We open with an overshot of one of the many apple orchards of Sweet Apple Acres. The camera pans to the left to reveal a lone hill that didn't have any trees as two ponies stood atop of it. One being Applejack and the other being her older brother, Big Mcintosh. He was a tall pony with a brilliant amaranth coat, a short brilliant orange mane, and moderate sap green eyes. His Cutie Mark was that of a large McIntosh apple that was cut in half.

He also had a bandage around his torso meaning that he sustained some form of injury

He also had a bandage around his torso meaning that he sustained some form of injury. Currently, he and his sister were having a conversation while looking over their family's famous orchards.

Applejack: Boy howdy! I got my work cut out for me

Applejack: Boy howdy! I got my work cut out for me. That there is the biggest bumper crop o' apples I ever laid eyes on.

Big McIntosh: Eeyup. Too big for you to handle on your own.

Applejack: Come on, big brother! You need to rest up and get yourself better. I haven't met an apple orchard yet that I can't handle.

She poked his injured side, making him wince in pain before he glared daggers at her to which she guiltily frowned at him.

Applejack: Oops, sorry. I'll take a bite out of this job by day's end.

Big McIntosh: Biting off more than you can chew is just what I'm afraid of.

The cowpony responded by giving him a sideways glare.

Applejack: Are you sayin' my mouth is makin' promises my legs can't keep?

Big McIntosh: Eeyup.

Applejack: Why of all the... This is your sister Applejack, remember? The loyalest of friends and the most dependable of ponies?

She retorted, getting into the taller stallion's face while frowning.

Big McIntosh: But still only one pony, and one pony plus hundreds o' apple trees just doesn't add up to...

Applejack: Don't you use your fancy mathematics to muddy the issue! I said I could handle this harvest and I'm gonna prove it to you. I'm gonna get every last apple out of those trees this applebuck season all by myself.
