What time is it?

CRACK!

The first thing Cozy Glow could feel was a soft breeze against her coat. It felt as though it had been centuries since she could feel anything (which it may have been, Cozy wasn't too sure), her wings lifted her into the air as she could finally feel the cool breeze against her coat. Although, Cozy forgot about the other two creatures that had been turned to stone along with her until she heard a loud and menacing growl nearby. Cozy nearly crashed back down towards the ground at the sudden noise before she looked over to see who it was.

"Fuck! I hit my damn hoof against this stupid podium!" the voice hissed, Cozy realizing it was Chrysalis. She heard another loud crack as Chrysalis raged and destroyed the podium below her and Tirek. As Cozy attempted to dodge the debris, she ended up getting hit by a few of the small stones that had broken off of the stone podium. Cozy let out a soft hiss at the pain, but ignored it.

"Golly, well while you're getting used to being able to move again, I'm going to go to Ponyville-" Cozy was cut off as an alicorn with a pink coat and blue and purple mane engulfed her inside her sunshine yellow magic and lifed her away from Tirek and Chrysalis before casting the two others back into their stoney prison.

"There ya go! Wow, you're so much cuter when you're not stone!" the alicorn exclaimed. "My name is Flurry Heart! Nopony would tell me your name when I asked, only said that you were 'too evil to give me your name'! You don't seem THAT evil! Also, did I mention you're cute?" She lifted Cozy higher up with her magic before flying up herself and getting level with Cozy before squeezing the pegasus into a tight hug.

Cozy gave Flurry Heart a weird look before asking, "What year is it? I feel like I've been stone for a millenia!" Flurry giggled before allowing the pegasus to fly on her own. Cozy took a second to get used to flying again by climbing onto Flurry's head and flapping her wings a few times.

Flurry silently complained as Cozy got onto her head, but let the pegasus do whatever just as long as she got herself back into the air. "Well, it's (xxxx), my 15th birthday is in a few months! Say, can you hear while you're in a stone prison? Can you feel anything? Can you even SEE? CAN YOU THINK??" Flurry began overwhelming Cozy with questions about her encasement in stone, causing Cozy to attempt to fly as fast as she could to get away from the overexcited alicorn.

She looked back only to see Flurry flying upside-down and quickly gaining up on her. Cozy attempted to fly faster, her wing muscles aching at the sudden speed after so long. Cozy then realized Flurry was only going easy on her when she noticed the alicorn slowing down slightly and not seeing a bit of sweat or ache on her face or in her pride until Cozy couldn't fly any longer, her wings giving up on her mid-flight.

Flurry flew as fast as she could to catch Cozy in time, but when the pegasus fell through her hooves she lit up her horn and once again engulfed Cozy in the yellow glow of her magic, carefully bringing her down to the dirt streets of Ponyville and landed beside her.

"Golly, you're quite fast! Is it because you're an alicorn?' Cozy Glow asked, tucking her wings to her back to give her muscles a rest. Flurry only giggled in response.

The alicorn then made a thinking gesture with her hoof. "Hmmm, what if we go visit my Auntie Twily back in the Canterlot Castle? I'm sure she wouldn't mind, especially when I introduce you as my new friend! That reminds me, what's your name?"

Cozy wrapped her small wings around herself, clearly becoming anxious. "Well, my name is Cozy Glow, but Professor Sparkle hates me after I tried to steal all of the magic from Equestria!"

Flurry flinched at the pegasus' sudden confession, not expecting that to have been the crime she had committed to be turned to stone. She didn't respond, only surrounding Cozy in her magic once again and flying off to Canterlot Castle.

"Wait! I thought I said this would be a BAD idea!" Cozy shrieked, her hooves flailing around in the empty air and hitting the magic surrounding her.

"I won't let Auntie turn you back into stone, promise! If I tell her about my plan of reforming you, maybe she would let me!" Flurry spoke, lifting herself and Cozy higher into the air around them.


"Halt!" commanded one of the royal guards, causing Cozy Glow to freeze into place as though she was stone once again. "Why are you bringing a dangerous criminal here, Princess Flurry Heart?"

Flurry giggled, "Oh come on! She won't hurt anypony! I wanna tell Auntie Twily I wanna reform her! To be her friend!"

The guard gave Cozy a fierce look that clearly said "Don't fuck anything up" before allowing the pair to pass through the entrance to the castle.

Flurry suddenly used her magic and teleported the two right in front of Princess Twilight Sparkle, the current ruler over Equestria. The princess shrieked at the sudden sight before baring her teeth at Cozy.

"Cozy Glow! What are you doing here?! Flurry Heart, get away from the-" Twilight was cut off when Flurry got in front of Cozy, keeping Twilight from being able to hit the pegasus with any magic.

"No, Auntie! I wanna reform Cozy! I wanna be her friend! Also, you'll be happy I made sure the other two were still stone!" Flurry told her aunt, her wings opening up in front of Cozy's face, earning her an annoyed grunt of disapproval from the pegasus.

Twilight glared at her niece, "You want to REFORM her?! Flurry, she's tried to destroy Equestria TWICE! Once by trying to steal all of the magic from Equestria, then forming a team with Chrysalis and Tirek and ruining my coronation!" Cozy's ears flattened to the side of her head, finally realizing what she had done was a little too evil after having so much time to think.

Flurry continued to keep Twilight away from Cozy before saying something she may regret sooner or later,

"What if I told you I like her?"
