Applejack (G4)/Synopsis

The Synopsis of Applejack from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
==History==
===Past===
Applejack was the last one in her class to get her cutie mark, a trait that seems to run in the family. Due to this, she decided to leave the farm to live with her upper-class relations, the Oranges, in the big city called Manehattan. Once there, however, she finds it hard to fit in and becomes terribly homesick. The rainbow left in the wake of Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom leads her to return home to the farm. Once there she realizes that she truly belonged there, and finally gains her cutie mark. 
====Flashback in Where the Apple Lies====
Applejack and Big Mac started out the day arguing on who can run the farm better which Granny Smith stops by sending them to buy some blight spray. On their way, they meet up with Filty Rich, a business owner who acts as a distributor. Interested in possibly spreading her family’s cider, the orange pony takes a deal with him despite her brother’s disagreement. The business owner received 3 barrels of cider and is asked to come back if they sell well.
Returning with the blight spray, Applejack explains the deal she made which is when Granny Smith explains why she had refused previous offers. Realizing their mistake, the two siblings meet up with Filthy Rich to explain the issue. He was particularly upset of this development and threatened to cut all deals with the Apple Family, forcing the orange pony to lie again, this time about their guardian being sick.
Later, Filthy Rich comes over to say his condolences, forcing Applejack to distract Granny Smith until they leave. To make matters worse, the orange pony blurts out that her guardian is sick with apple blight and is in the hospital. The siblings quickly bring Granny Smith in to keep up the ruse while distracting the business pony.
With Big Mac disguised as Granny Smith, Applejack allows Filthy Rich to see her though the gurney with him was wheeled away. Somehow, the old pony was mistaken for a surgeon and attempts to perform an amputation on the red pony. Luckily, the orange pony arrives to finally explain what had been happening. Hearing this, Granny Smith quickly threatens Filthy Rich into keeping his deal with the Apple Family, easily solving the issue Applejack had been lying to avoid. 
===My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic===
====Season 1====
=====Friendship is Magic=====
Applejack's first appearance was during Twilight Sparkle and Spike's visit to Sweet Apple Acres. There they got to witness the amazing feat of applebucking and Southern accent from the orange pony herself. Learning that the two are here to check up on the catering service, she called her family in, introducing each of them while they brought in samples for the foods that'll be served. 
Said samples eventually began to pile up due to the sheer size of the apple family still alive in the present. Eventually that compilation came to an end though due to her tight schedule, Twilight needed to leave early, much to the dismay of the whole family. Out of guilt, the purple unicorn decided to stay for brunch with them.
At the celebration, Applejack was present to witness the return of Nightmare Moon where she had to stop Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie from doing anything stupid in the presence of this dangerous villain.
Applejack along with the rest of the Mane Six arrived at Golden Oak library to learn about the method to defeat this new threat. It came in the form of magical items sealed away in a faraway place known as the "Elements of Harmony". With that, she joined the rest of the group in their journey to retrieve these items, unaware that Nightmare Moon had been listening in on their conversation.
Among the threats the group had to brave through, Applejack got her time to shine during a landslide which took down half of the group with Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash flying off to save them. The orange pony managed to catch Twilight though due to slipping ground, she had to let go. The yellow pegasus and blue pegasus are ready to catch the purple unicorn anyway though she didn't know. After some convincing, Applejack managed to get Twilight to let go and get caught.
After surviving the many threats before them, the Mane Six eventually arrived at where the elements were contained, only to immediately be attacked by Nightmare Moon, resulting in the destruction of the elements. Luckily, Twilight soon realized the true nature of the elements and how each of her friends represents a piece of them, allowing for the recovery of the elements which were turned into necklaces.
This was followed by the rest of the Mane Six floating over the evil alicorn and blasting her with a rainbow colored beam, reverting her to her less evil form, Princess Luna. After hearing Princess Celestia's explanation on her relations to her sister, the rest of the group went back to celebrate Luna's return.
=====The Ticket Master=====
While Twilight was helping out in Sweet Apple Acres, Spike arrives with two tickets to the gala. Seeing this, Applejack explained why she wanted to go to the gala which involved showing her apple products to a broader audience and possibly raking in a profit. Just then, Rainbow Dash crashed near them after somehow overhearing everything that just ensued.
After Rainbow Dash explained her reasoning, Applejack realized that she has competition for that other gala ticket. She decided to confront the blue pegasus which is when Twilight and Spike decided to slip away. In an attempt to bribe the purple unicorn, the orange pony gave some desserts though she declines. 
At the end of the day, Twilight eventually managed to get a few extra tickets, allowing for the rest of the Mane Six to be invited to the gala. This will be important later at the final episode of the season. 
=====Applebuck Season=====
With apples ready for harvest and her brother Big Mac injured, Applejack needs to pick up the slack. Unfortunately she could begin, she had to stop a stampede of cows with her dog Winona. This earns her the respect of Ponyville’s denizens who hosted an appreciation day for her. At this point, Twilight notices the orange pony’s exhaustion and decided to come over and check.
After explaining how little help she currently has, Applejack refuses anyone else’s help which leads to her messing up a variety of activities due to exhaustion. Eventually, she breaks down which is when her friends offer her help which she accepts.
=====Boast Busters=====
Among the Ponyville residents who are unsure of Trixie Lulamoon's boasting, Applejack and Rarity were particularly critical of it. This is where the blue unicorn revealed that she managed to "fight" off Ursa Major and "win". During the challenge, the orange pony attempted a rope trick which the blue unicorn was able to manipulate it into tying Applejack up.
Later down the line, Trixie's statement is revealed to be a lie and after failing to fight off the monster, she is humiliated and banished from Ponyville.
=====Dragonshy=====
Fluttershy rushed to town after seeing a cloud of smoke which she believed to be a fire. Unfortunately due to her soft voice and meek attitude, she failed to get anyone's attention, until Twilight intervenes. The Mane Six were later warned that the smoke is caused by a dragon which they need to deal with. After some preparation, the team went off to find the dragon which the yellow pegasus is particularly afraid of, paralyzing her temporarily and causing her to be extremely jumpy throughout the journey even with Pinkie Pie's encouraging songs.
Thankfully, the Mane Six eventually arrived at the cave the dragon was at though Fluttershy had to stay behind out of fear. With the dragon in sight, the ponies try and figure out a way to get it to leave though oddly enough Applejack, never tried anything. Rainbow Dash's attempt however enraged the dragon and in its rampage, it broke the yellow pegasus' hiding spot.
Seeing her friends in danger, Fluttershy manages to steel her will and approach the dragon. She was able to frighten the dragon with her tone, getting him to listen. With some stern talking and reasoning, she convinced the dragon to leave, earning her the praise of her friends. Despite this act of courage, she has not completely learned her lesson and ended up freezing up due to a leaf landing on her back.
=====Look Before you Sleep=====
During a planned downpour, trees need to be pruned to prepare for it. Unfortunately, Rarity’s idea of doing so involved cutting them into shapes which Applejack found to be annoying due to her preference for efficiency. The two got into an argument which lasts until the rain starts.
Luckily, Twilight decided to invite them in to take cover in the library where they can stay for the night. As Spike was away, the purple unicorn decided to use this opportunity to experience her first slumber party with a guidebook for reference. Not wanting to ruin the fun, her friends agreed to stop their arguments as they go through various activities in the guidebook.
Twilight finally notices the issue after an all-out pillow war between Applejack and Rarity, prompting her to send the two to sleep. Their continuous bickering finally frustrated the purple unicorn and as she vented her frustration, a tree ends up crashing through the building. In this situation, the orange pony attempted to push the tree back out with little success.
In this stressful situation, Applejack and Rarity finally make amends and the two manage to get the tree out. In the end, they along with Twilight got to spend the rest of the slumber party without any incidents until the storm finally stopped.
=====Bridle Gossip=====
Applejack was seen hiding in Sugarcube corner along with the rest of the Mane Six minus Twilight and Spike who had just arrived. The two were briefed in on Zecora, a mysterious figure who occasionally arrives at Ponyville to run some errands though the rest of the townsfolk believes her to be an evil enchantress. Despite her imposing form, the purple unicorn figured out that she was a merely a zebra and that the rest of the town is racist.
While observing the zebra, Apple Bloom, Applejack's sister, leaves to follow her, forcing the rest of the Mane Six to follow her to her home. Upon retrieving the yellow filly, Zecora came back to her home, scaring the rest of the ponies as the zebra tries to warn them on the Poison Joke plants outside her house. Said plants had randomized biological manipulating properties and in Applejack’s case, she has shrunk in size considerably which prompted Spike to call her Apple Teeny.
While the Mane Six are figuring out what to do with these issues, Apple Bloom disappears again to confront Zecora and after some issues, the rest of the team arrives to find her stirring something in a pot while mentioning the yellow filly's name. After some confrontation, it is revealed that Zecora was not evil at all and that Apple Bloom is still alive and coming back.
Along with the rest of the Mane Six, Applejack is cured of her affliction.
=====Swarm of the Century=====
After discovering a parasprite, Fluttershy decides to bring it to Ponyville to show to others, unaware that it had the ability to consume large amounts of matter and perform mitosis upon eating enough. While Twilight did not recognize it, Pinkie Pie did, prompting her to leave and get a few instruments. The purple unicorn later gives these horrifying insects to her friends though Applejack wasn’t present that day.
The next day after everyone realized how horrifying parasprites truly can be, they end up flying off and eating all of the apples Applejack was bringing over. Shenanigans ensue, ending in the swarm flying to Ponyville and wrecking havoc.
Luckily this is all dealt with at the end of the episode.
=====Winter Wrap Up=====
Applejack was tasked with snow clearing alongside many others with Twilight offering to help. However, the purple unicorn had recently taken advice to try and use magic despite it being banned for the day, resulting in a disaster. Angered by this display, the orange pony proceeded to scold her friend for this who runs away out of shame as a result. Applejack appears later at the meeting, having issues with her job as with everyone else. This was thankfully solved by Twilight's organization skills, allowing for a smooth and successful Winter Wrap Up.
=====Fall Weather Friends=====
In a particularly competitive mood, Applejack and Rainbow Dash engage in multiple challenges with their friends helping to keep score. After multiple challenges and ties, the blue pegasus wins in thug-of-war though she uses her wings for this. The orange pony invites her to "Running of the Leaves" race and challenges Rainbow Dash to not use her wings which she accepts.
They later move over to the starting line before noticing Twilight there as well and decides to make fun of her, a decision they will later regret. The two proceed to use a variety of cheap tricks to bamboozle each other until they finally drag each other down to the point that they both end up in last place and worse still, the purple unicorn wins 5th place.
In the end they realize that they had taken their competitive streak too far and apologize to each other.
=====Suited For Success=====
Applejack joins the rest of the Mane Six in their request for gala dresses from Rarity. As with everyone else, she was less than impressed by the white unicorn's efforts, pointing out issues when pressured. She also appears later in both fashion shows Rarity set up.
===== A Dog and Pony Show=====
Applejack along with the rest of the Mane Six are alerted to Rarity's kidnapping, participating in their efforts to rescue her though in the end, she took care of herself just fine.
=====Feeling Pinkie Keen=====
Noticing Twilight in a ditch, Applejack decided to ask her about it. Realizing that she doesn’t believe in “Pinkie Sense”, the orange pony warns her about it though it still doesn’t deter her friend. Later Pinkie Pie has a prediction that’ll happen at the place Fluttershy is bringing frogs to, prompting Applejack, Spike, and Twilight to rush there.
Upon checking up on her, the group witnessed a hydra which they end up having to flee from. Thankfully they later survived this encounter.
=====The Cutie Mark Chronicles=====
While hunting down some apple-stealing rabbits, Applejack finds herself approached by the Cutie Mark Crusaders Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo who were here to ask on how she got her cutie mark. This lead to her explaining her backstory. Afterwards, she sends the fillies to meet up with Fluttershy and hear her backstory.
=====Party of One=====
Applejack was amongst the Mane Six members invited by Pinkie Pie and her pet alligator, Gummy to yet another party which she goes to this time. Later she was invited to another party though she reasons that she’s busy with apple harvesting. She is seen later closing the barn door on the pink pony and keeping her out, claiming there’s a construction going on inside despite Rainbow Dash having taken cover there in the first place.
Later she joins the rest of the Mane Six in their celebration for Pinkie Pie's surprise birthday party which thankfully snapped her out of her insanity.
=====The Best Night Ever=====
Remember "Ticket Master"? Yes, this is where those tickets come into play. Applejack joins the rest of the Mane Six while waiting for someone. Fluttershy later arrives with a group of mouse in-hand which Twilight turns into, uh, horses, to pull a carriage, despite them all being horses. Anyway ignoring that strange occurrence, the ponies arrive to the castle safely, ready to enjoy the Grand Galloping Gala.
With the party going on, Applejack set up shop and began selling her apple products, managing to sell a single apple pie… This does not get any better and nobody ends up buying her products though she doesn’t give up. After trying a variety of methods to try and get someone to buy her products.
Eventually, Rarity and Prince Blueblood arrive to order some apple fritters which leads to them arguing on who has to pay. Seeing this, Applejack decided to just give the apple fritters for free. Unfortunately, the prince proceeded to spit it out after taking a bite, claiming it to be bad which further angers the white unicorn.
Later in order to get better chances at selling her products, Applejack moves her shop which allows her to witness the chaos her friends caused. She alongside the rest of the Mane Six flee the scene, meeting up with Spike who had been waiting outside. Eventually Princess Celestia arrived to meet all of them, explaining that the gala is usually quite bad and she had hoped that the Mane Six would liven things up which failed.
====Season 2====
=====The Return of Harmony=====
Among the chaos Discord had brewed up, Applejack got to see all her corn popping into popcorn. Eventually the Mane Six were called in to meet up with Princess Celestia in order to brief them on the situation. The Lord of Chaos has awakened from his slumber and is planning to plunge Equestria into chaos and only the Mane Six can save it.
Discord was currently hanging out at a maze he had conjured, the Elements of Harmony hidden somewhere there and they need to traverse it without magic or flying. Unbeknownst to them, the Lord of Chaos had planned a clever trap to reverse the ponies' personalities in order to make it difficult for them to utilize their elements via social influencing and if it fails, hypnosis.
He later lures Applejack with some moving apples which arrive at an orchard where they proceed to show a “vision of the future”. Said future is a bleak one where the Mane Six do not talk to each other anymore due to the orange pony telling the truth, according to Discord that is. This provided enough of an opportunity to hypnotize Applejack into a compulsive liar.
Under this state, she blatantly lies to Twilight about speaking to anyone else which the purple unicorn buys as Applejack would never lie. Eventually Twilight realizes something is wrong though it is too late as Discord had tricked Rainbow Dash into leaving with her wings, meaning that the Lord of Chaos had won.
Applejack along with the rest of the Mane Six had to deal with the aftermath of Discord's trick, annoying Twilight's every effort to solve the problem until she finally gave up and then regained her resolve. The orange pony later was struck by the purple unicorn's memory spell, allowing her to snap out of the hypnosis and realize the lies that she has been told that led to her corruption.
