On a cold, rainy day, Applebloom finds herself standing with her family on the all-too-familiar little hill behind the farm that she visits with them every year. She asks herself what shes doing here, she can hardly even remember their faces

On the way back, she trots a good bit behind the others, feeling estranged by the fact that she cant really feel sadness anymore on this particular day, for this particular event. It has become routine

Suddenly a distant voice calls out to her. She turns around to find a green earth pony standing back there, on top of the hill.

Her heart jumps in her chest. She thought she couldnt remember, but she instantly knows who it is.

A whisper eludes her lips. Mom?

She starts running, crying, thinking it shouldnt be possible, but it is and oh how she missed her, she now realizes.

Shouting MOM! she falls into the green ponys embrace and openly weeps, letting her feelings get the better of her. For a while she just stands there and sobs.

Meanwhile Applejack realizes that Applebloom isnt behind them anymore
