A/N: again not much of a picture but I felt it was best to add something of the house and barn. Enjoy!

"Alright Rainbow Dash," Rainbow Blaze looked at his daughter as they were all close to the front door. "One more time. How do you lock the house?"
"Trust me dad. I know." She said. "It's under the mat and lock the door, safe and secure."
"And the other thing?"
"Yes dad. For the tenth time, remember to come home before dark, which is basically seven thirty."
He smile at his little girl, proud to see she knew all the rules for safety.
"I wish we could come." Sky Blue said. "I love to see family reunions."
"Maybe one day if Applejack has another reunion, you guys can come too."
"That's a good idea." Rainbow Blaze agreed.
"You know, you and Applejack are such good friends. It would e hard to see you two fight at anything."
Coming from her was a compliment. "Thanks."
The three of them walked out of the house and Rainbow Blaze locked the door real tight. "Alright," he put it in his pocket. "Now you have a fun time Rainbow. We should be back around seen of six thirty. You tell Applejack we said hi."
"I will. You guys have fun on y'all's date. And don't get too wasted." She joked.
They always laughed at that. While Rainbow Dash was going to the reunion of the Apples, Rainbow Blaze and Sky Blue were going on a fancy date. Seems the rainbow family had plans.
Rainbow Dash was excited to go. She always wanted to meet more of Applejack's family. They were the biggest family anyone could possibly known. She hope to mostly meet Applebloom's cousin Babs since she's always talking about her.
It was a long walk for Rainbow, but she finally made it to the barn. She jumped up and said "Alright Apple family! Rainbow Dash is in the house!"
But when she saw the barn and everything, they all looked the same, no party equipment, no food, no one around.
"Okay. Maybe I'm a little early."
But she looked down and saw someone sitting on the bench with a depressing look on her face. She ran down the hill as made it up to her and saw her not looking up. "Am I too early? I could help with the decoration and plans AJ." She said.
Applejack didn't say anything. The only thing she did was cry in her arms.
Rainbow began to panic. "I'm sorry. Did I say something?"
"No. It's not you Rainbow." She said finally looking in her eyes. "It's just... there is no reunion."
Now she didn't understand.
"What? Why not?"
"Remember I told you about my great aunt Applerose?"
She mention her a few times. Mostly Granny Smith did. "Yes."
"Last night, she died of having a heart attack. She's gone."
This was so bad. Dash didn't know what to do. She knew what it was like to lose someone with death. She wished there was something she could do.
She at down next to the crying cowgirl, wrapped her arm around her and said "I'm sorry Applejack."
"And now Buckley can't come over cause he had a family emergency."
Rainbow wasn't sure she should be upset about that.
"And now if we don't get this barn cleaned up, we'll lose it."
"You can't lose this barn. It's your home."
"Apparently not, unless we can fix everything, but it's obviously we'll never get this done with a problem like this."
Rainbow was worried. Seems that everything was going wrong for Applejack. Her great aunt died, Buckley can't be there, and now she might lose the barn.
She looked out into the fields and crops, seeing how they were almost filled with dirt and loads of a mess. The barn was a little dirty. Then that's when Rainbow had the idea.
"You might be able to have your barn still." She said smiling. Then she stood on her feet and ran to the fields grabbing a tool to slice them away. (I don't know what some tools are call. I apologize).
Applejack watched her friend trying to pushed the stuff out of the ground and was making it pretty easy. She smiled of how silly she was kinda being.
With her surprise, Granny Smith came outside seeing her grand-daughter watching her rainbow friend trying to help.
"What in tarnation is she doing?" She asked her.
"Apparently I'm guessing she's cropping the fields." Applejack answered.
Granny smiled of how silly Rainbow was being. She began to walked to the girl leaving her grand-daughter there watching still.
Rainbow did her hardest, but it wasn't easy for her. "Dang, this is hard." She panted.
"Actually honey," Granny said to her making her jump a little. "You're suppose to put it in the trash by lifting it."
Rainbow never thought of that. So she use her tool to lift up the mess. She smiled, finally getting the point.
Then a trash can appear in the arms of Applejack facing Rainbow Dash so she court put it on the dump.
Rainbow smiled of helping the Apples, even though she didn't know what to do at first.
"Thank Rainbow, but you don't have to do it. We'll figure out how to handle, the problem." Applejack said.
"I know. But I wanna help. I mean, I know what it's like to lose a family member." Rainbow Dash said.
"Oh why thank you dearly." Granny said. "You certainly have made my day a little better. You know, we do need some help with the tree picking if you feel like doing that instead."
Rainbow smiled, actually looking forward to it.
She and Applejack went into the trees and grabbed some apples off. It was easy for Applejack since she's grown to do it, but Rainbow was having a hard time with it.
Applejack decided to give her hints of what to do and Rainbow Dash soon began to understand what she's doing. She was actually having fun with it. And this whole time, she thought doing chores were boring.
She later was trying to move a bucket of apples into a wagon, but it was pretty heavy. Luckily, Big Mac was coming outside and saw she needed help. He smiled and walk to her to grab the battle and carry it to the wagon for her.
What was funny was that Applejack was carrying one barrel. She made it look so easy. Dash was shocked.
Soon, the entire Apple family began to help.
Rainbow Dash and Applebloom were watering some corn crops so they can grow pretty good, and they were also feeding the horses they have in their barn.
Winona was also helping by grabbing a rope with her teeth by dragging a pile of apples. When she reached to the top, she barked in victory.
Granny Smith and Applejack were cleaning the windows with their clean rags, making it sparkly clean. When they both turn to the other side of the barn, they saw Rainbow Dash cleaning them too, but she had dirt all in her hair and some parts of her face. That was a certain laugh for them both, even Rainbow, to be laughing at.
Big Mac and Applebloom were grabbing some bottles for their Fizzy Apple Cider they'll be making soon and placed them in boxes for safe keeping. They were proud to be brother and sister.
Applejack and Rainbow Dash carried a box together since it was so heavy. It was full of some breakables. They weren't exactly looking, and Rainbow Dash began to fall by slipping from the mud that were given for the pigs. Luckily behind her, Big Mac got a chance to grab her and keep her still standing on her feet. She and Applejack laugh at the fun they were having.
Inside, Applebloom was putting stuff that were on the ground away. Seems it was mostly half of her stuff.
Applejack and Big Mac were able to clean their table to be nice and shiny for their dinner.
Before anyone could know it, time went by so much, their barn was clean, amazing, and it was still their's to keep. The Apples, even Rainbow Dash, couldn't have been happier to get something done in time.
