* * * * * P.O.V: Mayor Mare * * * * *

It had been a long day. Form, after form, after form. Nothing interesting had happened in awhile, which is pretty strange considering where you lived. It had been several months after Miss. Sparkle had ascended to her princess status, and nothing of notice has happened. This had concerned you, because it was when things were most peaceful; was when something weird or dangerous happened. You had a feeling that something was going to happen. Something BIG. Your day was almost over when you heard somepony say something.

"Um, are you Mayor Mare?" Said the other pony.

What was she doing here? She had no right to be in Ponyville, much less your office.

"Yes I am. How may I help you?" You ask. She winced at the venom in your voice.

"I understand that you are angry with me, but hear me out." She pleaded. "I just want to apologize." This really surprised you. She must have noticed it, so she continued. "Yes, I know. Thinking back on what I did, I realize that I was wrong. Really wrong, but I wish to make amends. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm sorry"

All you could do is stare at her with a deadpan expression and say "I'm not the one you need to apologize to."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"I mean you need to apologize to the ponies of Ponyville publicly. I will gather everypony together outside townhall, where you will apologize to all of them. That is what I mean." You scold.

"O-ok." She squeaked, as she turned to leave.

Deciding not to let her leave on a sour note, you called her back. "Wait!"

"Yes?" She asked, a bit confused.

You got up from your chair and trotted over to her with a warm smile and said "You may have been to horrible to everypony, but you have shown that you have seen the error of your ways. Meet me here at two o'clock tomorrow. Oh and, Trixie, apology accepted".

"Thank you." She said  with a small smile on her face.

The Next Day

* * * * * P.O.V: Trixie * * * * *

Townhall.

You were waiting behind the large front doors as Mayor Mare got the crowd ready for your announcement. After about five minutes, you heard this, "Now allow me to introduce our guest.". She opened the door and poked her head in and told you that it was time to come out.

"Do you think that the will forgive me?" You asked, walking through the door.

"I'm not sure Trixie. Let us just hope for the best from them." Replied Mayor Mare.

A hush washed over the crowd as you walk out. The silence would not have been bad if everypony weren't wearing expressions of hatred mixed with a little bit of confusion. You walked up to the stand with the mic to begin you apology, only to be interrupted by a certain mare with a spectrum colored mane.

"What is she doing back here!?" Yelled Rainbow Dash over the crowds silence.

With that, all that was audible was the heated comments coming from the crowd.

"I'm just trying to-" You tried to explain, only to have rotten produce thrown at you. You duck out of the way as a head of cabbage flies past you. "Please just let me expla-" You said into the mic, only to have to dodge a magical blast that was shot from somewhere in the crowd.

Tears started to form in the corners of your eyes. You knew that no matter how much you try to apologize, they would always hate you. You knew they wouldn't give you a chance, so you did the only thing you could think to do. You ran. You ran past the crowd. You ran past Ponyville. You ran into the Everfree Forest.

* * * * * P.O.V: Twilight * * * * *

You were in the back of the crowd watching in horror as Trixie is ran off of the stage by Ponyville's citizens. You couldn't stand to see somepony get treated like that, even if she had tried to hurt your friends and take over Ponyville. With a glow of your horn and a bright flash you found yourself on in front of the now cheering crowd.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PONIES!?" You shouted into the mic, causing everypony to wince from the increased volume.

"You all heard the mayor! She was trying to apologize for everything, yet you still treat her like trash! She has seen that she had done wrong and she wanted to set things right, but do you give her the chance? NO! You just cast her out!" You called into the mic.

You ran off of the stage after Trixie, hoping to catch up with her.

* * * * * P.O.V: Trixie * * * * *

You ran as far as your hooves could take you. You ran far, and you ran fast until you found yourself in a clearing in the Everfree Forest. You were too exhausted to go any further. You found a good spot to rest. It was dark now and the Everfree looked too menacing for most ponies, but you were not most ponies. Nopony else knew it, but this is where you had lived. You had no home and your stage/wagon had broken down a few weeks before, so you slept where you could find shelter, even if it was under a tree or beside a large rock.

You had hoped that Ponyville would accept your apology so you could get a job and find someplace to live, but you knew that it was just a waste of everypony's time. You were getting very tired from today's events, but as much as you want to sleep, you could not. The tears flowing from your eyes kept you awake and unable to rest.

You had been crying for what seemed like hours. All was quite while you wept, until somepony put a hoof on your ba- wait not a hoof, but a hand.

"Hey, are you alright?" Asked a concerned voice.
