That night after the rodeo has drawn to an end, Applejack goes off to dinner with her friends and family. They all eat at the Appleloosa Cider Hut. As they're eating, Twilight raises the question. "How exactly did you learn that trick? Is there something you aren't telling us?" She raises her eyebrow.
"It's a family trick, it runs in the blood."
"A trick like that doesn't run in the blood," replies Twilight. "Which family member of yours was the first to pull that trick?"
"Fine, fine," replies Applejack, "the trick used to be done by my great aunt Apple Annie Oak Tree, the greatest sharpshooter in Equestria in her day."
"You're related to a sharpshooter?" says Rainbow. "That's awesome!"
"Looks like you've learned a lot about your family lately," says Twilight, "first your parents, now your great aunt, that's fascinating."
"Yeah, yeah it is," replies Applejack. "I just wish I had known my great aunt, alas, she died way before I or even Big Mac was ever born."
"So the article was right about it running in the family?" questions Rarity curiously.
"Yep," replies Applejack.
"Doll, you're a star now," says Rarity, "that's big!"
"Yeah, I guess," Applejack moves her hoof in a circular motion on the table then takes a sip of cider.
Two hours later, Applejack returns with her family and friends to Ponyville. Tomorrow, she'll tell them more about her great aunt. After all, she feels they, as her friends and family, have the right to know.
The next day, Applejack comes out and tells all of them all about her great aunt. How she was the greatest sharpshooter in all of Equestria's history. How the tri-lasso duel pistol apple shooting trick was her signature trick, absolutely everything. By the end of it, they all stare at Applejack in awe. They had no idea and are glad Applejack came out and told them. After all, this is big and not something she should've ever kept to herself. After all, months before this, it took her three months to tell them about how her parents died, however, this only took her a few days. Needless to say, her friends and family are impressed. They embrace her in a hug. Their friend is a descendant of a sharpshooting star and they can all agree, that is pretty darn cool.
