Cozy laid on her stomach on her pillow on the floor while using her mouth to operate a purple crayon. She colored the princess’s dress and reflected over the events of the past month and how they’ve affected her. Golly! It was so strange to suddenly actually break down! And in front of other ponies no less! When she reflected on that, she closed her eyes as she almost felt ashamed, but soon realized that sometimes, it’s okay not to be strong. Sometimes, it’s okay to need somepony else in your life, because friendship is what binds us together and when we work together, we can make a better future for us, for all, and for everypony.

And then the filly opened her eyes and dropped the crayon off to her left side with her mouth before reaching down with her neck to get the blue crayon. She began to color the princess’s body as she thought about everything that happened to her… She thought about her parent’s death and how, like it or not, she had to leave that part of her life behind… It’s true that nothing lasts forever, but she closed her eyes again for a moment when she wondered why certain changes must be so painful? They didn’t do anything to deserve what they got! Why do bad things happen to good ponies? But as she opened her eyes again, it becomes painfully obvious that there’s no real answer to that question, huh?

Then the filly releases the blue crayon to her right before moving her head down to grab the red crayon next to it and then proceeds to color the mighty dragon. She thought about power and what it had to offer. She thought about the control that would give her over her life. Once upon a time, she was convinced things were that simple. But they’re never really that simple, are they? She briefly pondered on what might have been had she succeeded. What then? Is there anything left? She would’ve thought she had friends at that time, but it would be blatantly obvious that her followers were not really her friends to anypony looking in. She wouldn’t have spent any actual quality time with any of them after all! They’re just there to be used!

She closes her eyes once more and drops the crayon from her mouth as she thinks on that. “People are meant to be used!” That was the philosophy they said was bad right? Okay so if that’s bad, then what is the right philosophy? What is the right way? Her eyes open and her mouth scrunches while she thinks about her best friend Starshine and how they’ve bonded. At all the times they’ve laughed and played together and how they like to take verbal jabs at one another in their filly banter. This thought made Cozy smile as one of her bluish white locks flowed over her left eye and she remembered the astronomy lesson, being with her friend on the playground, and finally making s’mores with her! These memories, she suddenly realized will be with her for the rest of her life and this only made her beam more as she began to feel more delighted.

And then she opened her mouth to take a deep breath as she began to think about Little Snack, the earth filly she recently met on the train ride to Canterlot. How Little Snack only knew her as the “demon child” from her textbooks! How even though Little Snack had only seen bad things about her, she still gave her a chance… Golly! Maybe I can have a second chance after all? A chance to make things right in my life? Well thanks to Trixie and many other ponies, that’s exactly what appears to be happening?

And for some bizarre reason, this made the filly grimace before she slammed her head down onto the coloring book and says to nopony in particular, “Alright fine! I’ll do it!” And at that point, she could only giggle at how silly she was with her face still on the coloring book. She then mutters to herself, “You know, sometimes you actually have to take a look at yourself to realize how dumb you are? And um, I guess that’s okay? I mean, everypony makes mistakes right? Mine just happened to be trying to take over Equestria! Why not?” before snickering maniacally at herself.

And then her door opens to show a blue unicorn who says to her, “Cozy! I thought I heard screaming? Are you okay?”

Cozy looks over to and smiles at Trixie before saying, “Oh golly, I’m swell mom! You know, you really should get better insulation for those walls?”

Trixie smiles at Cozy and says, “Actually, I was going to do that soon. Okay Cozy! Uh, what are you coloring?” before trotting over to see what her daughter was doing.

My name is Cozy Glow, and this is the story of my life After Stone… I didn’t ask for it, nor did I want it! But that’s just life as an adorable filly I suppose? Golly!