The restored Mane Six attempt to catch a delusional Rainbow Dash who at this point, was napping. Unfortunately, she manages to flee, forcing her friends to give chase. Applejack attempts to lasso her though her rope ends up entangling Pinkie Pie and Rarity, revealing that the former had failed to secure the rope. Thankfully upon seeing the chaos Discord has brought upon Ponyville, Fluttershy gains an increased resolve, allowing her to catch up with the blue pegasus and subdue her which in turn allowed Twilight to restore her.
The Mane Six return to confront Discord who at this point was basking in his victory. Somehow seeing the ponies with their color and no longer in discordance was not enough to make him realize that his plan had failed and he still decided to let them get the first hit. This was a mistake and he was hit by the power of the Elements of Harmony, once again petrifying him.
=====Lesson Zero=====
Applejack and Rainbow Dash were found during Twilight's attempts at finding a friendship problem, the former seemingly destroying a barn. However as it turns out, the blue pegasus was merely helping with the demolition process which the orange pony requested. She is also there at the picnic along with the rest of the Mane Six to tell the purple unicorn that she'll be fine. Later at the ending, they arrive to speak in-defense for Twilight, having failed to realize the depth of their friend's paranoia. Luckily Princess Celestia understood and reminded them that the friendship problem letters do not need to be sent daily.
=====The Cutie Pox=====
Not suspecting anything malicious from her sister having 2 different cutie marks, Applejack brings Apple Bloom to her bed after a long day at school. Unfortunately due to some tapping and screaming, the orange pony finds herself unable to sleep and quickly goes up to check, finding her sister now having a third cutie mark on tap-dancing and being unable to stop herself from performing her listed talents.
Meeting up with Twilight and Spike, Applejack eventually learns of what’s happening to Apple Bloom, an affliction known as the cutie pox, a disease that causes random cutie marks to appear all over a pony’s skin. Due to it being a disease, Ponyville’s denizens are horrified and quickly ran off to hide, just as Zecora arrived.
Zecora thankfully knows a cure to this disease, that being a plant called the “Seed of Truth” which only blooms when pure and truthful words are spoken to it. Apple Bloom ends up confessing for what she has done to get into this situation, allowing the plant to bloom. In the end, she managed to cure herself and gets accepted back into society. 
=====May the Best Pet Win=====
Applejack was present along with the rest of the Mane Six and their pets when Rainbow Dash arrived, having awakened from the strange dream she had experienced. The ponies explained that they had arrived to take their pets to play together once a week which strengthened the blue pegasus' resolve to get a pet, much to Fluttershy's delight.
After Rainbow Dash is briefed on her options figured that she'd need some way to measure what pet she'd want. She decided to start up a competition with various categories with the last one involving a race at the Ghastly Gorge. Applejack along with the rest of the Mane Six waited for the blue pegasus to finish, only to realize that she had been injured by a rock slide and was being carried by a tortoise which she later keeps as her pet.
=====The Mysterious Mare Do Well=====
Applejack was involved in the Mare Do Well scheme the Mane Six had concocted, using her strength to stop the runaway bus. They had been trying to teach Rainbow Dash some humility which was successful as she learns her lesson.
=====Sweet and Elite=====
Applejack was present along with the rest of the Mane Six to surprise Rarity and check on her during her stay at Canterlot. They had planned to move Twilight's birthday party to the city so that the white unicorn can still attend, unaware of the lies she had said. Later during the party, the ponies realized that Rarity had been attending another party which prompted them to come over.
Applejack in particular noticed some weeds growing about and decided to pull them out, getting mud everywhere. Still in the end despite everything at stake, Rarity still appreciates her friends which allows to learn a lesson from this experience.
=====Secret of My Excess=====
Applejack was present along with the rest of the Mane Six during Spike's birthday party though what she gave was unknown. During Spike's attack, the orange pony finds her entire orchard robbed of its fruits and even leaves. She and Twilight attempt to apprehend the dragon, only to end up tied to a tree. 
=====Hearth's Warming Eve=====

However due to their business, the failed to notice Apple Bloom’s issues with the oncoming titular Family Appreciation Day. Thankfully, it was all resolved in the end.
=====The Last Roundup=====
With the rodeo championship underway, Applejack has been training to keep her streak up and later leaves town to go to the contest. However on the day she was supposed to come back, she instead sends a letter to her friends, explaining that she won't be coming back. Instead of letting her be however, they instead arrived at the town the orange pony was supposed to perform at, eventually finding her at a Cherry farm, where she claims that she's fine and needed a change of scenery.
Unfortunately, her friends were relentless and in an attempt to get answers, they got themselves hired by the farm owner, Cherry Jubilee. This irritated Applejack greatly, causing a disaster at the workplace. The next day, she arrives to do some cherry-picking work which is when Pinkie Pie arrives and wears her down by singing a sad song with a deceptively happy tune saying obnoxious cherry puns. The Mane Six later arrive and manage to convince the orange pony to pinkie promise to tell the truth next breakfast.
However next morning, Applejack disappeared to board a coach which is when her friends arrive and give chase on a wagon. After some shenanigans which resulted in Pinkie Pie and Rarity getting thrown off, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight were able to apprehend the orange pony.
They discover what it had all been about, that Applejack had failed to win any prizes which forced her to get that job in order to send the money to compensate. Her friends quickly cheered her up as despite her failures, they would still rather have her still by their side. Which is ironic because they forgot about Pinkie Pie and Rarity who had been knocked off and are now trying to get back.
=====The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000=====
It was the beginning of cider season when the Apple Family would squeeze their own specialized cider and just like every year, a long line forms where they’re selling the cider. Unfortunately, they ran out of cider before they could serve the whole line which Applejack reasons that due to the care needed to produce the cider, they cannot rush production.
The ponies are still enraged despite the reasoning which is when scammers Flim and Flam popped out to explain the details of the machine they had brought in, an automated cider squeezer as the name of the episode implies. After some competition between the Apple Family and the scammers, the former decided to employ the help of the Mane Six.
With their combined efforts, they were able to boost productions 5x more than previous which had the added bonus of scaring Flim and Flam into turning off their quality control functions. In the end, the scammer twins lost their sway on the crowd due to poor quality cider, allowing the Apple Family to continue selling their cider which at this point, was enough for the entirety of Ponyville.
=====Read it and Weep=====
Applejack arrived at the hospital alongside Fluttershy upon hearing about Rainbow Dash's crash, joining Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight who witnessed it. They got to hear about the diagnosis which is that the blue pegasus would probably be alright though she'll need to stay at the hospital for a while which is when the purple unicorn decided to give her a book, "Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone" which she will later enjoy.
Some time later, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity arrive with a nurse to check up on her. Fortunately, it's dinner time and after eating messily, Rainbow Dash got to send her friends away in order to continue reading the book. Later down the line she was awakened along with the rest of the Mane Six due to the blue pegasus' attempt at stealing the book back. It was resolved in the end with Rainbow Dash receiving a copy of said book from Twilight.
=====Dragon Quest=====
News of the Great Dragon Migration is spread, prompting the Mane Six to come over to observe, well... Except Flutteshy.

During the observation, Spike gives his friends some snacks though Rainbow Dash points out that he is a dragon, causing him insecurities which will fuel his resolve until the end of the episode.
=====Ponyville Confidential=====
Applejack was present along with the rest of the Mane Six when Rainbow Dash came in to inform them about the existence of the Foal Free Press, leading to a conversation amongst themselves. The next day they got to see the true horrors of public slander with the orange pony in particular being accused of sleeping on the job among other gossips.
After the CMC are confronted with the aftermath of their actions, they attempt to apologize for their wrongdoings. During their visit at Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack and Big Mac scolded the fillies for what they’ve done and asks them to leave.
After their apology stunt, they were able to absolve themselves of the hurt they've inflicted on many and their victims were able to forgive them later.
=====MMMYstery on the Friendship Express=====
With Twilight’s help on the safeguarding spell, Applejack and Rarity’s trampoline is rendered unnecessary during the transport of the giant well-decorated cake Pinkie Pie nicknamed the MMMM (Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness). After some tense moments, the cake was safely secured onto the train for transport, as is the other desserts from the other contestants.
The next day, it is revealed that some of the desserts have been partially eaten despite Pinkie Pie's attempts to guard them. After her convoluted attempt at trying to figure out who committed the crime, Twilight steps in and shows several clues on the culprit or in this case, culprits. Oddly enough, Applejack wasn’t involved in this crime at all.
Later on, Pinkie Pie manages to deal with the issue, allowing all the contestants to win the competition.
=====A Canterlot Wedding=====
Applejack was present along with the rest of the Mane Six when Twilight arrived to bring news about the invitation she had received from Princess Celestia, explaining the need for some help on a wedding. The orange pony in particular was tasked in preparing the catering. This is also when the Mane Six learns of the existence of the purple unicorn's brother, Shining Armor who is the groom.
After taking a train, the Mane Six arrive at Canterlot, finding security in the place already increased. Twilight ends up meeting her brother and begins to grow suspicious of Princess Cadance while her friends continue with their tasks with Applejack in particular getting her food thrown away while she wasn’t looking. At the end of the day, the friends gather together to listen to the purple unicorn’s "paranoia" which unbeknownst to them, was completely justified.
Twilight's attempts to warn everyone went horribly wrong and was witnessed by everyone, resulting in her being kicked out. Little did they knew...
After Twilight finds the real Princess Cadence imprisoned in a cave underneath, the two manage to escape from their prison and expose the impostor for who she is, a changeling, still in front of everyone that is. However this discovery was much worse as the impostor wasn't merely a changeling but their leader, Queen Chrysalis.
After explaining what she had done as well as her motives, Queen Chrysalis begins her assault, her changeling army already bypassing the castle guards. The whole crowd witnesses Princess Celestia's defeat in the hands of the queen, an feat that will become rather commonplace throughout the series. The sun alicorn begged for the Mane Six to retrieve the Elements of Harmony though they were soon stopped by the changeling army.
In a desperate attempt, Twilight convinces Cadence to try and break the spell on Shining Armor which she manages to do. With the power of love, the two managed to cast a powerful spell that blasts every changeling out of the castle. In the end, the wedding goes off without a hitch and a joyful party ensues.
====Season 3====
=====The Crystal Empire=====
Twilight meets up with the rest of her friends on the train, leading them to The Crystal Empire where they meet Shining Armor once again in the raging blizzard. The group was soon attacked by clouds of black smoke controlled by the evil tyrant, King Sombra. Thankfully they managed to arrive at the city, avoiding the clouds mostly unharmed.
After traversing the city, the group meet up with Princess Cadence again, now extremely exhausted from keeping up the barrier which protects the city. After some discussions, the Mane Six decided to look into the occurrence happening in the city and its denizens, the crystal ponies. The crystal ponies Applejack talked to seemed to lack parts of their memory, as are all the other denizens.
They had all faced similar results with all the ponies they talked to unable to give any valuable information. Visiting the library, Twilight was able to find a book on the history of the Crystal Empire, learning about a faire which served to restore the spirit of love and unity in the empire. After some discussions, the Mane Six are tasked with setting up said faire in hopes of restoring the memories of the crystal ponies.
After some nerve-wracking moments, the Mane Six agree to begin preparations for the faire with Twilight and Spike going off to find the Crystal Heart which is a pivotal part of the faire. Applejack stays around to make sure nobody views the fake crystal heart while Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash begin the show.
While Twilight and Spike are struggling to reach the Crystal Heart, her friends were keeping up the show with a variety of shows and distractions. Unfortunately, their efforts are for naught as despite their attempts, King Sombra manages to breech through the barrier, his powers affecting the city.
Unfortunately, their efforts are for naught as despite their attempts, King Sombra manages to breech through the barrier, his powers affecting the city. At this point however, Twilight and Spike had managed to acquire the Crystal Heart and after some close encounters, the latter manages to get it to Princess Cadence. With its power and presence, she was able to restore the crystal ponies to their healthier form, allowing them to banish King Sombra once again and restore the city to its pristine form.
=====Too Many Pinkie Pies=====
Applejack and Rainbow Dash were visited by Pinkie Pie during the day before she finally passes out. The two later visit her once she woke up and invites her to activities with the orange pony inviting her to a barn-raising event. Unfortunately, said activities take place at the same time which ends up motivating her to find the Mirror Pool. After cloning herself, she sends that clone to Applejack’s place though said clone comes back after being invited by Fluttershy to a picnic.
During the clone invasion of Ponyville, Applejack’s barn raising event was disturbed by the many clones hopping about, forcing her and her family to flee as Twilight tries to find a solution for this problem. The situation continues to escalate as the clones cause more chaos, forcing many of the denizens to hide until the purple unicorn arrives with a solution. After some teamwork, they manage to herd all the clones to one place in which they are subjected to the boring activity of watching paint dry which allows them to weed out any of the clones who quickly get bored.
In the end, only one Pinkie Pie was left, the real one. In the end despite the many activities she is invited to, she decided to just stay indoors and rest.
=====One Bad Apple=====
Applejack brings in the Cutie Mark Crusaders to pick up her cousin Babs Seeds at the train station. She remains unaware of their conflict throughout the episode.
=====Magic Duel=====
Twilight and Fluttershy arrive to Ponyville after a warning of Rainbow Dash about the return of Trixie. After a vicious duel, the blue unicorn manages to beat the purple unicorn and banish her from Ponyville until the next duel. Until then, she will rule over the town with an iron fist. Among the decisions she did, the orange pony was forced to hoof-press some apples for Trixie. When she refuses, the blue unicorn proceeded to tickle her with feathers until she complies.
During break time, the Mane Six and Spike attempt to find anything useful in Twilight's library. Fluttershy in particular managed to find a book on the amulet Trixie was wearing, an artifact of great power known as the Alicorn Amulet. In order to bring the information to Twilight, the yellow pegasus was sent to get outside Ponyville and find her.
Fluttershy succeeds in her endeavors and later meets up with Twilight and Zecora, the former figuring out a way to beat Trixie and some time later, returns to Ponyville to challenge her. The purple unicorn managed to goad her opponent with an amulet of her own, allowing the duel to commence. After some amazing tricks and feats of magic, Trixie was left dumbfounded by the power of this new amulet, prompting her to snatch it and take off the Alicorn Amulet.
It was all a ruse however and said amulet was powerless all along, unable to even drag Rainbow Dash down after she managed to snag the Alicorn Amulet from Trixie's hooves. During the trick in which Applejack turns young, old, and swaps genders, it’s revealed that it’s just painted versions of Apple Bloom, Granny Smith, and Big Mac. With that issue finished, the Ponyville residents can now safely welcome Princess Celestia's arrival.
=====Sleepless in Ponyville=====
Applejack was already present alongside the rest of the camper when Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo arrived. They spent the night listening to the blue pegasus' scary stories which was scaring the orange filly in particular though she refuses to show it. These events repeat several times until the two make amends.
The group eventually arrive to Winsome Falls where they share a bonding moment and spend the day together until nightfall when Scootaloo finally stops having nightmares, much to Princess Luna's delight.
=====Wonderbolts Academy=====
The Mane Six were gathered up while waiting for Rainbow Dash's acceptance letter to be delivered with Pinkie Pie in particular seemingly a lot more nervous than usual. Eventually, said letter does arrive which the blue pegasus checks, finding herself accepted. After saying goodbyes, she quickly rushed to the academy where she'll be staying for a week.
