Staying home alone.
By myself! On my own!
(crash)
(falling whistle)
I can't believe I'm
really doing it!
Now, hey there, filly.
I know you're excited.
But bein' the only pony here to
take care of the day's chores
is a big responsibility.
I know it!
And it means everything
to me that ya'll think
I'm grown up enough
to handle it.
I won't let you down!
Well, if'n I'm gonna make
my train, I best to be off.
When Great-Aunt Pine Apple
says a pony's gots to arrive
by a certain time, you
better be there!
You be sure and take
care now, Apple Bloom.
Y'all take care as well.
I don't know which of your
delivery routes is tougher.
You're each headed to a
mighty hard-to-reach town.
Yup.
We know, Granny.
That's the only reason I
agreed to let Apple Bloom
stay behind alone.
It is?
Oh, I didn't mean it
like that, Sugar Cube.
It's just, I take my job as
your big sister real serious.
Which is why I spent
all night making this.
What is it?
Just a little list
of helpful reminders.
"There's some soup for
you in the fridge."
"Be sure not to heat
it up too much."
"If its hot, blow on
it to cool it off."
"And take little sips;"
"if you gulp, you
could get hiccups."
You don't have to
worry about me.
I can take of myself
and the chores.
I'm ready for this!
(sigh) I guess you are.
I'm just not so sure I am.
But you trust me and believe I'm
grown up enough to handle this,
right?
(sigh) Right.
OK, then.
Good luck, little sis.
(thud)

you soon. Bye!

Heh heh.
Sorry, Big Mac.
I was just frettin' a
bit about Apple Bloom.
You think she's gonna
be OK on her own?
Yup.
I just keep on thinking
of things I forgot
to put on her list.
Like, I didn't write down that
if she wants to get a spoon
out of the drawer, she needs
to open the drawer first.
I know I'm probably
just being silly.
Yup.
But I know I'd feel a heap
better if I could just
check on Apple Bloom
one last time.
You go on ahead and
make your delivery.
I'm just gonna take quick
peek and then I'll make mine.
Apple Bloom: OK, number 172.
"Make sure to pump the bellows
to keep the stove warm."
(whoosh whoosh whoosh)
Check!
"Make sure the Hats and Bows
closet is fully stocked."
Check!
That's everything
on Applejack's list.
And now that my chores are done,
since there's no one else here,
I get to make all the decisions!
If I want to listen
to music, I can!
If I want to read a book, I can!
If I wanna just stand here in
the kitchen talking to myself,
I can!
Gah!
Apple Bloom!
Whoa!
(crash)
(clatter)
(sigh) Applejack?
I came back to check on you.
And I am so glad I did!
I never thought about how
dangerous things are
around here.
Thanks. But I'm
really gonna be OK.
You are now.
Because I'm here,
and I'm staying!
No way am I leaving
my little baby sister
home alone all by herself!
I'm not a baby!
I can take care of myself.
And what about those pies
you're supposed to deliver?
Pies? Ha. Family's way
more important than pies.
But I'm fine.
And actually, this was
kind of your fault.
I know.
I should never have
left you alone.
But I don't need you
looking after me.
I'm perfectly capable
of staying home alone.
Really!
Just look!
"There's some soup for you
in the fridgerator."
What was that?
Watch me.
(clatter)
(splat)
Whoa!
Oh, no!
This is worse than I thought!
Well, don't worry Apple Bloom.
I'm here now and I'm not leaving
you home alone ever again.
I'm sticking right
by your side, always!
