She hatched him. She raised him. When Twilight invites her mother to the castle on Mother's Day, she expects to please her mother, and give her a thanks for all she's done. And little does she know...
she deserves one too.

Featured 9/21/14!!!! SO HAPPY (and it's my first story on FiMFiction too)!!!!

Parents and children argue, it's a natural occurrence. Although, for Spike and Twilight Sparkle, enough is enough. Neither dragon nor pony can stand it any longer. Spike leaves and says he'll never come back . . . What will happen to the Princess of Friendship?

I'd like to thank Lopito-Loopsona, Fracturedheart and the lovely VitalSpark for editing and proofreading this for me. Thanks, guys, it really means a lot.

Twilight Sparkle: Respected student of Celestia, Princess of Friendship, and a Vampony to boot. Her mother trained her, just like her grandma trained her mother. Now, she is on the hunt for a pony and this pony is Starlight Glimmer. Let's hope Twilight isn't too thirsty.

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.

It was a bright sunny day when Princess Celestia was taken from us by three very familiar fillies... Or was she?

Idea from Rated Ponystar and Edited by Jumbled

It turns out that Sunset Shimmer's final letters to Princess Celestia before her exile were not filled with resentment or remorse.

There might have been a lot more frantic running away involved.

But whatever the case, it was definitely not Sunset's fault.

At all.

She is the light in the darkness. The giver to the poor. The strength to the weak.

She is Scootaloo, the orphan that Ponyville deserves.

And no swarm of evil will ever stop her from doing her duty.

Despite similarities, this story is not related to The Magic of Orphan Cookies.

This story is a sequel to I Chose You

Trust is a funny thing.

Why hadn't she trusted her parents? Her brother? Her sister-in-law?

Why was she so afraid to tell them the truth?

Why couldn't she just tell them that she loved mares? Loved Rainbow Dash?

Fear is a funny thing.