After 3 days, the group found that Rainbow Dash has yet to send a letter back which begins to worry them. They decide that they can try to directly send a care package to the academy via air balloon. Unfortunately on arrival, a tornado was running loose in the scene which caused the balloon to be snapped. Rainbow Dash manages to save them with some quick thinking and help from the other cadets.
=====Apple Family Reunion=====
The Apple Family of Ponyville spent their night preparing for the titular Apple Family Reunion. Due to Granny Smith getting older, she leaves the task of leading the efforts to Applejack, showing her what needs to be done and the relevance of this particular family reunion as everyone will be coming this time. With this in-mind, the orange pony begins planning for the next day.
After waking up, the whole family went off with their preparations until the extended family arrives. Eager to use up her preparations, she shows them all the events she’s prepared though her eagerness causes them to be pressured into engaging in these events, without much enjoyment.
It had been an exhausting few hours until Applejack allowed the extended family to go on a break which she used to bring them around on a hayride around the farm. This gets ruined by a swarm of fruit bats who chase them down, causing the wagon they’re riding to crash into the barn, destroying it. Realizing that everything’s fallen apart, the orange pony flees in shame.
Granny Smith later visits her granddaughter to remind her that they’ve been focusing so much on the activities that they’ve missed out on the reunion. She also reminds Applejack that they usually take a reunion picture by the barn. Realizing this, the orange pony decided to set up one last event, that being rebuilding the barn.
With a song and dance montage, the whole extended family worked together in rebuilding the barn and had a lot of fun talking to each other in the process. In the end, it all worked out and this Apple Family Reunion remained just as memorable as the last ones. 
=====Spike at Your Service=====
During Spike’s day off, he ends up by the Everfree Forest and gets attacked by timberwolves. Luckily, Applejack was there and managed to save the baby dragon from this attack, earning his gratitude. Unbeknownst to the orange pony, this was enough to him to pledge loyalty to her and Spike ends up following her to Sweet Apple Acres to help out on a variety of chores, with limited success.
Despite Applejack’s insistence, Spike refuses to leave and later when sent to break the news to Twilight, he comes back again as he seemingly earned the purple unicorn’s permission. The orange pony attempts various methods to get the baby dragon to leave, even asking some of her friends for advice until she finally meets up with Twilight who comes with a plan to stage a timberwolf attack on her.
At first, Spike almost fell for the trick though eventually, he figured it out. Conveniently however, actual timberwolves begin attacking which allowed the baby dragon to save Applejack, allowing him to break his pledge, much to the orange pony’s relief. 
=====Keep Calm and Flutter On=====
While the rest of the Mane Six were dealing with Discord's return and reformation plans, Fluttershy was dealing with a construction dispute between Applejack and a beaver. After some diplomacy, the yellow pegasus manages to convince the beaver to disassemble the dam it had made. Soon after, Rainbow Dash arrives to bring the two up to speed and to the place where Discord was about to be released.
After some security measures, the Mane Six use their elements to reverse Discord's petrification, allowing him to break free... and taunt them. He does not seem to appreciate this gesture and intends on wrecking havoc once he figures out a way to free himself. Despite this, he was still brought to Fluttershy's cottage where he ends up crashing in and causing property damage.
Despite only a short amount of time passing, Fluttershy is confident in Discord's reformation and decides to invite the rest of the Mane Six to dinner with him. Despite their suspicions, the Mane Six arrive later that night to find the cottage well-decorated and no longer spinning while Discord was wearing a waiter's outfit.
As expected however, chaos ensues and while the other ponies expressed their disdain for the draconequus, Fluttershy insists on not abandoning him which made him pause for a bit. Still, his plan had already gone underway which Angel reported on arrival. One of the beavers Discord had mutated managed to direct water to Sweet Apple Acres, causing a massive flood.
Fluttershy still tries to convince Discord to fix this, resulting in him freezing all the water. Tired of all the abuse, she finally snaps which allows the draconequus to realize his mistake and proceeds to fix the damages he caused. In the end, Discord is visited by Princess Celestia who was quite impressed by the yellow pegasus’ feat with the draconequus claiming that he'll likely use his powers for good most of the time... a statement which he will contradict repeatedly later down the line.
=====Just for Sidekicks/Games Ponies Plays=====
After Spike decides to run a temporary critter-sitter service to get some gems, he meets up with Applejack and convinces her to leave Winona with him. Some time later, the Mane Six arrive to leave behind their pets with him at Twilight's home. Applejack in particular brings Winona by a leash. With that, she leaves along her friends.
The Mane Six arrive at the Crystal Empire, now pristine and free of evil crystals. They had arrived to deal with the inspector for the Equestria Games who is well-known for being extremely strict and that they need to be at their best in order to impress her so that the Crystal Empire can be the host for the games. Upon arriving, they are greeted by Princess Cadence who invites them to a spa.
The pink alicorn warns that the inspector, a pony named "Ms. Harshwhinny", will arrive at 15 minutes. A pony did come at the station which the Mane Six, minus Rarity who needs to style Princess Cadence's mane, assume to be said inspector. They manage to perform the cheer they had practiced perfectly which impressed the inspector. While Twilight is off to check on Rarity and Princess Cadence, her friends attempt to entertain the inspector, only to eventually realize that they had taken the wrong pony, one named Ms. Peachbottom.
They quickly rushed to the train station, finding Ms. Harshwhinny no longer there. Conveniently when they visited the spa, Rarity had already finished her job... and the inspector is also there. She began complaining about the lack of a welcome though she changed her mind upon hearing Ms. Peachbottom's experience. With that, the Crystal Empire is nominated for this year's Equestria Games!
=====Magical Mystery Cure=====
Among the chaos stirred by Twilight's cutie mark switching spell, Applejack ended up with Rarity’s cutie mark struggling to make dresses. Her cutie mark is currently on Pinkie Pie who is running Sweet Apple Acres. Despite being unhappy, the ponies still continue to do these activities as it is their "destiny".
Eventually Twilight comes to an epiphany, she can try to remind her friends of what they meant to each other and in the process, remind them of themselves. After dealing with Rarity, she later helps out Applejack with sewing and realizes that this was her purpose. Her cutie mark returns to normal just like previous attempts and the purple unicorn continues her work.
Applejack was later led to Sweet Apple Acres, finding it in a state of disarray due to Pinkie Pie’s incompetence with the tasks in-hand. After going about the many chores of the farm, she soon realizes that this is her purpose, allowing her to regain her previous cutie mark. Twilight proceeded to repeat this process until all of her friends are back to normal. Once finished, the purple unicorn realized that she can complete the spell that caused the cutie mark switching.
After reciting the spell, she ended up disappearing for a few seconds before coming back, now as an alicorn...
Celebration time
====My Little Pony: Equestria Girls====
With that celebration over, the Mane Six and Spike arrive at the Crystal Empire to attend a princess summit. During break time, they try to comfort Twilight who was beginning to get nervous of her new alicorn status. Later that night, an amber unicorn sneaks into her bedroom and steals her crown and despite all attempts to stop her, she manages to escape.
Later that day, Princess Celestia explained the identity of this unicorn, one going by the name of Sunset Shimmer as well as the nature of the realm she had went to. The rest of the Mane Six were not allowed to join Twilight and Spike to this realm and so they stayed behind, unaware of the horrors she will face... Well, most of them would be unaware.
While the Applejack in this article never appears in the movie, her human counterpart does play an important role, as do the rest of the Mane Six human counterparts. After a long journey filled with hardships, humiliation, found friendship, and tense moments, Twilight and Spike return to Equestria, already in possession of the crown. With that, her friends cheer her and the story continues.
====Season 4====
=====Princess Twilight Sparkle=====
With all the free time that they have, the Mane Six cheer for Twilight as she learns how to fly with her new wings, Rainbow Dash being the one to help her out. Despite this she ends up crashing repeatedly until finally, she decides to just go indoors to view the stain glass window Princess Celestia had commissioned to commemorate Twilight's ascension.
While observing the glass pane, Twilight laments that her friends won't be there for the Summer Sun Celebration as they had been called in by the mayor to help out with Ponyville's own celebration. Applejack steps in to remind her that they'll always be united by the Elements of Harmony, said statement giving her comfort for the time being. With that, the rest of the Mane Six leave Twilight and Spike behind at Canterlot in order to board a train back to Ponyville.
Unbeknownst to them, a horrible predicament is occurring in Canterlot, followed by the Everfree Forest's invasion of Ponyville. Applejack in particular found her farm overrun by black thorny vines which she and her family are unable to remove, forcing them to flee. All her friends are also experiencing issues with this invasion with Twilight eventually coming over to make sure everything is alright.
After some explanations, the Mane Six receive their elements before summoning Discord to make sure that he wasn't responsible for this. The draconequus claims that he is innocent in this with only Fluttershy believing his statements. Just then, Zecora arrives from Everfree Forest after needing to evacuate though she had managed to save a few artifacts, one of which is a potion with dubious effects which Twilight drinks, allowing her to find out what is happening to the missing princesses.
After a harrowing look into the past brought upon by the potion she drank, Twilight eventually snapped out of it, having been mumbling throughout the whole vision. Unsure of what to do, Zecora suggested that she take another look into the past. Another harrowing vision later, she finds Princess Celestia and Luna explaining the details of the Tree of Harmony, the thing keeping the Everfree Forest at bay. With that in-mind, the purple alicorn leads her friends into the forest to check.
However, the forest always has a surprise ready for them and in this case, it comes in the form of a giant crocodile with rock-like skin. Twilight's friends managed to save her before deciding that at this point, they can't risk losing another princess and so they agree to send her back despite her protests. Now missing one of their members, they still continue their journey, eventually finding the fabled Tree of Harmony, currently constricted by the black vines that were everywhere though they fail to dispatch of them.
During this conundrum, they notice Twilight nearby in which they proceed to take her back in, having gotten lost without her presence. The purple alicorn figured out during her visions that the Tree of Harmony requires the elements and with some convincing, the Mane Six agrees to give their elements away despite the risks, their friendship being the thing that keeps them together.
This decision proved to be the right one as the vines retracted from the magic, followed by Celestia and Luna returning. A small chest with 6 locks appeared in the middle, its use currently unknown. The group returned to find Discord still there. As he ponders on the possible actions he can commit now that the elements are gone, Fluttershy quickly snaps him out of it.
After hearing about how this problem all began, that being Discord planting plunderseeds at the Tree of Harmony, he reasons that he had thought the Mane Six an important lesson and thankfully, gets away with it. They all later arrive at the Summer Sun celebration where Twilight finally gets to use her wings properly, earning the cheers of the crowd.
=====Castle Mane-ia=====
Rainbow Dash and Applejack find themselves in yet another challenge with this time involving the ability to stand still while being swarmed by bees. The two tapped out at the same time, leading to yet another tie. The orange pony decided to do the next challenge at the old castle where she explains the terrifying rumors surrounding it which her friend is skeptical of.
While traversing the hallways, the two ponies noticed a moving tarp which frightened them into fleeing, unaware of its true nature. Fleeing into a staircase, they pass by a number of suspiciously shaped torch holders. One of said torch holders was able to reach at Rainbow Dash, scaring her and Applejack into fleeing once again.
As the screams of the ponies who had entered the place continue to echo, Twilight eventually snaps out of her studying to check out what's happening. There she finds her friends minus Pinkie Pie all huddled up together in fear. Checking the pony who had playing the organ which triggers the traps, she finds it to be the pink pony herself.
In the end, Twilight suggests that the ponies make a collective journal in order to compile their friendship lessons before leading them out of the castle. Unbeknownst to them, a dark figure with yellow eyes observes them from the shadows. This will be important later
=====Daring Don't=====
After recovering from a recent accident, Rainbow Dash arrived at the library to find her friends enjoying a random holiday party which gives Twilight the opportunity to explain about the current conditions of the Daring Do publishing status, another 2 month delay. After some discussion, the blue pegasus decides that she wants to try and find the author and help her.
The Mane Six later find themselves in a desolate part of the woods where they encounter a lone cottage, supposedly where this author, A. K. Yearling lives in. While observing said cottage, they are startled by the author herself who was questioning the state of her home which is a mess. After some searching and discussions, Pinkie Pie points out the intruders in the cottage, prompting A. K. Yearling to throw away her disguise, revealing herself to be Daring Do.
As the adventurer tries to deal with the intruders who are currently being lead by her rival, Dr. Caballeron, the Mane Six tries to process what is happening though in the end, Daring Do ends up getting beaten up though she refuses help. Rainbow Dash and Twilight conclude that the evil doctor is planning on using a ring in the adventurer's cottage to perform a dark ritual.
They continue to follow Daring Do despite her repeated refusal until they find Dr. Caballeron again, prompting the adventurer to get a disguise and try to buy the ring. Unfortunately during the deal, they are attacked by Ahuizotl and his minions, prompting the evil doctor to flee. Unfortunately, Daring Do ends up losing the ring when Rainbow Dash interferes, resulting in her getting sent away though her friends quickly convinced her not to do so.
While Daring Do and Rainbow Dash are trying to enter the fortress, the rest of the Mane Six intercept Ahuizotl and distract him long enough for the two adventurers to stop the dark ritual. In the end, Rainbow Dash manages to get Daring Do's respect and later a pre-order of the book.
=====Power Ponies=====
While the Mane Six are revisiting the old castle, Spike's comic book triggers a spell which sucks them all into the superhero comic. As a bonus, they also get casted as the superheroes of this story with Applejack being casted as Mistress Mare-velous, a parody of generic superheroes with complex gadgets and no superpowers. After their failed encounter with the supervillain, Mane-iac, Spike explains to his friends about how their powers work.
They later approach the lair of the supervillain where an ambush resulted in them getting apprehended, except Spike who was left behind. Dragged inside the lair, they got to see the supervillain's evil plan which fittingly is hair-themed. After an evil monologue, Spike successfully takes down the minions, allowing the Mane Six to break free.
Mane-iac's attempt at trying to operate her weapon forced her to swat away a firefly, finally triggering Fluttershy's rage which allows her to grow in size. The beam ends up bouncing off her before getting smashed, all while the supervillain falls victim to her own weapon. In the end, the group managed to finish the story and exit the world.
=====Bats!=====
Waking up from her sleep, Applejack goes off to harvest some apples, only to find them rotten and sucked dry, a flock of fruit bats nearby. Realizing what’s at stake, she quickly calls in the rest of the Mane Six to deal with this problem as she’s currently trying to raise a giant apple for a competition. Her expressive disdain for the existence of these fruit bats worries Fluttershy in particular.
After a musical number of their viewpoints, the Mane Six decide that it's a better idea to try and get rid of the bats. After a meeting, Twilight formulates a plan to deal with the bats though they need Fluttershy's help. The fruit bats were gathered up to a single tree where the yellow pegasus stares them to submission, allowing the purple alicorn to safely cast her spell. Said spell removed the fruit-eating desires from the bats, making for a successful attempt at stopping their destruction. However while leaving, Fluttershy starts to suspiciously stare at an apple.
On the next day, the apples are still rotten, prompting Applejack to call her friends back. Finding a bat, they find Twilight's spell to still be functional. With no other option, they decide to perform a stake-out, gathering back at the orchard at night. Somehow they fail to notice Fluttershy's odd craving for the nearby apples until they split up.
