Onyx watched as Pinkie was slowly planning out breakfast for the group that was currently hanging out. Twilight was over with Spike because she was getting her library sprayed for bugs. After all, someone had left out batter and drew ants and other things into the library on accident. Onyx could only smile in happiness because this was the first time Twilight was willing to stay over at his place, which was honestly really nice. He looked over at Spike and was about to ask him a question when he heard someone pounding on his front door. He slowly sighed and stood up and walked towards the door so he could answer and looked outside and saw Applebloom.
As Onyx slowly opened the door, he looked down at the small child with a raised eyebrow in question. Applebloom moved her leg back and forth in nervousness. Onyx slowly sighed because he understood she had something she wanted to ask but was extremely nervous. As he was about to speak up and ask her what she needed, he saw her mouth start moving soundlessly before she shook her head. She practically ended up screaming at Onyx. "Will you come to help me deal with my sister Onyx?"
Onyx raised an eyebrow because it sounded like Applejack was having problems with something and looked back into the house. He has shouted back into the house. "I am heading over to Apple Acres and looking at Applejack."
He was replied to with various levels of acknowledgment. Onyx looked back down at Applebloom and nodded, saying he was ready to go. Applebloom was quick to grab his hand and pull him along and decided that he would need a little bit more information. He spoke calmly while she was tugging him along. "What is going on with Applejack?"
"Applejack is going crazy planning the family reunion." Applebloom explained while they were rushing along the road before looking at him. She let out a huff at the fact Onyx was not really that worried because he was starting to look bored. She was annoyed because Onyx did not understand that Applejack was going slightly crazy over the fact that she was planning this out. Applebloom looked up at Onyx and spoke annoyed. "You need to help her understand that we do not need all this work."
Onyx finally remembered this episode because season 3 was not perfectly remembered. This is the Apple family reunion which was honestly a perfect episode because it was reminding Applejack of family ties. He spoke slowly with no worry in his tone about the way Applejack was acting. "Everything will be just fine, Applebloom."
"No, it won't, Onyx. Applejack is stressing about the fact that she is having to plan this whole thing." Applebloom exclaimed in annoyance that Onyx was really not taking this seriously. As they were walking up the path to Apple acres, Onyx could hear what sounded like construction going on in the background. He slowly sighed before looking back down at Applebloom and nodded his head, saying that he would talk to her for Applebloom. Applebloom looked up at Onyx, who was finally willing to speak to her sister about how she was acting. "Thank you, Onyx."
"You are welcome, Applebloom." Onyx could only speak, only slightly annoyed about having his morning interrupted, but Applebloom was worried about her sister. Onyx watched as Applejack ran around with the various plans that she had and a book with checkmarks showing what she had completed. Before he could do anything, he was pushed by small hands into her path, making them crash into each other. He spoke with Applejack sitting on his stomach, still looking into her book. "Well, hello Applejack, nice of you to run into me."
Applejack looked down at Onyx, slightly happy that he was here but at the same time annoyed that he was here. Applejack looked around, somewhat confused and tired instead because she still remembered that she was in the house. Onyx could tell that she was completely exhausted. He spoke up in genuine worry about the fact Applejack was looking around confused. "When was the last time you got some real sleep, Applejack?"
"I did not sleep at all last night, and yesterday I napped for a while." Applejack spoke, sounding extremely tired about the fact that she had only slept so little. She looked over her list and counted how many things she still had to do. Onyx looked over her shoulder and could not help but shake his head about the things that she was planning for a family reunion. Applejack could only sigh in sadness that she would not be able to sleep for a while still. "I have to finish this entire list, Onyx; otherwise, there is no way I am going to get it done."
Onyx could not help but look her over as if she was crazy because some of what she had planned was a little crazy. He looked around and saw neither Granny smith nor Big Mac helping her out, but Big Mac might have been busier than average, in all honesty. He spoke, trying to make her understand that this was a little crazy. "You can not do all this alone, Applejack."
Applejack could only frown at the doubting tone that Onyx was projecting at her before she just huffed at him. She slowly started gathering her things and looked back at Onyx in annoyance. Her tone was not harsh but upset about the fact that Onyx was doubting her ability to handle things. "I can so do this on my own, Onyx, just you watch, I will make the best Apple Family Reunion."
Onyx just stood there because he had no idea what he said. That made her think that she was incapable before running the sentence through his head repeatedly. He could kind of see where she got the idea that he was doubting her, but honestly, he was not. As he looked over her walking away, he could hear the crunching of rocks behind him and looked over to see who it was and saw Big Mac and Applebloom. He spoke in slight worry. "I might have just made that worse."
Big Mac and Applebloom could only nod in agreement because this will worsen before it gets better. Onyx was not really worried because he remembered that Applejack was able to plan it out on her own originally and only went and paid for what she needed. Applebloom kicked him in the shin, which caused Onyx to flinch and look down in confusion. He spoke with a slight whining in his tone of voice. "What on earth was that for Applebloom?"
Big Mac silently snickered as Applebloom hmphed before walking off with her head held high. Onyx watched her walk off and looked over at Big Mac in worry and slowly spoke because he did not want to get hit by Big Mac. "You are not going to hit me as well, are you Big Mac?"
Big Mac hummed before just walking off and leaving Onyx alone on the property as he tried to think what he just did. He quickly turned and decided that he needed advice from the girls.
---Time Skip Onyx's House---
Onyx slowly explained the situation to Twilight and Pinkie, hoping that they had some advice about what he had said and how he can make up for it. Twilight could not help but look up in thought because honestly, they have not had to deal with stubborn Applejack in a while. Pinkie could only look saddened that she was not being approached for help in planning this family reunion because this is a party by any other name. Spike was the one to speak up first." Why do you not just be there for her Onyx in case she needs help? Like you were for me when I was taking care of the various pets of ponyville."
Onyx could only hum while moving his head side to side in thought and could not help but nod that this was probably the best advice that could be given right now. When he looked at the other two, they nodded in agreement and said they would inform their friends about how Applejack was currently acting. Pinkie spoke up after they had talked about all the various information that they had. "Have you eaten yet, Onyx? because I still have your breakfast saved."
Onyx could only nod, happy that there was still food left and he would not have to eat a food bar which was good tasting but not breakfast. Pinkie was quick to begin food prep for Onyx leaving Twilight to sit there with Onyx while she was still looking up at the ceiling in thought. Twilight spoke up, slightly distracted by the way her thoughts were leaning. "So how have your wings been, Onyx, now that you have gotten used to them?"
Onyx was quick to answer and explain because this was something that he had to get answers for from the princesses but learning to fly was slightly annoying.
---Time Skip End of the Reunion---
Onyx looked at Applejack, who could only look down at the ground as she stood in front of Onyx. She was quick to speak in a soft tone of voice. "I am sorry for blowing up at you over the fact that you were worried that I had bitten more than I could chew, Onyx."
Onyx nodded his head and quickly offered his own apology over the fact that it sounded like he was doubting her ability to do this for her family. He quickly pulled her into a hug and could only smile down in happiness. He spoke softly so only the two of them could hear each other. "I love you, Applejack."
Applejack's smile could have lit up the room as she slowly wound her arms around Onyx in happiness and pulled him into a kiss of her own. She spoke just as softly as Onyx making sure that only the two of them could hear each other. "I love you two, ya big lug head."
