Applejack's POV

"Ugh." I said as I opened my eyes. My vision was a bit hazy from the fall I took, speaking of, where am I?

I looked up from the ground, and squinted my eyes as I adjusted to the suns light. 

Sun? Ah must be outside, I thought.

As I looked up, I saw the the most horrifying sight, that nearly made my heart stop. My orchard, it was burnt to the ground…

My breath hitched as I looked onward, every single tree burnt, our farm, gone. 

"N-no, w-what happened?!" I stuttered, as I got up and rushed towards the farm to see if anyone was still there. I reached the barn and saw Big Mac, Applebloom and Granny Smith standing there. "Granny, Macintosh, Applebloom, thank goodness you're alright!" I said, as I stopped in front of them. I took a note of their faces and the were scowling at me? I ignored that thought and asked, "but, what happened here?"

"You happened Applejack." Granny said with a grim look.

This morning you started to cook breakfast but left before it was finished to go to Sugarcube Corner and since Granny and Mac were in town and I was in school, the fire spread, and destroyed everything." Applebloom said while gritting her teeth. 

"T-that's not true! I have time for mah family and friends……right?" I said with misty eyes.

My knees felt weak and I dropped, sobbing into my hands. 

"Yesss, cry your heart out, everything is gone………and will be, for good." A voice in my head spoke. 

It was true, wasn't it? Everyone hated me because of my carelessness? Maybe it would be better if—What am I doing? I never gave up before so why now? The girls, would be disappointed I gave up.

With a bit of strength I stood up, and ran to my family who at some point turned around and start pet to leave. "No, ya'll are wrong! 'Ah have time for 'mah family as much as mah friends, and ah know, ah haven' been spendin' time with yah'll, but ah wanna change tha'." As she said those words, the orchard around me came back to life again, and so did the barn!!

"We know, Applejack." Granny said, and smiled as I started to fade away.

The surroundings changed and I was standing in a stone chamber. I looked around I saw Rarity.

"Rarity!" But she wasn't looking at me. I turned and saw…