Eventually Applejack finds what is possibly the culprit hiding in the darkness before calling in the rest of her friends. Shining a light on the figure, they find it to be no one other than Fluttershy who has morbed become a vampire batpony. As the group attempts to interact with their transformed friend, Twilight realized what had happened, her spell had redirected the fruit-eating desires from the bats to the yellow pegasus.
A few attempts were made to apprehend the transformed Fluttershy, all of which failed until Pinkie Pie points out about her stare, giving her friends an idea. Using Applejack's giant apple, they lure the vampire batpony into a mirror, causing her to use the stare on herself and get knocked out. This allowed Twilight to reverse her spell on Fluttershy, turning her back to normal.
In the end, Applejack agrees to Fluttershy's idea and sections off a specific part of the orchard for the fruit bats. As the Mane Six celebrate their friend's return, they are unaware that she still had some traits of this incident.
=====Rarity Takes Manehattan=====
At the train station, the Mane Six and Spike are ready to join Rarity at her business trip to Manehattan with her offering a few tickets to watch a play for her friends as gratitude for accompanying her. On their way, the white unicorn helps out many of the city denizens though eventually, it starts to rain. Luckily, her generosity pays off as a cab driver decides to repay the favor by giving the group a lift though unfortunately, Rarity ends up leaving behind her dresses.
As she despairs, her generosity pays off again when the hotel bellhop decides to repay the favor by bringing her suitcases containing the dresses to her. With that, she was able to arrive just in time for the fashion show where she ends up meeting an old acquaintance, Suri Polomare. She asks for help from the white unicorn who agrees to do so, even giving a piece of fabric for her.
This backfires when the rival ends up stealing Rarity's design, causing her great despair. The Mane Six and Spike greet her back at the hotel where she confesses about her mistake. Needing a way to be a step ahead of her rival, she decides to use the hotel room as inspiration before asking for help from her friends. This ended up taking a very long time, exhausting them from all the work though they did manage to pull it off, without getting even a thank you from the stressed Rarity.
After Rarity realized her mistake at the fashion show, she quickly tried to find her friends who had already left the hotel. Her panic was misjudged as they simply overslept and were just getting ready to watch the play though they also brought news of the white unicorn's loss. She wasn't particularly messed up by this and instead offers to accompany her friends with watching the play.
They had a great time at the play but as they were about to leave, they're approached by Suri Polomare's assistant, Coco Pommel. She ended up giving the trophy meant for Rarity, explaining that her boss had lied about winning to get the white unicorn to leave. As gratitude, she hires the assistant for another job before going home with a few gifts.
Amongst the gives she got was a glowing rainbow colored spool of thread... This will be important later.
=====Pinkie Apple Pie=====
After genealogy studies revealed Pinkie Pie to be distantly related to the Apple Family, Applejack decided to look deeper into it. Granny Smith suggests to ask one of her relatives, Goldie Delicious for further confirmation as she possesses a large number of artifacts relating to the Apple Family. Unfortunately, she lives in a distant location, meaning that they would need to go on a long journey to reach her.
While Pinkie Pie is making her own preparations, the Apple Family gathered up and agreed to be on their best behavior to not scare her off. They later go off with a wagon, only for it to collapse despite Big Mac’s insistence that it's fine. Applejack holds back her rage and suggests to use the river for transportation though unfortunately, they forgot to pack a raft.
After making a makeshift raft, Apple Bloom later loses their map though Granny Smith uses her knowledge to direct the raft... to a horrifying cave. The family proceeded to argue over this occurrence, causing the steering wheel to fly off as the raft moves to a waterfall. Thankfully, they all managed to survive this incident.
Due to the destruction of their raft, they’re forced to walk all the way to Goldie Delicious' cabin, only to find that she's off doing some errands. With Pinkie Pie doing her own errands, the Apple Family decided to apologize to each other as despite their previous disagreements, they are still a family which earned the pink pony’s admiration.
Meeting up with Goldie Delicious, they find that the page for the Apple family lineage is also damaged, meaning that the trip was for nothing. However, they still accept Pinkie Pie to the family... this will be important later.
=====Rainbow Falls=====
Applejack had agreed to volunteer for the catering job for Ponyvilles team and later joins the rest of them to the Equestria Games tryouts at the titular Rainbow Falls in order to keep cheering for them. After some trials and tribulations, Rainbow Dash learns a lesson on loyalty and ends up receiving a pin which later in the episode, starts glowing with a rainbow tint... This will be important later.
=====Three's a Crowd=====
The rest of the Mane Six bid their farewells to Fluttershy at the train station… which is when Discord arrives. At this point in time, the draconequus appeared to have a blue coloration and explains that he had caught the blue flu. Twilight decided to leave him with Applejack and Rarity though he quickly infects them and leaves while they’re incapacitated by the disease.
=====Pinkie Pride=====
After the foiled goof-off and revelation, Pinkie Pie realized that she had made a mistake and forfeits, planning on leaving after her failure. The rest of the Mane Six arrive to comfort her as despite how great Cheese Sandwich is at his job, the pink pony is a permanent resident that's here to stay. After listening thegamboge pony's backstory, Pinkie Pie finally regains her confidence and agrees to continue her party planning endeavors.
In the end, their efforts were well-placed and they managed to throw a successful party for Rainbow Dash. With the job done, Cheese Sandwich rides back into the sunset though not before giving Pinkie Pie one of his rubber chickens named "Boneless" which starts to glow with a rainbow colored tint... This will be important later.
=====Simple Ways=====
While Rarity attempted to impress a travel writer named Trenderhoof, the two come across Applejack whose behavior earns writer’s attraction, much to the white unicorn’s dismay. The orange pony was reasonably creeped out by this, even moreso when Trenderhoof starts following her around and observing her every action.
Applejack remains unaware of Rarity’s attempts to imitate her in order to attract Trenderhoof until she hid in a barn, encountering the white unicorn there as well. Despite the orange pony’s attempts to explain herself, Rarity would not hear any of it and leaves. Later she starts a fashion line imitating Applejack’s aesthetics which she disagrees with due to the white unicorn’s motives.
In an attempt to convince Rarity to stop, Applejack decided to imitate her by wearing a fancy dress and getting a makeover. The two got into an argument, ending in the white unicorn splattering mud on the dress. She quickly apologizes, realizing that nobody should change themselves just to impress other. 
=====Filli Vanilli=====
The rest of the Mane Six arrive just in time to listen to Fluttershy sing to her animals, earning her panic. Rarity ends up inviting her to be a member of the "Pony Tones" who are currently here for a fundraiser for a nearby pet center. Despite being a huge fan of the group, Fluttershy couldn't bring herself to join, suffering from severe stage fright. Still, they take her to see the setup for the show where they get to see Big Mac arrive with a loss of voice due to a turkey call competition.
Wanting to help, Fluttershy decides to use a concoction from Zecora, allowing her to regain the masculine voice she got during her poison joke affliction. She later assists the Pony Tones in their performances to fill in for Big Mac until the last one when his voice has recovered. Unfortunately during the performance, the yellow pegasus knocks over the curtains, exposing her performance to the crowd. Despite the positive reaction, her stage fright gets the best of her and scares her out of the place.
While recovering in her cottage, she was surprised by Pinkie Pie who proceeds to poke her with various statements which scares her out once again. Despite the compliments she gets, she still vows to never perform in public again. However, Rarity points out that she was the one who suggested on going to all those performances and she genuinely enjoyed performing. In the end, Fluttershy agrees to join the Pony Tones though in the condition that she doesn't go on larger crowds.
=====It Ain't Easy Being Breezy=====
The rest of the Mane Six arrive to listen to Fluttershy's explanation on what to do to ensure a safe arrival of the breezies. Besides a good breeze which Rainbow Dash will be providing, they also need to be cheered on... quietly. Said breezies eventually arrive to town though after an incident, the yellow pegasus decided to take care of some injured breezies for a while.
Unfortunately, she ends up getting attached to them though after an engagement with their leader, Fluttershy realizes she had a mistake and quickly sends the breezies away. Due to a lack of numbers, the breeze isn't gentle enough to carry these breezies, forcing Twilight to turn herself and her friends into breezies in order to lead the other breezies back home.
This plan was a success and they all manage to arrive back at their home to meet with their friends and family. After being turned back to ponies, Fluttershy noticed the flower Seabreeze gave to her for gratitude, finding it glowing with a rainbow colored tint... This will be important later.
=====Somepony to Watch Over Me=====
After some discussion, the Apple Family decided that Apple Bloom is old enough to be left home alone, much to her and her friends’ delight. Some time later, the yellow filly receives a list of chores to do while her family is gone. Applejack and Big Mac later left town to deliver some pies. Apple Bloom was surprisingly responsible and capable, finishing all her chores without much issue.
Somehow, Applejack manages to come back just as her sister finished, without Big Mac, just to watch over Apple Bloom, despite deciding she can do this task on her own a few moments ago. The orange pony refused to leave her sister alone, annoying her in every moment of the day and forcing her to get some help from her friends to deal with this.
Checking up on her sister, again, Applejack finds her perfectly fine in bed… before finding out that it’s just Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle in disguises. Questioning them, the orange pony realizes that Apple Bloom had went off on her own to make the pie delivery she had neglected. Applejack quickly rushed to find her sister, ending up in a swamp and facing off against a chimera who is threatening Apple Bloom.
After taking the chimera down, Applejack scolded Apple Bloom for leaving on her own though realizing that the pies she carried were in good condition and that she made it here on her own, the orange pony praises her. The two were able to make the delivery and Applejack promises to not interfere with Apple Bloom’s home alone time. 
=====Maud Pie=====
The Mane Six arrive at Pinkie Pie's place to find piles of rock candy littered all around in order to celebrate the arrival of her dear sister, Maud Pie. After some testing on the many sweets the pink pony has made, she finally explains their purpose, to make rock candy necklaces. Eventually the train arrives, prompting them to quickly rush there and greet the dull pony.
A lakeside picnic was set up with Maud eventually showing up, alongside her "colorful" personality. After a "riveting" game of camouflage, the rest of the Mane Six take a break while Fluttershy takes the pets back to their homes. Later once she's back, they discuss the possibility that the dull pony's behavior may be due to shyness. Applejack ends up inviting Maud to cider-making though she ends up smashing a number of apples with rocks, her bluntness scaring even the orange pony.
Pinkie Pie finally finishes the rock candy necklaces, only to be told by her friends that they aren't very fond of her sister, causing her great sadness. In one last attempt, she ends up making an elaborate obstacle course in hopes that it can help them all bond though she ends up almost crushed by one of said obstacles. Luckily Maud managed to step in and save her from the danger, earning the respect of the ponies.
Eventually they were able to reconcile with Maud and wade goodbye for her, until she comes back eventually.
=====Leap of Faith=====
While the Apple Family were swimming about, Granny Smith was unable to join due to her aching joints. Conveniently the moment they come home, Flim and Flam are there advertizing their new product, a miracle cure for a variety of ailments. After a song and demonstration, the old pony was convinced and bought a bottle. The next day, her family finds her swimming perfectly fine by a creek though Applejack was still not convinced.
Applejack and Apple Bloom return to the scammers’ tent, finding their secretary, Silver Shill who they follow. He flees and the orange pony gives chase, ending up in Flim and Flam’s tent where they reveal that their tonic is just a placebo. They also explain how much good it’s causing which was enough to convince Applejack into not revealing the truth.
Coming back to her family, Applejack finds that Apple Bloom has suggested that Granny Smith join a swim meet. In order to do this, the old mare bought an entire stock of Flim and Flam’s tonics while Applejack nervously gives them her approval, allowing them to sell more tonics. However hearing Silver Shill praise her for dishonesty was enough to snap her out of this and she quickly puts a stop to the act, just before Granny Smith was about to jump off a high dive.
Applejack explained how the tonic was merely a placebo which Silver Shill backs up, inspired by her courage. This costed Flim and Flam’s credibility, forcing them to leave once again. The secretary thanks the orange pony for revealing the truth and gives her a coin, planning on paying back everyone who has been scammed in this scam. Applejack later returns to her farm to write on her journal before noticing her family swimming nearby. She decided to join them, unaware of the coin she received is glowing with a rainbow tint... This will be important later.
=====Testing Testing 1, 2, 3=====
After Twilight fails to properly educate Rainbow Dash for her upcoming test, she ends up asking her friends for help on this issue. Applejack unfortunately has no advice as she believes in learning from personal experiences which isn’t very helpful.
In the end however, Twilight figures out Rainbow Dash's learning style and ends up successfully educating her enough to pass the exam.
=====Trade Ya!=====
The Mane Six arrive at Rainbow Falls in order to participate in the Traders Exchange event, a day in which bartering is legalized. Applejack and Rarity in particular planned on working together to get their hooves on some rare items. They eventually find the item they’re looking for though it’ll cost them all of their goods. The orange pony is planning on using it for a pie tin which the white unicorn disapproves of.
The two eventually reconcile after the fight and on the way back, they revealed that they managed to get something for each other. Applejack was given a smaller pie tin and in return, she gives Rarity a different brooch. 
=====Inspiration Manifestation=====
Among the chaos Rarity stirs while under the effects of Inspiration Manifestation, Applejack and Granny Smith’s apple cart becomes decorated with jewels though the two aren’t particularly worried by this. 
=====Equestria Games=====
Applejack joins the rest of the Mane Six in order to accompany Apple Bloom who had signed up as a flag bearer. Later when the cloud gets frozen, she alongside everyone without wings is in danger before Spike steps in and melts it all with his fire. 
=====Twilight's Kingdom=====
After hearing about Tirek's return, the Mane Six gather up in order to greet Discord after he had been elected to try and stop the evil centaur. His comments prompted Twilight to go back to the old castle in order to see what to do about the chest on the Tree of Harmony while he himself goes off to try and find Tirek. Unfortunately, he was quite good at manipulation and even though the draconequus' friendship with Fluttershy is on the line, he still chooses to ally himself with the evil centaur.
Eventually Twilight figures out how to open the chest, using the gifts each of her friends got which had an ominous rainbow glow to them. Remember “Leap of Faith”? Yes, this is where the coin comes into play. Among the other artefacts the ponies bring, they all form into keys which perfectly fit the locks on the chest in the Tree of Harmony.
Unfortunately, they are missing Twilight's key and she ends up getting called in for a meeting at Canterlot to learn of the horrid truth, Discord has betrayed them and Tirek is rampaging across Equestria, forcing the princesses to give away their magic to the purple alicorn for safekeeping.
After receiving the magic of the princesses, Twilight goes back to Ponyville while attempting to keep her magic a secret, all while Canterlot is under siege by Tirek and Discord who find the princesses drained of magic. However, they eventually figure out this ruse and quickly arrive to Ponyville, the draconequus putting the Mane Six except Twilight into a cage.
Once Tirek is done absorbing their magic, he moves on to Discord, betraying him as well in the process. After a tough duel with Twilight, the evil centaur was forced to use her friends as a bargaining chip for the magic which the purple alicorn agrees to. Discord ends up giving her the medallion he got as a sign of friendship with said medallion now glowing with a rainbow tint... This is the last key.
