[The scene opens where we see Apple Buck walking through town. Then a crowd of ponies surround a booth where a elderly mare is working sell jars of jams. Apple Buck walked up the booth, then the mare spread some jam on the slice of bread and she give it to Apple Buck.]

Apple Buck: Thank you. You must be new. I'm Apple Buck.

Elder Mare: I'm Nana Pear.

Apple Buck: Welcome to Ponyville!

Random Mare: You mean "welcome back to Ponyville!" Nana Pear was originally from here, before she open her famous pear jam store in Vanhoover!

Apple Buck: Really? Why did you move back?

Nana Pear: Well,... I needed a change a pace.

Apple Buck: Hmm? (Takes a bite of the bread with pear jam on it.) This is delicious! (Eats the rest of the bread.) I can't believe gone through my whole life without even having this!

Nana Pear: Glad you like it.

Apple Buck: (Points to one of the jars) How much?

Nana Pear: (Gives one of the jars to Apple Buck) Nah.

Apple Buck: Wow! Thanks miss Nana Pear ma'am. (Puts the jar of Pear Jam in his saddle bag.) It was really nice meeting you!

[As Apple Buck heads for home, we see Nana Pear slowly zoom out then more ponies want to buy of her jams. Next Scene we see Applejack and Macareina making pancakes. Then Apple Buck came in through the kitchen door.]

Applejack: Glad you're back, Haystack! Just in time for breakfast for dinner.

Apple Buck: And I got the perfect topper for flapjacks at the market today! (He pulls the pear jam and shows it to Applejack.)

Applejack: (Gasps) Pear Jam! (He grabs the jam from Apple Buck and got in his face mad) What were you thinking?!

[Applejack hear hoofsteps coming from upstairs Applejack checks to see Pappy Smith was coming.]

Applejack: (panicked) Quick hid it!

[Macareina catches the jar in her mouth in a panicked with Applejack she breaks a board both she and Applejack started digging with a panicked looks on their faces, but Apple Buck just looked confused.]

[Theme Song]

[The scene open where we Applejack and Macareina was still digging the dirt.]

Apple Buck: What the big deal? It's just pear jam?

Applejack: The big deal is there's a long stand feud between the Apples and Pears!

Macareina: Eeyup!

Apple Buck: Why?

Applejack: Why?! (Thinking for a min.) Well, uh... actually I'm not really sure. Do you have any idea, Macareina?

Macareina: (scratching her head) Uh... nnope 

Apple Buck: Then we should ask Pappy?

Pappy Smith: Ask me what?

Applejack: (Pushes the dirt and buried the jar and place the board back in place but the dirt was so big the board wasn't completely in it's place.) Uh, what goes better with apple fritter flapjacks? (He show Pappy Smith things) Caramel syrup or Green lean?

Pappy Smith: Pff. (Knocks the syrup off of Applejack's hoof) Green lean! (Sniffs) Oh that smells mighty good, Applejack. (He walks on top of the board and didn't notice it.) I'll go wash up for supper. (While he walks out to the outhouse) Be right back.

[The Apples siblings sighs of relief]

Applejack: Listen, haystack. Anytime Macareina or I asked Pappy about the feud or the Pears, he gets so upset he wouldn't talk. Best not bring it up.

[Macareina nods in agreement.]

Apple Buck: Ok. But that Nana Pear was really nice to me, even though I'm an Apple. I wonder what happen?

Applejack: Me too. But we can't ask Pappy I don't if... (Got idea) We can ask Golden Delicious! If anypony knows about the feud is Apple family historian.

Apple Buck: I'm in! What do you say Macareina? Sibling trap first thing tomorrow morning?

Macareina: Eeyup! (Pulled out a stack of pancakes.)

[The next morning the Apple siblings arrived at Golden Delicious' house. Applebuck knocks on the door then listens inside and backed away from the door and his brother and sister follow the backing up. The door burst open out came a bunch of junk. And a ball of dogs rolled down and pop came out Golden Delicious.]

Golden Delicious: Now that's how you make an entrance! Or was an exit? (Chuckles) Well, anyway It's nice to see you three what do I the  owe the pleasure?

