## Plot

While playing with Winona, Kitonaru and Adam at Sweet Apple Acres, Cole, Applejack, Fungus, Plundar and Korgran discover one of the mysterious balloons from "Close Encounters of the Balloon Kind". Inside, they find a small, living plant, adopt it as a pet, and name it Hawthorne the Third. Over a video call on her tablet, Applejack's friends warn her that magical creatures need special attention to care for, but the five are confident in their caring abilities.

While caring for Hawthorne, Cole and Applejack discovers water makes him shrink but apples make him grow. The more Hawthorne grows, the greater his craving for apples becomes. During another video call with their friends, she continues to brag about her pet-caring abilities, but Hawthorne escapes. Following a trail of eaten apples, Cole, Applejack, the Upply and Big McIntosh find he has grown to gigantic, monstrous size, devouring all the apples on the farm.

The five call their friends for help, and when they arrive, they all admit to not being as capable of caring for magic creatures as they thought. They remember Hawthorne's dislike of water, and they and their friends work together to fool him into eating a bunch of water balloons, with Nya and Caralisa splashing water into its mouth, causing him to shrink down to his original size. They all learn their valuable lesson, and the Ninja, the Young Ninja, the Mane Six and the Williams sisters decided to solve the mystery of the magic balloons once and for all.
