Chapter 20- In This Town

"Great to have you here on our show you guys," Starlight welcome her friends from her own village who were sat around them. Todays guests included Night Glider, Double Diamond, Sugar Belle and Party Favour. The studio was looking quite crowded today.

"It's great to be guests on your show," Night Glider answered, "We wouldn't miss the opportunity to talk about how we met and what's being going on."

"So how did you all meet Starlight and founded the village in the first place?" Tempest started with intrigue.

"We met together, searching for something missing from our lives, but we didn't know what it was. Maybe a sense of belonging, purpose or simply somewhere to feel like it was the right place to be," Party Favour started off, before letting the others continue.

"This is how we met Starlight and, who promised that there was a better way," Double Diamond continued, causing Starlight to blush in shame. Sugar Belle comforted her, reminding her that it was in the past now.

"How did you manage to find the spell for unmarking all the cutie marks?" Trixie asked.

"Apparently," Starlight slowly said, knowing a friend will never let this down, "It was Maud."

Dead silence.

"WHAT?!" Everypony in the room shouted.

"She was looking for rock samples for her projects, stumbled upon me and just pointed to a cave that has the power to unmark ponies the size of a village," Starlight quickly summarised.

"Starlight, I thought I told you not to mention how my sister helped enslave a town," Pinkie shouted down the radio, thinking Starlight will hear her.

"Pinkie," Maud interrupted her sister's rant in her usual monotone, blank voice, "I didn't know Starlight was a bad pony back then and, so I think ponies will understand that what I did was a mistake for not knowing what she was planning back then."

"Wow," Sunset said with amazement, "Amazing you were able to meet again." Starlight gave her usual nervous chuckle at that.

"Must have been quite an awkward reunion," Tempest joked.

"It didn't help with Pinkie's persistence to help Maud find a friend," Starlight huffed in annoyance.

"Twilight and her friends came, and even though they got unmarked as well, they were able to show us that what we were looking for in out lives as each other. After Starlight's overthrow, we made the village into something good and different," Party Favour continued on their story.

"After the whole time travel thing," Starlight sighed, "Twilight took me back to my old village to make amends of my past. You guys forgave me, but I still had my doubts on what you will think of me. It got worse when you invited me to the Sunset Festival before Queen Chrysalis' pony-napping. It showed me that I have changed from who I was back then, and it was the step up that I needed."

"And you're a terrible baker," Sugar Belle giggled, which everypony laughed whilst Starlight blushed.

"Congratulations on your wedding, if I might add," Starlight said, "Taking over Twilight's school whilst she prepares for being the new ruler of Equestria meant I was away for the wedding with Big Mac. How was the proposal?" Sugar Belle chuckled wryly at that.

"One word. Chaotic," Sugar Belle simple answered.

"Discord?" Starlight sighed.

"Yes, but also all our fault. Big Mac planned something, I planned something with the Crusaders. Discord went overboard-"

"The usual," Starlight butted in with a roll of her eyes.

"One long talk, both of us proposed together and then the wedding," Sugar Belle rounded off. I will be moving to Ponyville and settle in at Sweet Apple Acres, perhaps help with the baking during harvest season. She then turned to the others with a sad face.

"We understand," Double Diamond comforted, "And we will miss you to. Just be promise to write."

"Deal," Sugar Belle chuckled. The others crowded round Sugar Belle and gave her a goodbye hug. Starlight then joined in as their former villager. Tempest and Sunset looked at each other, shrugged and joined in as a sign of goodwill. Trixie gagged.

"Trixie will not partake in such sappy-" That was all she got before Starlight grabbed her by the hoof and let her friend join in the group hug.

"Trixie will get her revenge for this," Trixie sighed.

"Looking forward to that day," Starlight teased, "But I'll be waiting."

"We'll be back soon," Tempest said between Night Glider and Party Favour, "Once we finish this good hug."