Applejack: Hi, Golden. We came to stop by to see if you knew anything about, (hushed) the feud between the Apples and Pears?

Golden Delicious: Oh, oh my? (Sat down on the dog's tail) But does Pappy Smith know you're here?

Applebuck: No sir. I ran into Nana Pear yesterday and she was really nice. Maybe the feud was a misunderstanding we could fix it?

Golden Delicious: Well I don't know about that youngin' but if is a story your after I suppose you have the right to know. (To himself) Now where did I put that book?

[He started to dig though the junk. Then he pulled out a book]

Golden Delicious: Oh here it is! "Apple family history volume 137." (turning the pages) Here "feud with bears" I mean Pears. My eyes aren't what they used be. A long time ago Sweet Apple Acres (He shows them a picture of Sweet Apple Acres.) wasn't the only farm in Ponyville. In fact there was another one just right next door. (He shows them the other half of the picture.)

[Flashback we see Young Pappy Smith and Young Nana Pear were at their stands.]

Young Pappy Smith: Come and get your apples! Nothing is sweeter then bite into a nice juicy apple on nice fall day!

Young Nana Pear: Unless you could bite into a juicy pear!

Young Pappy Smith: Pff! Please pears is only when your no good farming (Polishing the apple is was holding.) APPLES!

Young Nana Pear: Pears are nature's candy (She sold a bag of pears to somepony and she collected the bits.) apples are... sour! Like the expression your face right now. (She smirked at Pappy Smith)

[As Golden Delicious tells the story Young Pappy Smith and Young Nana Pear were arguing and other ponies just walked away.]

Golden Delicious: (Narrating) And so it went Pappy Smith and Nana Pear were always at each other. Who was best famer and who take better care of their trees. (That flashback nighttime.) Well, if Pappy Smith readied to his trees at night.

Young Pappy Smith: "Then the moon said to the tree good night".

[Pappy Smith smirked at Nana Pear, then Nana Pear ran off with a growl.]

Golden Delicious: (Narrating) Well, then Nana Pear made special blankets for her trees so they won't get cold.

[Nana Pear places blankets on top of the pear trees.]

Young Nana Pear: Good night, trees. (Kisses the tree and then hugs it.) Nana's always here for you. (laughs smirked) 

[Pappy Smith got so mad that he closes the book and storms off.]

[Flashback the next day first we the Apple family apple bucking the tree to harvest them. Pappy Smith waves at them to tell good job. Then they just glare mad at the Pears who were picking off the pear from the tree.]

Golden Delicious: (Narrating) In fact the Apples and the Pears were rivals to the core. (Both families got in each other faces and growls) The only Apple and Pear who ever got along were... Bright Apple and... Pear Jam.

[We see a little filly who was hiding behind one of the apple tree and then we saw what Bright Apple was looking at. Next Scene we see a little colt looking at the flowers by the fence.]

Bright Apple: (piss) (Then Pear Jam turn to the fence) I'm not suppose to talk to you.

Pear Jam: (Looking around and then talking in a whisper) I'm not suppose to talk to you either.

Bright Apple: My dad says if you hold a buttercup to your chin it'll make your chin glow. But it doesn't work on me. (Showing him) See?

Pear Jam: (Grabs a flower and hold it up to his chin.) Well, does it work on me?

Bright Apple: (Got puppy love in her eyes) It sure does Butterhoof.

Pear Jam: Butterhoof? I think I like it.

[They both shake hoofs]

Applejack: (Interrupting the story) Wait an apple pickin' minute! (Back to the present) Bright Apple? And Butterhoof? Those are our parents names!

Golden Delicious: Of course Butterhoof was just a nickname that your mother gave your father. Pear Jam. Now that was his given name.

Applejack: Are you saying our father was a... P-P-Pear!?

[The siblings gaps]

Macareina: So we're half Pear?!

Applejack: (Shakes his head) I can't believe it. How do we not know?

