//------------------------------// // A Meeting with the Big Ones // Story: Silver Spoons' New Life // by ShadowFire1997 //------------------------------// Twilight is walking towards her castle when she sees a crowd in front of the refurbished jewelry shop and notices a pregnant girl in the center of the circle to only see it is Silver Spoon. Shadow Blast smiles at her wife as her and her co-workers all celebrated for this special occasion, however Twilight is not very happy about this and storms off towards her castle and angrily storms her library. "How dare she! How dare she!" Twilight goes on and on as she was constantly thinking on what to do with Silver Spoon. Spike is busy placing all her books in perfect alphabetic order when he sees Twilight entering her study room with a very fumed up expression. "Twi? You okay there?" Spike asks as he follows her to see what is going on but notices that she isn't answering him. Spike thinks that she might received bad news but he suddenly hears his name being called. "Spike! Call the girls. There is something we need to discuss about the safety of Ponyville!" Twilight says frustrated and angry, causing Spike to flinch and nods to call the girls as he walks to each ones' home individually. After about twenty minutes later, Spike returns with the rest of the main six as they all sit in Twilight's meeting room, all puzzled as to why Twilight wanted to see them about the safety of Ponyville. "What is so important that I had to stop my job and explain to my supervisor why you called, Twi?" Rainbow dash asks and looks over at her as she sits down. "Thank you all for coming to this very important meeting. We need to discuss about the safety of Ponyville for the sake of Celestia." Twilight starts as the rest of the girls sits down to hear what this about. Applejack and Fluttershy looks over at Twilight and they both are confused about this entire meeting. "Uhm Twilight? Why did you arrange a meeting about safety? Ponyville is completely safe for all ponies and other creatures of all kinds to visit." Fluttershy states as she notices Rarity sitting down. "Do pardon me twilight but you have to keep this meeting short because I have a big order to fill in for a very special customer." Rarity says as she starts to look around the room. "I have to get back to the Cakes to help with a very big celebration." Pinkie Pie says happily as she jumps around happily. "Ah have t' get back to the farm t' watch over Apple Bloom and her machines and things like that." Applejack says and looks at Fluttershy. "I have to feed the animals to welcome them back from hibernation." Fluttershy says and looks at Twilight. "We are talking about a serious crime here! Haven't you all seen the new shop being opened today?" Twilight says as she stares her friends down. The girls became very silent and lets her talk but this time Twilight wanted an answer from them all, to which the reply with no. "I thought so. She must've bargained with them to keep them quiet about this." Twilight said to herself and the girls hear this. "What do ya mean Sugarcube?" Applejack asks as she starts to catch on about what this is all about. "I'm sure you girls know about a certain prisoner who has been given a light sentence has come out a few weeks ago, correct?" Twilight asks as she looks at everyone, only to receive silence from Rarity and confused looks from the rest, until Spike and Applejack looks at her. "Silver Spoon?" Spike and Apple Jack asks in unison. The rest of the girls catches on but Rarity stays quiet as Twilight finally looks at the two. "Yes! Her!" Twilight says in such a way that she know they finally see the light but the response is extremely different. "What about her?" Spike asks and looks at the girls and then at Twilight. "Ah don' think she's causin' any trouble 'round Ponyville." Applejack says as she looks at Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. The three agrees with Spike and Applejack that Silver Spoon is not a threat or any harmful person but rather a very fragile girl who needs help and support to continue her daily live after what happened to her. "Don't you all see?! She brainwashed you all to believe she is innocent but I know she isn't! Here's why. Because number one, she makes lies to cover her bratty friend with all sorts of pranks to destroy our lives and two, she's going to start a new business to destroy us for believing in her! She wants us gone!!!" Twilight shouts at them. Fluttershy starts to hide under the table and Rainbow Dash laughs at Twilight, Applejack and Spike stare at her in disbelief. Pinkie's mane deflates and looks over at Rarity to see she hasn't responded at all. "I-I can't stay here anymore." Rarity says as she gets up to leave and has a few tears rolling down her cheeks, knowing fully how harshly she treat Silver Spoon the day she tries to apologize to Rarity. Twilight watched as Rarity leaves, then Pinkie, followed by Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash. Applejack looks at Twilight with a very hate-filled eyes filled with brutality but gives a sigh. "Ah remember how ya tried t' bring us down t' earth with yer schemes and we ain't judgin' ya. Why don' ya give Silver Spoon the same kind a' chance we gave you?" Applejack asks as she leaves Twilight with an unanswered question. Twilight suddenly looks up from her temper filled ant and notices all her friends left. She looks at Spike, who turns his back on her and walks off. "She's right, y'know? we all had second chances. Why doesn't Silver Spoon get one? Because you're too stubborn and hard-headed to realize that on your own. She gave a chance to explain but you shrugged her off as if she 's just waste of space. I hope you're happy because I know Celestia isn't." Spike says and leaves. A moment of silence surrounds the castle and Twilight looks at her hooves and then into the empty hallway as a tear runs down her cheek. "I-I......" Nothing comes out as she sits there, shocked, disappointed, and ashamed of her actions as she remains in the room and looks down.
