So, this is AJ's time to shine 👌.

⬇️⚠️ACTUALLY NOT A LONG STORY SHORT. LONG DESCRIPTION WARNING!⚠️⬇️

1st Panel:

Everypony in the mane 6 has (or had ) their own personal goals. Twilight with fulfilling her duty into becoming the Queen of Friendship; Rarity opening up her own boutiques in different locations; RD finally becoming a Wonderbolt, and then on top of that a Captain; Fluttershy becoming a veterinarian and having her own animal sanctuary; And Pinkie, being one, if not the best party pony in the nation. But Applejack, even though she had the help from her friends, AJ personally wanted financial abundance. And thus, the Apple Farm started a business (in after season 9). However, this wasn't the first time the Apple Farm tried to get their name out. Before Twilight grouped the rest of the mane six together (and even a little bit after that), AJ, Big Mac and Apple Bloom were all on a journey to harvest, advertise, and sell their apples, anywhere at any time. Sure every time in Ponyville, they would sell out of apples in the Market because they were good, and cheap to buy. And sure they would make quite a lot of money from that, but only enough to pay off bills and loans. They even ran a carrot farm to gain extra money, but it still wasn't enough to restore their barn, equipment and other personal stuff. Not even the money they make occasionally from cider and zap apple products get them going. In season 1-3, this goal was a big deal for AJ. She honestly hoped that when she visited Canterlot (in s1, e26) that the pony folk there would be rich and polite enough to buy her stuff (but with extra expenses). But little did she know that they were some bougie folks. It felt like she was living in a dream at that point… BUT THAT STILL DIDN'T STOP HER!
(S 7-9) Eventually, with AJ being a part of the main saviors of Equestria, she was gladly able to get her name out a lot more. Sure it was still a bit hard to get UP there in marketing (because of people like Flim and Flam messing with folks, Filthy Rich messing with apple sales with his "Rich's Barnyard Bargains", and so many more companies), BUT, once she did (with the help of family and friends) the Sweet Apple Acres business blew UP! They were able to place shipments all across the borders and make products in abundance. AJ's family and the people of Ponyville (who are capable of working), help with produce and all. Cherry Jubilee and AJ's nemeses, Filthy Rich and Flim and Flam (surprisingly) helped AJ and Co. establish and form Apple factories in or nearby Ponyville (then eventually, industries all over Equestria). AJ, looking back at her past as thrilled at where she's at now. You'd thought that she would be content, but, instead money has taken over her (yet not to a Filthy Rich extent). She wanted this life, and wants to keep it. She wanted to get a bit bigger and better, and be number 1. Apparently being in the top 5 of Agricultural Industries of Equestria (AIE) wasn't enough for her. But there's always a roadblock isn't there…the brand that has been around almost longer than Ponyville itself… the Sugarcane Industry.

2nd Panel

Ah, yes, AJ sparring with the Sugarcane Industry, an industry that no other agricultural industry would "spar" with (but this is AJ we're talking about). She will go all out if she could.
When her family and she first attended the AIE of the season awards, AJ was determined to find the main pony, if not the co-leader or head associate behind the Sugarcane Industry, especially in her region. Who would've known that it was a stallion named Salty Caramel Sugarcube XII. AJ has seen this fine fellow snooping around her farm from time to time before she blew up. He was more than likely there for the zap apples and cider (however who's to stay the he wasn't just being skeptical about Sweet Apple Acres, and saw potential and maybe a future competitor…. And guess what, he was right). AJ trotted her tail over to him with a big ole sneer on her face and said, "I don't know who y'all think y'all are with yer sugar and whatnot. But y'all cavity toothed folk ain't about to surpass me".
Caramel smirks and scoffs, "Well, I'll be damned Miss Apple".
AJ raises an eyebrow and smirks back, "Yer one of them fun ones aren't chya?".
Caramel cocks his head to the side and grins, revealing his gold tooth, "You wanna find out, Suga?". (We all know that Caramel was slightly intimidated about how big she was).