Golden Delicious: Well... (Throws the book off-screen) Nopony called your father Pear Jam. (Shoots the dogs off the chalkboard and then draws their father's cutie mark while showing it to them) And his cutie mark preserve jar of pear butter. But pear butter doesn't look too different then apple butter. So were was no clue was left there.

Applejack: Is there anything else you could us about them? 

[The siblings smiling for hope.]

Golden Delicious: Well I know they love each other very much. (He hugs most of dogs.) They had the most warmest, brightest, a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow kind of love. (Lets go of his dogs) Heck you can't be around them for too long and not feel lighter then air yourself. (Soft chuckle)

Apple Buck: Anything else?

Golden Delicious: Hmm? I need volume 138 for that. (He looked up to the book where a wolf is resting on it.) (Worried) I'm sure I can wrangle it... in a, in a couple days. (He started to climb)

Applejack: It's ok, Golden. It was really nice just to hear...

Golden Delicious: Oh, I just remember something. Your Mom and her friend Fire Age would get into all kinds of mischief trouble back when they were fillies.

Applejack: Fire Age? The firewood sales pony? I haven't seen her in a long time.

Golden Delicious: She and your mom were practically sisters back in the day. You all should talk to her.

[The siblings wave goodbye to Golden and went on their way while Golden was wave goodbye to them he lost his balance.]

[The next scene we see a black middle aged mare who just sold some logs. Then she spots the Apples.]

Fire Age: Well, well if the ain't the Apples? What can I do you for? I know you're not here for firewood, you got more trees then anypony in Ponyville.

Applejack: You're right, we're not here for that.

Fire Age: Came to asked about your mom?

Macareina: Uh, eeyup.

Fire Age: I hope you might, it's nice to talk about her. (The Apple Siblings gathered around her and then sat down, she sat down on a stomp.) (Chuckles) We had a lot laughs, in fact I remember this one time. There were some punk ponies who always gives us a lot of trouble then one day, they were telling us that a mare couldn't do the work what a stallion could do.

[Flashback we see Bright Apple in her teen years. She was racing against one of a stallion while they were plowing the fields. Teen Fire Age along with some punk stallions were cheering them on.]

Fire Age: (Narrating) So Bright Apple challenged them into a race to see who could till the fastest, and Bright Apple was leaving that punk in the dust. She would've won, too, if she didn't got... (Bright Apple saw teen Pear Jam pulling the weeds.) distracted.

[Bright Apple turn away from the race and ran through the fence and plowing through the Pears garden and crashes into a water tower. The tower falls and water went all over. Pear Jam turn to see what happened at the same time Nana Pear saw the Water Tower destroyed.]

[Nana Pear gasps]

Punk pony: Lets get out here.

[Fire Age went to get her wet friend. Bright Apple shakes off the water but her friend pulls her away from the scene.]

Nana Pear: Pear Jam! What did you do?!

Pear Jam: I-I-I don't know?

[The Camera moves to the bushes near by. Bright Apple came out from the bushes, but Fire Age just went into hiding.]

Bright Apple: He didn't do it!

[Bright Apple stood her ground and Nana Pear turn to Bright Apple.]

Nana Pear: Excuse me?

Bright Apple: The water silo. It was my fault.

[Pear Jam sighs]

Nana Pear: (growls) (To Bright Apple) Well, you owe me a new silo, missy! (To Pear Jam) You come with me. (Both she and her son walks away) No, baby of mine is going to socialize with an Apple.

[As they were walking Pear Jam waves at Bright Apple. And She waves in return. Bright Apple got puppy love in her eyes again but this time hearts were popping out of her head. Fire Age knocks on her head but nothing happens.]

[Back to the present]

Fire Age: But of course Nana Pear would've never known it was your mothers fault. (Got off the stomp and place a little logs in place.) But there was no way she'd let your father take the blame for somethin' she did.

Apple Buck: So mom was super honest. (shoulder bump to his brother.) Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, huh, Applejack?

Fire Age: (Chomps the logs) Your mom work on the apple farm all day then head over to the Pears during her breaks to fix the water silo. I haven't seen her for weeks, she didn't mind it. It give her chance to get to know your father.

