She decided to teleport somewhere where it was warmer in Equestria, someplace she often visited while growing up, where one of her favorite relatives lived, none other than Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship and principal of the School of Friendship in Ponyville, and also Flurry’s aunt. As Flurry got back to her room, she teleported using her magic all the way to the town, appearing before her aunt’s residence, a huge crystal castle towering over the much smaller buildings of the town.

Besides the castle was the School of Friendship, built into the side of a hill, which Flurry had visited many times. She had such fond memories in both the castle and school, she would remember when she came to Ponyville with her parents and she often interacted with the students, who of course came from all the different lands. So she knew her way around as she trotted to the school entrance and opened the door, no one around as it was still the school day and students and teachers were in the classrooms.

“This brings back memories…” Flurry sighed as she quietly trotted through the hallways.

Eventually while going through the hallways, she saw a familiar purple dragon up ahead, who was now a old teenager like Flurry was, the dragon holding onto a scroll while flying through the hallway up ahead.

“Hey Spike.” Flurry said, not too loud, but loud enough to catch Spike’s attention as the dragon turned his head to see the pink alicorn.

“Flurry?” Spike questioned as he flew towards the princess with a smile, rolling up the scroll before the two gave each other a hug. “What are you doing her and where are you parents?”

“Well…” Flurry began, not sure how to go about explaining her problem. “I just need to speak with auntie Twily, it’s important and personal.”

“Well, she’s teaching class at the moment…” Spike said in almost a whisper. “Tell you what, I’ll go and talk to her and see if she can see you, while you go and wait in her office, you know where it is right?” Spike asked in a slight teasing voice.

“Of course I do Spike.” Flurry chuckled.

“I know, just teasing.” Spike chuckled back before flying off to Twilight’s classroom while Flurry trotted to Twilight’s office.

As Flurry got to the office, the memories of it came back to her, she remembered when she first came here, like some other places in the school, that she was a bit scared at how big the office was, made her feel small, of course as she got older she got more comfortable being in the room. Flurry, once in the office, looked around as she trotted into the room, she smiled as she got to the desk and looked at a couple of picture sitting on the desk…

One of them was the whole family together for a picture, Flurry, her parents, auntie Twily, and her grandmare Twilight Velvet and grandstallion Night Light. Her grandponies had their heads close to each other in a loving sort of way, while her parents were doing the same while Flurry was on top of Cadance, who was next to Twilight, Flurry, still a baby in the picture was playing with Twilight’s ears while Twilight had a laughing smile on. The other picture was just of Flurry and Twilight, Flurry on top of Twilight, spreading her wings while Twilight looked back and above at the baby.

Flurry always loved those pictures and it brought a smile on her face seeing how her auntie kept those pictures on her office desk all these years. Flurry was so into the pictures, she didn’t hear Twilight enter her office.

“Yup, still have those pictures alright.” Twilight spoke up as she saw Flurry looking at the images.

Flurry looked around to see her auntie Twilight, who of course had grown up taller and looking even more mature, more beautiful and lovely than when Flurry was just a baby. Flurry smiled and galloped straight into Twilight, nearly knocking her over as Twilight just laughed and accepted the hug Flurry was giving her.

“It’s so good to see you again as well Flurry.” Twilight said as Flurry realized something.

“Wait, isn’t class still going on?” Flurry noticed as she started to feel bad about disrupting Twilight’s teaching.

“Oh don’t worry, I left Spike in charge of the class.” Twilight smiled as she then got serious however. “He also mentioned that you have something important and personal to talk to me about and since my brother and sister in law aren’t with you, I’m guessing it’s very serious.”

“Yes it is…” Flurry replied.

“Why don’t we sit down and then we can talk.” Twilight guided Flurry to the seat in front of her desk while Twilight took her own seat on her desk chair. “So what’s the problem?” Twilight asked as the two got comfortable in their seats.

“Auntie Twily, is it true I shattered the crystal heart and almost doomed the Crystal Empire?” Flurry getting straight to the point.

