Hey, Apple Bloom!
Rarity's re-organizing her
shop and look what she found!
Old costumes from
the talent show!
We thought they'd come in handy
in case we ever help
a Pony put on a play
or need to make a quick
escape disguised as clowns!
Here you go, Big Mac.
Whoa! That sure is
a lot of apples!
Are you making another delivery
to Starlight's old village?
Yeeeup.
That's an awful long way
for a Pony to go, isn't it?
Yeeeup.
You've been going
there a lot lately.
What is this? Your
fifth trip this week?
[giggle]
Yeeeup.
OK, well, have fun!
So what other costumes did
you bring, Sweetie Belle?
Are you crazy?
We can't talk about costumes
at a time like this!
Time like what?
Your brother is
hiding something.
Did you see the
way he was acting?
Yeah, he totally blushed
when you brought up
how often he's been going
to Starlight's old village.
Something is
definitely going on.
There can only be one reason
a Pony would travel
so far, so often.
He's taking private
skiing lessons!
- He's training for a marathon!
- I've been cooking a lot of broccoli
and he wants to get
away from the smell!

Maybe he's a spy on a mission

with his secret w*apon:
an Apple Cannon!
No, that's crazy. I think
it's my broccoli thing.
Why don't we just ask him?
You saw how shifty he
was acting earlier.
There's no way he'll
tell us what he's doing.

to go undercover.

Who's that Pony?
Let me see!

I don't know anyPony here.
That must be Sugar Belle.
Applejack told me
about her bakery.
Obviously, she's just been
ordering a lot of apples.
So nothing fishy's going on.
No way! We came
here to be spies!
And no spy I know has ever
solved a case that quick.

Ooh! Uh!

Sweetie Belle, I
think you're right!
I think my brother has a crush!
Shhhh!
Psst! Big Mac!
Now remember, my
brother's super shy
so he's probably going to be
embarrassed about his crush.
Just try and make
him feel comfortable.
Hey, Big Mac! It's
me, Apple Bloom!
Yeeeup.
We're here, too!
Mm hm.
I'm going to ask you a
very personal question
and I want you to
answer honestly.
Do you... have a crush...
on... Sugar Belle?
Yeeeup.
Well, that was easy!
This is so exciting!
My big brother has
his very first crush!
First crush? What
about Cheerilee?

Nope.

Don't worry, Big Mac. We learned

Yeah, we're never
gonna do that again.
Besides, I know
exactly what to do!
When I was younger I

When you were younger, huh?
Well, I was younger

It was a long ride!
Anyway, as long as we

you're pretty much
guaranteed a happy ending!
How 'bout this one?!
Rescuing a damsel Pony in
distress. That's perfect.
Of course, we'll have to
improvise without a dragon.
Hm! Too bad Spike isn't here. Not
that he's very threatening.

Wait around for Sugar
Belle to get herself
into a scary situation?

All right, Scootaloo's

swoop in and stop her. Ready?
