Something's wrong with Twilight's new student, the redeemed villain Starlight Glimmer

Even though Starlight been forgiven for everything she's done and been made a member of Twilight's distinguished circle of friends, something's obviously troubling her. Even a Pinkie Party thrown in her honor isn't enough to cheer her up.

Troubled, Twilight has a little mare-to-mare chat with her new friend/student, only to be bushwhacked by a simple question: "Why?"

Everything was set to be a perfect day in Ponyville; the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and timberwolves were loose in Ponyville's town square. Luckily, as always, the Elements of Harmony were there to save the day at the expense of leaving Starlight Glimmer and the picnic she had planned for them all, alone to just sit and watch them from the sidelines.
Again.
It's hard not to feel left out when your best friends fight creatures and travel Equestria without you.
Thankfully, Starlight Glimmer has a little help from someone who knows all too well what it's like.

Starlight Glimmer goes to the market to buy things and make new friends.

Both of those things are made incredibly difficult by the ponies at the market.

Starlight Glimmer is TRYING to be a good friend, but she just has this awful tendency to overreact at just about anything.

Like trying to rule over an entire village of brainwashed ponies because a friend moved away.