Apple Buck: You knew our dad too?

Fire Age: Pear Jam was really sweet of a pear. But you if want to know more about him, you should ask Mr. Cake.

Apple Buck: Mr. Cake?

Fire Age: He and your dad were like brothers back when they were colts

Applejack: Then let's go! Thanks, Fire Age!

[The siblings ran off but Macareina came back.]

Macareina: Un, would it be okay if we stopped by again sometime to hear more stories?

Fire Age: I'd like that very much.

[Macareina smiles then catches up with her brothers. Later at Sugarcube Corners we see Mr. Cake who just finish decorating a cake. When the Apples came in.]

Mr. Cake: Well, I'll burnt on toast, all three Apple Siblings.

Applejack: Hi, Mr. Cake. We heard you and our pa, were really good friends. We were hoping that you could tell us a bit about him.

Mr. Cake: I would love to, but I never knew the right time to bring it up. But I'm glad you came. (Laughs) For starters did you all know that It was your dad who convinced me to pursue barking? 

Apple Buck: But isn't your name Mr. Cake?

Mr. Cake: Not always. Back when I was Caffeine Swirl Cake. I had no idea what I was suppose to do, then one day your dad came by to bring me (As he put things in the bowl.) some candy pear, eggs, flour, sugar, and vanilla. And he told me "Just be creative." Next thing I knew I was making Pear Upside down cake. (Points to his flank) And I got my cutie mark! As if he knew what I was suppose to do long before I did.

Applejack: (To Apple Buck) Just you like you, haystack! Or rather (noogies him) Your like him!

Mr. Cake: That was first of many cakes for me. (Making another cake)

[Flashback when Pear Jam was an young adult and Mr. Cake was younger.]

Mr. Cake: (Narrating) Your dad was with me through it all. He be my taste tester. Help me with the decorating. And help me to prepped new ingredients.

[First we see Pear Jam was tasting of mixed of an cake, next we see Pear Jam and Caffeine Swirl Cake handing each other of bag of icing but when Caffeine hands them to Pear Jam they were empty. Finally we see Caffeine and Pear Jam were cutting and peeling the Pears. Later we Pear Jam was holding on to the ladder while Caffeine was putting a pear on top of a big cake.]

Mr. Cake: (Narrating) Pear Jam did so much for me. One day I wanted to surprise him with a cake.

[Next scene we Caffeine was carrying a cake he made while he was looking for his friend. He slowly peek through the bushes, then we see where Caffeine was looking. Both Bright Apple and Pear Jam were chuckling. Pear Jam gave a bouquet of flowers to Bright Apple. While Bright Apple was holding them in her mouth, her nose was twisting then she sneeze. Now Pear Jam was covered in flowers. He blow some off and just laughs. Bright Apple laughs with him. Caffeine backs up but he step a twig that causes the couple to turn to the bushes. Caffeine came out.]

Pear Jam: (To Bright Apple) It's ok he's a friend.

Caffeine Swirl Cake: (As walks to them.) Sorry, I want to bring you this cake to say thanks. But I see you're busy. (Chuckles)

(Bright Apple giggles)

Pear Jam: (Chuckles) (To Caffeine) Promise you won't say any?

[Caffeine did a pretend zip to his mouth. Then Pappy Smith came by to pick up the dropped apples. While he doing so then he see the three ponies. But the camera zooms in on Pear Jam's cutie mark. Pappy Smith was in shock of realizing a Pear was with them.]

Pappy Smith: What in tarnation are you doin', Bright Apple?! (Walks to His daughter) We do not fraternize with Pears! (Spits)

[He grabs and drags his daughter by the tail. As she being drag away she blows Pear Jam a kiss. And Pear Jam catches it.]

Caffeine Swirl Cake: You and Bright Apple? I won't believe it if I didn't see it. Your families hate each other.

Pear Jam: I know I can't help it. We just... (In awed) Happen.

[Pear Jam got love in his eyes just with Bright Apple. Caffeine claps his hoofs to his friend, but Pear Jam didn't respond.]

