Applejack and her siblings Big Macintosh and Apple Bloom were working in the field. It was getting close to Applebuck season and they had to get the field done before that day arrives. Big Mac turned to his sisters and explained his plan.
"Ok, Applejack, ya need to take care of the south part of the field, while me and Apple Bloom take care of the north part. We'll work towards each other so we can met up. The field is longer this year so it might take us all day." He said.
Applejack nodded and started walking down the field. Applejack soon finds the plow and straps it on. She stands pulling her way down. Applejack got about three steps before she heard something.
"Big Mac? Are you ok?"
It sounded like Apple Bloom.
"No, I'm not sure how much longer we can keep this secret."
That was Big Mac.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, it just well, one night Mom and Dad came home with her and mom was going to have you."
"What? You mean Applejack was adopted?"
Adopted?! Applejack was adopted?! She had a hard time believing this, but continued to listen.
"Well it's just weird, Mom and Dad just appeared home with Applejack and talked to Granny Smith about taking her in. It wasn't until after you were born that I discovered that Applejack was adopted. I talked to Granny Smith about it and she won't tell me anything. I've been trying the pass 10 years, but she still refuses to tell me anything."
Applejack couldn't believe it! She undid the plow and ran towards them. She stopped in front of them and demanded, "What do you mean I'm adopted?!"
Both Apples were shocked to see Applejack.
"Sis, how did you get from the end of the field so fast?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Don't change the subject!" Applejack yelled.
"But, Applejack, we've been at the end of the field for five minutes. And you where gone for ten at least." Big Mac said.
Now that Applejack thought about it, she was working for the past 15 minutes. It would take her good half an hour to reach halfway through the field. She looked back and saw that the plow was nowhere in sight.
"Did I really just move that fast?" She asked with widen eyes.
"Yeah, you where a blur! You might have been as fast as Rainbow Dash!" Apple Bloom told her.
"That can't be! I had to hear you two talk from halfway across the field! Me and Big Mac tested that!" Applejack said.
That was weird, not only did she hear them from the other end of the field, but she ran across it in seconds! She looked back at her siblings who just looked at her. If she was adopted, then who are her real parents?
Later that night,
Applejack and her siblings walked in after doing the whole field. Applejack's mind was on the adopted part that she heard from her brother and sister. Big Mac has tried to get Granny Smith to talk, but wasn't able to. Now she was going to talk to her.
"Granny Smith, can we talk?" She asked her grandmother.
"About what?" Granny Smith asked.
"Was I adopted?" She straight out asked.
Granny Smith looked away and Applejack could tell she was hiding something.
"Granny Smith, tell me the truth." She said.
"I can't, I promised your parents that I wouldn't tell." Granny Smith said.
"Granny, I need to know." Applejack said.
Granny turned away and started to walk away.
"Gosh darn it Granny, I NEED TO KNOW!" Applejack yelled and punch a wall.
To everypony's surprise, she knocked a chunk of the wall down. Apple Bloom and Big Mac were shocked to see the hole. Applejack pulled her hoof back and looked at the hole. Granny Smith sighed and placed an hoof on her shoulder.
"Come Applejack, there's something I want to show you.", She said then turned to the other two, "Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom, stay here."
Granny Smith led Applejack to an old barn and opened it to see the same ship that brought her here.
"Your parents found you in this. You were only a filly." Granny Smith said and handed her a small box.
"We could never figure out how to open it, maybe you have the magic touch." Granny Smith said.
Applejack took the box in her hooves and watched as it turned into an S and went towards her forehead. Applejack suddenly found herself in strange, yet familiar room. She turned and saw two earth ponies. Applejack couldn't help but to feel that she knew them.
"Who?" She asked.
"Hello App-le. It appears you have activated the translator that I have stored into your ship." The Stallion said.
"We wish we could see you grow up, but we were unable to leave." The Mare said.
"App-le? But my name is Applejack." Applejack said.
