//------------------------------// // Special: Starlight's Apology, Part 1 // Story: Unpleasant Correspondence 2 (My Little Pony: Reign of the Goddess-Queens) // by StormLuna //------------------------------// Dear Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Pinkie Pie, I know I have done a lot wrong in my life, especially after I was ascended and took the throne. I know you all helped me grow after I was reformed but then I just had to allow myself to become even more corrupted by Twilight. I know there is absolutely no excuse for what I did, especially not inviting you to the coronation. Rarity and Fluttershy, when you two called my bitch sister and I out on why we didn't invite you guys, you were right and the two of us just wanting to buck and were being too big of bitches to admit the truth. I would also like to apologize for making titles for Rarity and Fluttershy and giving them to Dr. Colgate and her friends as gifts. If there is anything I can do to earn your forgiveness, repair our fractured relationships and be friends again, let me know because I do miss our friendships. Hoping to be your Friend Again, Starlight Starlight, Well it is going to take a lot for us to forgive you for all the shit you have put everypony through. All of us are certain that Twibitch likely had a lot to do with it and that you simply fell in line to keep her happy but here are our list of demands. What I want you to do is give all the old weather ponies severance pay. You and your bitch sister simply laid off so many pegasi without worrying about whether any of us would be able to make a living or not. Yes a majority of us have found other jobs and I am making twice what I did before as being a mail pony between Canterlot and Ponyville and I am far more appreciated now but still, we should have got severance pay. I think 150,000 bits per former weather pony should suffice. -- Rainbow Dash What would be sufficient for me? Well Ah know Bright Beam will help out any time Ah ask her but I do think that since you won't return the weather to how it used to be, you could at least use your infinite powers to cast a spell to prevent floods, droughts, heat waves and cold snaps to protect us farmers....either that or train unicorn mages to at least keep the weather stable in farming communities. Yes Ah know that ain't traditional but Ah know that is the most Equestria will get out of you. -- Applejack What you could do is apologize to everypony for being such a meany-mean hooves. I know you aren't as bad as Twilight but still, you have caused a lot of problems over the years, even after you reformed. I still remember that spell you cast on us when you tried to do that friendship lesson, that was so mean and you were only looking out for yourself. You better Pinkie Promise that you'll apologize to everypony you've hurt....well except for Twilight! -- Pinkie Pie It is going to take a lot for us to forgive you Starlight Glimmer. You have by far been the worst to us. We still remember when you gave the two of us to Colgate and her sadistic friends as gifts. We still remember the titles you had made up for us and the fact that it took Discord to get you to free us is horrible, and that was only after he threatened to crash the value of the Equestrian bit. We know you only did it to save face and not look like a horrible leader who can't keep the economy stable. We will admit, we think a lot of what you did was because of pressure from Twilight but you could have stood up to her and stopped us from literally becoming property with no rights at all. Why in Equestria Cadence is marrying you is beyond me. After all, you and Twibitch gave her to Colgate and her friends too and she suffered far worse than Fluttershy and I did. To top that off, it was Twibitch who freed her, not you so she should view you as worse than Twilight. Well at least you will be good to her now and provide her with the commitment she desires. If you will admit every single wrong you have made on national TV, we will forgive you. We will likely never be able to fully forgive you and we certainly will never fully trust you again but if you want to be friends, admit all your wrongs for everypony to see. -- Rarity and Fluttershy P.S. And I think you should free Spike from his enslavement to Luster Dawn and PAY him for all the problems he has had to deal with for his entire life. I know that Twilight always treated him like shit and he had to do the most demeaning things for her. The only time he was probably viewed as an equal was when he was Bright Beam's assistant but even then, he still provided services without getting paid. You need to fix that too. -- Rarity Ladies, I agree to your requests and I will go into more detail when I hold a nationally televised address tonight on ENN and ENC at seven, alright? If doing all this is what it will take to set things straight, I'll do it, ok? Signed, Starlight To the Corporate Heads of ENC and ENN, I will be holding an address tonight at seven and this is something that MUST be televised for all to see. Either broadcast it or I'll shut you down, got it? Signed, Goddess-Queen Starlight Glimmer Dear Goddess-Queen Starlight Glimmer, There is no need to threaten us. You know we've always been on your side and will broadcast anything of yours, ok? Signed, Real News -- The Head of ENC Dear Goddess-Queen Starlight Glimmer, Whatever but please keep the Twilight bashing to a minimum, ok. CEO of ENN, You know my name
