ♫
♫ Sugar Belle! ♫
♫ Roses are red and violets are blue! ♫
♫ Sugar, Sugar! ♫
♫ My love is burning hot like a cheese fondue! ♫
♫ Sugar Belle! ♫
What in Equestria has gotten into you two?!
If you think I'm the kind of pony
that likes all this nonsense,
then you clearly don't know me at all!
I wish everypony would just...
leave me alone!!
Big Mac?
Oh, Big Mac?!
Well, nopony's seen him.
Aw, I feel terrible.
I've never seen my brother so upset before.
Oh, Big Mac?!
Big Mac!
Are you okay?
Nnope.
Sorry it didn't work out with Sugar Belle.
We don't get it.
Big grand gestures always work in the fairy tales.
But Sugar Belle's not a fairy tale princess.
She's a real pony.
She's kind, and she works hard
and she's sweeter than everything in her bakery.
That's it! We shoulda been thinking about
what would mean a lot to Sugar Belle!
I know just the thing!
But I'm gonna need your help!
Really? Even after we messed it up?
Eeyup. Come on!
Hello! My name's Shimmering Spectacles
and I'm a librarian with a mysterious past.
Oh, okay.
I'm... Wait a minute, you look familiar.
I shouldn't. Um, but I'm new in town.
Mind showing me around?
Uh, sure. That's the whole town.
It's just the one street.
Oh no! Clumsy me! Here,
let me help you clean it up!
I don't think Scootaloo can hold her off much longer.
Uh, n-now hold on a minute.
Are you sure I can't buy you a new bag?
I'm good. It's no big deal.
But, uh-um, umm...
Okay, what's going on?
Ahhh, the cupcake has landed! Repeat, the cupcake has landed!
Big Mac?!
You made me a new display case?
Eeyup.
And you made it bigger!
You remembered!
Now I have twice as much room for all my desserts!
Which means... I can make even more!
I've been dying to try baking cream pies
and whoopee pies and icebox cakes and,
of course, more apple treats!
Oh, Big Mac, thank you so much.
This is the sweetest thing anypony's ever done for me.
Uh, y-yeah, yeah or-or nope or...
I like you, too.
Awwwww!
That was the most romantic thing ever!
Wait a minute! I recognize you fillies!
Have they been with you this whole time?
Ee—
I'm Big Mac's little sister
and these are my friends.
We're sorry for everything
we put you through today, Sugar Belle.
Big Mac never would've gone through with all of those crazy...
...over the top...
...downright ridiculous...
...attempts to impress you if we hadn't put him up to it.
But we learned our lesson.
Romance isn't about impressin' somepony.
It's about doin' somethin' that means somethin' special
to that pony you love... heh...
like a lot.
Uh, Apple Bloom, I think they get it.
Sugar Beeeeeeeelllllle-ee-elll-eee-eeeeelllllleeeeee...
Yeah.
Sorry, Feather. You're a little too late.
Yeah! Sugar Belle's already picked her special somepony!
But don't worry.
You've got three not-so-secret admirers right behind you!
What should I say to them?
Uh, you're askin' us for advice?
Uh-huh. Look, I-I can mane flip,
write poetry and juggle,
but actually talkin' to a pony, oh,
it scares me almost as much as loneliness.
Will you help me?
Please?
Gee, I don't know about this.
He just needs a little nudge
in the conversation department.
Besides, I don't think Big Mac's ready to leave just yet.
Let's do it!
Feather Bangs, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are...
...at your service!
