Love and Light

Chapter 3

NOTE: This is a cancelled story. I am only adding what I have written on this chapter because I feel like it would be wasted if I don't.

“So what’s it like being a princess?” Clover asked.
Cozy, Clover, and Flurry were having a meal (consisting of sugary pizza, sweet hay, and crystal candy) in the Crystal Castle. The Cutie Mark Crusaders had gone off to deal with “some little issues, heh, heh.” So Flurry invited the remaining ponies to a slumber party. She wanted to know more about Clover (and make sure she was okay for Cozy).
“Um? To be honest, I don’t like it very much. Too much responsibility. And I’m stuck in my castle all day sometimes. I mean, the castle’s fine, but I’d like to see the outside world and meet new ponies,” Flurry said.
Clover shrugged. “You should like having a crown upon your head. You’re, like, lucky, y’know.”
Flurry stared. She didn’t think she was lucky. She thought everypony else was lucky. She thought Clover was lucky.
“I agree with Clover,” Cozy said. “I love power. It’s just more fun when you’ve earned it by evil, but I guess it’s not acceptable.”
“Oh, dear! Cozy Glow, have you even, like, learned your lesson yet? Ponies who are evil get, like, turned to stone!” Clover feigned shock.
Flurry chuckled. Cozy said, “Ha, ha, very funny.”
A silence fell over them. Awkward… thought Flurry.
“So what do you want to do for the slumber party?” Flurry asked, breaking the silence.
Clover shrugged. “Don’t know.”
“I’d like to just sit around and chat, maybe?” Cozy said.
“Okay,” said Flurry. “So, did you hear abo-”
“Honey, who are those ponies?” 
“MOM!” Flurry said, jumping up. “I’m having a slumber party!”
“Ooh! May I join? Those ponies look like they’re needing a little bit of love advice!” Princess Cadence gushed.
Oh, ponyfeathers.
“Cadence! A little help here?” Shining Armor staggered into the room, attempting to control the baby, Skyla. 
“Oh! Yes, of course. Wait for me, girls!” Cadence called out, and hurried to Shining Armor.
“Phew. Sorry, my parents can be embarrassing,” Flurry said, blushing slightly.
Cozy shrugged. “At least you have parents.”
“Oh, yeah…” Could this get any more awkward?
Clover suddenly threw a pillow across the room. 
No, really.
Flurry’s ears sprang up and she did what came naturally. She threw the pillow back at Clover. “Pillow fight!” she shrieked with delight.
“No fair! We’ve only got wings!” Cozy protested.
“We can, like, team up!” Clover said.
Soon Flurry had made a pillow castle and was looking through a peephole. She saw Cozy throwing dozens of pillows at her and seized them with her magic. Then she put them in the castle. She knew it wasn’t good to throw all your pillows at the enemy at the same time, especially when they were alicorns and could easily seize them.
Cozy hastily made an attempt to build a pillow castle, but Flurry knocked it over with two pillows.