Mr. Cake: (Narrating) Then Pear Jam told me the sweetest story that I ever heard.

[The Next opens at sunset where Bright Apple and Pear Jam were sit on blanket on top of a hill.]

Bright Apple: Happy one and thirty-one thousand, four hundred and fifty-six hour anniversary, honey.

Pear Jam: What that's way longer then we've be together.

Bright Apple: I know but it's anniversary when I called you Butterhoof. I got something for you.

[She gives Pear Jam a hat just like the one Applejack wears.]

Pear Jam: Thank you. (puts the hat on.)

Bright Apple: It's ok.

Pear Jam: It's ok what?

Bright Apple: It's ok if you didn't get me anything. (Trying not to look obvious)

Pear Jam: Actually I did. (Pulls out a guitar.)

Bright Apple: A guitar? For me? But I don't play. (Takes the guitar and try to hold it.) But I'll try to.

Pear Jam: (Smiles silly) It's not that, listen. (He takes the guitar back and plays it.)

[Now we see some scenes from the days after that. First we see Pear Jam in his room by a window where a bird flies in with a note. Pear Jam reads the note but to see it's a drawing of him. Then the Bird flies in Bright Apple's room when she saw the note it was the same the note that she sent but this time she was in it and Pear Jam was wearing the hat and both of them was inside of a heart. Next at the stands while their parents were arguing Bright Apple signals Pear Jam to go off somewhere, then Pear Jam nods. They both ducks down and sneaks away, later they were sharing a milkshake when they accidentally tough muzzles with each and blushed. Next we them at the stands again but this time as dance music was they were pretending to dance with each other.]

[Pear Jam Singing]

         We're far apart in every way
        But you're the best part of my day
        And sure as I breathe the air
        I know we are the perfect pair
        On a prickly path that goes on for miles
        But it's worth it just to see your smile 
        And I cannot be pulled apart
        From the hold you have on my heart
        And even if the world tells us it's wrong
        You're in my head like a catchy song.

[Back to the sunset hill.]

Bright Apple: Wow. It's just wow.

Pear Jam: You like it? Be honest.

Bright Apple: It's the best gift you can could ever given me.

[Now we see Both Bright Apple and Pear Jam were walking together as they walked the seasons changed when they got to the winter they were sharing the a scarf. When they got to spring the sunny weather turn to rain weather. They ran off. Then we see Pear Jam was using the hat that Bright Apple gave him to keep her dry but she hugged him. Later we see Nana Pear and Pear Jam walking with a load of pears. Pear Jam wants to wave to Bright Apple, but Nana Pear shakes her head "No". As they were walking Pear Jam can see that Bright Apple got a lot of work to do. Early next morning Bright Apple was surprise to see that all the apples were completely harvest. Then she spotted Pear Jam sleeping with buckets of apples around him and an apple in his mouth, Bright Apple come to comforts the sleeping Pear Jam.]

[Pear Jam Singing]

       The seasons changed and leaves may fall
       But I'll be with you through them all
       And rain or shine, you'll always be mine
       On a prickly path that goes on for miles
       You're the only one who makes it all worthwhile
       And you should not blame me, too
       If I can't help fallin' in love with you....

[Back to the sunset hill. And Pear Jam covers his mouth realizing his slip.]

Bright Apple: Hey, no fair! I was going to tell you the same thing.

Pear Jam: (Teasing) You're just mad because I beat you to it.

[Bright Apple pulls the hat down thus covering his eyes. But he lift the hat back up.]

Bright Apple: I'm telling you, I was going cover your eyes, bring you down there, and yell "surprise!". (Now they're at a rock been carved of their cutie marks on it as well a heart around it with words at the bottom) Then you would have read this. (Impersonating Pear Jam) "Made with love." (Talk normal) Then I say I love you. Too bad it didn't work out like that.

Pear Jam: (Teasing) Eeyup to bad.

[They were about to kiss when the scene rips apart to see Middle Aged Nana Pear barges into Pear Jam's room.]

Nana Pear: The Pears are moving!

Pear Jam: What?!

