"I want to hear a new one," Celestia said coughing.

"Whys that?" Derpy asked.

"I want it to be special," Celestia said.

"I have one but I don't know if I should sing it to you two," Derpy said.

"Sing it please," Celestia said.

"All your songs are good," Luna said.

"Once did a pony who shone like the moon lookout and sigh, she smiled and said surely there is no pony as feared as I. So fearful she was all were the shadow she cast, which fell upon the sister she loved and grew only darker as days and nights passed. Soon did that pony take away her heart. Then her sister watched her unhappiness grow. They never knew how much they were loved." Derpy sang.

"Is this true?" Celestia said.

"Sadly yes," Derpy said.

"Who were they?" Luna asked.

"Your old foal sitter and her sister," Derpy said.

"Are they still alive?" Luna asked.

"Yes," Derpy said.

"Is our old foal sitter going to visit us?" Luna asked.

"I won't lie I doubt she will come," Derpy said.

"Oh ok," Luna said.

Tirek came running in crying his eyes out.

"What's wrong?" Derpy asked.

"I just needed to get out of there," Tirek said.

"Learning too much about the past isn't good," Derpy said.

"There's something she hasn't told you," Tirek said.

"What is it?" Derpy asked.

"Apparently Celestia was supposed to become evil but Sweetie Belle believed it would be better for everyone if Luna became evil instead," Tirek said.

"I can't believe it. She should've talked to me and ask for my permission." Derpy said angrily.

"I want you to continue singing," Celestia said.

"Not right now," Derpy said.

"Nosing a song right now," Celestia said.

"I will later," Derpy said.

"What caused Sweetie Belle to be the way she is?" Tirek asked.

"I don't know all I know after she took away her heart she changed," Derpy said.

"Is there anyone else still living that knew her when she had a heart?" Tirek said

"Yes, Gorgar," Derpy said.

"Anyone else?" Tirek asked.

"Not really," Derpy said.

"What's going on?" Luna asked.

"The battle of good vs. evil is a battle that has been going once since before either of you to was born. That's the reason I left you and your sister." Derpy said.

Celestia's eyes closed and she stopped breathing. Derpy and Minuette ran over to the side of her bed.

"I'm going to leave so you can be alone," Tirek said before leaving the room.

"Can't you cast the revival spell?" Luna asked.

"It's forbidden but I will try," Minuette said.

"A life for a life is the price," Derpy said.

"I'm willing to pay that price," Minuette said.

"No, let the sacrifice be me," Derpy said.

"Don't you need to keep fighting the battle?" Minuette asked.

"It doesn't matter if I'm there or not because it will never end," Derpy said.

"Ok, if you say so," Minuette said.

"Wait!" Rainbow shouted flying towards them.

"What is it?" Derpy asked.

"The spell is too dangerous," Rainbow said.

"There's no other choice," Derpy said.

"When there are side effects they are spell is terrible," Rainbow said.

"We know," Minuette said.

"Then let me do it. There is a potion version of the spell if the actual spell doesn't work." Rainbow said.

"You've done this before haven't you?" Derpy said.

"Yes," Rainbow said.

"What's your real name?" Derpy asked.

"Iris was one of my many names," Rainbow said.

"That doesn't answer the question," Derpy said.

"I don't want to reveal who I am just yet," Rainbow said.

Derpy nodded her head understanding what Rainbow meant.

"Why do this?" Derpy asked.

"You need peace but killing yourself so your daughters can live is not the answer," Rainbow said.

"Can you stop Luna from dying?" Derpy asked.

"I can try," Rainbow said.

"What was your original special talent?" Derpy asked.

"I rather not speak of it," Rainbow said.

"Why?" Derpy asked.

"I failed that's why," Rainbow said.

"What do you mean?" Derpy asked.

"I failed at bringing peace," Rainbow said.

"What do you mean?" Derpy asked.

"I was supposed to bring Malice and Belle closer but all I did was make everything worse," Rainbow said.

"Please tell me who you are," Derpy said.

"Naima," Rainbow said.

"What does it mean?" Derpy asked.

"It means comfort, peace and belonging to no one," Rainbow said.

In Ponyville...

"I love you Vel." Snowflake said.

