Months went by,Space was surprised all the reports on Cozy only seemed better and better.

But she was intrigued as to why this month's was late.

Space finally got her letter from Twilight. It read:

"Dear Miss Glow,
I am writing you to inform you. That your daughter Cozy for crimes against Equestria has been sent to Tartarus. If you have any questions feel free to write me and I will explain the best I can. 
Twilight Sparkle"

Space couldn't believe it this had to be a mistake.

What did Cozy do?And most important of all why?

She was only getting better.

Wait...a few days ago magic was gone from Equestria,that couldn't be her daughter could it?

She was going to Ponyville she needed an personal explanation from Twilight.

Space got to the School of Friendship, and found Twilight.

"Oh Space right? What brings you here?"Twilight asked.

"What do you mean what brings me here? You sent my daughter to Tartarus!"

"I had no choice. She had a part in stealing all the magic in Equestria."

"How?!"Space questioned in the verge of tears,that "how" actually had a meaning only Space understood.

That "how" meant how could she let this happen?How could she let her daughter turn into a monster?

"She was exchaching letters with Tirek,he somehow taught her how to absorb the magic in Equestria."

"And you didn't stop her?!How could you?!"She then started breaking down."She-she still had a chance to change."

"How could I have stopped this?" Space asked in a voice almost to quiet to hear.

"What? I couldn't hear you."

"How could I have stopped this? Where did I go wrong? Should I have kept her at home? Should I have kept her away from her dad?"

"I..."Twilight started.

"Tell me."

"I... there's nothing you could have done. It's not your fault."

"Then who's is it? You're not telling me she was born evil. I know she wasn't, she was a normal baby I held in my arms. Something had to have happened."

"Space-"Twilight seemed to not find the right words to say.

"There has to be something I missed..."Space thought outloud,her sweet little filly was a full villian and Space only felt like it was her fault.

Space just broke down,she didn't care about anything anymore.

"I should've stopped this..."She sobbed.

Twilight not knowing what to do pulled Space into a tight hug.

"My fault." Space sobbed.

"No it's not, listen to me. I'm sure you've heard about the villians me and my friends have fought."

Space nodded. "I have, who hasn't?"

"One of them could have made her think this way.Taken over her mind. There's still a lot of magic even me and the other princesses don't fully understand."

Space then sighed.

"Maybe someday when she's older she'll change..."

"Yeah,maybe."Twilight smiled."I'll keep you informed about her."

A few days later Twilight goes and checks on Cozy.

"Hello Cozy."

"Have you come to let me out Miss Twilight? I promise I'll be good."

"You've told us that before. I'd like to let you out, but I don't know if I can."

"Please."

"Cozy you will have to prove you changed so I can get you out."And every month the scene would repeat.