[Back to the present]

[The Apple Siblings gasps]

Applejack: I mean I figure the Pears move, but I didn't realize during all this with Pappy Smith and Nana Pear.

Apple Buck: It must been hard on our parents?

Mr. Cake: Well, it was.

[Flashback to Pear Jam's room.]

Pear Jam: We're moving?! To Vanhoover? But that so far.

Nana Pear: It's what's best. There's acres of untouched land and a warehouse to make our jams. We'll get to expand our business and get away from those gosh darned Apples.

[Pear Jam takes off his hat and looks at it with tears in his eyes.]

Mr. Cake: (Narrating) Pear Jam was heart broken, but knowing there's no way out of it. He did what he had to do.

[Next scene we see Bright Apple and Pear Jam were hugging sadly.]

Bright Apple: So that's it then?

Pear Jam: What do you want from me, Bright Apple? We're moving. (Sad) I love you, but I have to be with my family.

[He walked away with a sad and heart broken face.]

Mr. Cake: (Narrating) Bright Apple was devastated when she knew about that. But she it shake off and did the most sweet, and bravest thing that any mare that I ever saw did.

[Back To present.]

Apple Siblings: What? What?

Mr. Cake: We're going to need one more pony to tell that story.

[Later at townhall in The Mayor's Office. Everypony takes a seat.]

Apple Buck: Mr. Mayor, you knew our parents?

Mayor Brown: Not as well as Mr. Cake. But I did play a part in their love story. The night before the Pear family move, Bright Apple asked me to meet her at the edge of Sweet Apple Arces to hold a special surprise.

[Flashback at night.]

[Bright Apple brings Pear Jam. Pear Jam was surprised to everything was all set up for a wedding we see Fire Age, Caffeine Swirl Cake and Mayor Brown in his younger days.]

Bright Apple: I don't want ever be apart from you ever. I'm sure, I'm sure of us, so sure I want to get married by you today.

Pear Jam: I would do the same.

Young Mayor Brown: I think we should get started?

Pear Jam: Wait! Before we do this, I want to do this right. (Holding Bright Apple's hoof and get down lower.) (Clear his throat) Bright Apple, we known each for along time. But I want to be with you forever, (Sighs) will you married me?

Bright Apple: Sure I will Butterhoof.

Pear Jam: Now we can get started.

Mayor Brown: (Narrating) I had the honor of officiating your parents' secret wedding and it was perfect. Sure it wasn't a big wedding but Pear Jam didn't mind, he knew that Bright Apple don't want make a big splash. 

Apple Buck: Reminds me of somepony else I know.

Macareina: (Giggles) Eeyup.

Mayor Brown: (Narrating) (As the couple were saying their vows) So they had a special way to seal their vows.

[Bright Apple and Pear Jam planted seed from each other.]

Young Mayor Brown: And now I pronounce you...

[Pappy Smith came to interrupted the wedding.]

Pappy Smith: What's going on here? What with all these candles?

Nana Pear: Pear Jam! Where are you?! You're suppose be packing! (She spots the wedding) What are you two doing?

Bright Apple: (Take a deep breath) Pa! Nana Pear! Butterhoof and I are in love.

Pappy Smith and Nana Pear: What?!

Pear Jam: And we'll be married as soon as Mayor Brown says...

Mayor Brown: (Talk fast) Oh, and I pronounce husband and wife.

Pear Jam: (To Bright Apple) Doesn't that feel nice?

[Bright Apple and Pear Jam kisses. But Pappy Smith breaks apart the kiss.]

Pappy Smith: What are you talking... married? You two can't get married!

Nana Pear: Finally! Something we can agree on. (To Pear Jam) Pear Jam, enough of this nonsense. We're movin'! And you gotta stick with your family!

Pear Jam: But the Apples are my family now, too.

[Bright Apple breaks free and to come over to Pear Jam.]

Nana Pear: You can't be serious? Are you choosing to be an Apple (Points at Bright Apple) over being a Pear? (Then stomps her hoof)

[The couple looked each.]

Pear Jam: (To Nana Pear) Are you making me choose? (Tearing up)

Nana Pear: (With a stern face) Yes I am!