The Mane Six managed to avoid Tirek's attacks long enough to reach the Tree of Harmony and unlock the chest, releasing a rainbow colored blast which grants them great power, strong enough to obliterate the evil centaur and send him back to his previous prison. With that issue finished, they continued to repair the damage that has been done before finally, a giant crystal castle rises from the ground to replace Twilight's destroyed library.
As the powers wear off, Twilight is told by the princesses that said castle belongs to her while she herself learns the role of the Princess of Friendship, to spread the magic of friendship across Equestria. Despite this, she still credits her friends for playing an important role for her and they find 7 thrones inside said castle. A celebration was held for the ponies and a new and exciting era begins...
====Season 5====
=====The Cutie Map=====
Checking on the functions of this new castle, the Mane Six find that the desk in the middle of the main room is showing a map. It also has the capability of calling in certain members of the Mane Six via their cutie map and for this occasion, they are called in to a desolate town known as "Our Town". With Spike left behind to guard the place, the ponies venture off to this new adventure.
Arriving at the village, they find the denizens to be slightly discolored and always smiling which Pinkie Pie quickly notices, their houses arranged into a pair of parallel rows. Most disturbingly, their cutie marks are all the same, a black "=" mark. After meeting some of the disturbing villagers, they are lead to meet the cult/village leader herself, Starlight Glimmer.
After some explanations of the values she believes in, the Mane Six were rather disturbed and requested some time to consider their decision in joining Starlight's cult. During their discussions which turns to arguing, they are approached by the cultists who are intrigued by the cutie marks and friendship of the ponies, prompting them to invite the Mane Six to a secret meeting.
They were soon informed of where the cutie marks are stolen using a magic staff and stored in a vault. Visiting said vault, Twilight believes that they had been called to the place in order to return the cutie marks to the cultists. Unfortunately, Starlight gets to them first and proceeds to take away their cutie marks and replacing them with the black "=" marks before dropping them off at a re-education house.
While stuck in said re-education house, the ponies to contend with both propaganda and having to deal with a lack of their former talents. Applejack in particular has lost her accent. The Mane Six decide to send Fluttershy out in order to try and learn more about the situation. This proved to be a worthwhile endeavor as she learns something pivotal...
Starlight Glimmer had a cutie mark all along.
The next day when Starlight goes off to check on the rest of the Mane Six with Party Favor, the pony that got put in the re-education house, exiting while claiming remorse. Fluttershy quickly douses the heliotrope unicorn in water, revealing her true cutie mark.
The cultists soon realized that their leader is a hypocrite all along and quickly turn on her. While they're rushing to retrieve their cutie marks, the Mane Six approached Starlight's house to find that she had ran off with their cutie marks. With the help of the villagers and their special talents, the Mane Six finally catch up with Starlight and succeed in regaining their cutie marks.
Twilight in particular engages in a spell fight against an enraged Starlight until she was forced to flee. In the end, the now no longer cultists celebrate their freedom from the cult. The Mane Six's cutie marks gave one last glow which they realize to be a sign that their mission is finished.
=====Castle Sweet Castle=====
The Mane Six arrive at Twilight's new castle, finding her a dishevelled mess. They decide to listen to her reasoning as well as everyone else's experience with Twilight's behavior. As it turns out, she had been uncomfortable in her castle, prompting her friends to offer a makeover to the house while she gets a relaxing day in the spa. With her agreement, the ponies come back later with some decorative items in order to make the castle more lively.
Their combines efforts ended up creating a mess with Applejack in particular putting various farm products and implements to make the place cozier. Realizing their mistakes, Spike was quickly sent to stall Twilight while they try to figure out what the best course of action is. For now, they have managed to fix the mistakes they've added though it ends up putting them back in square one.
Eventually, Applejack figures out what to do before coming to the ruins of Twilight's library. Once she returned, they showed the biggest feature they worked on, a chandelier depicting many important memories of the purple alicorn's life. Twilight was moved by this and was extremely grateful of her friends' efforts. Of course, some of the rooms did get a few modifications from the ponies, much to everyone's amusement.
=====Bloom & Gloom=====
Applejack appears occasionally during Apple Bloom’s many nightmares until it’s resolved. 
=====Tanks for the Memories=====
After her failure to cancel winter, the Mane Six visit the saddened Rainbow Dash with Fluttershy quickly explaining that Tank will likely not be awake for the winter.

=====Appleoosa's Most Wanted=====
With Applejack partaking in a rodeo event at Appleoosa, the Cutie Mark Crusaders got to go along when the group is notified of a loose criminal. Due to her cousin getting injured, the orange pony has to practice on her own though the previous news were beginning to worry her, causing her to scold the fillies when they walk out of her sight. Just then, a tall stack of hay bales falls over the group and after some investigation, they discover that this event was the work of the criminal.
Despite this incident, Applejack still stays in the competition and later, the Cutie Mark Crusaders disappeared, worrying her greatly. She alongside her cousin met up with the sheriffs in order to start a search party. They conveniently find the fillies alongside the criminal Trouble Shoes just as he had finished explaining to them his backstory.
The next day, the Cutie Mark Crusaders attempt to explain Trouble Shoes’ innocence though Applejack wouldn’t hear it due to yesterday’s incident. She later goes on the contest, unaware that the fillies have escaped along with the “criminal” who they’ve dressed up in a clown costume and sent with the rodeo clowns. Once the orange pony was done, the clowns went in with Trouble Shoes’ performance being the most favorable.
Unfortunately, his disguise was knocked off, prompting the Cutie Mark Crusaders to go and defend him. While this does clear his name, Applejack punished the fillies for running off by getting them to clean the rodeo.
=====Make New Friends but Keep Discord=====
During Discord's panic to find someone to bring him along to the gala, he meets up with Applejack who was bringing Apple Bloom for the gala. The two later arrive to the gala where they end up suffering alongside everyone else due to the Smooze's shenanigans until it is neutralized.
=====Slice of Life=====
The Mane Six end up having to fight off the Bugbear while the rest of the show's background characters try and ensure Cranky and Matilda's wedding goes well. In the end, their efforts were all successful and the episode ends with Twilight hugging her friends and being grateful of staying in Ponyville.
=====Party Pooped=====
During the yak’s arrival, Applejack was tasked with making hay beds for them though just as last time, they end up getting enraged and proceeded to commit mass destruction, again... She along with the rest of the Mane Six explain their troubles to Pinkie Pie who has been tasked with a party for the yaks, causing her great anxiety.
As chaos ensues, Pinkie Pie boards a train to Yakyakistan though it ends up being blocked off by a group of sheep. She later hitches a ride on a delivery cart which ends up in the Crystal Empire where she meets up with Princess Cadence who directs her to Yakyakistan. Unfortunately, just as she reached the entrance, a sled somehow drags her all the way back to Ponyville, rendering her whole journey useless.
Her friends later find her at her cave under Sugarcube Corner where she was in a state of distress. From their encouragement, Pinkie Pie figures an idea for a party for the yaks. She manages to find them stuck in the train station due to a group sheep and proceeds to invite them to the party which is merely a regular party in the town. After a heartfelt speech, she managed to calm the yaks down and even make them cancel their declaration of war, a success for the pink pony.
=====Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?=====
In Princess Luna's dream, the Mane Six manage to take Nightmare Moon down and free her, causing her to realize that she just had a good dream. Later in the waking world, the Mane Six are discussing their horrid dreams which had caused them a loss of sleep. They quickly contacted Princess Luna who later arrives and explains the problem, the Tantabus has escaped and is now invading their dreams with plans to grow strong enough to invade the waking world itself.
To catch it, the Mane Six proceed to gather up that night for a sleepover as Princess Luna gets ready to hunt the Tantabus in their dreams. Once they have fallen asleep, the moon alicorn uses her magic to enter said dreams, finding the many nightmares the Mane Six are experiencing with Applejack in particular having to watch her prized apples rot before her eyes. After her failure, the Mane Six console Princess Luna though she soon realizes that the Tantabus has escaped again, this time to the dreams of Ponyville's residents.
Twilight suggests to combine the dreams of the ponies into one singular dream, allowing for everyone to gather up and attempt to keep the Tantabus down. Despite this, the creature continues to grow larger, causing Princess Luna to blurt out its origins, that she had created it in order to punish herself for her actions as Nightmare Moon. The ponies quickly rush to console her as well as ask her to forgive herself which once she does so, successfully dispels the Tantabus.
=====Made in Manehattan/Brotherhooves Social=====
While Applejack was playing with Apple Bloom, they fail to notice Big Mac giving them an old toy they used to play with, saddening him greatly. Later, the orange pony was summoned by the Cutie Map which is an issue as it was the day of the Sisterhooves Social. Thankfully, her brother was willing to cover up for her and later was able to help out the yellow filly with a variety of competitions.
During Twilight’s reading session, Applejack and Rarity arrive at the castle, having been called by the Cutie Map and sent to Manehattan. The orange pony in particular was confused on why she was summoned for a mission in a big city though the purple alicorn reassures her that there’s probably a reason.
Applejack and Rarity later arrive to Manehattan and are greeted by Coco Pommel who is setting up a restoration of a theatre event. The event was usually hosted by a community member though said member left and nobody else was willing to continue it. This issue has caused a rift in the community which the white pony was willing to fix by being the one to host the theatre event.
Assuming this to be the friendship problem they’re called to fix, Applejack and Rarity get to work with the former using her farmhand skills to fix the rundown park. Later when the hired actors arrived, the stage that had been set up collapsed due to old age. Scraping by what little they could get, Coco Pommel is beginning to lose hope though Applejack suggests to do what they can.
Relocating to the neighborhood square, the actors continued with their gig which despite its small scale, attracts some nearby denizens. Said play ended as a massive success, great enough that they were able to restore the community’s bond and later, they were even willing to fully fix up the park, marking the end of Applejack and Rarity’s mission. 
=====The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows=====
After discovering the secret of Shining Armor and Princess Cadence's baby, Pinkie Pie needs to keep said information a secret. While this seems harmless, she soon realizes how difficult it is and ends up having to avoid her friends and even Ponyville residents just to keep it a secret. Eventually she arrives at Twilight's Castle, only to be told that Shining Armor and Princess Cadence had their arrival delayed.
Luckily before Pinkie Pie can go insane, the couple arrive after dealing with their delays and proceed to send the Mane Six on a scavenger hunt. Eventually they discover several items relating to the secret the couple were planning to explain, their baby. In the end, the pink pony managed to get through it all without revealing the secret to anyone else.
=====Hearthbreakers=====
Applejack and Pinkie Pie meet up with Twilight and Spike to remind them of their holiday plans. Once done, they boarded a train which later arrives at the Pie Family Rock Farm. At first it seems to be promising as the Pie family seems to have regular Hearth's Warming traditions. Upon stepping out, they are greeted by Maud who had come back for the holidays.
Entering the house, they are greeted by the Pie family and their dull traditions which continue to disappoint the apple family. In the end, they grow tired and attempt to perform their regular traditions which ended up causing an earthquake which then displaces a sacred boulder. During the cleanup, Applejack and Pinkie Pie lament their failures of getting their families to get along.
Out of shame, the Apple family decided to leave and during the train ride, Granny Smith explained that the Pie family likely valued the sacred boulder despite its unassuming appearance. Applejack realized that she had disregarded the Pie family’s tradition and soon gets an epiphany, prompting her to come back along with her family.
Arriving back at the rock farm, the two families worked together on the boulder relocation process. Once they finished, they exchanged apologies and agreed to take this slowly.
=====Scare Master=====
After taking cover in the castle and talking to Spike, Fluttershy decided to meet up with her friends and finally agrees to join them in the Nightmare Night celebrations, much to their delight. The yellow pegasus was soon brought in to the Carousel Boutique in order to get a costume, settling for a black dress in the end. Later the group engage in some Nightmare Night games in Sugarcube Corner though Fluttershy fails to enjoy any of it.
Twilight suggests that Fluttershy try and do the scaring herself, a suggestion she agrees to. An hour later, her friends arrive to her cottage, only to be disappointed by the lackluster scares. The yellow pegasus is disappointed by this and ends up giving up though Angel manages to help her regain her resolve.
The rest of the Mane Six later visit the Apple family's haunted maze where after some regular scares, they find themselves in a tree tunnel. While exploring the place, a scaled monster began chasing them down until they are cornered by a cliff. To make things worse, Flutterbat appears from the horizon and descends upon the screaming pony... Only to stop and reveal herself to be Fluttershy all along. She also explains that her animal friends had been assisting her in making the additional props truly terrifying.
While her friends cheer her for successfully scaring them, Fluttershy still does not enjoy the act of scaring her friends and decides to go back to her cottage and resume her usual routine. They understand her plight and continue with their night while leaving the yellow pegasus to her own devices, much to her delight. 
=====What About Discord?=====
After seeing Rainbow Dash seemingly getting along with Discord, Twilight and Spike proceed to look deeper into this phenomenon, finding Applejack and Pinkie Pie hanging out with the draconequus, making some inside jokes and excluding the purple alicorn, leaving her confused and uncomfortable.
She later invites her friends and Discord in order to hear out what they've been doing though unfortunately, they were incapable of giving a clear answer. After multiple failed attempts and Discord's suspicious advice, Twilight somehow concludes that he has casted a spell on her friends and later, she gathers them up to drink a dispelling potion which ends up having no effect.
In the end, Twilight learns that it's OK to be jealous as long as she admits it and as it turns out, Discord had merely left the purple alicorn behind, thinking she was busy with some problems. Once that's all settled, the friends gather up for a group hug.
=====The Mane Attraction=====
During a music festival, Pinkie Pie managed to help out Twilight with her hiring process, managing to book a famous singer by the name of Countess Coloratura. Applejack however does not recognize her, earning everyone's surprise. As it turns out, the two are childhood friends who drifted apart though they had been close for a while. Later the singer arrives, the orange pony attempted to greet her, only to be stopped by the manager, Svengallop.
Seeing this occurrence, Applejack worries about what happened to her friend though Rarity assures her that it’s fine. After Coloratura finished her performance, she decided to visit a school and entertain the students, much to the orange pony’s relief. However, she soon overhears Svengallop threatening Pinkie Pie into conforming with some demands.
Hearing this, Applejack decided to confront Coloratura about this, leading to a heated argument between them which ends with her renouncing her childhood name and leaving in anger. The orange pony still helps out Pinkie Pie with the demands and later manages to convince the singer for one last chance to prove her accusations.
During the show, Svengallop confronts Pinkie Pie again, explaining the cancellation of a school foals contest while also insulting the foals involved. This was broadcasted by Twilight to the public, including Coloratura. With that, she fired her abusive manager on the spot and goes to do her last performance herself. Now on her own, she begins to have doubts though Applejack encouraged her to simply be herself.
This turned out to be great advice as she was able to make a great performance with only a piano and a backup orchestra which earns the applause of the audience. As gratitude, Coloratura invites the Cutie Mark Crusaders to sing along a song she and Applejack had written years ago.
=====The Cutie Re-Mark=====
During one of Starlight's attempts at meddling with time, she manages to stop Fluttershy from getting bullied, prompting Rainbow Dash to not perform her first Sonic Rainboom. The disaster caused by this one results in Queen Chrysalis ruling Equestria and the remaining denizens end up creating resistance which managed to catch Twilight and Spike on their way back.
