This story is a sequel to What I brought back from Manehattan

Apple Bloom was expecting to find out about the niece she never knew existed. What Applejack shares with her, a secret she held for so many years, threatens to shake Apple Bloom’s world.

Cast: Apple Bloom
Supporting Cast: Apple Family, Zecora (because I am a masochist), the CMC, Dinky Doo & Berry Pinch, and Cheerilee

Edited by Level Dasher (who, along with my wife, helped tremendously through the brainstorming process)
Prereaders: Manes, Stormy Skies and The Fanfic Crusader.

Celestia has had many protégés in her time, but none were ever quite as disasterous as Aurora Star. An attempt to teach her young student the value of friendship results in the disclosure of secrets best left kept and a serpentine plot to rediscover a long-forgotten magic.

Along to witness it all: the retired Admiral Sea Fair, a stallion who should have embodied the Element of Loyalty.

DISCLOSURE
This story is written with no regard to seasons four through nine. I haven't seen them for the most part, and what I have seen I don't enjoy. Keep that in mind as you read.
