“So. Y’er tellin’ me that you were the one who ripped out the wooden boards for the pig’s fence to make an obstacle course, which led the pigs to run free through the orchard and eat my freshly harvested premium apples?”
 
“*nods”
 
“ An’ nopony has talked ya into doin’ this, or asked ya to lie and take the fault for it?”
 
“*nods”
 
“yeah… sure.”

Whatever shit u kids are trying to sell, AJ ain’t buying it
 
I was originally going to make a sibling relationship dump but I’m lazy and in a hurry lol
 
This is a random scenario I sketched of Dandelion turning themselves in for something Arizona did. (AJ probably said that if Arizona got into any more trouble, she wouldn’t take her to the next Appleloosa rodeo)
 
The element of honesty’s child, lying for their sibling’s sake, ha. Ain’t I funny.
 
This reffers to one of my notes
 
“- When they were kids, Dandelion would take the fault for something Zo did so AJ wouldn’t ground her as much. AJ knew Dandy was just trying to be nice and help their sister, so she’d probably give him something really simple/dumb to do as punishment.”
 
Have some more notes on them!
 
Arizona completely loathed being the youngest sibling. All of her older brothers and sisters could do “grown-up” stuff, and help with the farm while she couldn’t because she was too young and a midget among her tall and strong siblings.  
She was beyond excited when she found out she was going to be a big sister, cuz now she would be the older sibling. She’d always be like “‘cause now that a’h am a BIG SISTER-”  
Well that didn’t last for long, once Dandelion was born and mommy and daddy’s and quite most of the siblings’ attention turned to little baby Dandy and she had sort of lost her “youngest sibling” privileges, Zo became quite grump and jealous of Dandelion. She wasn’t the family’s baby anymore and whenever she would do something very baby/child-like her siblings and sometimes even AJ would tease her saying “but aren’t ya a big sister now?” “Y’er not a baby anymore, y’er a grown-up big sister aren’t ya?”. She used to be “too young” for everything now she wasn’t a baby anymore.  
AJ could sense Arizona’s feelings of being left behind/replaced, and in the end she kinda baby-ed Zo (she was still a little kid after all) and would often try to include Zo and try to involve her whenever she was taking care of Dandelion. That’s one of the factors for Arizona and Dandelion being quite close.  
Zo was also excited because she was FINALLY going to be bigger than someone. Eh. Didn’t work that well.  
As they both grew up Arizona would be more and more excited about being an older sister and always said she was gonna teach Dandy everything.
 
“C’mere Dandy, listen, we, younger siblings, have to be together. You absolutely CAN’T trust older siblings”  
“But aren’t ya an older sibling…?”  
“THAT’S NOT THE POINT”
 
Dandelion and Arizona are complete opposites. Zo is an outgoing and energetic troublemaker. She’s bold and loud, while Dandelion is a chill and quiet and well behaved pony.  
Arizona probably wouldn’t believe it, but Dandelion admires her as an older sister, she’ not perfect, but ever since they were really young Zo was always by their side.
