Applejack: Well look at that! Our Carrot crop is ready for harvest!

Applejack: Sheesh -- I'm a little nervous! I hope our Carrots are as good as our apples...

Applejack: Only one way to find out. Wanna help me rustle up some Rabbit snacks?

Applejack: Can't rely on my high-powered hooves for this one -- I'll have to use my teeth to pluck these veggies! Or MAYBE a certain li'l dragon will help me out...

Looks like Sweet Apple Acres is officially expanding its services. I, for one, can't wait to visit all the critters!


Fluttershy: Oh, Applejack, this looks just wonderful... If we work together, we can make sure any critter who passes through Ponyville is well taken care of!

Applejack: I'm mighty pleased to hear that from the critter expert herself. I took all my inspiration from you, pardner!

Applejack: Of course, we'll need all the hooves we can get on this here project -- an' I'm sure our friends will help us make Ponyville into a critter paradise!

Cows

Back to check on the farm, pardner? I got good news -- the rabbits an' carrots are gettin' along like whipped cream on hay pie.
Things are goin' so well, me and Granny and the gang decided we'd rustle up a li'l expansion... Y'know, make room for even more company!
And I ain't talkin' rabbits -- I'm talkin' hooves and bells and chewin' cud. That's right, Sweet Apple Acres is makin' room for cows!

O' course, if we want the best an' freshest milk this side of Ponyville, we'll need five-star accommodations and five-star cuisine for our cattle critter guests!
Ya feel me? We need a real Cattle Ranch AND a Grain Farm! Hey, maybe Sweet Apple Acres could dip its hooves into bread-makin'... Can you imagine how good it'd smell around here?
Any Cattle Ranch worth the name has gotta be well stocked with Haystacks... They're real cozy, and tasty too! And they ain't just a snack for critters... Heheh... but maybe I'll have just a little nibble.

Maybe if we move this slightly to the side, it'd fit... WHAT IN TARNATION?!
Oh! It's you, pardner! You almost scared me out of my horseshoes... I must've been lost in my own little world. But I sure am glad to see ya!
I'm working on Sweet Apple Acres' next expansion, and it's a real wake-up call. Yep: We're finally bringing chickens to the farm! Say it with me: COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!!!
Only trouble is, those Fruit Bats are back... We're about to do some heavy lifting around these parts, which could be dangerous for 'em. Let's see if we can corral 'em into someplace quieter!

Precious Cargo

Captain Hoofbeard: Arrrr ha ha harrr! Ahoy once again, brave Fluttershy -- avast and prepare to be hugged!

Fluttershy: C-Captain Hoofbeard!? From our adventure in the Gallopinghost Islands...? It IS you! Oh, it's wonderful to see you again! How have you and Jewel been?

Captain Hoofbeard: Better than ever, and thank ye for askin'! In fact, it's on behalf of my mermare filly-love that I've come to see you today...

Captain Hoofbeard: You see, I've told Jewel's mermare mateys so many tales about you and your friends... that, eventually, they asked if they could visit this "Ponyville" for themselves!

Captain Hoofbeard: So, you... er... wouldn't happen to have a fair-to-middling body of water nearby, now, would you? Mermares being famously averse to dry land, and such...

Fluttershy: Mermares? Here!? O-Of course! We'd be happy to have them! If fresh water is okay, there's always Ponyville Pond... We could even build them a guesthouse in the deep end!

Captain Hoofbeard: Why... that'd be more 'n' hospitable of you! Thank ye kindly, Fluttershy!

Fluttershy: Heehee... Don't mention it! The only thing we'd have to figure out is how to get the mermares INTO the pond. There aren't any outlets to the sea from there, so--

Fluttershy: Wait... How did YOU get here, Captain Hoofbeard? Ponyville is an awfully long way from Horseshoe Bay... and it's overland, too!

Captain Hoofbeard: Er... Yes. About that.

Fluttershy: ... Oh.

Captain Hoofbeard: "Oh" is right. That be the last time I strike a bargain with a sea witch to "take me and my ship staright to Ponyville"!

Fluttershy: Oh, yes... sea witches are bad news! Twilight says, if you absolutely HAVE to hire one to cast you a spell, you should always be extra sure to work out the details in writing, first.

Captain Hoofbeard: Wise words from a wiser pony. What REALLY gets my sea-goat is, I had a full cargo of Horseshoe Bay pineapples in my hold at the time! Likely strewn halfway across Ponyville by now...

Fluttershy: So THAT'S what the pile of broken crates on the outskirts of town is...! It's too bad we can't reach it from here, or we could rebuild it into a a wonderful little fruit stand...

Captain Hoofbeard: Aye... Wait -- "can't reach it"? What d'ye mean? The crates be right over yonder -- and my ship too!

Fluttershy: Oh... W-Well, it's just that... I don't think we're supposed to build ANYTHING that far away from the town center! I'm not sure why... (Maybe it's a zoning issue...?)

Captain Hoofbeard: Hmm... Seems to be the sort of rule that was set for no reason, and that harms more ponies than it helps -- exactly the kind of rule that's made to be broken! That be the Pirate Code!

Fluttershy: I-It is?! Wow... I didn't know pirates even HAD a code!

Captain Hoofbeard: We do when it suits us, Fluttershy... and now is one of those times! Let us sail forward, explore the farther reaches of Ponyville, and -- most importantly -- rescue my ship and cargo!

Horseshoe Bay Pineapples are worth more than their weight in gold -- but ye can't eat gold now, can ye? Help me build a stall to sell 'em with, and Ponyville will be all the sweeter for it!

On Tiberius' Trail!

Princess Luna: I'm free, now.. For good. And I should be happy but still... My pet possum Tiberius is missing -- gone, ever since I returned to my senses.

Princess Luna: I thought he might be hiding under my bed, but when I went to search for him... He was nowhere to be found. And I don't even know where to start looking...

Princess Celestia: Perhaps you could start by focusing on finding your footing in Equestria again? I'm sure Tiberius will show up on his own once he's certain you're not Nightmare Moon any longer.

Princess Luna: Yes, you're right... I'm sure there are plenty of useful tasks I can help with around the kingdom.

Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie Pie tried to welcome them to town, but it... Uh... didn't work? They just kind of... stand there, unsettlingly. And Pinkie Pie is usually REALLY good at welcoming ponies!

Twilight Sparkle: Anyway, would you mind helping me track all of them down? And maybe convince them to move somewhere else? So they don't keep staring at everypony... without blinking...

Twilight Sparkle: On the other hoof... I guess Princess Luna DID live on the the Moon for about a thousands years. So it's not exactly unprecedented...

Twilight Sparkle: A-Anyway... if there are any xenobiologist or astronomer ponies with an interest in this sort of thing... A whole new field of inquiry awaits them!

Twilight Sparkle: You know what? I don't even mind if those Plant Ponies come back to town later. Especially now that we know a little more about them!

Twilight Sparkle: And that's the wonderful thing about new discoveries: There's so much in Equestria we don't understand yet. Or that we don't even KNOW we don't know! Oooh, it's SO exciting!
