Author's Note: Sorry for the long time, I've been working on the first episode of the Coltland Chronicles audio drama and Cookie and Derpy's Sweet Adventure.
Feeling Blue
The best friends woke up the next morning, not so well rested, Golden Heart and Gold Star were still not happy with each other. When role call had come, the two stared at each other with side glances and frowns. Not once did the two speak a word to each other, despite all of their friends trying to convince them to apologize to each other.
"Just go and apologize and make up with her. You can't be mad at each other forever." Candy said as she put her hoof on Gold Star's shoulder.
"Don't be like my parents when they argue. They always say that they need time apart and never talk to each other for a few days. I'm always afraid that they would divorce and I'll have a hard time choosing who to live with," Cookie responded with sadness and fright. "But they've been in love since they were foals and I'l be the only one here with divorced parents. I'll then have to leave the group and find other friends who would have the same thing as me."
"What do they argue about anyway?" Gold Star asked with a slight frown.
"It's always something stupid like a cake doesn't look good, wanting another foal, which would be nice. The main one is that my dad suspects that Mum might be seeing another stallion."
"That can't be happening. Sure my parents fight but they always make up very quickly. My dad isn't jealous like your dad or Jacinto," Topaz replied with a calm voice and he wrapped his foreleg around Cookie. "My parents have also loved each other since they were foals and have been best friends with your parents for years."
"Still that doesn't help me want to go up and apologize to Golden Heart. I'm still very angry and I do have regret for my actions. The first thing I do blame the pony that's being doing the plans and that would be Golden Heart." Gold Star responded with a choked voice and it sounded like she was going to start crying.
"I know these plans haven't exactly worked and we were betrayed by two little fillies who are daughters of royalty. You at times, just can't royal ones as they can be snobs and stuck up." Floss said with a small smile until she heard somepony clear their throat.
She turned to see Golden Heart standing near her and she stared her best friend down.
"So you think ponies of royalty are snobs and stuck up, do you? Have you forgotten that I'm the daughter of a princess and prince, the granddaughter of the Queen of Coltand and the once princess called Elena?" Golden Heart said with anger boiling in her and her grey eyes looked like they were going to turn into flames.
"Except the only non royal member of your family is your grandfather Duncan, who is a leader of guards." Gold Star said under her breath and Cookie hit her on the back of the head. She signalled with a side motion of her eyes and her head to Golden Heart.
"Seriously, is that another reason you hate me, Gold Star? You're jealous because I'm mostly of royal blood and you're not? Your Grandmother Colette is an alicorn and she's not royalty at all but she gets to be immortal until somepony kills her!"
"Can you two just try and make up? This fighting will traumatize me for the rest of my life and I won't be pieced altogether if any of my friends have fallen out because of stupid reasons like plan failures!" Cookie said with anger and she stomped off to their room.
"Cookie, wait!" Topaz, Candy and Floss called out and they galloped after their friend.
"Look, just leave me alone!" Gold Star screamed and she walked off as well as she tried not to scream under her breath.
Silver Star and Golden Heart stared back at her with frowns and Silver Star sighed with sadness.
"I've never seen my sister like this. Not even when somepony would make fun of us or just her."
Golden Heart also gave a sigh and she opened her mouth to sing:
"There was a day when we were friends
When we didn't fight
And we were friendly
There was a day when we were close
And our friendship was bright
And we were always playing
There was a day
Then it all crumbled"
As Gold Star sat down at the back of where they all slept, sighing with sadness, having tears filling up in her eyes and she also sang in a quiet voice so nopony could hear her:
"I dreamed a day that we're fine
When we had hope
And it was worth it
I dreamed that we weren't broken
I dreamed that I wished I was forgiving"
Cookie looked out the window and stared at the sky with hope and sadness in her eyes. Candy, Floss and Topaz sat on the bed and looked at her with the same experience she had. She then opened her mouth to sing:
"I was always so afraid
My friends were made, happily and friendly
There were no problems to happen
No fighting there
No pushing either"
Silver Star sat beside Golden Heart on the ground, the clouds gathered it started to rain. Silver Star opened her mouth to sing:
"But the feelings rush through me
Making me sad and wanting to cry
As they started to tear my heart inside
As they turn my hope to none"
Golden Heart started to sing again:
"We would stay together always
Our hopes were always hopeful
Now that's gone from my heart
There's no hope for any of us"
Gold Star stared up at the grey sky as the raindrops fell onto her face and mane but she sung louder and with more passion:
"I still dream we'll be free
We'll live our years with family
But my hopes are no longer there
And there are paths we can't choose"
Cookie decided to sit down on the ground and she looked down at the ground. Topaz, Candy and Floss walked up to her and put their hooves on her back:
"I hope that we would be
Happy so we can work together
Now it's different from what I see
Now... hope, has flown away from here."
Gold Star stared at the ground and noticed that one of the puddles was shaped like a heart and something snapped inside of her.
"I've got to go and make things right!"
