A Long Road Ahead
Misunderstood words
Previous ChapterCozy Glow looked at Flurry Heart in shock. "What?! We JUST met! What do you mean you like me?"
Flurry's eyes darted between Cozy and Twilight, realizing she had just said something that has multiple different meaning than just the single one she intended. Twilight used her magic to levitate Flurry behind her before sending a beam of burning purple magic towards Cozy, an aggressive expression on both their faces. Fortunately, Flurry quickly recognized the danger and form a force field around the pegasus to protect her from Twilight's magic.
"Flurry Heart!" Twilight shouted at her niece. "Don't protect the damn enemy!"
Flurry flew in front of Twilight and spread her wings out in hopes to protect Cozy from Twilight's vicious attacks. "But I said I wanted to reform her! I believe there's still good inside of her!"
Twilight's wings spread out menacingly behind her, their humongous size sending a shiver down Cozy's spine. "Somepony who attempted to destroy Equestria twice no longer has any good inside them," she growled.
"Ugh! It seems as though all you care about is who I wanna be friends with right now!" Flurry snapped, startling Cozy at the sudden reaction. Flurry Heart created a shield around her and her new pegasus friend before blasting a large beam of magic at her aunt, fed up with Twilight's treatment towards Cozy Glow.
Twilight gasped before she defended herself with another ray of her own burning purple magic, canceling the two out. "Flurry! What are you doing?!" she hissed at her enraged niece. "I can't believe it! You used to be so kind, what happened to you?"
Flurry's blue and purple tail swished behind her angrily, hitting Cozy's face behind her a couple times by accident. "You don't get it! I don't have a single friend, and you know I have been visiting Cozy's statue in the garden since I was 10! Why can't you see that maybe I could help bring Cozy towards a better life, to redemption!" Flurry assumed a fighting stance. "But all you think about is how well I do in school! Well guess what, TWILIGHT, I don't give a flying FUCK about school! I just want a friend!"
"Language!" shouted Twilight, seemingly less worried about Flurry's outburst. "Did that stupid pegasus teach you that?"
"Actually, no," Flurry said. "Mom and Dad when they fought taught me those words, but that's not the point! The point is that I care about Cozy, unlike you obviously!"
Twilight flew above Flurry and Cozy, aiming another beam of magic at the pegasus before Flurry shot a ray of sunshine yellow magic at her instead. Twilight nearly was hit by Flurry's unpredicted attack until the pink alicorn flew high above her aunt and shot another beam of burning magic at her, hitting Twilight this time as Flurry threw herself onto her and knocking her aunt into the ground below them.
Flurry dug her teeth into Twilight's throat, gripping the fur tight. She heard Twilight gasp at the sudden pain and giggled menacingly. Flurry let go of her aunt's throat before using her magic to slam her into the furthest wall, grinning as she heard the loud THUD! as Twilight hit the wall.
"Flurry, wait!" Cozy shrieked, lifting herself off the ground and flying in front of her alicorn friend. "I think she's had enough!" Cozy used a hoof to point at a heavily breathing Twilight a few hoof steps away from them as she gasped for air.
Flurry's ears pinned themselves to her skull as she realized the damage she had done. "Sorry, Auntie. I guess I was a little mad that you wouldn't let me be friends with Cozy..."
Twilight shot her niece a look that clearly said "a LITTLE?" as she rose to her hooves, grunting in pain from being thrown into the castle wall. "I'm just not sure if she's the best pony to he friends with, after all she is a villain."
"But Twilight! She doesn't have to be! Your pupil Starlight tried to destroy the world before, right? So why should Cozy be any different?" Flurry was curious as to why her aunt believed Cozy couldn't be reformed even though she was a pony just like her.
Twilight never responded and only sent the pair away and telling Flurry Heart that now wasn't the best time to explain why Cozy Glow could never be redeemed.
Back at the Crystal Empire where Flurry Heart lived with her parents Princess Mi Amore Cadenza (more well know as Princess Cadence) and Shining Armor, Flurry lay in bed on her back as she thought hard about the other day about her fight with her aunt, Twilight. Cozy Glow say comfortably next to her, carefully preening her own wings.
"Are you bored? I'm bored," Flurry said in a flat tone, sighing.
Cozy stopped her preening and looked at her friend. "Well, if I'm honest, kinda. Your mom has kept you in this room because of me, she seemed just as pissed off as Twilight was about my return."
"Mhm, but can you really blame her? You sorta are supposed to be a super evil villain or something." Flurry sat up and turned over to lay on her stomach, her front hooves crossed over each other. Her coat contained a few burnt patches of fur from her fight with her aunt.
"Yeah, but not anymore! After all, I think I would rather do friendship than be stone for a few millennia!"
Flurry giggled, she enjoyed the company of her friend while she was grounded. If she was completely alone, she would have already blown up the whole castle!
Just after a few minutes of silence, the two could hear Flurry's parents outside the door.
"Shining, I know you don't like that I'm allowing that villain over to talk to Flurry Heart, but maybe this redemption thing will work!"
"But you know that filly is supposed to be stone right now, I don't even know why she freed that... that monster!"
"Will you shush? She may be a villain, but she's no monster! And besides, Flurry seems to like her! Would you really want to take that away from our daughter?"
"Well... no, but-
"Exactly! Flurry needs a friend, you know how lonely she is at school."
"But a villain? Isn't that a bit much?"
"Maybe, but can we really take away our little Flurry's first friend?"
"...No"
The conversation faded off as they got further from Flurry Heart and Cozy Glow. Flurry looked over at her pegasus friend to see her ears pinned to the sides of her head, seemingly devastated.
"It's okay, Cozy. I won't let them keep you away from me!" Flurry tried her best at a comforting tone, but she failed miserably as she noticed her friend burying herself under Flurry's bedsheets.
I'll make sure they never take you away from me... never.
