//------------------------------// // Cozy Glow talks to Counselor Starlight Glimmer // Story: An Innocent Glow:Talking To Counselor Starlight // by CozyGlow57 //------------------------------// At the School of Friendship , Starlight Glimmer was sitting in her office and reading a book. It was eleven in the morning and it was Saturday which meant there were no classes. She had just finished the third chapter of her book when she heard a knock on her door. She marked the page she was on , closed the book and got up to open the door. When she opened the door, she gestured for Cozy Glow, who had been standing in the doorway , to come inside. "Hello Cozy. Can I get you a comfort pillow?" Starlight Glimmer said , after she and Cozy Glow had sat down "Security blanket? Empathy cocoa?" "Hi Counselor Starlight!" Cozy Glow said "I just need to talk about something. Empathy cocoa would be nice though." "Ok , Cozy" Starlight Glimmer said as she handed Cozy Glow a cup of empathy cocoa "What do you want to talk about?" "The magic draining incident." Cozy Glow said , obviously very hesitant "Is that okay?" "Of course it is , Cozy." Starlight Glimmer replied "Go on. I'm listening." "Well I think I might have accidentally helped Patty Peppermint with her evil plan." Cozy Glow admitted , sipping her empathy cocoa. "Why would you think that?" Starlight Glimmer asked , also sipping her empathy cocoa "But go on Cozy. I'm still listening to you." "Well I was the one who recalled that we had learned about Tirek in class and Headmare Twilight and her friends going to Tartarus was very important for Patty Peppermint's plan to work at all." Cozy Glow replied "Besides if Headmare Twilight and her friends hadn't left,she wouldn't have been able to trap you." "Cozy… None of that is your fault. The fact that you recalled learning about Tirek in class means that you paid attention in class. Also , I am pretty sure that if you hadn't recalled it ,Twilight or one of the others would have come to the conclusion that Tirek might be the one stealing all of the magic in Equestria anyway." Starlight Glimmer said "And if they hadn't Patty Peppermint would have given them that idea herself. Like you said,Twilight and her friends going to Tartarus was very important for her plan to work at all." "Thank you Counselor Starlight but what about that fake letter she wrote?" Cozy Glow said "I should have been able to realise it was fake." "Do you mean that letter she gave you which was supposedly written by me?" Starlight Glimmer asked her . "Golly,yes,I meant that fake letter that she gave me." Cozy Glow said . "I've seen that letter and it was written very well. Patty Peppermint forged my handwriting perfectly." Starlight Glimmer said "I don't blame you or the other students for thinking it was real." "Counselor Starlight?" Cozy Glow asked . "Yes Cozy?" Starlight Glimmer said . "If you don't mind me asking , how did Patty Peppermint even trap you inside the magical sphere in the first place?" Cozy Glow asked " I know she pushed you in but that's all I know about it." "It's okay , Cozy. I can't blame you for being curious." Starlight Glimmer said "After you left when we had gotten done planing my schedule as temporary headmare , Patty Peppermint came into my office , saying that she had found something I needed to see. I was very curious so I followed her. She led me into the catacombs and towards the magic sphere. Before I could say anything she immediately pushed me into it." "Oh,ok. How did you feel when you were trapped there , Counselor Starlight?" Cozy Glow asked "Golly , it must have been very lonely in there." "It was very lonely in there" Starlight Glimmer admitted "The fact that Patty Peppermint visited me just to taunt me didn't help." "I know she visited you." Cozy Glow admitted "Me , Sandbar and the Cutie Mark Cursaders followed her down there when she visited you. We overheard all the things she said to you." "Oh , right." Starlight Glimmer said . "So what were you doing before I came in here , Counselor Starlight?" Cozy Glow asked . "Oh, I was reading a book."Starlight Glimmer said . "Which book?" Cozy Glow asked. Starlight Glimmer levitated the book from her desk and showed it to Cozy Glow . "I started reading that book this morning." Cozy Glow said "Which chapter are you on , Councellor Starlight?" "Chapter 3." Starlight Glimmer said "Which chapter are you on , Cozy ?" "Chapter 10. I think I'll finish the book tomorrow evening." Cozy Glow said "Councellor Starlight,is it bad that I feel sorry for Patty Peppermint?" "No it isn't , Cozy." Starlight Glimmer said . "Do you think Patty Peppermint will be able to escape Tartarus?" Cozy Glow asked her . "I don't think so." Starlight Glimmer said "The security in Tartarus was upgraded after the incident. She will be in there for a long time." "Oh thank Celestia!" Cozy Glow exclaimed. Then they heard a knock on the door. Cozy Glow got up and opened it. The Cutie Mark Cursaders were standing behind the door. "There you are,Cozy!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed . "We have been looking for you all over the school." Scootaloo said . "Sorry girls but I needed to talk to Counselor Starlight." Cozy Glow said "How did you know I was here anyway?" "Sandbar told us he saw you flying towards Counselor Starlight's Office." Apple Bloom said "A carnival just came into town." "A carnival!?" Cozy Glow exclaimed " Golly,that sounds amazing!" "Do you want to go there with us?" Scootaloo asked . "Of course I do!" Cozy Glow said . "Come on then , let's go!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed. Cozy Glow turned towards Starlight Glimmer, as if she was waiting for her approval. She wasn't. "Do you want to come to the carnival too?" Cozy Glow asked Starlight Glimmer. "No,thanks. I'll stay here and read my book." Starlight Glimmer said " You girls have fun at the carnival!" "Thanks Starlight!" The four fillies exclaimed in unision as they ran out Starlight's Office. Starlight watched them until they were out of sight and smiled. Then she closed the door , sat down and started reading the third chapter on a book with a smile on her face.
