On the train to the empire
Starlight pov
So we on our way and I'm making an effort to stay as far from Twilight as possible. Especially after that warning and implied threat in the castle 3 and a half hours ago. I can barly look at them without shivers rolling down my spine.
They are all talking and laughing about who knows what but as long as they're not harassing me I'm fine with it. I know Princess Twilight won't kill me at least not yet but i also know the others won't step up to defend me unless my life is in danger and that thought fills me with dread.
Hey Starlight says spike approaching you alright?
Yeah I'm sorry I'm just not that eager about this friendship lesson. I'm also worried Sunburst will hate me like everyone else Starlight expresses with a angry upset and uncertain tone in her voice.
I don't know what to say or do if he does reject me and I...I... I'm scared spike. If he rejects me I'll be truly alone with no pony that cares.
I don't know if...if I'm stro...o..strong enough to..to han...handle i...it. Starlight explained almost choking by the end.
And... your the only one who...who cares enough to talk to me and check on how i feel Sob...hiccup.
Starlight says Spike enbracing her I'm not gonna lie spike says pulling away and staring into her tear filled eyes. Yes you messed up but like discord you'll bounce back it'll be ok. Yes it's true it won't be easy but you can do this. Tell you what why don't express your grievances to Twilight or one of the others.
But-
No buts! Spike quickly says cutting off Starlight's excuse. I know they don't exactly like you at the moment. He pauses ok bad choice of words they hate you but! he continues; they are still the elements of harmony and that comes with an obligation to help anyone who needs it. Regardless of who they are or what they have done.
Starlight slowly stops sobbing and thinks for a moment would they really help or mock and redacule her again? Uncertainty flys around her mind as she ponders spikes advice.
Alright She responds I'll confront them after this trip when we're back in Ponyville. Just not right now.
That's the spirit. You'll see everything will be fine. Spike says as he starts walking back.
Wait!... Spike?
Yes? Spike turns only to get pulled into a hug by Starlight.
Thank you i really needed that and thanks for listening.
Your welcome Starlight. Spike tells her they seperated as the train pulls into the Crystal city station.
Ok here we go. says Starlight as she exits the train.
After Twilight talks with her very sleep deprived brother she sends or orders Starlight to go to Sunburst' house and sends spike with her to more of less keep an eye on her. On the way they pass a statue of... Spike?!
Spike is that a statue of you? And why is it here? Asked Starlight as they walked through the city.
Yeah I'm pretty awesome i helped save the empire from King Sombra and became a hero everyone loves Spike. He responds basically stroking his own ego. Starlight groans and rolls her eyes quietly.
Well how'd that happen can you tell me? asks Starlight
Though clearly a distraction from thinking about the coming conversation with Sunburst, Spikes ego makes him oblivious as he sits on a random bench and recalls his story. Crystal ponies then start gather around to listen to the now legendary tale.
Meanwhile at the castle with Twilight and the girls.
Hello Cadence it's good to see you Twilight says hugging her.
Also noticing the two princess' off to the side as she gives a nod.
It's good to see you too how's our little foal.
She is happy,healthy and ready to meet her amazing aunt. Says Cadence
The little foal in her bed then begins to stir. All of a sudden...
Wings? Wings come out from behind her back.
The baby is an alicorn! Twilight exclaims.
How? asks Rarity and Applejack
Actually their's a real biological answer for this explained Celestia. You see the example is called a punnet square
You see the capital A are the mothers genes and the lower case a's are the fathers. Basically she is an alicorn because Cadence' dna was changed when she was made an alicorn so for this foal when she was developing she
got more of her mothers genes making her an alicorn in the process.
Aaahh girr brrzzz babbled the foal as she is looks at her purple alicorn aunt.
Wow that actually really makes sense said Applejack looking over in borderline shock.
Ah. Ah AHCOOO!! The young alicorn sneezes causing a magical blast to shoot through the ceiling and from what they could see at least several floors.
Everyone looks at the baby in shock as she settles back into a comfortable position in her crib.
Ok that complicates things. says Twilight everyone nods in agreement and takes a step back not wantingbti be caught in one of the blasts.
The baby oblivously continues on as if nothing is wrong.
Well at least she isn't Starlight. Says Twilight quietly to herself. Off to the side Luna's ear twitches and her eyes narrow slightly.
Back in the city center
Ahcoo sneezes Starlight.
Excuse you says Spike breifly stopping his story to be curtious.
Thanks Spike. Says Starlight
10 minutes later she starts asending the steps of her old friends house. She takes a deep breath.
Knock knock
She nevously knocked on his door
Crreeeaakk
Sunburst? Starlight askes nervously as the door opens
Yes can i help you? Responds a orange colt in glasses and a cape.
Well here we go. Starlight says to herself as she prepares for a hard day.