After some explanations, the two were able to escape just in time as Queen Chrysalis managed to arrive at their base. Twilight and Spike continue their battle against Starlight repeatedly, similarly ending in disaster repeatedly as well. Eventually the two manage to snag the heliotrope unicorn alongside them, showing them another desolate disastrous future as a result of her actions.
Eventually after seeing Starlight's backstory, Twilight manages to reach out to her with a heartfelt speech, finally convincing her to stop her attempts. With that issue finished, they all return back to the present, finding it not disastrous this time. The Mane Six soon arrive to confront the heliotrope unicorn though Twilight manages to convince them not to do so.
In the end, they agree to teach Starlight about friendship... and let her go without any consequences despite everything she has done.
====Season 6====
=====The Crystalling=====
After talking to Twilight, Starlight decides to join in with the rest of the Mane Six who were planning their visit to the Crystal Empire to see Shining Armor and Princess Cadence's new baby as well as the Crystalling ceremony which has the ability to strengthen the Crystal Heart. Some conversations later, the purple alicorn receives the invitation, allowing them all to go to the celebration.
Upon arriving, they meet up with Shining Armor who had become sleep deprived though he still leads them in while Starlight and Spike split from the group to meet up with Sunburst. Arriving at the palace, they eventually got to see the new baby named Flurry Heart, an alicorn. This is the first occurrence of a natural alicorn birth and for that reason, Princess Celestia and Luna have arrived to observe this phenomenon.
The decision to continue the Crystalling was approved and soon, the rest of the Mane Six try to help out with the preparations while Twilight and Pinkie Pie look after the baby. Despite their help, Shining Armor still gets a nervous breakdown due to stress and lack of sleep. Somehow he still manages to finish up the preparations though it still goes horribly wrong due to Flurry Heart's wailing, somehow shattering the Crystal Heart...
With the Crystal Heart shattered, the harsh snowstorm that was usually kept out could now close in on the city. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Fluttershy in particular were tasked to try and get the ponies outside to take cover from the snow, with not much success. It was only with Shining Armor's intervention do the ponies agree to move away.
Eventually after some struggles, Starlight and Sunburst figure out a way to restore the Crystal Heart using the help of the ponies. In the end, everything ended just fine.
=====A Hearth's Warming Tail=====
During yet another Hearth's Warming Eve, Ponyville denizens are decorating the town with Applejack in particular distributing baked goods to the whole town. As Starlight wasn't interested in the holiday, Twilight decides to explain a new story, a parody of "A Christmas Carol". In the end, she accepts the moral of the story and joins in on the celebrations.
=====The Saddle Row Review=====
The Mane Six arrive at the Carousel Boutique to meet up with Rarity who was reading a newspaper, much to the horror of her friends. A flashback occurs, showing the ponies arriving at Saddle Row, a famous street which the white unicorn managed to set a shop at. As expected, the place is a dusty mess and new problems continue to occur with Rarity still insisting to get the shop open at the date she had planned.
Applejack in particular was tasked in dealing with the landlord who is attempting to get his daughter to work at the place, with limited success, the same thing all her friends are experiencing. Twilight was forced to lock Rarity out to keep her from seeing the chaos going on. In the end however, they realized that the white unicorn wanted them to do things their way as she knows them well.
With this in mind, the rest of the Mane Six went back to work with Applejack in particular helping the daughter with making some original designs. She is later seen serving snacks alongside the raccoons. Back at the present, the reviews were particularly great and while Rarity questions why her friends didn't tell her about the problems with them simply not wishing to burden her.
=====Applejack's "Day" Off=====
Due to her many chores, Applejack is unable to arrive at the spa in time, leading to Rarity getting deformed from staying in the sauna for too long. Knowing this the next time, the white unicorn invites Twilight and Spike to deal with the orange pony’s chores. After some convincing, she agrees and gives the two a list of chores and instructions before going with Rarity to the spa.
Upon arriving, Applejack and Rarity got to see the long line leading to the sauna. Asking an employee, the orange pony got a grasp on the issue and went off to fix it, allowing the line to shorten considerably due to faster services. Unfortunately, she and the white unicorn had ran out of time, the latter learning that the employees have gotten used to how things are, which is slow and inefficient.
Going back to Sweet Apple Acres, the two witness Twilight and Spike struggling with the chore list. To help them out, Applejack gives them a demonstration of each of those steps, realizing how overly complicated they all are. Her friends realized this and helped her find ways to simplify her chores. In the end, the orange pony got to have an actual spa day with her spare time.
=====The Cart Before the Ponies=====
After registering for the Applewood Derby, the Cutie Mark Crusaders get to work at building a cart for the race with Apple Bloom planning for a faster design. Unfortunately, their siblings are overbearing with their help on the designs, a trend that continues the next day when they begin construction. It gets even worse when they disapprove any addition the fillies add onto their carts.
The day of the derby finally arrives and somehow, the older ponies are able to drive the carts despite it being an event for the foals. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were reasonably frustrated by this though nobody notices until a huge pile-up happened with the cause partially being a detached wheel from Rainbow Dash's cart.
This incident was the tipping point for the Cutie Mark Crusaders who proceeded to vent their frustrations on their sisters, much to their surprise. Realizing their mistake, the ponies apologize and in the end, they later rebuild the carts as the Cutie Mark Crusaders intended and allow them to race themselves.
=====28 Pranks Later=====
Applejack joins the rest of the Mane Six’s meeting regarding Rainbow Dash's pranking spree. She later sets up a number of alarms which the blue pegasus somehow bypasses, resulting in her waking up in the pig pen. The orange pony later joins the rest of the town who have also been pranked by the blue pegasus in order to complain to Pinkie Pie.
After witnessing Pinkie Pie’s strange illness, Rainbow Dash decided to still go on with her plan and later meets up with Applejack, Rarity, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders to distribute the dyed cookies. They split off once finished, only to later encounter the blue pegasus again who leads to a barn to take cover as the town had turned into zombies.
Unfortunately, they later get infected and begin to swarm Rainbow Dash as she admits that this occurrence isn't funny. This is when it was finally revealed that this was a prank all along set up by Pinkie Pie and Ponyville's denizens to scare the blue pegasus straight. It was a success... with the side effect of her thinking up a way to one-up them.
=====Buckball Season=====
During accuracy practice, Applejack was visited by Rainbow Dash who was wondering what the former was doing. She explains to the blue pegasus about a buckball challenge from her cousin, Braeburn. Rainbow Dash unfortunately is unaware about the existence of this sport, prompting the orange pony to bring her to some buckball practice, getting to see Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie who are part of the team.
Applejack proceeds to explain the rules of buckball as well as their requirement for some extra team members to counter their Appleloosa opponents. During training, they manage to find the pink pony quite good at offense as well as find an extra member for the team, a unicorn colt named Snails.
Once the team was ready, Applejack and Rainbow Dash decide to train the team with the former tossing softballs at Pinkie Pie at rapid speed while explaining the importance of her role, causing her great anxiety and messing up her game. She and Fluttershy's poor performances prompted them to be sent home for rest.
Some time later, the whole team had gathered on a train to Appleloosa in order to compete with Applejack and Rainbow Dash explaining the celebrations Ponyville may get should they win, causing Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie to grow more nervous until they finally confess their anxieties before running off. After realizing their mistake, the orange pony and blue pegasus decide to apologize to their friends, offering to take their place instead.
After a small practice match, Applejack and Rainbow Dash managed to show to the team how much better they are when no longer under pressure and apologize once again for their previous actions. With Snails' advice, they manage to just play for fun and end up winning against their opponents. This will be important later...
=====Viva Las Pegasus=====
Applejack and Fluttershy were quickly startled by the Cutie Map's plans to send them to Las Pegasus, a bustling city and a parody of Las Vegas. Twilight tries to comfort them which was enough to get them to go to the place, only to be further disheartened by the conditions of the place. Exploring it further, they come across the man running the whole place, a sleezy pony under the name of Gladmane.
After making some wild claims, Applejack and Fluttershy decided to continue their investigation, eventually coming across familiar figures. The scammer twins Flim and Flam who are currently on uneven terms with each other though due to past history, the orange pony is unsure about helping them and instead leaves to find something else, finding out that Gladmane had been setting up arguments for all his workers in order to keep them at the place which allows him to reap in more profits.
Applejack and Fluttershy meet up again later to discuss their findings, learning that Flim and Flam is one of Gladmane’s many victims and that his schemes are confirmed by some of the animals in the place. Reluctantly, the two decide to ask for help from the scammer twins to expose the dark blue pony's lies who were eventually willing to help.
Later Applejack and Flim set up a microphone to record incriminating evidence while Flam and Fluttershy attempt to trick Gladmane with disguises. Unfortunately, the dark blue pony sees through the ruse and soon leaves. With that option failing, the orange pony and yellow pegasus confront Gladmane directly, somehow managing to get him to actually say incriminating words that get broadcasted across the resort, destroying his reputation.
With that issue finished, the employees reconciled and quit from their jobs, marking the end of Applejack and Fluttershy’s mission. As Gladmane is out of business, Flim and Flam take over the resort, much to the horror of the two ponies.
=====Every Little Thing She Does=====
After Starlight was tasked to deal with some friendship problems, she decides to them all at once and invite all members of the Mane Six except Twilight who was leaving with Spike to a school event. Applejack’s problem in particular is needing to make a scrapbook with the photos she brought. Later they all arrive at the castle where the heliotrope unicorn assigns them to do their tasks in certain places.
Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy with Applejack having a large number of photos to scrapbook and her friends having other requirements. Starlight ended up getting stressed out and in desperation, she decided to mind-control her friends with magic. The orange pony was put in the library when in her mind-controlled state, she ends up distracting the heliotrope unicorn until issues began to arise, her friends also making similar mistakes in their state of mind.
Twilight and Spike soon return and manage to clean up the mess before confronting Starlight and learning the truth about her problems. After learning about the heliotrope unicorn's issues, the two decide to send her to apologize to the rest of the Mane Six which they accept. Through the rest of the day, Starlight helps them out in their tasks including listening to Applejack’s stories while helping her make her scrapbook.
In the end, they all decide to chill and relax on the castle roof per Rainbow Dash's request. 
=====P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)=====
Twilight and Spike meet up with Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity who had been sent on a holiday at Seaward Shoals. The three ponies are in a disheveled state, having experienced some sort of unknown calamity which the purple alicorn asks them about, the baby dragon taking notes. Unfortunately, the three quickly got off and refused to join for a tea party, forcing Twilight and Spike to meet with them separately.
Meeting up with Rarity, she begins to explain the story from her point of view in which for some reason, Applejack was depicted as a stereotypical sailor. Once at sea, the orange pony ends up tossing a tray of food overboard, much to her companions' horror though Twilight notes that this seem out-of-character. Being an unreliable narrator, the white unicorn continues as Pinkie Pie raises a piñata while Applejack drives the ship into a storm.
Despite Rarity's begging, Applejack continues her course to the storm until a wave sweeps in and capsizes the ship. As expected, Twilight is skeptical of this story and is prompted to meet up with Pinkie Pie to make make sure it's accurate. Meeting up with her, she begins to explain the story from her point of view in which for completely legitimate reasons, Rarity was depicted as a glamorous sea captain with a large crew moving her luggage.
Once at sea, the pink pony's tray of candy was replaced with some fancy hors d'oeuvres before throwing it overboard, much to her companions' horror though Twilight notes that this seem out-of-character. Being an unreliable narrator, the pink pony continues and decides to raise a piñata in an attempt to lighten the mood though Rarity seemed unimpressed.
During their cruise, a storm ends up washing over them followed by a wave which capsizes the ship. As expected, Twilight is skeptical of this story and is prompted to meet up with Applejack to make make sure it's accurate. Meeting up with her, she begins to explain the story from her point of view in which for some reason, Pinkie Pie was depicted as maddened fool.
Once at sea, Applejack found herself annoyed by her friends who are enjoying their lunch instead of focusing on the adventure ahead. This continued to get worse as Pinkie Pie begins the usual set of games to unwind and Rarity accidentally uses the ship's only map as a tablecloth. As they fight over the map, the ship is hit by a wave, capsizing it.
Twilight was somehow able to piece together a concrete story despite how biased everyone's story is. She later invites the three ponies to the docks to explain what had happened. As it turns out, cucumbers had a habit of inviting the attention of a sea-monster which was the one responsible for capsizing the ship. Realizing what had happened and hearing the purple alicorn's explanation, the three ponies reconcile and decide to go on another boat-trip.
=====Where the Apple Lies=====
While dealing with a trade deal, Applejack noticed a discrepancy in the crate designs meant for different products. Asking Apple Bloom, she claims to have checked it though when her sister checks it, she finds that the order has been mixed up. As it turns out, the yellow filly had lied as she wanted to fix this issue later. Applejack explains that lying only causes issues and decides to explain her previous experiences.
Once done, Apple Bloom realized how dangerous lying can be and how Applejack turned out the way she did. 
=====To Where and Back Again=====
After suffering from anxiety from the upcoming Sunset festival, Starlight was soon comforted by the Mane Six with Twilight in particular asking Trixie to help her out. Despite this, the visit still goes wrong, forcing the two to go back to Ponyville where they find everyone acting strangely. They soon discover that Ponyville's denizens have been kidnapped and replaced with changelings, much to their horror.
After the ordeal Starlight, Trixie, Discord, and Thorax went through in the hive, they manage to eventually get to Queen Chrysalis. The heliotrope unicorn in particular managed to convince the good changeling to share his love, allowing him to become reformed and teach the others how to do so, allowing them to destroy the queen's throne.
This also frees the imprisoned denizens who are thankful of their new freedom.
====Season 7====
=====Celestial Advice=====
Applejack was present during the celebration party and helped out with it.
=====All Bottled Up=====
The Mane Six leave for Manehattan for vacation, leaving Starlight and Trixie in charge of running the castle. One of the activities they engaged in was an escape room which they try to break out at record time. They were just 2 seconds off... Some time later they return back to the castle, inviting Starlight and Trixie for a spa break, prompting the former to quickly erase the memories of everyone in the place in order to cover up the problems they just went through.
=====Fluttershy Leans In=====
The rest of the Mane Six listen in on Fluttershy's ambition to build an animal sanctuary. They agree and attempt to support her with Applejack in particular recommending an enclosure professional under the name of Wrangler.
=====Honest Apple=====
While setting up some flyers, Rarity revealed that she had invited Applejack to be a fashion show judge which the orange pony questions. The white unicorn explains that she needs Applejack’s honesty and practicality as it brings something new to the table. After talking to her family, the orange pony gains the resolve she needs to take the invitation. Arriving at Rarity’s shop, Applejack gets to meet with her fellow judges, demonstrating her judgement to them.
Later the contestants arrive and while the other judges are rather fond of their designs, Applejack is more critical of them. Everyone else begins to realize the issue and despite Rarity’s attempts at defending her friend, she continues to wear them down throughout the day. As a result, the day is cut short and while Applejack is pleased with the results, her friend begins to worry.
The next day, improvements are being done to some designs with the advice from the judges. During a moment of frustration, Applejack blurts out that she finds fashion to be ridiculous, earning the displeasure of everyone else, further worsened by the fact that she was being completely honest about it. Finally having enough, Rarity dragged her friend along, finding a pony who genuinely despises the existence of apples, much to her dismay.
