The Cutie Mark Crusaders had soon made their way over to Fluttershy's house. Fortunately, there weren't any tears leaking under the door like yesterday. The fillies knocked on the door and who should answer it but Fluttershy's rabbit Angel who maintained a hateful glare at the trio. Behind her, Fluttershy was still on her couch crying in misery. Thankfully, though, her tears had died down since. She looked up as the CMC passed a copy of the apology letter unto Angel whose expression changed to surprise. Upon reading the fine print, the feisty little rabbit quickly dashed back inside and gave it to Fluttershy to read. After reading the letter, Fluttershy stepped outside with a warm, forgiving smile and hugged the fillies all at once.
"We're sorry, Fluttershy," said Sweetie Belle.
"It's okay," replied Fluttershy in her naturally sweet, soft-spoken voice. "I forgive you all."
The young trio nearly leaked tears of joy.
"Thanks," said Scootaloo as they pulled out of the shy pegasus' embrace.
Then Apple Bloom had a thought. "I don't suppose you'd have a li'l confession to make yourself, huh?"
Fluttershy looked confused. "Why do you ask?" she asked.
"Well, you see," explained Scootaloo, "when we delivered Rainbow Dash her own copy of the letter, she admitted herself to being, uh... 'hypocritical' about the whole thing."
"Yeah," added Sweetie Belle, "we've figured just now that everypony who enjoyed these stories got real upset when they found stories about them."
Fluttershy looked down in guilt. "Oh, yes," she cooed remorsefully. "Now that I think about it, I guess I'm just as in the wrong as you three were. I'm sorry."
"That's alright, Fluttershy," chirped Apple Bloom. "We forgive ya, too."
Fluttershy smiled gratefully. "Oh, thank you!" she crooned, hugging the fillies once more. Then she had a thought herself. "Maybe I should talk to Angel about this..."
