I’m sorry if you guys don’t like this story, it’s just I wanted to write a Cozy Glow story it’s rare to find interesting ones that aren’t canceled are on hiatus I am working on getting better at writing. This is only my fourth story. Enjoy.

Chapter 2

The next day starts off differently. I woke up to spike staring me down. I slowly sit up and rub my eyes.

“Uhhh huh what is it?” I ask and his face gets madder.

“I don’t trust you cozy. You’re up to something why would I believe that you just all of a sudden want to be good?” Anger flared up inside me.

“I don’t care what you think you stupid little lizard I just think being evil isn’t worth it if imma be turned into stone. So yes I am gonna work towards being good.” Started by my anger. What is happening to me it’s like I have cozy’s emotions my head is spinning.

“Yeah yeah if you want to be good I would recommend not calling ponys mean names and I’m not a lizard im a dragon.”

Without even thinking, I roll my eyes and walk towards the door, and He blocks my Plath.

“Sorry cozy I can’t let you walk around by yourself I didn’t just come here to talk I am actually here to take you to twilight so you can go to sweet apple acres. Remember you’re going to be working with AppleJack.”

“Sigh ok ok whatever lead the way.” I say, in an annoyed tone. As we walk through the crystal castle, I can’t help, but think to myself I sound way too much like the actual Cozy Glow… it’s like her personality is seeping through our blending somehow with my own. That is an issue. I’ll have to deal with eventually for now. My focus on the here and now.

“oh there you are have a seat. I think some pancakes are in order before I take you to an Applejack can’t be working on an empty stomach now can you heheh.” Twilight says giggling, and she puts a plate of pancakes in front of me. I stare at the plate, and remember how everything happened before Cozy Glow was turned to stone, and without thinking again, my voice has a mind of its own, and I say,

“why are you being so nice to me? I did such horrible things and yet you are giving me pancakes and helping me to reform all this just because you felt sorry for turning me to Stone. Why are you being so nice I don’t get it.”

“ It’s simple cozy You’re a foal with time I’m sure we can help reform you put you on the right path so with enough kindness and help I have no doubt that you can turn your life around.” Twilight says sitting down in front of me and I start eating the pancakes. My eyes widen because these are the best pancakes I’ve had in years. Sure I’ve had some pretty good pancakes in the human world, but never as good as these ones… for some reason, I can’t quite remember. If I even had pancakes before again I’ll put that thought to the side for later.

It didn’t take long before we finished eating and twilight took me to sweet apple acres to work with AppleJack.

“Hey AJ I’m here to drop off cozy. Make sure she is kept busy. She’ll be here for about a week.” Twilight says, nudging me forward with her wing.

“Ah yes good timing I could use some help come on sugar cube, you got some work to do.” as I follow her the farm seems to be a lot bigger than I thought it would be compared to the show that could also be due to the fact I am much shorter than I would be.

“ all right what do you want me to do in buck Some trees carry some barrels of apples or something along those lines?” I say Nonchalantly, to which I Applejack chuckles at me and shakes her head.

“ hehe nah nothing like that you’re gonna be working you’re here to learn humility and good work ethic so I’m gonna have you be pulling weeds for now over here in the small garden. This is where we grow our vegetables.” She says, pointing a hoof towards what definitely was not a small garden by any means. This looks like it was at least a football field in length. A lot of vegetables were growing hair, corn, carrots, cabbage lettuce, etc. and lots and lots of weeds. My eyes seem to shrink at this, and my ears pinned back into my head.

“Y..you can’t be serious he want me to pull all of these weeds by myself???” I ask, absolutely terrified of her answer, to which she simply adds

“ Yep” I drop my head at her answer and sigh…. As I step into the garden, she informed me that she wants at least a quarter of this finished before I can take a break. And with that I get to work and start pulling weeds with my teeth because hooves are incredibly difficult to maneuver finding it much easier for me to pull with teeth. As I fill a bucket with weeds, I grumble to myself.

“ stupid Applejack, stupid chores, stupid weeds, how is this even supposed to teach me humility or something like that this is just chores” I say stomping my hoof on the ground and frustration.

“ y’all know it would be a lot quicker if you use the tool?” Apple Bloom said, startling me. I turn around to see a little filly, staring at me, leaning against the fence. My mind suddenly flashes memories of how the Cutie Mark Crusaders used to be friends with Cozy Glow before she intentionally failed her test screwed everyone over and tried to take over the School Friendship…. The weird part is it feels like my memories like I. remember I. did it. Some thing is totally wrong with my mind, shaking my head and looking back at. Apple Bloom.

“ hello again Apple Bloom long time no see huh? “ my greeting seem to catch her off guard and she gives me a glare.

“ yeah last time I saw you you completely backstabbed us and then you try to take over all of Equestria by teaming up with Tirek and Chrysalis. Personally, I think you should’ve stayed a statue. regardless. You gotta use a tool instead of your teeth it be a lot quicker that’s all your help. I’m giving you.” She says, and with that she turns and walks away, leaving me standing there, stunned at how cold she was, but she wasn’t wrong. Cozy Glow really did destroy their friendship. The pain of that hit me. I walk over sadly and take the trowel, and begin to pull the weeds much easier thinking about how a lot of Cozy Glow‘s memories were perceived in my mind as my own memories. This was starting to worry me.

____________ Four hours later___________

I finished about half a quarter of the weeds before an Applejack came back to me and was leaning against the fence.

“Hmmm Some reason I thought you were going to do a lot more it’s only been four hours and you only did about half a quarter of these weeds. Definitely not built for hard work are ya? Hehe” I sit there, panting, extremely exhausted, and managed to wheeze out.

“S..s..shut up y.you cow pony want to wanna be…. Huff huff.” I pant heavily. Without warning, she Trots up to me, looming over me and staring daggers at me with what appears like the most angry expression I have seen on her.

“ we are going to get one thing clear you hear me and Cozy Glow! You will not disrespect me on my land. Do I make myself clear?” The sheer venom in her words, sent shivers down my spine, and I shrink in her gaze.

“Y..y…yes ma’am…..” I say, in a very sheepish voice, she nods her head and steps back a little.

“ very good anyhow, I think now it’s about time that you take a break follow me and you can have some lunch granny made you a sandwich. And then after I let you play with Apple bloom for about an hour before you go back to working on this here field.” She says, as I follow her back to the farm house. The mention Apple bloom sent eight tinge of guilt and sadness to my very core. I really didn’t want to talk to her right now or the Crusaders for that matter.
