Apple Cider smiled at Morrow offering her wagon. She pictured herself too big to walk and being carried down Main Street while everypony in Appleoosa out laughing at her! She chuckled a little at that. "Thank you kindly, Morrow, but I think all I need is a little self restraint an' I'll be just fine!" She overheard Daisy Mae and Morrow taking about plants. "Well," AC chimed in, "the only thing I seem to be able ta grow is apple trees. But that suits me just fine. Of course, I know of a pony back home in Hoofington named Juniper Leaf who is one of the best gardeners in mah opinion."
Apple Cider then saw the food being rolled out on the cart. Sure it looked delicious, but to AC who was already stuffed, the sight of the food made her stomach a bit queasey. Even the smell, though also delicious, also caused her to place her head down at the bar, trying to take her mind off of it or else she might passout.

Tailwind smiled as he finished his sandwich and remaining food and drink. he left a bit on the counter for a tip and spread his wings. "Well ladies its been a lovely and eventful morning but I'm burning daylight and theres training to be done." He turned to Morrow and smiled, "see you in the morning with my milk and paper Morrow" he then turned to Apple cider "Ms. Cider, it was a pleasure meeting you and thank you deeply for the drink." With one more cock of his head he looked at Daisy mae and Starburst, "I'll be back by supper time ladies, thank you again for your hospitality." with one last bow of his head he walked steadily to the door.

Daisy Mae smiled. This may not be where she saw herself ending up as a filly, but it was as nice a place as she could hope to work at this point in her life. At least she could keep singing and meeting small town pony folk was nice. They were all so mostly polite and friendly. She could learn to like it here.
"Maybe you're mother designed some of the gorgeous bouquets I used to get while I was on the road! You never know these kinds of things!" Daisy beamed at Morrow. This pony especially seemed so nice and inviting. "Wonderful! We'll be breakfast buddies. You bring some ingredients with you and I'll cook us up something as soon as I learn how to! You can catch me up on all the news and gossip around town."

Starburst waved a hoof goodbye to the pegasus and continued with her daily chores. Cleaning the saloon.

"True enough", Morrow Rose replied to Apple Cider, returning the smile. "But if you ever need the wagon - not for yourself, I mean for transporting anything", she added with a chuckle, but clearly in all honesty, "It's just standing in front of my shop unused at afternoons."
The delivery Pegasus noticed some movements, spreading movements and turned her head the way to their source just as Tail Wind was about to leave and talked to her, again. "Certainly, I'll be there right then. You have a great training and enjoy your stay here", she replied and friendly waved good-bye with a wing as the Pegasus stallion left the saloon.
She then turned back to her conversation with Daisy Mae. Morrow could tell she would enjoy chatting much and often with the singer, as she had just something charismatic about her, how she got excited about the things she talked about and just right now that beam that was so honest from heart.
"I guess that could be", she replied, smiling at the idea how small the world could be if her mother would have indeed made those bouquets. She didn't always have good times with her mother, especially when about acting right to the Manehattian high society, but they also had a lot of good times and now far from home the good memories were far stronger.
"Actually, she does make bouquets, also flower beds, hat decorations, present baskets, sugar covered blooms - oh, borage bloom candy is good, if you never had any, you really need to try it!", the memories casted a wide smile on her muzzle.
The Pegasus clapped her front hooves together in a spontaneous little applause on Daisy's suggestion. Breakfast buddies? When did I have buddies of any kind in Manehattan, especially in the inner city... okay, there was that nice colt, what was his name again? Ki... but, that's past.
"Oh yes, that will be so awesome! I sure hope I still have some borage blooms left, I could bring those...", she pondered about that for a bit, "I'll better have a look home, but I certainly find something good and we will have a great time."
About then Apple Cider joined the merry chat and Morrow Rose listening interested to what she would add, "Apple trees grow pretty good here and feed everypony well, so that's more than just fine.
Now, Hoofington, I mean to remember I heard about it before from my parents, but I am not sure. That Juniper Leaf pony, you know about, did she mention a Rose Garden once? Sometimes the world can be just that small and ponies met before."

Apple Cider, upon hearing Morrow Rose's question, thought back to when she was a little foal spending time at Juniper Leaf's garden. She remembered how there was indeed a Rose Garden, a place that the gardener pony claimed was her 'favorite part of the garden.' AC then remembered a pony, a pegasus, who she would sometimes meet in the garden. Sometimes they would play games like tag or hide and seek. Other times they would help Juniper plant and care for her flowers. Then it his AC... the pegasus looked just like Morrow. In fact it was Morrow!
"Oh my stars," Apple Cider exclaimed loudly surprising the other ponies, "Ah remember ya, Morrow! Ah remember ya when you and I were foals, not even havin our cutie marks yet. We used to play together in the garden, an' help Juniper. Ah' knew ya looked familiar when I saw ya here, but now I know why! This is like a reunion of sorts. Oh, I'm so happy I could meet my ya!" She then gave Morrow a big hug, albeit taking her off guard.

