Adjusting, Not

Some time after Starlight Glimmer got her cutie mark, after protecting her old town from a terrible disaster, things began to change for Starlight Glimmer.

Although some ponies were happy with her, Starlight Glimmer wasn't too happy about it. Although some of the ponies in town cheered Starlight Glimmer for earning her cutie mark, she wasn't satisfied.

On one particular night, Starlight Glimmer was up, thinking about her new cutie mark. "Why?" She asked herself, "Just why?!" She then plopped her face in the pillow. Once again, she had a rough night.

The next morning, Starlight Glimmer woke up to start her new day. However, like in the past few days, since she got her cutie mark, many other ponies in town started to congratulate her on getting her cutie mark.

"Well done, Starlight!" one pony said to her. "You should feel proud with yourself," another said. "With getting your cutie mark!" another one said. "We think you're going to be the best!" one more pony said to Starlight Glimmer.

There were so many happy ponies surrounding Starlight Glimmer that she began to feel confused. For Starlight Glimmer, there was one option. She teleported herself away from the crowd. "Hey, where did she go?" one pony asked. Starlight Glimmer reappeared outside of town.

"That was close!" she thought to herself, "Was saving the town really worth getting a cutie mark?!" For the rest of the day, she decided to stay out of town until everypony had calmed down for the day.

"Maybe that's for the better," Starlight Glimmer thought to herself. Until then, Starlight Glimmer stood outside of town. She continued thinking about getting her cutie mark, and of course, her old friend.

Some hours later, Starlight Glimmer did return to town. But when she got back, she was greeted with another excited crowd of happy ponies. Once again, they've congratulated her for earning her cutie mark. "We should throw a Cute Ceanera for Starlight Glimmer!" one pony shouted.

That was it for Starlight Glimmer.
