//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 - Reconnecting // Story: Glimmer & Glow // by Yosh-E-O //------------------------------// Cozy Glow was in a full tantrum as Starlight placed her upon Trixie’s wagon. “What’s the meaning of this?” she barked. “Did the Princess Of Friendship have second thoughts on sending a filly to Tartarus?” “Actually,” Starlight answered somberly. “Twilight knows nothing about me breaking you out of Tartarus.” Cozy’s features narrowed. “Are you turning against her?” she asked with a grin. “I always knew you had it in for Twilight and her lackeys.” “Quite the firecracker,” remarked Trixie. “My parents wouldn’t stand if I behaved in such a way. They’d be like, ‘Trixie! You better stop that right now before we cancel your trip to Magic Camp!’.” Cozy gasped. “Trixie…?” she asked. “The ‘reformed’ magician who corrupted herself with The Alicorn Amulet so she could exile Twilight Sparkle?” “Starlight?” grumbled the blue Unicorn. “How does she know about that?” Starlight gave a nervous smile and laughed in a way that showed her discomfort. “Twilight’s classes focus on understanding how friendships were made along with history on magical artifacts and events,” she replied. “The Alicorn Amulet came up as one of the topics and, well, so did you and how you reformed.” The foal Pegasus with the curly mane decided to make a break for it by taking flight. PSSHEW “Oh, no, Cozy!” snapped Starlight as she brought the pink-coated filly back down. “We’re not finished yet.” “Golly,” she said smugly. “So you broke me out of Tartarus to bore me to death with more friendship lessons?” The periwinkle-coated Unicorn shook her head. “No,” she replied with a sigh. “It’s more to, uh, reconnect?” “Reconnect?” Cozy snapped. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Starlight looked towards Trixie and gave a nod in which the illusionist returned. PSSHEW Starlight levitated a magical ring from her bag that slid down Trixie’s horn. “Here goes,” she said. “Here what goes?” inquired Cozy as starlight closed her eyes and focused on utilizing her mystical powers to cast a youth spell on herself. FWOOSH! “What?” Cozy gasped upon seeing the filly-sized Starlight. “You? I… I know you…” “You do,” a more high-pitched speaking Starlight replied while scraping her hoof upon the ground. “I created you.”