And that's when it clicked in Applejack that Caramel was indeed about to be lovely jackass. She's found somepony just like her, thick-neck and too competitive to feel the slightest doubt of losing. Somepony so determined and blind by their own rightful accomplishments, thinking that they're better than anybody else. As much as she already hates him for being ahead, she does love his attitude. It reminds her of a time when she and RD used to hang out and date… but RD is busy doing her own thing.
At every awards meeting they went to, AJ and Caramel would smack talk each other to death. After a year or two of this riviary flirting, they wanted to take things slightly further and hang out a bit at the local pub after the occasion. Besides more smack talking, they would actually converse about their daily life and personal things and joke about it. They were forming a friendly competitive bond with each other. A bond that felt almost nostalgic towards Applejack. She grew to love this relationship that she was forming with this douche. She felt like a part of her that was missing came back to make her whole again. Though still in competition, both ponies had fallen in love with each other, yet mildly hated that fact. They would tease and roughly kiss each other now and again, and Caramel would occasionally take her to a square dance. They would send letters when they wanted to, but not visit each other's homes (because their families don't want their rivals at their homes). So, their relationship was secretive, and not known by her family and close friends. They really had a thing going for them.
Therefore, it wasn't too soon that one fateful night… they made out, drunk they were, and didn't know they did until they saw each other laying in the same bed (in their last position mind you 😳). Before they departed that laggard morning, AJ sweetly asked him if they could become a thing, for good. Caramel said he'll think about it and left it at that. AJ hoped that his remark was a yes but she'll have to wait and find out. And how it is in bare pony town, AJ became pregnant. She found out when her friends (especially RD, Pinkie and Twilight) noticed her mood change and her tiny belly bump, but AJ never told them who impregnated her. Over time she began to clearly notice it too, and didn't know what to do…. She was able to make it to the next AIE meeting, but this time she wasn't worried about the competition not one bit. She was worried about what Caramel might say or think regarding the situation. She was scared to say anything before the occasion, so she waited after. But once it was over Caramel was confused as to why she didn't greet him earlier, and then noticed her weight. At that moment, they both were in a DEEP cold sweat. AJ asked him again, if he wanted to be with her and make things official. And Caramel became paranoid and thought that she was trying to get under his skin so he could give in and let her take over and or ruin his family industry… he claimed when he saw her at first sight, he saw a fire in her eyes that wanted power, and that it's still burning. But it wasn't true. AJ really wanted a family with him. They could've combined their industries, but no. AJ didn't want this to happen, she didn't want to see this coming, I guess she shouldn't have kept her hopes up. And thus, the two broke up from any relationships that they had…..

3rd Panel

Actually, AJ has been keeping in contact with "one" friend… and that was Rara. (NOTE: In my Headcanon, Rara is trans, from a girl into a boy, and a pop rock star in a traveling band. He goes by the name of Count Contralto). Rara came in late that night to Ponyville because he's trip was delayed a bit. It was so late that he figured it would be rude to barge into AJ's home like that. So like any other rad stallion, such as him he headed on over to the Ponyville pub to get sauced a bit to relax from a long day of traveling and head on over to the inn. However somepony caught his eye…. This pony was somepony he wanted to see, but not here. It was Applejack, with her head rested on a table in the back. She looked a mess as her face drooped and her hair was down and so unkempt. An empty cider mug laid on the table with cider foam spilled from it. AJ appeared to have dozed off. Rara walked to the catnapping pony, and sat at the table in front of her. By the subtleties of the sounds and movements, AJ tiredly woke up. "Concerning to see you hear sweetheart," Rara purred.
"R-Rara?," AJ moaned, and blinked rapidly to adjust her eyes. "I-It's you?!".
"Yes, it's me," Rara tittered, "Tell me all about it hon". And AJ soberly did.

Of course AJ couldn't 100% keep her and Caramel's relationship a secret. She needed somepony there to back her up, to keep her safe, who would understand, to talk to. With Rara being the most reliable pony in her personal opinion, she only felt comfortable with conversing with him. She just needed somepony who wasn't going to question her or judge her, and just to keep her comfort. And that's exactly what Rara accomplished for her in this stressful time. Now, with the help of Rara, AJ did come forth honestly to her family and friends. Now of course Big Mac got upset, but not at her but at Caramel (now you know what over protective brothers will do with any one that makes their sister sad… they'll execute them of course). Anyways, they all helped her through her pregnancy, had a baby shower and all. Traditionally, she gave birth to her foal in the barn. The foal was a baby colt, and she named him Golden Russet. Rara vowed to stay and help AJ take care of Goldie, as her friend was more important. (I mean shoot, if Rara retires, AJ will help with money. The Apple family at this point are RICH, it's almost filthy XD).

To be continued…

Gosh, if you read all that…. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, GOODNESS ME! I hope y'all are doing well, and again thank y'all so much for the support!!! Just know that each and every one of y'all are AMAZING!!! ÓwÒ
