	The next morning was harvest day and the entire Apple Family had to work or else the harvest would be a disaster. 
"Hey, Big Mac!" Granny Smith Yelled from the house, "Have you seen Applejack at all this mornin? She came back last night but I haven't seen her since."
"Nope" Big Mac replied with his typical shy fashion.
"Hmm, hey Applebloom! Can you and our friends go look'n for AJ?"
"Sure Granny!" Applebloom replied with enthusiasm, "Maybe we can have another go at those 'Pony Findi'n' cutiemarks!" 
"Go for it Half Pint!" Granny Smith replied with enthusiasm but on the inside she was extremely worried about Applejack. She knew why she was upset. It would be heart wrenching to realize that your parents have been gone for so long that your little sister doesn't even remember them any more. I just hope that she will get back to normal soon. We have apples to harvest and she can't just live like this forever.

Applejack was up on that same hill, looking out into the distance. She wish she could go back, back to the time that her parents were alive, when her mom and her would sit up on that hill and look at the stars.
"Look at that clump of stars," she would say, "that is the constellation is the Ursa Major. It stays up there while more of its kind live here in Equestria. See that one right next to it? That is Ursa Minor." she loved the constellations. She said before she had met her father she wanted to go into astronomy. She had almost got a job as an astronomer but then she met her dad and went back into farming.
"How big are the Ursa Majors and Minors that come down to Equestria mommy?" she would ask.
"They are huge. If you didn't know any better you would think that an Ursa Minor was an Ursa Major!"
Applejack adored listening to her mom telling her about the stars. Now if she wanted to know anything about the stars she would have to ask Twilight or check out a book on the subject. It just wasn't the same as her mother's soothing tone at night almost lulling her to sleep. How she wished she could see her. Talk to her and hug her. She always thought her eyes sparkled like stars, the irises dark blue coloring reminded her of the night sky.
"Why did I have to get in the way of that carriage, it's all my fault they died." Applejack told herself, "Why did I have to be so stupid?! I wish I could go back in time and just stop myself from doing that." just then she remembered, Twilight's time spell that she, Pinkie, and Spike found in the Starswirl the bearded wing. She could go back in time and stop herself from crossing the road!
She got up and ran to Twilight's house knowing what she had to do.
