A few weeks passed and what I knew, Cozy knew too and vice versa Cozy became Twilight's friendship assistant, Twilight also offered me, but I decided that Cozy be the one who represents us and it was only a few days before the semester ends, the craze started Wednesday, my day started in the school library, and I found Silverstream, who was solving a crossword puzzle using a pencil, I was a little surprised because she was supposed to go on a field trip with his friends:
So I asked her “Hi Silverstream, I wouldn't want to scare you, but aren't you supposed to be on a field trip?”
Silverstream drops the pencil with great fright “Oh no! I'm going late!”
I keep calm and I tell her “Don’t worry, I will help you, I learned a teleportation spell, just look…”
Making the spell ( and yep, I learned the spells to the letter), I took my friend in the blink of an eye, just in time, since I did not know what to do the rest of the day, so I decided to read more spells and learn them where she was sitting.
My favorites were the possession, never use it, but I was waiting for the moment to do it, the spell was to touch the subject to possess and pass your soul and magic to him, which would give a few seconds so you can control it and use its magic consuming yours, the other was of replay, whatever I heard was going to be stored in the artifact and just connect to it and remember what I want to replay, and my favorite fun fact that I read, is that the oldest artifacts (which have more than thousand years) cannot be absorbed in any way, due to an overload of magic that they would have, but it would be said that it is exclusively with mine.
When I finished reading and enjoying my other gifts, I was seeing how they were things at school and I see through a door that Twilight and her friends had to go somewhere, leaving Starlight in charge, Twilight told me that she was going to Tartarus to find out what was happening, the strange thing is that when she left, she closed the door with the hooves, not with magic… so I went to consult my tree friend at night to know more about what the hay was happening.
“Tree of harmony ... I know you might worry about it, but what is happening up there?” I asked to nowhere on the caverns of before.
The tree of harmony appears to me as before “Fast, it's a terrible thing! all the magic is disappearing! the magic will go away completely on Friday night.”
I got surprised by that “It cannot be, Equestria without magic, it would be a misery, almost nothing could be done, Equestria would be left in chaos that would be impossible to recover!”
And the tree of harmony gives me bad news “I know who is behind this, I had to have told you something a long time ago ... the truth is ... Cozy, she had been using you for a long time and she is behind of thi...”
“No, no! I can show you that she isn’t! she couldn't kill a butterfly, nor as our friendship is.” I go for evidence.
“Go ahead, but you will not go far.” The Tree of harmony advised.
From there, I decided to look for evidence, that it was not true when I would have time, but there was nothing to prove his innocence on that day, then, they all went to sleep, but I had the worst nightmare possible.
That dream was scary: I was in a version of Ponyville where the world was an incredible apocalypse, people were fighting around and some were attacking mercilessly, but a mystical voice is heard that stops the fights and puts their head down and on stage Cozy Glow comes out in a white robe and a crown of leaves, step by my side and I rub my head like a puppy, I look at the horizon and the teachers were approaching, Cozy just extended her hoove towards them and the teachers ended up in bones, I look towards Cozy and her tunic and crown are burned and they turn into a black queen's dress with red horns and stare at me and a statue that has my shape falls on me, all while she saying things that frightened me to hear from her.
I woke up just when she finished her great dialogue on that dream and it was midnight, I went back to sleep trying to forget that bad dream, but that moment I never noticed that the tree was controlling my dream, it was warning me of something.
It was another morning when classes were starting and there was a meeting, but, Starlight was not there, how strange... and Cozy took the charge, for some reason:
“Gooood morning friendship students! I know we’re all sad professor Sparkle is away, but don’t worry, because she left me in charge! To do just the way she would!” Cozy said happily
But I was thinking confused “¿¡What the…!?, she left Starlight in charge, not you Cozy”
Gallus said “Uh, I thought Starlight Glimmer was gonna be temporary the headmare.”
“She was, but she left me this note: ‘I have to go, Twilight needs my help, I know the school is in good hooves with you cozy’,” Cozy giggles “isn’t that sweet? We won’t let Starlight down, Will we?”
I whisper to myself “And now what? She wouldn’t tell us directly?”
I was starting to think the tree of harmony was saying the truth, but I have to make sure.
But Smolder had the same idea “it’s just kind of weird, isn’t it?”
“I don’t know what you mean…” Cozy grins
“Like, why’d she change her mind? Why did Starlight write a note instead of saying goodbye to us herself? Doesn’t make any sense” Smolder said
“Oh Smolder, you forget, we’re not scheming dragons, were ponies, sounds like some creature needs to do a little extra friendship homework” Cozy grins and boops Smolder, and that makes her angry.
