After about ten-fifteen minutes, there was a feast indeed, as Speda was fed many products with the use of apples in them, and soon, she was so full she couldn't walk.

It took a bit for her to rest, until she decided she needed to go back to Ponyville for her daily training with Rainbow Dash. Speda thanked Granny, received a hug, and promised Applebloom she would tell her how she got her cutie-mark, at least with a lie mixed in, so she didn't horrify the filly.

It took Speda twenty minutes to walk to Ponyville, now feeling better, when she noticed she forgot to put her clothes back on but it was too late for that, as up came a rainbow and pink blur, her crushes standing side by side in front of her, and their looks changed pretty drastically when they saw what she had on.

Pinkie's face displayed a look of horror, seeing the beginnings, the tops of her scar-ridden hooves, to the bottoms of her fore-hooves. Rainbow's face displayed a similar look, as she took in the shape her wings were in. They may not be torn anymore, but they showed they were in the past.

What Speda wouldn't give to go back and redress herself, but she couldn't. She sighed, and looked away, waiting to hear the disgusted groans, or even shrieks of horror, but nothing came. Except the sounds of crying mares. And soon, Speda was yanked into their hooves, being hugged for all she was worth and more, as Speda couldn't say anything, feeling horrible she made them cry.

"We.... We know you said you had a bad fillyhood, but we didn't think it was as bad as this shows, Speda. Why didn't you say anything? Who did this to you?", Rainbow spoke up first, and Pinkie brought up the second.

"Y.. y.. your hooves. Your wings. How could they do this to a filly so young? I.. I hope they burn. I hope they rot and burn in whatever hell they are in.", Pinkie was so upset, her hair dropped, became a dark pink, and her eyes held anger like no other has possessed in Equuis in a long time.

Speda just hugged them both tighter, and Pinkie sobbed, hugging as gently as she could, while Rainbow just hugged Speda tighter, and soon they both calmed enough to speak clearly.

"It's okay, Pinkie, Dashie. I'm fine. It was a long time ago, I got over it... A bit. But you two made my life brighter, and so it doesn't matter as much to me anymore. You don't need to worry about me. Or them for that matter. They're dead. They can't do anything to anypony anymore, and that's good enough for me. Thank you for caring so much, and I'm sorry I didn't say, or do anything about it before.", Speda said, hugging the two once more, and pulled back, but before she could, she was kissed on the cheek by both mares who still had teary eyes, and both still couldn't take their eyes away from Speda's scarred body.

"We are going to skip training today. We are going to hang with Pinkie, Fluttershy, and we are going to have some ice cream. Then after that, we are going to the doctors. You can't say no, either.", Rainbow Dash said, a firm stance, and Speda didn't say no.

Pinkie stood up, and picked up Speda's clothes off the ground, laying them on her own back, while Speda was walked to Fluttershy's cottage to pick her up on their way, Rainbow Dash ahead of her, Pinkie behind her.

Once they knocked on the door, the door swung open a crack, and then it opened a bit wider as Fluttershy poked her head out, seeing Speda's form, she gasped loudly. Fluttershy rushed out of her cottage, and looked Speda over as she unraveled the cloth wrap that concealed all the scars underneath, and even through Pinkie and Rainbow knew she was scarred, they still winced at the amount, even as Fluttershy gasped in disbelief.

"Fluttershy, these scars of mine are old, so there's no need to get worked up. Some doctor up in Canterlot couldn't heal me, so he told me I'd have these the rest of my life. That's kinda the reason I wear clothes in general, since I didn't want to worry everypony-", Speda was interrupted as Fluttershy, for all she was worth, didn't act very shy in this moment.

"I don't care who told you they were un-healable, I will find a way! Even if it takes me years, I don't want you to live your entire life being afraid to go outside without a covering, hiding everything you are, your cutie-mark especially. Everypony should know you are the only pegasus who can use magic in the world, the only one who is so determined to have a normal life. I wish I could be more assertive to other ponies, but it's difficult to do so, but with you, you helped me be like this! So, if this is within my power to help, I will!", Fluttershy said , more normal than anypony has ever heard her be before, with a almost unwaverable kindness showing clearly in her eyes.