"I love you too." Red Velvet said.

"Just kiss already!" Cadence shouted.

"Are you alright?" Chrysalis said.

"Yes," Cadence said.

"Snowy, I don't want to harm you." Red Velvet said.

"Kiss!" Cadence shouted.

"You have a problem," Chrysalis said.

''No I don't," Cadence said.

"Grant me the power of sight." Snowflake said.

"Sure thing." Red Velvet said before lighting her horn and sending a beam of magic at Snowflake.

"Vel?" Snowflake asked.

"Yes." Red Velvet said.

"You are even more beautiful than I thought you were." Snowflake said.

"Kiss! Kiss!" Cadence chanted.

"Seriously?" Chrysalis asked.

Red Velvet kissed Snowflakes lips causing both of them to blush.

"Adorable," Cadence said.

Fluttershy stared at Sweetie Belle with a mixture of anger and sadness in her eyes. Sweetie Belles eyes held no emotion at all.


Long ago when Equestria was young lived twin sisters their names where Belle and Malice.

"Sis, I made an actual friend." Malice said happily.

"How?" Belle said.

"She saw that I was lonely and asked if we could be friends." Malice said.

"Does she know who you are the sister of?" Belle asked.

"Yes, but she doesn't care about that." Malice said.

"She's just going to use you if you are her friend," Belle said.

"No, she won't." Malice said.

"I'm just looking out for you," Belle said.

"I can take care of myself just fine." Malice said.

"You're too innocent," Belle said.

"Why did you suddenly change?" Malice asked.

"You are too young," Belle said.

"We are the same age." Malice said.

Belle scratched her sister's face and blood dripped on her hooves. Malice backed away slowly.

"Go away!" Belle demand.

"See you later then." Malice said as she left the room.

Once the door was closer Belle flipped open a book and chanted the words to remove her heart.

"Feelings are for the weak," Belle said to herself.

Malice opened the door slowly and saw her sister put her heart in a box.

"Um...." Malice said.

"I order you to kill that pony that claims to be your friend," Belle said.


Back to the present...

"Why did you turn darker before you removed your heart?" Fluttershy asked.

"I didn't. I was trying to protect you from your own innocence." Sweetie Belle said.

"Look where that ended us!" Fluttershy said angrily.

"If I didn't do the things I did things today would be terrible." Sweetie Belle said.

"Why not let things happen the way they're supposed to?" Fluttershy asked.

"Why would I let the future be filled with nightmares?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"If you didn't shut me out maybe things would be better," Fluttershy said.

"You're my foil. You are what I might become someday." Stormy said.

"Hopefully, you stay who you are," Fluttershy said.

"I believe you can become good again," Stormy said.

"I wish, I still had that hope in me. But that hope dyed out when I learned that my sister would never forgive me." Fluttershy said.

"I know you have goodness in your heart," Stormy said.

"Stop this nonsense. There is no goodness in her heart." Sweetie Belle said.

It started to thunder. The lightning lit up the sky that was right above Sweetie Belle and Fluttershy.

"I wish that the spell or potion had worked," Derpy said flying towards the ground with Rainbow.

"I know and I'm sorry," Rainbow said.

"At least the potion you made for Luna worked," Derpy said.

"I don't know why it didn't work on Celestia," Rainbow said.

"You can never change. You will always be a monster." Sweetie Belle said.

"I stood by your side even after all you did. I killed the first real friend I ever had for you." Fluttershy said crying.

"Actually you didn't," Rainbow said.

"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked.

"I'm here," Rainbow said.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Fluttershy asked.

"After you attempted to kill me. I realized that I couldn't help you as much as I wanted to." Rainbow said.

"So you tried to help me from the sidelines," Fluttershy said.

"Yep," Rainbow said.

"Stop acting as you care." Sweetie Belle said.

"It seems like she cares about me more than you ever did," Fluttershy said.

"I shouldn't have let you believe that I had dyed that day," Rainbow said.

"Your friendship even though it was short is what brightens me when I'm down," Fluttershy said.

"I truly am sorry Mal," Rainbow said.

"It's not your fault," Fluttershy said.

Stormy flew over to Fluttershy with a small smile.

"I know who I am now," Stormy said.
