An ancient power was sealed away, into a vessel of flesh, to live human lives over and over again, until she finally learned the value of friendship.
Fragments of the past come back to Applejack, along with her power. At first glance, everything seems fine with her. But once her friends start looking deeper, they notice that everything is not perfectly fine.

I was just reading a story about everfree before this.

"There's plenty of people who aren't ponies, and plenty of ponies who aren't people," Applejack explained. "As best I can tell, there just wasn't an Applejack, and so I filled in that spot."

I’ve actually heard that theory before about sunset.

It's the common theory about Sunset, and I adapted it to fit my own ends.

"Are you sure you have to find out?" Twilight asked. "Maybe you could just wait until she's ready to talk..."

Twilight does have a point. I feel like this might bite sunset in the flank.

"Please, we all know that all you two were going to say was how you missed each other, you're both sorry, and that you should have reunited sooner," Luna said. "Touching, really, but I'd rather this not end on a sour note thanks to the Wood Witch. Start from the beginning."

Honestly, I like this.

"Yes, it was...a distressing matter," Celestia said. "We were already dealing with innumerable threats after Starswirl's disappearance. King Sombra, Discord, and Merry Gold...and Gaea, something that had previously never left her forest...thankfully, we stopped her before anypony died."

Who’s merry gold?

Merry Gold is an OC that hasn't directly shown up in any of my fics yet, but I liked the name so I reuse it when I need a made-up Equestrian villain. It's a play off of 'marigold'. She may show up in a later fic, so I'll save the details I have for then.

"She let it slip that she thought she could supercharge the gems," Rainbow chuckled. "Awesome, right? It's a little... too fast, actually, but I'll get the hang of it before it wears off!"

That could actually come in handy.

Applejack marched to the tree she'd been leaning against, which felt...weird to Sunset, now that her attention was drawn to it. "Come on, girl," Applejack muttered, touching the tree. In a burst of gem dust, the tree was gone, and Fluttershy, covered in dirt, leaves, and with a tree branch in her hair, stood.

Love the reference.

"You don't know where they came from," Applejack said. "You don't know who defined 'harmony'. You don't even know what I know. How can you possibly trust those things?"

Interesting question

Applejack snorted. "Harmony is a traitor, Sunset. She's a rotten apple. She petrified Discord, and hurtled me to this world, settin' me in that...cycle...for a thousand years." "It really sounds like you're just choosing to be angry," Sunset replied. "Look, maybe just take a deep breath--"

Is harmony the third?

I thought it was clear enough, but yes. Harmony is the third, and youngest, sibling.

Also, with a nature spirit on hand, I just had to turn Fluttershy into a tree 🌲

Angel Bunny hopped over, beginning to chitter worriedly. She still heard the same chittering sounds her friends would hear, but with her Geode, she understood what the animals meant.

That’s interesting.

"Hey. We get it," Sunset said, stepping closer. "We've all been angry before—even Fluttershy. Anger is natural. But...it's not meant to be held onto. Accept it, let it go."

That’s basically the lesson of most stories.

"Mad? MAD? MAD DON'T CUT IT!" The canopy disappeared in a burst of gem dust, leaving Applejack free to pace. "Ya'll don't get it. When I was blasted, I was still grieving because I'd thought I'd lost Discord. Then, she makes me live as a human over and over again for a thousand years. And every time, it's the same!"

Understandable

"I'm mighty sorry about the way I acted," she said, nearing the table. "I was angry, and sad, and lashing out. I shouldn't have taken it out on you."

It was less on them and more of on the earth.

"How long are you gonna be gone?" Rainbow asked. "You'll be back in time for band practice, right?"

What about school?

This fic takes place late summer, so that wouldn't be an immediate concern, but her priority was on keeping her powers in check. School would come afterwards.
