This story is a sequel to Equestria Girls: Miraculous Meeting
Once every century Death of the Endless lives life as a mortal for 24 hours to better understand life and all of its beauty before dying. Applejack and her siblings are preparing for the anniversary of their parents death, she and Big Macintosh didn't really get to spend much time with them before they were taken. Their sister Apple Bloom doesn't remember them at all because she was a baby at the time. The Apple siblings had to grow up with only Granny Smith being their only parent, Applejack and her brother have had to step up in their parents' absence and take charge of their home and livelihood, but what if they came to face to face with Death, the one who took their parents away?
Well, not much I can say beyond thanks very much for getting the next story in your series started. Definitely appreciate the effort going into the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up in all the right places. I suppose the one good thing about the place I usually go on Thursday mornings being closed due to weather is that I get a chance to read this a few hours early.
Anyway, appreciated both Applejack's reflection on the anniversary of her parents' death (particularly the dialogue with Mac and acknowledging her envy that all of her friends' parents are still alive [with the possible exception of Sunset, but even then, we don't know for certain]) as well as Death's preparations for her once-a-century "mortal for a day" time. .
Well, on to the next chapter.
Well, now Applejack met Death in her mortal form and has had a brief chat with Cup Cake before reflecting on what Mac mentioned earlier about letting Bloom come with them this time. And Fluttershy has reminded her about Winnoa's appointment just as she spotted Death again.
Anyway, really good job on the characterizations and future chapter set-up.
Possible dialogue ideas for later:
Robin: Trust me, Applejack, I know what it's like to lose your parents at a young age. That's how I ended up becoming Batman's junior partner, in fact.
Applejack: Well, yeah, but you were able to get closure by bringing your parents' killer to justice. There was no bad guy in MY parents' death - just extremely bad luck.
Robin: True, but that doesn't mean I can't sympathize.
Applejack: And I suppose I SHOULD consider myself lucky that my parents weren't among all those Black Lanterns my friends and I faced alongside the Justice Society back when most of us first got these power rings. Would have probably been a lot harder to keep my head in the fight if I had to fight my own parents.
**************************************************************
Pinkie: Yeah, I can definitely understand, AJ. To this day, I still miss Granny Pie.
Applejack: Yeah, but you have TWO full sets of still living parents - your birth parents and the Cakes. In a way, you're one of the luckiest out of all of us.
*************************************************************************
Sunset: While I might have patched things up somewhat with my world's Celestia, I still don't know if my birth parents (either this world's versions or my birth world's versions) are alive or dead. I REALLY hope it's "alive" though. All the same, I can still definitely empathize with your loss, Applejack.
*****************************************************************************************
Applejack: True, you came back, but you still died for a while. Maybe you actually met Death.
Superman: I can understand the need for perspective, Applejack, but I'm afraid my own experience with Death probably isn't going to be much of a help to you. But I CAN say that Death is pretty much the ultimate fairness in a way as, while it can be unlucky (as it definitely was with your parents), it doesn't play favorites. It doesn't judge. Judgement is another department entirely.
But, anyway, definitely looking forward to more of this.

You're quite welcome, as usual. And, yeah. :-D
Hey there. Thanks greatly for getting the next chapter up. I really appreciate you going to the effort. Again, the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up are all wonderfully done. Definitely liked Fluttershy's chat with Applejack concerning Apple Bloom and how to help her deal with grief. Applejack's reflecting on how Apple Bloom's friendships with Sweetie and Scoots were, in a way, as strong as that of her friends and their Champions teammates. Also liked the nods to the Daily Bugle and the Daily Planet.
Well, on to the next chapter.
Hey there. Once again, the exchanges, characterizations and general wrap-up and epilogue set-up are great. Definitely appreciated Mac helping Bloom during the big crying period as well as Applejack's own bits of reflections, not just on her parents, but also on her family. And Applejack now knows she was meeting and talking to Death throughout the day (at least Applejack's siblings calmed her down before it got too ugly).
Now, on to the epilogue.
Excellent work on the exchanges, characterizations and future story set-up in all the right places. So, Dream allowed the siblings to get a chance to talk to their parents. That is a wonderful touch. Unfortunately, it sounds like this series' answer to Crisis on Infinite Earths is fast approaching.
Anyway, really looking forward to more stories in this series.
