Applejack smiles and returns the hug, nuzzling Pinkie Pie lovingly. Given that Pinkie was technically the youngest of their friend group, mixed of course with her childish nature, Applejack always had more or less already seen her as a little sister.
"Whatever you say sugarcube," Applejack coos. "I suppose, I would be lying if I didn't admit I think you're just darling like this, but I promise I won't let anypony give ya any grief for this. Also, I'm sure once we get to Auntie Scone's you'll have a lot of fun. She might be strict about things like traditions but she really is as sweet as cider," Applejack says, giving Pinkie one last nuzzle before scooping her up and onto her back. "Now given that you got a lot to think about," Applejack says, carrying her over to the back of the cart where Applejack pushes aside some things to clear a space. "Howabout you just ride for a while and take it easy, okay," She says, easing Pinkie onto the cart, and then covering her with the blanket she'd just been lying on for her change. "I'll be up front so if ya need anything just holler okay?" Applejack smiles and leans into peck Pinkie's cheek. She then walks to front, hitches herself up, and starts pulling the wagon forward.
(I mean she already has her big sister Maude)