Twilight was a little taken aback by this, she knew one day this would happen, she just didn’t imagine it to be today. Twilight thought about response, needing to be careful with her words.

“Yes it is true Flurry.” Twilight replied, sighing a little. “But can I ask what brought this up?”

“Well, I overheard my parents talking about it and I confronted them about it, they told me they were going to tell me, but hesitated doing so.” Flurry answered. “So does this make me a monster auntie, am I not worthy of being a princess?” Flurry beginning to shed tears, which made Twilight get up from her seat to comfort her niece, wiping away the tears with her hoof.

“No it doesn’t Flurry.” Twilight said in a soft voice. “Look, we all have faults that we need to get past, I once made the mistake of making all of Ponyville fight over my doll, all because I was panicking about sending a friendship lesson to your greataunt Celestia. And you didn’t know any better than, you were still just a newborn.” Twilight chuckled at the memory while she put her wing over Flurry’s back.

(I hope someone knows the episode I referenced!)

“Thanks auntie Twily, so what happened exactly?” Flurry asked. “Like why did I do what I did and how did it end up being fixed?”

“Well, part of the blame actually has to go to your mother and I, we separated you from your auntie Pinkie Pie who kept you calm, you got so upset by that, you screamed and since your magic wasn’t brought under control, it was enough to shatter the heart.” Twilight remembered that crazy day in the Empire. “When unicorns are born, they have strange magic surges, my own mom used to say she had quite a difficult time with me and my brother when we were newborns, so I guess alicorns have more powerful magical surges they are born.”

“So it was just because I was a baby?” Flurry questioned, but looked like she was still confused. “But than how did my magic get under control?”

“Well, the same reason how we managed to fix the crystal heart, your crystalling, your Uncle Sunburst was the one who figured it out, by gathering up every pony’s love and putting it into the heart.” Twilight answered. “Once your crystalling was done, I guess it brought your magic under control, I’m still trying to wrap that mystery today.”

“I guess that’s as good of an answer I will get…” Flurry sighed. “But auntie, do you still think I’m a good princess, even thought I did what I did.”

“Of course I do Flurry, you will be a great princess, everything you have done in your life led you to what you are now.” Twilight reassured Flurry.

“Thanks auntie.” Flurry smiled as she laid her head against her auntie’s, while Twilight patted Flurry’s back with her wing.

“You’re welcome Flurry.” Twilight replied. “Now I think it’s time you go back home.”

“But what if my parents are angry at me for running away?” Flurry fearful of how her parents are reacting to her missing.

“They wouldn’t, trust me, your parents love you too much to be angry at you just for running away, they will understand that you just needed a little time to cool off.” Twilight continuing to reassure her niece.

“Okay, well thank you auntie, you really helped me.” Flurry said.

“Anytime sweetie, until next time.” Twilight replied before Flurry cast a teleportation spell back to the Crystal Empire.

Flurry teleported back to her bedroom and when she appeared there, she heard the sound of soft crying as she looked and saw her mother holding her hooves to her face and her dad comforting her.

“Mom, dad?” Flurry spoke up, which the two heard and looked to see their daughter. “I’m sorry for running away, I just…”

Before flurry could finish, both Cadance and Shining Armor hugged Flurry, which she was surprised by, but accepted it.

“Oh sweetie, we’re glad you came back.” Shining Armor said.

“Yes, we thought you ran away for good.” Cadance added. “Where did you go?” Cadance asked as the family let go of the hug.

“I teleported all the way to Ponyville, to seek comfort from Auntie Twily.” Flurry answered, revealing that she teleported herself all the way there. “And she said the right words I needed to hear.”

“Typical Twily, always knows what to say…” Shining Armor chuckled as he knew that he needed to thank his sister for what she did at a later time.

“Well for now, why don’t we let the Empire know you’re safe, you almost threw the Empire into a panic while you were gone.” Cadance told Flurry as the young teenage mare let out a nervous chuckle.

And so the family as one left Flurry’s bedroom to continue on with their lives, eager to enjoy the future and let the past, well be a thing of the past.
