A lone pegasus filly waits, trapped inside of a cage for somepony to buy her.

Oh, golly! My name is Cozy Glow! I've been living in another dimension! Yeah, they froze me in stone when I was a filly, but that wasn't the end of my story. In the other dimension, nopony had ever heard of me! I was free! But there was just one problem... The whole time, I felt this nagging sensation that I wasn't me! That it wasn't real or authentic and no matter what I did or who I spoke to, these feelings would just not go away...

Still, I kept on living my life there. I used my natural talent for manipulating ponies to provide me with the amenities of life, but those feelings would just not go away! Until one day, I was walking down the street in the other Ponyville, when I saw something... A window... I saw another world behind that window...

Suddenly, I knew where to go!

Melody, short for Melodic Heights, had come home from school just to leave again and run toward the cliff where the vast ocean sat. Under the warm light of the setting sun, Melody gets to talk to somepony she loves most.

Her mother.

The past can be a tricky thing. There may be pieces of it that you wish you could erase, or others you desperately want to relive just one more time. In the end, all you can do is move forward.

Because while the past is written in stone, immovable and irreplaceable, the future is being shaped like puddy. And before it dries, you'll have time to leave your mark.

Twilight gazed out into the evening ocean, her mind full of questions that had no answers. Why couldn't she stop it? Why couldn't she save her friends?