Pear Jam: (smiffs with tears) Then yea! I guess I am!

[Bright Apple comforts her new husband.]

Nana Pear: (angerly) Fine! Have it your way!

[Nana Pear storms off. Pear Jam begin to cry but Pappy Smith welcomes him with open hoofs.]

[Back to the present, Apple Buck was getting comfort from Macareina.]

Applejack: I can't believe that Nana Pear, just up and left pa like that. No worry Pappy never told us any of this.

Mr. Cake: (Sad) These things are never easy.

Mayor Brown: And it's hard to know when it is a good time.

Applejack: Well, now it's good time as any.

Apple Buck: To talk to both our grandparents.

[They leave. Next scene the sun was setting and Nana Pear was closing up for the night.]

Apple Buck: Excuse me, miss Nana Pear.

[Nana Pear turns to face them.]

Applejack: I'm Applejack and this is Macareina. But already have an idea who we are, do you?

Nana Pear: Sure do.

Apple Buck: Did you really move back for a change of pace?

Nana Pear: (sad) No.

Apple Buck: (Tearing up) Then you came back because your sorry and want to get to know us too.

Nana Pear: (Tearing up) I'm so so sorry. I-I-I was just so angry, and... well, I-I never...

Apple Buck: (Went to hug her) It's in the past Nana Pear. (His Brother and Sister joins the hug.) Oh! Can call you Nana pear Pear?

Nana Pear: (Giggles) You sure can kiddo.

[At Sweet Apple Acres we see Pappy Smith feeding the chickens. Then he spotted his grandchildren.]

Pappy Smith: Now where did you all get to? I haven't see hide of hair of ya's all day!

Applejack: We've been all over learnin' about our parents.

Pappy Smith: (Looking suspicious) Guh… Y-You have?

Applejack: and our grandmother.

[Apple Buck and Macareina move over to let Pappy Smith see Nana Pear.]

Pappy Smith: So! Your back, mm?

Nana Pear: Sure am. (mumbling) Never should've left.

[Nana Pear droop down in shame.]

Apple Buck: Finding you, and learn all about Mom and Dad. I think I found a piece of me I didn't even know was missin'.

Applejack: Hearin' their story makes me feel closer to them somehow.

Pappy Smith: (To Applejack) I'm sorry (To Nana Pear) I should've told you all about'em sooner.

Nana Pear: And I should've been here. (Tearing up) Ah, I can't believe it I let a stupid feud keep me from my family.

Applejack: Well, nothing's keepin' ya from us now. Let's not miss anything else.

Pappy Smith: (Tearing up) Applejack's right. Welcome back you prickly pear. Heh.

Nana Pear: (Giggles) Thanks, you crabapple. 

[Pappy Smith and Nana Pear shakes hoofs]

Apple Buck: Now that we're all together, there's somethin' we want to show you. Mom and Dad left us somethin' to remember them by. Come on!

[Pappy Smith and Nana Pear follows the three Apple Siblings. They move the bushes out of the way reveal the spot where Bright Apple and Pear Jam got married and in it's place and apple and pear trees were twisted together in a shape of a heart.]

Pappy Smith and Nana Pear: (sounds of awe)

Nana Pear: (Tearing up) It's beautiful.

Pappy Smith: (Tearing up) It's... impossible.

Applejack: If it's going to make it through, it's going to take both Apples and Pears.

Pappy Smith and Nana Pear: (Chuckles)

[The whole family circles the trees in a family circle.]

Great work on the story, man. :D  Just as emotional as the original.

Interesting way to have Pear Jam be part of the Apple family even though he's a pear, since his kids never knew his real name and mistaken his cutie mark as apples in a jar.  It's a lot like the husband taking his wife's surname.

I kinda imagine the wedding scene a little different.  Pear Jam doesn't cry (yet) when Nana Pear is forcing him to choose, Nana is the one to tear up first.  Pear Jam instead answers sternly, and Nana leaves crying.  Pear Jam then cries too because he realized he broke his mother's heart.