Tailwind took off from the porch of the salloon and flew high into the air above appleloosa, he looped and spun flying in all sorts of patterns as he worked on his coordination. With a quick burst he soared high and folded his wings playing dead, his large body fell like a Rick hurtling toward the ground. At the last possible moment he sprung his large wings open and flew up just inches before hitting the ground. Tailwind felt truly alive being able to fly this way. The warm thick air provided great resistance to his wings and worked his powerful muscles. Appleloosa would provide some of the best training he could have asked for. With this newfound skill he would win his next flight contest for sure.

Starburst whistles idly while she works, listening to the conversations of other ponies while she does her cleaning. Polishing and waxing the surfaces of the tables, spritzing cleaning chemicals onto the glass to make it nice and shiny.

Morrow's eyes widened in surprise as Apple Cider burst out loud into that realization, and as it finally hit the delivery Pegasus what she just heard, she was that baffled by the sheer unbelievable yet so true happening that she was fully unprepared for the hug that followed this all.
Thus it was more like a tackle than a hug, a tackle hug by effect and Morrow, usually all stable on her four hooves or respectively with her two wings got all out of balance and off her haunches. The next she knew was her self buried under Apple Cider, her hooves wrapped around her.
Carefully, as she got back to her senses, she did her best to get herself and her old new friend back up.
"That's just ... Uncanny? Unbelievable? Yet so true!" She shook her head, but only to get fully back to her senses, reality and balance. She put a big smile back on her muzzle as memories caught up with her.
"Ms Leaf! Of course, my mum, Rose Garden, and Ms Leaf are still in contact with each other, I think... maybe? They are both professionals in gardening after all! And..."
Her eyes wandered over Apple Cider, "Abble Cidah?", she recalled how she called the other Pegasus back then, "Can it be? Whoa. How could I not remember? It sure has been years and we have not met that often, but of course! My mum was in Hoofington as she did hear about a famous gardener there, so she had to see her! And dad was all like You're not leaving me here alone with that cry foal!, or something, if I only would remember, and then I was there with my mother and there were you. Whoa!"
As an idea lightened up in her mind, she had a quick look into her purse and then turned to Starburst, "That needs to be celebrated! Apple juice is on me, everypony!"

"Wow I do remember that. Your mom went to see Juniper and left ya to play in the garden. I remember calling you Marrah instead of Morrow! This indeed calls for a celebration, a reunion of friends!"

Starburst flies behind the counter and pops the cap off of a cold apple juice for everypony in the saloon, moving to take a sip of soup after she's delivered all of the juice to the patrons of the pub.
"Everypony doing alright? Sugar cubes? Soups? Salads? Sandwiches? If you need anything just let me know."

"I'm doing more than alright, Starburst, really, today seems to be just my day!" Morrow Rose beamed, feeling glad and content, at first baffled by the surprising revelation just now, she was already back at her usual optimistic and balanced-out self.
She carefully held her bottle of apple juice between her front hooves and inched it closer to herself, waiting for Apple Cider to get her drink, to cheer to her then.
Before though she nodded at Starburst with an honest smile, "Just take yourself a juice, too. Nopony should be able to say I was not honest when saying apple juice for everypony!"
She turned back to her new old friend with a curious, if not even fascinated look on her face, "We have so much to tell each other! What brought you here? Since when are you around here? How's Ms Leaf doing?"

"Well I haven't been back to good ole Hoofington in a while, but when I was there several months ago it seemed that Juniper was doin' fine for herself. Not much seems to change in Hoofington. Same Juniper, same shop. I reckon she's still doin fine."

"Oh I'm much too full to have juice at the moment. I shall keep that in mind, however, should I become thirsty." Starburst said, smiling.
"But don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."

"I certainly will!", Morrow Rose repeated to Starburst with a honest and bright smile. She then turned back to talking with her new old friend.
The delivery Pegasus cheered to Apple Cider. The cold bottle of apple juice rested safely between her hoofs - the glass feeling nicely refreshing in the dry Appleloosan air - and carefully she tilted it so she could drink some of the delicious juice.
"I'm glad to hear that. My, it's really been a while, hasn't it been?", she then replied to AC, after listening very interested to what she had to report.
"Say, AC", she was glad to remember Apple Cider mentioned earlier that she'd be called that way now, otherwise she'd have continued with Abble, for nostalgia's worth alone, "What would you say if we would hang again? I mean, there is not so much to do on an average day in Appleloosa, but they have wild west dances and mild west dances and I can show you my house. What do you say, old friend?"
