Chapter 17, Trending Down

We cried together the rest of that day... This cry was terrible... It reminded me of Cel's quiet, helpless cry when we first arrived back in the Past this time... It was the pain of hopelessness... We knew of no way to get back... Crying while hopeless... That was all we could do...

...

As the sun settled towards the much smaller trees off in the distance, my sister Fluttershy, still sniffling "Shyna and I need to go back, I think..."

Fiona added quietly "We should go, too... Princess Twilight..."

Walking off, my sister said quietly "You know where to find me sis, I think it will be ok..." Then the four of them were gone, making the maybe hour and a half trip, walking back to... Ponyville...

As soon as I knew they were out of... "Ok? How in Equestria can this be called OK?" I... shouted this... We just cried more... Well, Shysage, our Ariel and myself... I guess that was all we had left...

The rest... That just seemed so...

We absolutely knew friendship is magic. But, this... How could...

Maybe the bullies had actually won...

...

Faded memories (1)... That would have to do... That was all...
