In the episode "A Canterlot Wedding", we see everyone treat Twilight Sparkle rather shabbily, and when she's proven to be right, no one apologizes to her - not even Princess Celestia. How might this have affected Twilight?

After defeating Tirek, and life almost returning to normal. Princess Twilight has some questions to ask her former mentor some questions about the battle.

This is not meant to be an overarching storyline. There will be no conflict, no resolution. It is simply a discussion between two ponies that share a deep and comfortable familial love for each other borne on spending much time together. The story is meant to share a thought I had about why Twilight and Tirek were so evenly matched. The following story just follows their time together in a natural way, the way it would play out in the real world.

There comes a time in every life where parents have to watch their children grow up and become something great. For Twilight Velvet and Night Light, this is no exception as their daughter Twilight Sparkle is to become a princess of Equestria. But, they must always remember that Twilight will forever be their daughter, no matter what position she holds.

Even in the shadow of death, love and friendship will always prevail . . . or does it? Find out when a monstrous beast invades Ponyville and injures Equestria's favorite new princess - Twilight Sparkle - which sends her into a coma that could take her away from her friends. Will Twilight succumb to her injuries, or will her friends succumb to their depression even quicker?

Note: This fanfic borrows elements from a previous story similarly titled "My Faithful Student", which was taken down from this site for unknown reasons. I would certainly credit the original author of the story if I could remember their username. If they are out there somewhere, this is just to show how much I appreciated their amazing storytelling.
