“Apparently I missed something lewd?”

“You can always just rewind and find out what you missed.”

“Yes, but I think I heard King Sombra was involved somehow, which kills my interest entirely.”

“If this Heart Tips is going to be hopelessly in love in a Twilight, it should be with me.”

“Oh?  And would you reciprocate?”

Aria tapped her chin. 

“He may have been referring to some temp spell that was on us making us kiss the first three people who stumbled our way. You’re a little late,” she chuckled. “But I’d still be willing to give you a smooch if you want one, chick.”

Even when she planned for this, having visitors was no easy feat for the timid Apple farmer. Discord was going to be brining her guest over at Noon and like most days, there was still so much to do. She had to take care of the pigs, water the crops, buck the apples... She wasn’t sure if she was going to be able to finish it all in time. Even with all he rstrntgh, she was just one mare.

To make matters worse, she had to make sure that there were no dark creatures prowling the edge of the farm and make her own Element scarce. There were a number of threats to her guest that she had to eliminate before she arrived and once again, the fact that she was alone today hit her pretty darn hard. If it weren’t for LJ showing up last minute, having returned from her training early that day, she wouldn’t have been able to make some time to at least get the house ready for the tea party she had planned.

With her Element safely tucked away and the tea pot on the stove, she finally started to feel like she was nearly ready. That was when the chime of her family's grandfather clock startled her. It was noon already?! She hoped that Discord regardless the world he was from was fashionably late, even whene was just dropping somepony off.

“PFFTAAHAAHAAHAAHAA!!! Hoooo that is PRICELESS!!!”

“What is priceless?”

“Twilight and the girls sent a literal child to Tartarus!  Hoohoo!  Hooo my sides!”

“Wh-  Seriously!?  When did that happen!?”

“In the future.”

“You can see the future?”

“Whoa…hungry, chick? I could order like…take out?” Aria offered. “I’m sure it’ll be more apetizing than that.”

“Only three of us came back…” she told the Twilight Double.

She left out that the necklaces that Avarice had scavenged off the real Rarity in the woods seemed to have been the source of their rescue. Hers the half heart, Applejack’s the other half, and Fluttershy’s the key that went in the middle.

“Jack and Meanieshy. They came back too. And…we were together for awhile but kept splitting up. Kept fighting. Jack stole something from me,” she ground her teeth at the memory, face going red, “So I left her. Told her to ROT!”

She spun back around and caught her breath. Her face went blank. She put her hoof over the half heart necklace with the key in it.

“I don’t know where Shy is. Jack hadn’t seen her either. She just…seemed to disappear. Jack said she was going to Canterlot to make money.”
