^ Well, AJ seems to be in her early 20s, and Applebloom is in her kid years, probably a little younger than 10, so AJ was probably old enough for the death of her parents to affect her quite some. Then again, in the flashback in Cutie Mark Chronicles, AJ was seen leaving for Manehatten looking very young and even then her parents were nowehere to be seen; there was only Mac and Smith. Maybe AJ's younger than we think, AB's somehow older, or AB is adopted (Which I highly doubt).

And trust me, after realizing what those shooting stars meant, this episode got a whole sadder for me. I still love it, and its my favorite in the show actually, but those shooting stars strike me much harder than they need to. Maybe it's because I like AJ a ton....
