The worst part of a betrayal is often not the act itself, but everything that lingers after. Trying to piece together the motivations of someone you once trusted, sifting through memories for some sign you might have missed.

Wondering if, somehow, they had a good reason behind it all.

Seeking closure, Twilight tries to find answers in Cozy Glow's abandoned possessions, but the truth she discovers is one that will make her question everything.

Written for the 3rd Annual Cozy Glow Short Story Contest.

Prompts used:
-Twilight Sparkle gathers Cozy’s belongings for disposal. One object surprises her.
-Cozy’s got a secret!

Years after the attack on Canterlot and the petrification of Cozy Glow, all hope for her seemed lost until one fateful day when a young, friendly voice called out to her consciousness inside her stone imprisonment. With the help of her new friend, Cozy decides to learn her lesson and give true friendship an honest try.

Spike has survived the strain of daily life to find himself empty inside. Proven a worker, a friend, and a proper dragon—that search for 'something' never ends. Finally, on being led by a feeling, he winds up before Princess Celestia without a reason.

One lonely night, Starlight decides to release Cozy Glow from her stony prison, and plans to let out some of her frustrations on the vile filly until she discovers that Cozy Glow can't seem to remember who she is anymore, or much of anything else from her past.

Could this be yet another trick conjured up by this scheming pegasus? Can she really be trusted?

Cozy Glow and Princess Celestia have a history together. One that no pony could ever imagine.

This is a backstory I decided to make for Cozy Glow, since we never got to know anything about her past. I'm planning on using this backstory in another fan fiction I'm going to write called "The Ending of The End Part 3" because I want to make a version where the villains reform.

Reminder: For those of you who have already read the story, this wasn't created to write Celestia dirty, and it wasn't to give her bad writing. It was mainly focused on giving Cozy a motivation for her evil actions. So if you don't like it because of the writing for Celestia, please don't berate me about it in any way.

The older pony had a chart with arrow pointing up upon a notebook. The younger pony didn’t have a cutie mark yet in this drawing as she smiled without a seeming care in the world.
Cosy sighs as she flattens the picture more with her hoof to see more crayon markings of curd word labeling the age, she drew the drawing at three years of age. She huffed as she began to let her mind wonder of a different life; before the cave and Tartarus, before Twilight’s school…
Before Cosy Glow.

While Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow try to figure out how to activate the bell, Grogar sets out to the Castle of the Two Sisters to confront the spirit of the Tree of Harmony.

Spike, missing when he was younger, dreams of a happy carefree time when he was a hatchling. With a little help from Luna of course.

Rainbow Dash and Spike compete for a job at Quills and Sofas, in order to get a free sofa. However, neither of them really knows much about the proper selling of sofas.