"We figured you might be going by another name, but your real name is up to you." The Stallion said.
"We are you parents. I'm Mor-al." The mare said.
"And I'm Lys-le. We, as well as you, was born on the planet known as Krypton." The Stallion added.
"Krypton?" Applejack asked.
"It was planet very much like the one you're on now." Lys-le said.
"Was?" Applejack asked again.
"Yes, by the time you have receive this, Krypton has be destroy, you are the only survivor." Lys-le explain.
Applejack was having a hard time handling this. Lys-le and Mor-al walked up to her and place a hoof on each of her shoulder. Applejack was surprised to feel them. She looked at them as tears started coming from her eyes.
"App-le, there's one more thing. Because you're a Kryptonian, you have the ability to absorb and store solar energy. Krypton orbited an ancient red giant, so the effect was minimal, but Equestria has a much younger sun, and it is home to two goddesses as a bonus. The amount of energy that is within you has given you powers beyond that of any normal pony: you can fly faster, lift more, see farther, and survive injuries that would kill a pony without taking a scratch. While you are not exactly a foal, you are not used to your powers and still need to learn how to control them." Lys-le told her.
"Wait, I can fly?" Applejack ask.
Both of her parents backed away and looked at her.
"When the time is right, the ponies of Equestria need someone closer to them, a pony who will inspire them and drive them towards reaching their full potential, and you will be that pony." Lys-le said.
"But..." Applejack started to say.
"But not as a conqueror, my daughter, but as a guide, a guardian. Allow your natural leadership to stir their higher instincts. You will give the ponies an idea to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders." Lys-le explained again.
"Our time is almost up, use your powers to help the ponies of the world you're in. Show them that you're here to help." Mor-al said as the place vanished and Applejack was back at the farm.
Applejack dropped the box and looked at Granny Smith standing there. Tears started coming and Applejack couldn't hold them back. She ran and hugged Granny Smith as she led them outside and back towards the house. They reached the door when Apple Bloom and Big Mac stepped out and saw Applejack crying.
"Sis, what's wrong?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Apple Bloom, Big Mac, you were right. I was adopted. I even found out who my parents were." Applejack answered.
"Really?! That's great! Where are they? Maybe we can meet them!" Apple Bloom shouted.
"We can't. They're...they're..." Applejack broke down.
Big Mac's eyes widened, he hadn't seen Applejack like this since their parents passed. Big Mac walked up and hugged her. Apple Bloom was quick to place together what was happening. She walked over and hugged Applejack as well.
I can't tell them. They might hate me. I can't tell my friends either. I need to leave Ponyville, find someplace to train my powers. Hopeful I will be able to tell them then. Applejack thought.
The next morning, Applejack packed up a few things and was going to head out. Her family and friends were waiting outside. Applejack first walked up to Apple Bloom to hug her good-bye.
"Hey, Applejack, Apple Bloom told us about you being adopted." Scootaloo said.
"Yeah, we're also sorry to hear about your real parents." Sweetie Belle said.
"Thanks, even if I didn't know them very well, at lest I know they cared for me." Applejack said.
She then walked over to Big Mac who hugged her and then Granny Smith who also hugged her. Applejack then walked over to her friends.
"So, Apple Bloom told you as well?" She asked.
"Well, we noticed how upset she was and asked her. She told us your where adopted. We had no clue." Twilight explained.
"I understand." Applejack said.
"Apple Bloom also told us that your real parent were..." Fluttershy started to say.
"It's ok, I just need some time out of Ponyville." Applejack said.
Someplace I need to discover and train my powers. She added in thought.
After saying farewells to her friends, Applejack headed off. She was ready find out what powers she has and hopeful find out how she can help Equestria.
Well that Applejack discovering her powers (Not all of them) and where she really from, next chapter Applejack will start her time as Super Mare. And yes, you can play the Superman theme in this story. Whichever one you want.
