To the rest of the world, one thousand years was a long time for the Crystal Empire to disappear. For the locals, it was merely a day. When Spike the Glorious saved this kingdom alongside the Crystal Princess, Opal Bloom was filled with as much joy as her fellow Crystal Ponies.
But when all the celebrations are said and done, what can she do? As much as she doesn't want to remember the miserable times, the fact remains that Sombra killed her parents. She hides her misery behind a beautiful white smile.
Perhaps it's time for Opal Bloom to express her true feelings in writing.

Rated "Teen" for implied death among other things.
One-shot.
