Chapter 6: Making Up
Twilight returned home to meet Blaze's angry gaze. "You're not going to that party tonight Blaze. I forbid you to go." Twilight stared at her daughter with an angry glare of her own.
"I'm going tonight and you can't stop me. I'm getting out of this place and away from you. I'm going to go live on my own." Blaze stomped her hoof down angrily.
"You aren't going anywhere Blaze, especially to that party. You'll just end up hurt and" Twilight was cut off by her daughter.
"I love him and you can't keep me from him, I hate you." Blaze then went on cussing out her mother very loudly.
Only when Blaze stopped did Twilight speak. "I'm sorry that you feel that way but calling me names and cussing me out" Twilight cut herself off and let a tear slip down her cheek. "Fine then, leave if you wish but when you get hurt, don't say that I didn't warn you Blaze. You are always welcome back home." With that Twilight calmly left the room and headed towards hers.
Blaze smiled at the thought of never having to deal with her mother again. "Like I would ever return to this place. I'm free and I'm never going to return." Blaze ran to her room and gathered up some things but then heard sobbing coming from her parents room. Twilight then began speaking. 'What can I do, she won't listen to me. I can't do anything to help her. Why does she think that she can do anything she wants?' Twilight said through sobs and then spoke again. 'I hope that now she'll learn her lesson once she gets hurt. If only it didn't come to that.' Blaze then turned away from the wall and sat down on her bed. "Am I that bad of a mare, a daughter?" Blaze thought as the crying could still be heard through the wall. She went over to her mirror and looked at herself. She saw herself until the image changed to her mother. 'I love you Blaze.' The image said which startled Blaze making her fall over onto her rump. "I made my mother cry and yet she still seems to love me?"
Blaze looked around and then stood up and walked over to the door when she heard her father talking. "I can't believe that mare." Then a sigh was heard and some more talking. "I wish she could see how much we love her. She acts like we keep her from fun but we don't. She has her friends that she hangs out with all the time." Blaze couldn't hear anymore at that point and began to think.
Blaze thought about the things her mother wouldn't let her do. 'Everfree Forest, no, going to Shadows house alone for the night, no. Going to the party tonight, no.' She couldn't seem to think of much more at the moment and so she thought about all the things that her mother let her do. 'Go out with friends all day, go to the movies late at night as a filly no less, be a part of the school play, sleeping over at diamonds house, eating a full tub of ice cream. Ok so she advised me not to but she let me anyway and it was a mistake. She let me go to Canterlot with her every year when I was a filly. I got to go to the Crystal Empire with her to see my uncle.' Blaze had thought of ten other things that her mother let her do.
Blaze ran out of her bedroom and over to her parents room and knocked. A small whimper telling her to enter was heard. Blaze walked in and ran over to her mother and hugged her tightly. "Mother, I'm so sorry, I love you."
Twilight sat there shocked for a moment as her daughter hugged her tightly. After a moment of shock, she hugged Blaze back. "I love you too Blaze."
"Can you forgive me for being a horrible daughter; I never knew how much you really let me do until a moment ago, when I really thought about it." Blaze then let some tears slip.
Twilight pushed her daughter away from her gently and smiled. "You're not a horrible daughter Blaze, just hard headed and stubborn." Twilight and Blaze chuckled a bit. "Now what made you change, I would have thought you would have been gone long before now."
"I wanted nothing more then to get out of here but then I heard you crying. I didn't know that I could hurt you so much mother. Then you started talking and I heard everything you said and then I heard dad and well." Blaze began crying but continued to talk. "I thought of everything that you would let me do and things that you wouldn't let me do. I realized that you let me do a lot of stupid things but you wouldn't let me do a few things that would or could get me killed or hurt. Those few things you wouldn't let me do was because I thought you hated me. I didn't realize how much you really love me. I love you so much mother." Blaze threw herself into her mothers' hooves and cried.
Twilight smiled slightly and then caressed her daughters' mane. "Blaze, I could never hate you. No matter what you do, even when you drive me crazy. You frustrate me Blaze but I could never hate you." Twilight pulled away and wiped the tears away from Blaze's face. "Now what do you say that we go get something to eat."
Blaze nodded her head and smiled widely. "Can I go to the party?" Blaze asked.
"No you can't and for the record, you're grounded for what you said to me." Twilight said walking out the door and expected an angry response from Blaze but it was just the opposite.
"Ok mom, I should have known that was coming." Blaze went over to her mother and smiled. "I guess my Cutie mark is wrong about me. I'm not strong or courageous. Dumb Bald Eagle cutie mark."
"Blaze; do you remember how you got your cutie mark?" Blaze shook her head. "You got that when you saved your friends from an avalanche of rocks. You swooped down and picked the three of them up in your magic and hooves. You were almost crushed in the process but you saved Lightning Blitz, Diamond, and unfortunately in my opinion Shadow. I saw that you realized that you were about to be crushed and you threw your friends to the side and then teleported away. I looked up to figure out why you got an eagle for a cutie mark and then it made sense. The eagle represents strength, courage and wisdom. You used all three of those things when saving your friends. I was so proud of you and disappointed as well. Once you figured out what your cutie mark meant, you stopped trying. Enough about that though, let's go get something to eat." Blaze nodded and followed her mother out of the room and into the kitchen.