But Yona defends Smolder “Yak not pony either, if Smolder get homework, Yona get homework”
Ocellus adds “Me too”
Sandbar too “I’m in”
“Yeah, Homework party!” Silverstream grins
Gallus said “Ugh fine…”
I go walking closer to them and I complain to them “There is space for one more?”
“What loyalty, professor Rainbow Dash would be so proud, you are such good friends, you all are! And I’m grateful because it will be awfully hard running a whole school alone, can I count on each of you to help me?”-Cozy said and the others said yes, while I and my friends knew something strange was happening-“Thank you so much! It’s just like our professors taught us Together, we can get through anything!”
After the meeting, something remained in my head: “Together, we can get through anything”… I began to investigate this further and when finish the morning secret mystery, when suddenly:
“Fast! I just wanted to talk to you, I will use everything you taught me and as a result, I give you the following days, a break!” Cozy talks to me
I was surprised “huh?”
Cozy keeps talking “You deserve it, friend, now go enjoy the day!”
“Bu-bu-but my friends...” I said a little worried
Cozy calms me “Don't worry, I'll take care of your back”
And I said before go “o-k, well, see ya”
Wait, if she left me free of classes, wouldn't it be so that she didn't discover her secret? Things were going to be questioned with me that day, first check the box with the artifacts, she told me that she had organized them, the artifacts weren't there, which reminds me of the favor of finding the perfect formation to use the 6 artifacts at once, then I saw the note that Starlight supposedly left without anyone watching me, it was equal to the letter of Cozy!, but what else it scares me that when I checked the letters she received, they were all from Tartarus and they all came from someone named Tirek, who knew he was someone who almost stole all the magic of Equestria, was getting into terror.
So I tried to relax the rest of the day in the courtyard, I say “I tried” because I couldn't, while I wanted to relax.
Cozy passed by in front of me “Oh, I forgot something, it's your early birthday gift.”
She gives me the gift and I open it and there was a Gamefilly Advance which had the game Rainbow Battle “oh, thank you very much”
The rest of the day I spent playing trying to forget about the morning and I went to sleep, while I went I met Sandbar, he went to the library to the study club of his friends, I would like to stay with them, but I was exhausted, pitifully that night, I had the worst nightmare, like a musical
On that dream, I was on the cavern entrance down of the school and the place was lightning up ”Lost in a doubt, of a friendship of the present, where was Cozy Glow, both sides were there, don't know if it's true, don't know if it's evil, not even, it's just friendly, one of them must be…”
Suddenly a shadow came out and it was Cozy's and it became a clone of me, but injured and said to me “How you couldn't know of her plan at the start? How is it possible you still don't found? I thought you were smart and you were going to discover it, how do you still not know about her goal?”
But I respond to him screaming while the echoes were around us “All of you are is a part of my dream! You really don't know Cozy!”
But he said ”This is not just any dream, I'm just what you see and what you think of her”
I told him “You would know perfectly she wouldn't make that plan, no one really knows truly”
He stomps on the ground and papers fly containing the favors that Cozy did to me and they transform into a great sphere of magic where underneath was a giant portal “Just look at their favors, my friend, and you will see it, she has fooled you for months and without knowing, I'm just trying to show you, you really don't want to see, cause this way you will not like it”
I say to he “You also know she wouldn't do that; you saw how friendly it has been”
He responds to me “I also remember this day, and the times you doubted it”
“I know that she has been my pal, long time I can remember, and I know she wouldn't do something like that“ A Cozy appears near the portal, I walk closer to her to hug her.
“She wasn't your friend” he advised.
“NO!” I respond quickly.
“She only used you” he keeps saying.
“NOOO!” I respond yelling to he
“If you continue on this way, late it will be, the world will end, and she will win” he said that, and that Cozy pushes me to that portal and the sphere of magic grabs me and puts me inside while going down to enter on that portal.
“I´m starting to see it… How could I not know?” I said scared.
“Your fear hid it!” he said.
“If it's true, who are you?” I asked
“I'm your other friend the tree” he said
“You always knew, the truth” I said
“Some friends are of cardboard” he told me
“How this, can I avoid?!” I ask to he
“You must remember this place” he said
I look around and I see it’s the caverns “I know very well”
“Come here!” he said.
“I will, I have already learned the lesson now” I said in tears before I crossed the portal at all.
“It was about time…” he said.
There I learned that a truth that hurts is better than ignorance.