Returning to the shop, Applejack apologizes to the judges and contestants for her harmful opinion. She ends up helping them out with setting up the show they’ve been planning, earning Rarity’s gratitude. Later during the fashion show, the orange pony finds herself unable to choose and simply votes all 3 contestants, causing a 3-way tie. Once the show is done, new designs are being put up and when encountering a particularly bad one, the white unicorn decides it’s alright to criticize this particular one.
=====Not Asking for Trouble=====
The Mane Six were the first to be notified by Pinkie Pie of her new role as an ambassador for the yaks as well as her invitation to their Yickslurbertfest celebration. Unfortunately, disaster struck and due to their culture, the yaks refuse to consensually request for help and proceed to kick her out for offering it. She later returns to the castle where she figures out the loophole, they just have to help the yaks without their consent.
Soon they got to work, clearing away the horrid disaster and fixing up the village while the yaks sleep. They wake up to find the village in pristine condition though Prince Rutherford later notices the ponies leaving. He thanks them for respecting their tradition and regains his respect for Pinkie Pie, finally giving her the role of an honorary yak.
=====The Perfect Pear=====
Returning from the marketplace with free pear jam from Grand Pear, Apple Bloom soon discovers that her siblings are horrified at such a sight as they quickly bury the jam under the floorboards. Applejack explains that there’s some form of feud between the Apple and Pear family that she’s unsure of the cause, prompting them to try and investigate.
The siblings later arrived at Goldie Delicious’ cabin and while she’s nervous of telling this story due to Granny Smith’s displeasure towards the Pear Family. Still, she told the story of their parents named Pear Butter and Bright Mac, revealing that their mother is a Pear. Unable to remember anything else, Goldie leads them to a friend of their father for another perspective.
In this story, it explained the first interaction between Bright Mac and Grand Pear which also reveals where Applejack got her honesty. The siblings are then led to Mrs. Cake, a friend of their mother. From her perspective, they learn that Pear Butter was the one responsible for the blue pony’s cutie mark, revealing where Apple Bloom got her calling. She also explains the secret dates their parents go on which she got to witness, which is also ruined by Granny Smith.
A conflict soon arose in the romantic story in the form of Grand Pear’s plans on moving to another region. Unfortunately, this is when Mrs. Cake is unable to continue though she does lead them to Mayor Mare who was responsible for the secret wedding Bright Mac and Pear Butter planned. During that time, Granny Smith and Grand conveniently arrived to express their displeasure.
Pear Butter ended up staying with the Apple Family, resulting in her father leaving her behind. Now knowing what had happened, the siblings decided to confront Grand Pear on this. He reveals that he had returned to make amends with his grandchildren and they later bring him to Sweet Apple Acres. His interaction with Granny Smith was tense but the two end up apologizing for both their mistakes.
In the end, the family arrived at the place where Bright Mac and Pear Butter planted two seeds which had grown into an interwoven tree of apples and pears, symbolizing their union which had lasted until now. 
=====Fame and Misfortune=====
Checking on the friendship journal, the Mane Six realizes that it is in poor condition, prompting Starlight to make good quality copies which she plans on selling to the public. As expected, this backfires with too many ponies flocking to Sweet Apple Acres, the Apple Family being unable to serve all of them and forcing them to flee.
This continues to get worse as ponies began to gather outside the castle, having arguments about the tales happening in the journal, seemingly forgetting that in-universe, these are actual real life figures. The Mane Six's attempts to calm down the crowd are ignored. In the end, they learn that at least a few ponies learned something from this endeavor and they plan on simply waiting out the fad.
=====Campfire Tales=====
The Cutie Mark Crusaders and their sisters find themselves in another camping trip... which is quickly ruined by a swarm of bugs, forcing them to take refuge in a cave. Needing to wait them out, the three ponies decided to tell some campfire tales with Applejack telling the story of Rockhoof with the moral being to never give up on a good cause.
They eventually come across a stream that leads to Winsome Falls and while they are unable to go camping, they did found great enjoyment from the tales they listened to.
=====It Isn't the Mane Thing About You=====
After failing to regrow her mane with magic, Rarity decides to ask for some help from her other friends with Applejack in particular giving her a regular wig. None of the options work out, causing despair for the white unicorn. Her friends thankfully come over to cheer her up, inspiring her to make the most out of this situation and create a new and fabulous hairstyle out of the remains of her mane.
After getting the situation resolved, Rarity managed to get her old mane back though she later realized that she was also on the cover of the magazine she had cancelled her photoshoot schedule with. Her friends had convinced the photographer to take pictures of her new style, allowing her to get what she had been planning for all along.
=====Secrets and Pies=====
After angering Pinkie Pie by avoiding all of her pies, Rainbow Dash meets up with Applejack and Twilight to explain her side of the story and the guilt she has for her actions. The two point out that the pink pony may already feel hurt, leading to the blue pegasus considering a way to apologize to her friend.
=====Shadow Play=====
After an extensive investigation, the rest of the Mane Six are called in to free the Pillars of Equestria which they can do with some artifacts relating to its members. Applejack in particular is sent to retrieve Rockhoof’s shovel at his old home. She along with her friends later arrive and use the artifacts to activate a spell, releasing the pillars from their prison... as well as the one they had imprisoned, The Pony of Shadows.
Upon escaping, the Pony of Shadows quickly destroys the place before being blasted with magic and forced to retreat. The pillars decide to ally themselves with the Mane Six in order to try and figure out how to deal with the issue. Unfortunately, the current plan by Star-Swirl involves sacrificing the Elements of Harmony which Twilight is beginning to consider.
With some effort and deduction, the Cutie Map points to a location where the Pony of Shadows is currently in. Star-Swirl continues to be adamant in his plans despite input from others, prompting Starlight to ask for context on the situation. After listening to the backstory of the Pony of Shadows, the heliotrope unicorn became interested in whether or not a peaceful solution is possible though the bearded unicorn continued to be adamant on his views.
Later the group extract the Elements of Harmony before arriving at the location the Pony of Shadows was at. Upon arriving, they are soon dragged into the Well of Shade where they face off against the dark entity. The spell was soon cast, opening a portal to limbo in order to banish their opponent. Twilight soon noticed the Pony of Shadows' true form sticking out, that being a pony named Stygian, and quickly flies in to try and learn more.
After learning about the situation from his point of view, the rest of the ponies soon realized how wrong they were and focused their attempts to instead banish the darkness he was tied to. Their efforts were successful in freeing Stygian with the added benefit of the Elements of Harmony remaining intact due to not being used for banishment.
====My Little Pony: The Movie====
While Twilight and Spike were dealing with the princesses, their friends were helping out with the preparations for the Friendship Festival with Applejack in particular handing out cider to the eventgoers. The purple alicorn later meets up with her friends to explain the problems she just went through with the princesses. Her friends quickly encouraged her with a song though moments after they finish, they are attacked by an army belonging to a so-called Storm King.
Leading the charge was a unicorn with a broken horn named Tempest Shadow and her hedgehog minion Grubber, the former managing to defeat all the princesses with a petrifying smoke bomb, save Twilight who managed to flee with the help of her friends. They all later fell into a river and swept out of Equestria where they try to find the so-called queen of the hippo.
They start out at a shady place known as Klugetown where the denizens attempt to enslave the ponies though they were saved from this predicament by an abyssinian named Capper. He later brings them to his house with plans to sell them to his boss though upon receiving some help from Rarity, he realizes his mistake. Twilight also learns that they are looking for hippogriffs, half-pony half-bird creatures living at a mountain.
Later Capper's boss and Tempest's army arrive at the town though they end up at odds with each other, allowing the Mane Six to escape onto the airship. Unfortunately, said airships are manned by a crew anthropomorphic parrots working for the Storm King. They were almost thrown overboard though lunch time strikes and the ponies are invited to eat with the parrots.
Rainbow Dash managed to convince them to return to their Sky Pirate roots which they agree to though when she performs a sonic rainboom, Tempest quickly realized their location. The Mane Six hid from their pursuers and managed to flee on a makeshift air balloon. Arriving at the mountain however, they find the hippogriff kingdom in ruin. Going back down, they notice a creature in a pond and attempt to pursue it, almost drowning in the process though they were soon rescued by the creature, a seapony by the name of Princess Skystar.
They were soon lead to the leader of the civilization, Queen Novo. After some discussions and explanations, the Mane Six were turned into seaponies using a magic pearl which the queen refuses to relinquish. Later down the line, Pinkie Pie decides to start a party with the seaponies though it was cut short when Twilight is caught attempting to steal the magic pearl, getting her and her friends banished from the kingdom.
Upon arriving back at shore, Twilight's friends confront her for her actions and after a heated exchange, they end up abandoning her. They did feel remorse afterward though Spike soon arrives to warn them that the purple alicorn had been caught by Tempest. As they try to figure out what to do, Capper arrives alongside the parrot pirates and their leader, Captain Celaeno. Princess Skystar also joins in, now a hippogriff.
Capper later arrives at Canterlot posing as a pastry chef with a big cake for congratulations, as well as the ponies. However, it was all a ruse and soon the rest of the crew broke free and attacked the Storm King's army, much to his dismay. He attempts to strike them with a storm though they manage to reach the castle using Pinkie Pie's party cannon. After a reunion with Twilight, they quickly rush to grab the warlord's staff, only for him and the purple alicorn to be sucked into the storm.
Before they could grief, Twilight descends with the staff safely... and so did Storm King. Before he could throw a petrifying bomb, Tempest stops him, causing them both to be petrified and fall off. The purple alicorn quickly saves the unicorn amputee, the warlord falling off and shattering as he has nobody else to save him. With that issue done, the Mane Six use the staff to reverse the petrification on everyone.
In the end, the ponies celebrate the Friendship Festival they've been planning while also celebrating their victory. Tempest and the new additions are also welcomed to the party which ends with Princess Celestia raising the sun.
====Season 8====
=====School Daze=====
With the cleanup finished and Tempest sent to another mission, the Mane Six decide to incorporate the locations they've travelled to into the map for bigger reach. In an attempt to spread the idea of friendship far and wide, Twilight decides to open a friendship school. After some consultations with Princess Celestia and the Equestria Education Association (EEA), she manages to open said school with her friends as employees.
Soon students were brought in with some of them not being ponies. At first the education seemed fun though sticking to the EEA guidelines ruins everything. A particular group of non-pony students called the Young Six decide to ditch class. Despite this, the school continues their Friends and Family Day celebration with the EEA member Chancellor Neighsay. Unfortunately, this celebration was ruined by the Young Six coming back with the Ocellus currently in a monstrous form.
To make things worse, Chancellor Neighsay is a bigot and is displeased with the existence of non-ponies in an Equestria School, prompting him to shut down the school and cause the ire of the other kingdoms from this action.
Twilight's friends decide to visit her after the horrendous event, finding her extremely distraught from the event. Starlight later visits and encourages her to fight back against this problem which is enough to restore the purple alicorn's resolve. She later meets up with her friends and plans on re-opening the school, this time with her rules as the Princess of Friendship.
They later visit the other kingdoms to ask for their students back though unfortunately, they are now gone which results in a threat of war. During their search, they find the pony member of the Young Six, Sandbar buying a large quantity of items including apples from Applejack, prompting the Mane Six to follow him. They find the Young Six attacked by nearby wildlife which they dispatch, earning the respect of the students who later agree to go back to school as long as EEA standards aren't used.
After the kingdom leaders calm down from the return of the students, the School of Friendship is reopened, leading to Chancellor Neighsay coming over and seeing what had happened. Despite arguments from everyone else, the EEA member still believes that this school shouldn't exist though he is no longer allowed to shut it down. In the end, the school functions exactly as it should, to teach the lessons of friendship to anyone willing to attend it.
=====Fake It 'Til You Make It=====
After being alienated by Fluttershy's rude personas, the raccoon employees bring in the rest of the Mane Six minus Rarity to confront the yellow pegasus. Unfortunately, she still continues her act, even going as far as to kick out her friends who later bring in Rarity to deal with the situation. She handles the situation much better and manages to snap Fluttershy out of it.
=====Grannies Gone Wild=====
In an attempt to get some time to ride a particularly awesome rollercoaster which is closing soon, Rainbow Dash asked Applejack to cover for her which the orange pony agrees to under one condition, that the blue pegasus looks after a group of elderly ponies, much to her dismay. Once the elderly have boarded the air balloon, Applejack gives Rainbow Dash a series of instructions which increases the burden she's dealing with.
Unbeknownst to her, the whole group proceeded to disregard these instructions behind her back due to how limiting they were. Applejack remains unaware of this even at the end of the episode. 
=====Horse Play=====
The rest of the Mane Six were busy preparing a play when Twilight arrived to tell them about the news of Princess Celestia joining in on the play. Later the sun alicorn does arrive though soon everyone finds her to be terrible at this. However, the purple alicorn refuses to let her know.
The conditions continue to get worse until finally, an incident involving an unhealthy amount of fireworks finally sends Twilight over the edge, causing her to rant in front of everyone about everything that has gone wrong, including about Princess Celestia, which she overhears.
Later after a conversation with her, the two come up with a plan to save the play. Applejack alongside Pinkie Pie and Rarity was tasked with calming down the crowd. Princess Celestia simply helps off-stage and with props, bringing up the sun itself for a show. In the end, it all goes well.
=====Non-Compete Clause=====
With Fluttershy winning "Most Popular Teacher" again, Applejack and Rainbow Dash decided to try and impress their students in hopes of getting that award. Conveniently, Twilight is organizing a teamwork field trip, prompting the two ponies to volunteer in hopes of earning an award. Knowing their past, the purple alicorn requests that the two try to get along without turning this into a competition...
So of course they naturally ignore that and make this event a competition. It all began with a disagreement on the order of events just as Twilight left the two. Applejack first chooses the shed-building activity though her slow and safe methods leads to disagreements with Rainbow Dash which is followed by a more intense argument between them, much to their students' discomfort.
Rainbow Dash later chooses the river canoe activity and while the students are cooperating nicely, their teachers are arguing to the point that they end up crashing the canoe. After the group have recovered, Twilight arrives to check up on them. Finding the horrid state the class is in, the purple alicorn chastises her friends for ignoring her advice before taking over the field trip.
Applejack and Rainbow Dash pretend to apologize before asking Twilight for a second chance which she begrudgingly agrees though this time, she's the one choosing the activity which in this case, is a nature walk. The two ponies lead their class while arguing about directions which ends up causing them to get lost. Gallus decided to try and fly up and observe the location, finding that the school is just past a ravine.
Needing a way to get past, Applejack and Rainbow Dash attempt to create a bridge with the former using vines for it. As expected, it ends up failing with the broken bridge trapping the two ponies near the ravine's river where hostile fish are jumping about. The two decide to apologize to each other as their students save them from the situation.
In the end, the group arrive at the castle where Twilight decided to review their progress. Oddly enough, the students commend their teachers for teaching what not to do in certain situations before voting for both of them for the "Most Popular Teacher" award. As they leave, the purple alicorn confronts her friends for still being too competitive and while they agree, they still continue to argue, much to Twilight's dismay.
