.....

Malibu sighed in content while sitting with Twilight reading a book next to her, feeling happy for just a quiet day in the library especially after their Manehattan trip.

It had been rather silent until... "Whatcha doin?"

Both of them let out screams at the sight of Pinkie Pie somehow appearing in the bookshelf near them. "Aah!"

"Aah! Yourselves! But that doesn't answer my question, sillies!" Pinkie Pie teased playfully, giggling.

Malibu took a moment to calm down before soon Twilight replied. "Just some genealogical research."

Pinkie Pie pulled herself out of the shelf. "Ohhh!" She leaned towards Spike and Malibu. "I don't know what that is!"

"Genealogy is a study of family history. Y'know, where ponies come and who they're related to." Spike said, though Malibu's ears fell since he knew that Sevarius and Thailog were technically his birth parents, he now felt happy to have a mother figure even if they aren't blood related.

The party pony grinned. "Ooh, fascinating!" She went to grab a book from the pile, but from the middle.

Malibu flinched. "Er, maybe you should take one from the..." He blinked as he saw that the pile didn't even fall over. "...top?" He shrugged to Twilight and Spike who smiled in amusement.

Pinkie Pie opened up the scroll, which was a really long one. "Uh-huh... interesting... I see... Hmmm... that makes sense... not much of a surprise there..." She had backed up until out of the library, Malibu and Twilight following her out. "WHAAATTT?!"

Opening the door, Malibu saw Pinkie looking really shocked. "This is the most amazing thing ever! Why didn't you tell me how amazing this is?! Genealogy is better than cotton candy on top of a fountain of chocolate!" She shrieked, jumping into the air then falling on her back. Malibu was confused. "What are you talking about?"

Pinkie held up the scroll, grinning. "You'll never believe who it says I'm related to! Be right back!" She zipped off. Malibu didn't know what was going on, flying after her. Her trail led to... Sweet Apple Acres?

She knocked on the door as Malibu landed, Applejack opening it. "Hey, cousin!" Pinkie Pie greeted, giving Applejack a big hug.

Just hearing that made Malibu's mind explode. Was... was Pinkie really a long lost relation to the Apples?

Applejack broke their hug apart. "Whoa, nelly, Pinkie Pie. Ya got some big explaining ta do." She guided her into the house, Malibu following. The farm mare turned to Malibu. "What happened?"

Malibu felt awkward. "Well, uh, she read a genealogy scroll and... apparently it said you and her were related somehow." He replied. Applejack blinked before smiling at the idea of being related to one of her best friends.

"That's just... amazin'!" She glanced at her cousin while Malibu sat on one of the couches to watch the moment. "This is just so excitin', I can hardly believe it!"

Applebloom, Granny Smith and Big Mac had come when hearing the commotion, Applebloom even more excited than Applejack. "I have another sister! I have another sister!"

Pinkie Pie shrugged. "Well, you actually have a fourth cousin twice removed by a fifth cousin, but that's like, exactly like a sister!" She squeeed.

Applejack chuckled. "I'd try to tone it down a little around non-family members, because I don't want to make them jealous, but..."

Malibu shook his head. "I'm not jealous, AJ. You welcomed me like part of the family, blood related or not." He said with a grin, hugging her.

Applebloom jumped on the couch. "This is the best family ever!" She screamed, a spring making her zip into the air then back down to the ground.
