All Sins Can Be Forgiven

"What?" Lust gave a disappointed frown.

"How could you? You don't even care about him! Don't you know how important love is?" Greed gave her an unamused look.

"No. Master didn't put lovey-dovey things in our programming if you would call it that." Lust rolled her eyes.

"Hello? I'm LUST! I know all about love!" She took a proud pose to show her point, though it didn't really make one. "Wrath is in it, you know nothing about it, it is a precious thing, it shouldn't be tossed away because you master tells you to do it, and Master would agree!" Lust slapped her hooves over her mouth as if she had just told a secret on accident.

"What are you saying?" Greed asked, curiously inspecting Lust's frightened look.

"I bet I can guess!" Pride shouted with glee.

"Shut up Pride!" Wrath yelled, pulling the floating pegasus back to the ground.

"I-I wasn't supposed to...say...he just...you know, so I could..." Lust sighed in defeat. "Master implanted his experience of love into my head so I would know what it's like. I am Lust after all!" She said innocently. "He's going to kill me for this..." She whimpered.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Master was in LOVE!?" Greed stood slackjawed while Gluttony bounced around her happily.

"Ooh! I wonder who it was!" She shouted with pure glee. Lust cleared her throat.

"I'm sure that whoever it was is none of your concern." She smiled mischievously. "Though, I can tell you that she was quite a sight." Pride laughed.

"What, you mean Master put THAT in your head too?" He collapsed onto the floor in laughter, a few seconds afterwards Envy chuckled a bit.

"Yeah, I definitely don't envy you on THAT note!" She giggled a little more before they were interrupted by a loud crack.

"Are you done giggling like little fillies?" Wrath asked, a noticeable crack in the pavement below his hoof.

"Yes, I do believe we were talking about WRATH!" Greed stated, giving the two a hard glare.

"Hey, don't drag me back into this!" He shouted.

"Well you were the whole reason this even came up! You AND Kindness!"

"S-Shut up!" Wrath stuttered. "Just because Lust thinks I'm in love doesn't mean I am!"

"Um..." The sins all turned in unison to see Fluttershy along with the other elements.

"Ha! Good luck talking your way out of this one, Wrath!" Pride said with a smirk.

"Let me clarify that it isn't what it sounds like." Wrath said with an innocent smile. Twilight gave him an angry glare.

"Yeah, I'm sure it isn't." She growled.

"So...hear any weird news lately?" Greed asked with a smug grin. Twilight Sparkle frowned at her.

"Yeah, though I'm sure you already know." She said, eyeing Greed's build. "I would say 'nice to meet you', but considering who you are..." Greed gave her a good natured laugh

"Please, it's an honor to meet you...Magic." She said, now puposefully mocking the element bearer.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle. I hope you'll use it from now on." She said with strained calmness.

"Are these those freaky sin ponies ya'll been talking 'bout?" Applejack asked, looking curiously at Envy.

"Yes they are, Applejack. Each one made specifically for each of us." Twilight frowned at Greed. "Purposefully made to be our worst enemy." Greed chuckled.

"Enemy's a little harsh, don't you think? I prefer to call it...a sibling rivalry." She rolled her eyes. "But you wouldn't know a thing about sibling rivalries, would you Twily?"

"Don't drag Shining Armor into this!" She growled.

"Oh, right. You two don't talk much anymore, do you?" Greed happily left the argument, confident that she had won.

"It's better than having a mix-and-match creature be the only thing to call dad!" Greed stopped in her tracks. She turned around with a hiss, her eyes glowing yellow.

"You leave Master out of this!" Rainbow Dash fell over in a heap of giggles.

"Ha, ha, ha! Master? You guys call him MASTER!?" She pounded her fists at the ground in uncontrollable laughter. "Oh, CELESTIA! That's RICH!" Rarity soon joined her, if only with light giggles. Soon all five of Twilight's friends were laughing at the almost impossible innuendo.

"You shut your traps or I'll rip them off!" Wrath growled, eyes glazed over once again in anger. Every single one immediately stopped. His eyes soon returned to normal, and he desperately rubbed them as if they would turn him into a monster.

"You know, Wrath...you could form an alliance." Lust whispered in his ear. He grunted and pushed her mouth away from his head.

"I'm not in the mood Lust!" Twilight's five friends soon started giggling again. Wrath growled, desperately clamping his ears to his head to block out the noise.

He whined and whimpered as if in pain. He couldn't take it. He couldn't get angry again. He needed to disappear. He needed to get away from everything. He needed to be alone. He squirmed under his hooves, knowing he was about to pop. That's when it hit him.

"Think about Kindness, think about Kindness..." He whispered to himself. He didn't get angry when he saw her face. It was like his rage was gone and it would never come back. He wanted that to last forever. He didn't want to get mad ever again.

"Wrath? Are you okay?" His eyes shot open and he realized that the elements were gone. Had it been that long? He looked up.

"Pride?" The stallion stood beside his fellow sins who all wore concerned looks.

"Yeah, you started smiling and flapping your wings so we got worried." Wrath blushed. Maybe he had gotten a tad carried away.

"I'm fine. I just learned a new coping skill." Pride's jaw dropped.

"What!? Coping skill!?" Wrath sighed, he felt like he was about to cry.

"I don't want to be angry, Pride. I want to be nice, calm, and gentle." He sighed dreamily without realizing it. "Like Kindness." He said with a goofy smile. Pride blinked a few times before turning to Lust.

"You were right, he's goo-goo for Kindness." She smiled triumphantly while Greed growled in anger.

"This is terrible! How are we going to carry out master's plan if Wrath's all goo-goo eyes for an element bearer? Kindness no less!" She said, nervously pacing in a circle.

"Do you have something AGAINST Kindness!?" Wrath growled, eyes starting to glaze over.

"Of course I do! She's an element bearer! Master's worst enemy! We're not supposed to fall head over hooves for them!" Greed's cheeks started to grow flushed as she continued her outburst. "I mean, they're supposed to be our worst enemies for Havoc's sake! And if we fall for them then Master's plan would be ruined! And he said himself that he would be VERY disappointed! So I have to do everything in my power to keep from-" Greed stopped abruptly.

They were all staring at her.

"I mean, not that...I..." She awkwardly cleared her throat. "Anyway..."