=====Marks for Efforts=====
The Cutie Mark Crusaders watch the fun classes unfold in the School of Friendship with Applejack in particular teaching buckball to the students. Finding their regular classes boring, the fillies attempt a variety of ways to get themselves applied with Apple Bloom in particular ignoring her chores, much to her sister’s dismay. 
=====The Mean 6=====
The Mane Six and Starlight receive a photography session from a disguised Queen Chrysalis who was also plucking strands of their hair for later use. Once done, they leave the "photographer" to go on a camping trip, unaware of the evil plot planned against them. The queen had created evil clones based on the Mane Six which she later unleashes on the originals.
After noticing Fluttershy's disappearance, the Mane Six agree to split up and find them with Applejack and Rainbow Dash encountering evil Rarity who tries to hoard all of the former’s equipment before running away. Further discourse continues to spread as the Mane Six interact with their evil counterparts until eventually, they come across each other again and just decide to laugh off this incident.
As they try to fix up the camp, they are left unaware of Queen Chrysalis' failed plot, ending in the Mean Six getting turned back into logs.
=====Yakity-Sax=====
After reaping chaos all over Ponyville with her horrible "yovidaphone", Pinkie Pie finds herself confronted by her friends about this, prompting her to discard the instrument, much to her displeasure. Some time later, they find her in a joyless state and all attempts to cheer her up fail with Applejack in particular setting up a party involving party cannons. After a so-called "Pinkie Pie Appreciation Day", they find that she had moved away to Yakyakistan to listen to some actually good yovidaphone players.
Travelling to the region, they find Pinkie Pie drowning her sorrows in a bar with a yak musician playing the yovidaphone competently. She agreed to go home though her mood was still sour as she now knows what she could have been doing with the instrument. Her friends soon realized that she simply enjoys playing the instrument, even if she's bad at it and decides to encourage her. This action works, causing her color and cheerful personality to return.
Little did they knew what they have unleashed upon the world...
=====A Rockhoof and a Hard Place=====
With Rockhoof beginning his work as a teacher, Applejack and Twilight decided to check up on him, finding him wrecking the classroom while telling a story. Bringing him out, the two explain to the viking that times have changed and property destruction is now frowned upon.
Just then he noticed a fire, prompting him to break a fountain and redirect it at the fire, revealing that it was just Smolder and Spike having a fire-breathing contest. Realizing the destruction he’s caused, the viking left in shame and resigns from his job to try and find a new one.
During those efforts, Applejack and Twilight decided to help out without much success, prompting the group to check out how the rest of the pillars are doing. Dishearteningly, his friends seem to be adapting just fine to the modern world. For one last attempt at trying to fit in, he decided to get a job as a navigator. Unfortunately due to him using stars to position the boat, he ends up leading the wrong way.
As it turns out, Rockhoof has been gone for so long that the North star has been replaced and with that, he loses yet another job. This entire experience has been extremely disheartening for the viking and he almost loses the will to go on. Thankfully the Young Six were able to snap him out of it and allow him to discover an occupation that works for him, as a keeper of tales. 
=====Sounds of Silence=====
Applejack and Fluttershy find themselves summoned by the Cutie Map to the kingdom of the Kirin which also contain the horrifying fire creatures known as Nirik. In their journey, the orange pony attempts to get there as fast as possible which is an issue as the yellow pegasus keeps stopping every once in a while to talk to animals. Thankfully, she got instructions on a shortcut from the animals, allowing them to reach the Kirin village.
Unfortunately, the Kirin are mute and only respond to yes/no questions, frustrating the two ponies with Applejack choosing to find some evidence elsewhere. During that time, she meets a talkative Kirin by the name of Autumn Blaze who gladly invites her to her home to chat. This is also where she learns about the issues the Kirin are facing in which they turn into Nirik upon getting angry.
With this information, Applejack confronts Fluttershy on this, wanting to free the kirin from their silence which her friend disagrees with, much to her frustration. Their argument attracts the attention of the Kirin who are afraid of arguments and quickly captures them in order to throw them into the Stream of Silence to, well... silence them.
Before that can happen, Autumn Blaze comes in to save them, in the form of a Nirik. She had done this by simply controlling her anger which she suggests to be a better alternative than just removing her voice. This was convincing enough and later Fluttershy is told by a squirrel about the location of the cure.
In the end, they mix the cure in the drinking water, allowing for the Kirin to speak once again.
=====Father Knows Beast=====
The Mane Six decide to nurse Sludge back to full health which will be detrimental later down the line.
=====School Raze=====
After the ponies at school realize the disappearance of magic, Cozy Glow proceeds to remind everyone of Tirek who is currently still imprisoned. The Mane Six are later called in to Canterlot for a meeting, leaving Starlight to run the school.
In order to investigate the occurrence, the Mane Six and Spike travel to Tartarus, braving the many threats in the way without their magic. Upon arriving, they find the seal on the prison still intact yet they still go in anyway, meeting up with many depowered monsters. The Mane Six find Tirek still in his cage though he is willing to explain his accomplice, that being Cozy Glow.
Realizing the ruse, the Mane Six try to find a way to get out of the prison through the use of the imprisoned monsters. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity in particular were tasked with tiring the Cerberus until it is incapacitated in order to acquire its magic.
In the end, they manage to escape and later confront Cozy Glow after her plans were foiled by the Young Six.
====Season 9====
=====The Beginning of the End=====
The Mane Six and Spike rush to Canterlot, only to find that they aren't summoned for an emergency but for an announcement. Princess Celestia and Luna are planning on retiring as well as transferring their powers to Twilight in just a few days, seemingly unaware of how anxious she can be. Her friends try their best to calm her down which works. Little did they know of the horrid scheme behind the scenes involving King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow who had gathered up and are preparing something though the former chooses to split and attack himself.
Later he managed to successfully take over Crystal Empire though the Mane Six later arrive and use the Elements of Harmony against him. With King Sombra dispatched, they return the elements, only to be attacked by him, the Tree of Harmony getting destroyed in the process. With that, the dark unicorn claims early victory and runs off to attack the Crystal Empire again.
Before going however, he decides to trap the Mane Six in a cage. Despite this horrid situation, Twilight remained determined and proceeds to dig a hole out of the cage, her friends joining in. Arriving at Ponyville, they find most of their friends and family under King Sombra's mind control while the Everfree Forest is invading. Luckily Star-Swirl arrives to help with the Everfree Forest problem, allowing the Mane Six to go to Canterlot, only to be overwhelmed and forced to retreat.
Meeting up with Discord, they manage to convince him to reluctantly help them with this problem. They later come back to Canterlot with the draconequus quickly fighting off King Sombra though he is later "defeated". Luckily, he got to tell the Mane Six that they have the power of the elements in them all along which was enough for them to activate its magic on their own, once again ending the dark unicorn and all the problems he has caused.
In the end, Twilight is allowed more time to prepare, revealing Discord's "defeat" to be a ruse all along. They are all unaware of the schemes behind the scenes with the remaining villains agreeing to actually work together.
=====Sparkle's Seven=====
The rest of the Mane Six were briefed by Twilight on their plans to test Shining Armor's security and allow her to win the temporary title of "Sibling Supreme". She gives each of them specific roles with Applejack’s being to break into the underground tunnels. However, Rarity points out that her plan may be too obvious and decides to brainstorm wacky and unexpected ideas with her friends with the orange pony being tasked with providing a distraction show.
Later Applejack sets up a stage at the courtyard and begins performing a country music number, earning the attention of many guards who are interested in this performance. Unfortunately, her friends weren’t having such a great time in their roles and the orange pony isn’t able to perform forever. Eventually she had to leave the place as her friends had failed with this plan.
Regrouping with the rest of the Mane Six after this failed operation, they finally decide to go with Twilight's original plan with some encouragement from Spike. Applejack later breaks through some of the underground tunnels and opens up another path. The group later manages to find the crown though unfortunately, Shining Armor had arrived there first, predicting their ruse.
However as it turns out, Spike had conspired with Princess Luna all along and explains how he was responsible for most of the events in episode. He manages to acquire the crown and in the end, is allowed the title of "Sibling Supreme".
=====She's All Yak=====
After being asked out by Sandbar for the Amity Ball, Yona requires help on pony customs which Rarity offers before she ends up calling her friends for help. Applejack and Pinkie Pie in particular agree to teach her how to cook some food for the potluck. The team's efforts seemed successful at first, the yak later arriving at the event all proper and pony-like... This later goes horribly wrong though it is resolved later.
=====Going to Seed=====
Due to a rare event causing all apples in the orchard to ripen at the same time, the Apple Family begins their preparations. They also invited Goldie Delicious for extra help which proves to be detrimental when she brings up the mythical creature named “The Great Seedling” which Applejack used to believe and Apple Bloom still believes. Despite the important event ahead of them, Granny Smith assures the orange pony that the others can handle it.
With a brand new event, the Apple Family awakens to begin their work though upon going to the orchard, they find an odd pattern made of apples on the ground. Applejack is sceptical at first, believing that Granny Smith or Goldie Delicious had set these up to further encourage her sister though they deny this. Realizing Apple Bloom isn’t going to give up, her sister promises to help her with some traps if she helps out with the day’s activities.
During the day, Applejack explains the reason why she no longer believes in the Great Seedling due to an embarrassing event in her past. Yet while helping Apple Bloom with trap setting, she starts to enjoy herself and the next day, more patterns appear and some of the traps have even been triggered. This was enough to convince the orange pony on the possibility of this mythical creature existing, much to Big Mac’s dismay as he has to cover up for his siblings.
While looking at some of the trees, the Apple Family finds a number of them picked clean which may be another sign of the Great Seedling. Applejack decided to set up a stake-out on one of the trees in case the creature comes for another tree. Soon some of the traps were sprung, its presence growing closer to the two ponies. However once it approached them, they soon realized that it’s just Big Mac sleepwalking all along.
Eventually, the Apple Family managed to finish up their cleanup though Apple Bloom is disappointed in being unable to catch the Great Seedling. Applejack reminds her that enjoying yourself with friends and family is something you cannot outgrow and there would likely be a next time. Conveniently while sending Goldie Delicious away, they find a pattern on the ground, this time made with carrots.
=====The Last Crusade=====
Applejack joins in alongside the rest of Ponyville's denizens in the Cutie Mark Crusaders' celebration.
=====Between Dark and Dawn=====
Encountering a giant tree-eating turtle in Sweet Apple Acres, the Mane Six attempt to deal with the creature, only for Princess Celestia and Luna to arrive and successfully deal with a threat for once... Took them 9 seasons to do so. With retirement on their way, they can finally go off and actually do things which includes helping others directly.
Luckily Pinkie Pie manages to convince them to go on a holiday with Twilight agreeing to take over the princess duties which includes a celebration for the swans called the "Royal Swanifying" as well as raising the sun and moon. The latter task is usually performed by a group of professionals though the purple alicorn refuses their help, much to her friends' dismay.
They soon realize how difficult the planning is with Twilight finally relenting. The professionals had been appointed their role as even the princesses are unable to perform some tasks all on their own, which includes this ceremony. In the end, they agree to help and successfully complete the ceremony with the purple alicorn learning how to run a kingdom... and then shortly after, she messes up the most important task of a princess.
=====The Last Laugh=====
The rest of the Mane Six were invited to hear out Pinkie Pie's invitation to Cheese Sandwich's Amusement Factory due to her feeling left out by her friends' achievements. After helping him regain his laughter, the pink pony returns to her friends, realizing that she already had what she wanted all along.
=====The Summer Sun Setback=====
Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek are finally getting the hang of working together and decide to try and find instructions on a magic bell they got... in Canterlot, at a restricted section in the library, during Summer Sun Celebration... They have a plan for that and the Mane Six along with Discord are still preparing the celebration. It is however the last Summer Sun Celebration and the pressure is up to make it special.
Applejack and Pinkie Pie meet up with Braeburn and his team to make some food orders. Tirek later arrives to ruin all that, draining their magic with effects similar to food poisoning. Once they regroup, the evil centaur steals the food while the ponies are too weak more for the party alongside other disasters caused by the other villains. Due to this destruction, the Mane Six desperately attempt to cover up this mess and keep Twilight from stressing out.
Eventually Twilight does figure out these issues though she is able to remain calm and with the help of Princess Celestia and Luna, they fix the issues with the celebration. It is also revealed that this is the last Summer Sun Celebration because they're planning on renaming it as the Festival of Two Sisters... It's been 9 seasons since Luna came back.
=====The Ending of the End/The Last Problem=====
The Mane Six arrive at Canterlot for Twilight's celebration to assume Princess Celestia and Luna's roles, unaware of the chaos Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek have brewed up as well as their new powers. Applejack in particular found herself observed closely by pegasi guards who refer to her as “earth pony” in a derogatory manner. Upon gathering up, they soon realized that this phenomenon is happening all over the city.
Discord later arrives with bad news, that he was the one responsible for the release of the villains and has been posing as Grogar all along as well as the fact that the villains have drained him of his powers. Twilight quickly rallies everyone she can think of in an attempt to fight off the invaders.
Cozy Glow in particular arrives to attack them, managing to dispatch Princess Celestia and Luna before struggling against the Mane Six. The other villains later arrive to help her out, managing to force them to send Twilight away in an attempt to find a way to deal with them.
Upon escaping, they find the pony races in an even more severe state of disharmony before eventually finding Twilight at the Crystal Empire in a state of panic. Her friends comfort her in this daunting moment, allowing her to regain enough resolve to come up with a plan to defeat the villains. They later arrive at an open plain, the Bewitching Bell in sight. While Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie provide a distraction, the rest of them go off to try and retrieve the bell.
After a long-winded battle, they are unfortunately defeated and soon the villains prepare one final attack to finish them off. Upon doing so however, a forcefield appears and shields them from the blast which none of the ponies were responsible for. Looking up at the hills above, they got to see who was responsible for this...
An army of creatures has arrived in their steed, the Young Six managing to convince them to cease their animosity and unite against this common threat. The Mane Six are taken to safety as the villains are assaulted from all sides until Twilight suddenly rises to confront them. With a heartfelt speech on the magic of friendship, she alongside her friends, the Young Six, and the Pillars of Equestria rise to the sky and blast the villains with a magic ray which strips them of their magic.
Discord quickly snatches the bell and recovers everyone's magic before deciding alongside the princesses to imprison the villains in stone. The Mane Six decide to recover from that journey with a trip to the donut shop while Canterlot is repaired, optimistic of the future that is to come.
Due to her rule, Twilight is moved over to Canterlot and forced to leave everything behind... including her friends. They were of very supportive at first and were quite busy with Applejack and Pinkie Pie in particular making preparations for the ceremony. The purple alicorn eventually breaks down from all the pressure, her friends finally revealing that they all felt the same way. She was glad of this development though the coronation event went horribly wrong with the orange pony finding out that her brother had messed up the food order.
Back at the present, Twilight's student Luster Dawn believes that this disaster is what drove her and her friends apart though that is not the case. The rest of the Mane Six soon arrive, having grown up or dealing with new jobs though they still gather up once a moon to keep in touch. As it turns out, the friends were not at all worried about the disaster and Starlight even gives the purple alicorn a book of memories in order to commemorate her times with her friends who were later hired to establish a Council of Friendship.
After a musical montage showing the future, Luster Dawn is sent to Ponyville as the Mane Six watch on, satisfied of this new era...
