Making Amends after the End

Prologue: At the Donut Shop

After the events of ‘The Ending of the End’ the Mane Six were happily sharing a laugh as they finish their donuts. They really could use a peaceful break after all they went through trying to save Equestria from Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow.


“Those donuts were delicious! I ate so much that I bet that there’s no room for Apple Family’s dinner tonight.” Applejack commented about the said treats.

“They were nice, just what I needed after all that’s happened.” Fluttershy said in her usual warm tone.

“Plus, they’re perfect for a party!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed in her crazy tone.

“They are certainly divine!” Rarity described, using her catchphrase for describing something that she finds perfect.

“It’s been forever since I last ate those donuts, I’m glad you picked this Donut Shop, Twilight.” Rainbow Dash told the was-going-to-be ruler of Equestria, Princess Twilight Sparkle.

“It was nothing,” Twilight replied, “I just thought that this is the best way to celebrate the defeat of the three villains, and how grateful everything is with Equestria saved.”

“And speaking of villains, I can’t believe that Discord thought that bringing them back will boost your confidence,” Applejack commented, while talking to Twilight.

“And Sombra!” Pinkie Pie added.

“Now that you mentioned it, I do realise how much trouble Discord was!” Rarity angrily exclaimed.

“Yeah. I mean, King Sombra nearly brainwashed all of Equestria, then Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow almost let Equestria get completely frozen by the Windigos, and they would have killed us if it weren’t for our top friendship students,” Rainbow Dash pointed out.

“No offence, really.” Spike the dragon added, “But I don’t think that helping us escape was enough to make up for the whole villain attack thing.”

Fluttershy felt terrible to hear what all of her best friends had to say about Discord.

“Fluttershy!” Twilight cried out, “Are you okay, you don’t look so well...”

“I don’t feel so well, either.” Fluttershy responded, “I feel awful knowing what you all had to say about a friend.”


“Seriously? Discord just put all of Equestria in danger twice! And those villain attacks would not even happen if it weren’t for him!” Rainbow pointed out.

And that King Sombra he brought back not so long ago forced us to fight all of our Ponyville and Canterlot friends! Including my beloved Fancy Pants!Rarity cried out, before letting tears flow out from her eyes.

“Fighting my family is the one thing I’d never do!” Applejack pointed out, “And I’m glad I didn’t have to, otherwise I’d feel so different around them nowadays, or can barely forgive myself for having to hurt them.”

“And I can’t imagine needing to fight the Cake Twins, which I’m glad that never happened, because I can’t imagine myself hurting such adorable innocent babies!” Pinkie Pie declared in a crazy tone.

“You two are lucky that you didn’t have to face off your loved ones when Sombra’s got them.” Rainbow Dash told the Earth Ponies, “I had to outfly and face the Wonderbolts! My long-life personal heroes!”

“Being brainwashed is totally not cool,” Spike commented, “Even though I could not control myself, I knew what I did, and it was awful!”

“And the worst-of-all-time main point is:” Rarity angrily began, before dramatically crying out loud, “NONE of that, nor today’s villain attack events would even exist if it weren’t for DISCORD!”

“Enough!” Fluttershy shouted, ending the unpleasant conversation about Discord.“I know you are all upset, but let’s not forget that we can be very forgiving. Plus, Discord did, in the end, helped prevent the villains from causing anymore trouble.” she pointed out.

“But he’s the one reason that there were villain trouble in the first place!” Rarity argued.

“Brainwashing almost all of Equestria?” Rainbow reminded.

“Almost let Equestria fall apart?” Applejack continued.

“And worst of all, almost finished us!” Pinkie Pie concluded dramatically.

“I’m so sorry, Fluttershy,” Twilight approached the yellow pegasus, “But I’m afraid that every creature has a point. Causing major villain attack disasters that almost destroyed Equestria twice is an extremely terrible crime, despite the good intentions. When you want to achieve something good, the way you achieve it counts as well, in other words, both your intention and method have to b good. In this case, using a horribly dangerous method is not any good. I’m afraid we’re going to have to confront Discord and decide some consequences.”

Fluttershy’s expression immediately transformed from concerned into scared after hearing what Twilight had to say.
