Sorry

Cozy Glow trotted happily but in order for Twilight to believe her, she must pretend to say the word, ugh, sorry. She secretly rolled her eyes and took a deep breath.\

" Hey, Twilight. Um, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what I done and all the destruction I caused. Maybe I won't finally learn the true magic of friendship but I can say I'm sorry." Cozy Glow said and twisted her lips nervously, shuffling. Twilight just stared at her in shock and amazement. Whoa!

" Cozy Glow. Whether it's true or false, I loved those amazing words. Why don't we get some cake to celebrate this holiday, eh?" Twilight teased and trotted, filling with pride and amazement at Cozy Glow's word. Cozy Glow chucked and grinned darkly.

Around, there were ponies laughing and exchanging presents. Red ribbons hung and big blankets of snow outstretched. Bells ding in a musical tone and chattering was everywhere. Ponies are trotting, hugging, and chilling out. Many were throwing or attending a party. Everything looked great.

" Great so I could escape." Cozy Glow muttered and evilly chuckled, Twilight too busy ordering to even notice those threatening words.

Yum!

They went to Sugercube Corner and ordered a slice of cheesecake, a winter special. There were blueberries in the top and strawberry glaze at the bottom. The filling was mostly blueberries, with a sprinkle of chocolate and strawberry. It looked delicious. Cozy Glow saw that Twilight would look up and smiled and she beamed back.

" Thanks," said Cozy Glow, cracking the silence. " Why did you free me?"

" Well. I couldn't leave you there to rot. No pony has ever been sent there, especially not a filly. Despite what you did, you had to spend a few years there." Twilight said, munching her cheesecake and swallowed it with a satisfying gulp. Cozy Glow sighed honestly and just stared into her cheesecake, picking up the spoon. Now she regretted what she's going to do. Twilight trusted her completely but yet she's going to escape later.

No. I don't care what she thinks, thought Cozy Glow but can't help but feel a little guilty as she chewed the cheesecake.

Here´s my Chance

Cozy Glow went inside Twilight´s castle and met Starlight Glimmer. Starlight grinned and waved.

"Hi, Cozy Glow. Been so long since I saw you. What´s up?" asked Starlight with a friendly wave and smile.

This made Cozy Glow´s heart sank. They had been so friendly to her, yet she was going to flee snd make them all depressed.

"Hi, um. Nice decoration." Cozy Glow replied but in the corner of her eyes, Twilight glared sternly. "I, um, sorry that I trapped you in that vortex of magic. Sorry." Cozy mumbled, gazing down. Starlight smiled and wrapped her hooves around Cozy Glow´s back. Cozy glow pretendedly smiled and beamed with delight, nor she wasn´t inside.

"Want a drink. Hot cocoa?"Starlight asked, breaking the silence while Cozy nodded.

"I need to show you something, oooh, a homemade present I made for you, and only you."Twilight grinned and left the room.

Cozy nodded. This is my chance to escape, Cozy thought evilly. Twilight was pleased with all the improvement Cozy had shown and left the room, leaving the sneaky filly alone.

"Sorry, every pony but I need to escape."Cozy Glow said and spread her wings, escaping. An alarm beeped ad Twilight chased after her a few minutes later but couldn't find her. She wept and flew in sadness. Cozy hadn´t really changed. She was just pretending and plotting for her revenge. Twilight burrowed her hooves and wept, Starlight mad and worried, too.

Being Freed

It was Hearths Warming Eve and Cozy Glow smirked evilly. Many had thought she reformed and learned her lesson. But she didn't. Instead, anger was building and she plotted for revenge. She would curse the young six and her head mare. She stomped her foot and grunt in annoyance.

Meanwhile, Twilight trotted back and forth and with a burst of lavender magic, she teleported to Tartarus, next to Cozy Glow's cell. Cozy Glow perked up and grinned evilly.

" Oh, golly, Twilight. Please free me from this miserable life. I really learned my lesson and I won't do anything like that ever again. Please.' she pretended to sobbed and burrowed her hooves in her face. Tirek just snorted, enjoying the scene. Twilight felt her heartache at how Cozy Glow stayed at Tartarus. It was no place for a filly.

" Well. It had been a couple of years and I guess you're freed if you show good behavior. We'll have a great Hearths Warming Eve!" Twilight exclaimed, falling for the filly's trick. Cozy Glow beamed and revealed a shiny smile, full of happiness.

Meeting the Young Six

Cozy Glow finished her cheesecake and pushed her chair/ stool, Twilight Sparkle did the same and she smirked.

"Let´s go to those creatures."Twilight made her tone firmly, letting Cozy Glow know who she is talking about whose she is talking about. ¨They´re hosting a party." Twilight said smugly and led the way.

Twilight and Cozy Glow walked in silence, pasting houses and friends, hugging each other and squealing. Cozy Glow rolled her eyes and trotted. She knew she couldn't escape now, the time will tell, she thought wickedly. They went to The Shcool of Friendship. They opened the door and ponies and creatures streamed through. Colerful, red ribbons hung in the high ceiling and there were cupcakes with sprinkles. Others were exchanging presents, hugging, laughing, and trying to contain their excitement.

" Hi. What´s up, Cozy Glow. Headmare told us that you were being freed today. Cupcakes?" said Gallus, offering a plate of yummy cupcakes. Cozy Glow just nodded and reached for one.

"Glad you could join us. Are you going to stay?"asked Silverstream, pulling Cozy Glow into a quick hug. Twilight shook her head firmly and the others groaned. " I think I want to leave but I´m sorry for what I did. Happy Hearths Warming."Cozy said, making her puppy eyes. The other laughed a little and waved good-bye.

Why are those lame creatures being so nice, asked Czoy Glow as Twilight approached her castle.
