Finals had just finished up at the School of Friendship, which meant that the weekend was wide-open for the relieved students on campus. However, since the recent actions of Cozy Glow still lingered guilt across the student body, a group of students decided to take take advantage of their newfound freedom with a gracious visit. They were hoping to find the Student Six in their dorm rooms so they could present a thoughtful gift, and some much-needed apologies for their involvement with the sadistic filly. Unfortunately, the group were only met with Smolder when they tried to state their case.

And to make matters worse, the dragon did not seem too keen on accepting their forgiveness right off the bat.

Can Turquoise and her friends manage to break through Smolder's gruff exterior and prove their atonement? Or is there a deeper reason for the dragoness' resistance to their claims?

Around a year ago, you were found unconscious in some reeds by the bank of Ponyville's river. With very little intact memories and nowhere else to go, Twilight Sparkle took you under her wing at the castle. She and Spike quickly became your found family in this new world. It helped that you fit right in with your voracious reading habit, almost enough to rival Twilight's. "Reader the Human" became your name over time and you saw a counselor, Mrs. Tendercare, about the issues that followed you through whatever portal took you here.

Now, you fight against your own negative self-talk as you do the taboo, and ask Twilight for a hug.

Izzy likes hanging out with her new friends, especially Zipp. She's learned so many new things from her, like that Pegasi don't hatch from eggs.

Written for the lovely Angel Midnight for Jinglemas 2021. Your prompt convinced me to think about two characters I don't normally think about in a whole new light, and I'm honestly very thankful for that. I suppose teaching me to appreciate something a bit more is your Christmas gift to me, eh?

All of my thanks to Stinium for helping me edit this story.