Speda smiled, with tears welling up, so touched, that when she heard the word Determined, she felt a click in her heart, or something deeper inside.

She didn't pay attention to it, as she, Rainbow, Pinkie, and now Fluttershy walked together to Sugarcube Corner. Speda didn't pay attention to the looks of horror thrown her way. She was too happy, surrounded by those who cared for her, she didn't notice she was being called by name, until Granny, Applejack, Applebloom, and even Big Macntosh walked in, and sat in the booth next to theirs, and then they started asking Speda about them, now that all of them had seen all of the scars present on Speda's body.

Speda told them everything, from her birth, and the tragedy of her biological mother, to the end of her suffering. The day she murdered twenty eight ponies, at the age of eleven. She waited for the gasps of horror at what she'd done, waited for the rejections of the only ponies who treated her like she WAS a family member to them, to turn her away, fire her, and her two crushes to hate her. But none of her nightmares happened. She was hugged, and consoled. They didn't hate her. She was still surrounded by her loved ones. And that made her cry the most, in joy, pure joy at not being rejected again.

The ponies outside heard her story. They couldnt believe what they were hearing, how this young pegasus filly was tortured, abused, and scarred in the way she was, in more ways than one. There were some who pitied her. Some ponies felt horrible for how they whispered about the orphan. There were also some who wished they could do something for her.

It was a few hours of them eating ice cream, and crying, as Speda told more things about her life. She left out the part of her being a princess bit, and the fact that her aunt was Celestia, but aside from that, she mentioned everything. From being rejected ninety seven times of getting the chance to be adopted, all because of her eyes, and her history. Many were astonished that she wasn't adopted yet, but she said she was fine on her own now. Soon she'll be able to buy her own house, and there won't be a need to burden a family with another mouth to feed.

The Apples were about to say something, when Speda informed them they were best thing she had to having a family, and she was thankful enough on that part alone, which calmed the tension between everypony at the sight of her being happy again.

Soon after that, Speda, Pinkie, Rainbow, and Fluttershy were on the way to the hospital, and as they arrived, a white mare with a pink mane answered, glancing at Speda's condition.

It took a few hours of constant trying, but the best they could do was heal Speda's smaller scars in her wings, and a few on her hooves, but it was something, and Speda was too happy to notice the frustration on everyponies faces as they left the hospital. Pinkie spoke up.

"Speda, why are you so happy already? They aren't all gone. I don't know if we can get rid of the rest.", Pinkie said, with a furrowed brow, her mane nearly drooping again, but floofed up as Speda spoke in return.

"Because while it may be disappointing to y'all, it feels just.... Amazing for my wings to be unrestrained of the pain if I moved them wrong, with a chance of ripping up an old scar, and making a new wound. It's cuz of you three that I don't have to worry about it. So thank you Pinkie. Thank you Rainbow. Thank you Fluttershy. I wish mom could see me now", Speda said with happy tears flowing again. The three mares in front of her sighed, then smiled as well.

"Well, if you're happy Speda, then I guess we will have to be as well. Just tell us if something big like this happens again, okay? We will always be here for you.", Pinkie said, smiling, and then she kissed Speda's forehead. Speda smiled back at that, blushing a bit, as Rainbow Dash approached her as well.

Rainbow Dash kissed Speda on the cheek, making her blush more in embarrassment. Fluttershy and Speda hugged, mutually feeling awkward at the prospect of if they kissed as well, but neither liked each other in that way.

Soon they arrived at Fluttershy's cottage, and as they were getting ready to leave, Fluttershy waved goodbye for the day.

"I mean what I said, Speda. You can count on the day when your hooves will have no scars at all. Okay? You just have to be patient for it!", Fluttershy yelled, and Speda smiled.

"I'll count on it!", Speda yelled back, as they crossed the bridge back into Ponyville. They kept trotting along in silence, Speda thinking, and then stopped. She was going to ask them the question.
