Everypony in Ponyville is celebrating the heroic return of the creatures who saved Equestria from Queen Chrysalis' evil kidnapping plot.
Everypony is happy to hear the news that the changelings, once the ponies' most terrifying enemies, have been changed by the power of friendship into something beautiful, something wonderful, and most of all, something friendly.
Maybe it's not the best time for Fiddlesticks to take Applejack aside to share her darkest secret, then. But secrets, like guilt and shame, have a way of burning inside you, demanding to come out.
Second place in a Quills and Sofas contest. Seriously, come check us out, it's fun!

Marvelous.
Hot damn Apple. That was awesome. I didn't know where the story was heading, but once Applejack started talking about the Season 6 premiere, everything clicked. The reactions from Applejack vary from vocal to having surprising depth, the stare after the song giving me AJ vibes about her possibly being innerly ashamed about being wrong about Fiddlesticks.
The song itself was magical. The memories (oh that's where the title comes from) flow through like it's crafting a song in text, which is so impressive. Outstanding work, and I'm surprised I never read this before.
Nice job!
This was really nice. Few authors make countryisms as good as you Apple... oh that actually explains it.
Anyway, this was awesome, now off to read the sequel.
Nice
