“Gee it was sure nice of you to invite us to Harvest Home dinner,” Said Twilight.
“Glad to do it,” replied Applejack “Been meanin’ to for quat some tahm. Harvest home is supposed to be a big dinner and with just the few of us, it always feels kinda lonely.” Appjack’s voice developed an edge to it that suggested that, while they both knew WHY it was kind of lonely, it was best not to say it aloud.
“So, when to we sit down to eat” Said Rainbow dash hungrily
“Pretty soon, but everyone ain’t arrived yet. We also invited Cornpatch, since he’s all alone…..
“Cornpatch?”
“The pony what grows the corn for our Nightmare Night corn maze. Y’all didn’t think WE did that did you?” said Applejack laughing a bit “We’re orchardists, what do we know from corn? The fact we can grow those whatchamacallits fer Copper Kettle….
“Cardoons,” said Twilight
“Yeah, them things, is nothin’ short of a miracle. Naw, Cornpatch does that, he’s a dab hoof at all things corny. Grows all the colored corn for our fall decorations for us as well. But he’s on his own, so we thought to include him. And HE said he was bringing his new hired hand.”
At this point there was a knock on the front door. Granny went over and opened it and in came a tallish older Earth pony who, based on his mark of a bunch of colorful corn, they could assume was Cornpatch.
“Welcome Corn, glad you could make it”
“Glad I was invited”
“And I see you brought someone with you.”
“Yeah, like I said, my hired hand. Come on in.
Into the house came a young white coated earth pony with a white, pink, and blue mane. On his flank was a group of three bell shaped flowers also in white, blue and pink.
‘Uh, hi.” He said, timidly
"Glad you could make it “I’m Twilight Sparkle.”
“Uh, glad to meet you, I’m Bindweed. Just Bindweed.”
Rainbow Dash snorted with a suppressed laugh.
“BINDWEED, what sort of a name is Bindweed.”
“Well” he said, my parents were all set to name me Morning Glory, but then I came out a colt. So they did the best they could”
“I think Bindweed, is a fine name”. Said Rarity. “Nice and strong. I’m Rarity by the way. The RUDE one” she said harshly, “is Rainbow Dash, and over there are Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Spike.”
“Glad to meet you” they all chorused
“And over there is Apple…..Applejack, what’s wrong what’s come over you.
All the others looked Applejack stood transfixed looking at Bindweed, who in turn stood transfixed looking at her.
“Glad to do it,” replied Applejack “Been meanin’ to for quat some tahm.
