Starlight is now on the path to reformation, but judging from her behavior as of late, it'd seem she still has quite a ways to go. It's become apparent to Twilight and her friends that Starlight is having a difficult time letting go of her questionable ideals about friendship. But they won't give up on her, not yet anyway.

However, Starlight's greatest challenge in changing herself for the better has now reared its head in the form of Laughingstock; a pony whose cutie mark she took but failed to convert to her ideology back in her village. He's now in Ponyville, desperate for work as his cutie mark is still mysteriously missing. As imagined, he's not happy with Starlight in the slightest. After all, living without a cutie mark but bearing one that reminds him of just who did this to him would make anyone mad.

Not helping is the fact that Starlight doesn't seem to feel too sorry about it.

Rated T for language and unfortunate circumstance.

What if Starlight Glimmer saw through the Mane 6's ruse? After all, she had dealt with such plots before, and she's absolutely confident that she can reach out to the yellow mare that her friends are using for their insidious means.

(Author's note: this is my attempt at a more subtle, realistic kind of mind control/hypnosis. Tell me how it is in the comments! All criticism helps me get better. Also, I intended this as a one-shot, but I set this story to incomplete in case I may want to continue it.)

My name is Twilight Sparkle.
I am three hundred and seventy five years old.
Except for Spike, all my friends are dead...But not for long

Betrayed by Celestia, and isolated in her castle with only Spike for support, Twilight Sparkle enacts a powerful spell to reincarnate the element bearers through her own body.
Her friends will be reborn, and, with the trials of being a mother to her friends ahead of her, an unraveling secret from the past following her at every turn, and the possibility of a brand new life so close in reach, Twilight just might be reborn too.

This story takes place after the episode 'Secret of My Excess.' The greed in Spike's heart is still there, and eventually it takes over him. A few days later, Twilight Sparkle wakes up to find that Spike has missing. It turns out later that day that Rarity is also missing. After investigating, the mane six find out that Rarity and Spike were last seen going into the Everfree forest.

Twilight goes into the forest to save the two, and Applejack tags along because she is more worried about Rarity. However, what they discover is not what they had expected.
