"Me too," Spike added, while doing the same on Applebloom's other side. Spike felt like he was leaning against a solid rock instead of the young farm filly he's known nearly all his life. Spike couldn't believe how much Applebloom had grown, she was bigger than Sweetie Belle by a large margin, considering their age, which was nearly identical.  She was almost as big as a full grown mare, but the Apple family were always considered big ponies. Maybe not as big as other pony races such as Alicorns, nor as tall as Saddle Arabians, but big nonetheless. Spike was certain that Applebloom was going to develop the same lean, yet slender, musculature just like her older sister.
