On that afternoon she reached bottom, but once you get there you can only go up
The train began to move before the hurt Twilight. So it was true, her own family turned their backs to her. It hurt, yeah, the only reason Twilight didn’t cry more was because she was out of tears. The only one who still stood behind her was Spike.
And lost in her own thoughts, she didn’t notice the shadow over her head until it began raining. She was surprised at first and then she saw Cloud Chaser over a storm cloud right above her.
And again, nopony seemed to support Twilight.
Or almost no pony because suddenly Rainbow Dash tackled Cloud and pushed her back to the ground.
“Don’t dare to mess with my friends Cloud! What’s your damn problem with Twilight?”
“Oh don’t you play innocent, in this town we don’t tolerate those who take advantage of a child! And is not only her but all of you!”
Then it was Cloud who kicked Rainbow precisely at the wing articulation sending her right to the floor. Twilight ran to help Rainbow who rubbed her injured wing while the ponies began to gather around them.
“Shame on you! How can you represent friendship if you treat your family like that?”
“How can you sleep at night?!”
“Get the hell out of Ponyville!”
And kept yelling at the mares much for Twilight’s surprise.
“How long have the things being like this?” Asked Twilight.
“Since Saturday, but mostly they limit themselves to look at us badly; this is new”
The ponies continued booing Twilight and Rainbow, until a voice was heard between the crowd, Cheerilee:
“STOP IT! Seriously, do you want to get us into trouble? Leave them alone!”
The teacher advanced between the very surprised crowd.
“But you were the one who denounced them!!” Objected Caramel.
“I know, and the authorities are already taking care of the problem, damn. And what you get from harassing them? Okay, I get it, you’re outraged by this but I remind you none of us realized what was going on! Stop it!”
“But…”
“Don’t deny it, besides what we have here is an incompetent tutor, at least she never hurt the kid”
So the ponies mumbled and went in separate ways leaving alone Twilight and Rainbow. The purple unicorn couldn’t believe what the teacher just did for her, and was about to thank her but the teacher shook her head.
“I’m still mad at you, but I believe in karma and nothing is lower than kick the fallen”
Twilight lowered her head while Rainbow Dash mumbled an unwilling apology (she was very mad with the teacher for what she had done to Twilight).
But ignoring that, she turned to her friend.
“At least you finally got out of your home. What about we gather the others and do something, anything will do”
Twilight just pressed Spike’s letter (that surprisingly enough haven’t ruined with Cloud Chaser’s rain) against her heart.
“Something made me get out. Now I would love to join you guys but there’s something I must do”
Rainbow looked how Twilight’s eyes recovered part of her stubbornness, at least she was taking the first steps to recover. Twilight smiled back to her friend and walked to the counter.
“One ticket to Canterlot please”
There was an hour between both trains and forty five minutes of journey, more than enough for Twilight to take a shower and think about what she would say to Spike. According to the letters Spike would be living with Shining from now on but the journey to the Crystal Empire was long and tiring so Twilight was pretty sure that Shining and Spike would spend at least one night with their parents. She didn’t mind if she was rejected by her parents, all she needed was to talk to Spike and hug him at least for an instant.
And once she was in Canterlot, the librarian ran to her parent’s home.
Twilight stood in front of the door a little intimidated, but after a quick nod and using Spike’s letter as a talisman, she rang the doorbell.
“Yes?” Asked Twilight Velvet, who froze when she saw her daughter in the entrance.
Twilight used her own magic to force the door open and walk in before her mother could react.
“I know what you said and its fine, but I want to see him now. He’s in here, right? Spike! SPIKE! I DON’T CARE IF I GET INTO TROUBLE, I WANT TO SEE YOU!”
Twilight Velvet was unsure of what to do or say.
“Twilight I…”
Then Twilight showed the note to her mother.
“I want to see him”
Velvet sighed and guided her daughter to the dining room where Night Light and Shining were drinking coffee. They raised an eyebrow at seeing her.
“To hell with the restraining order, I came to see Spike. Where is he? If you want to forget about me its fine, I don’t care as long as I can talk to him one last time”
Velvet offered a chair to her daughter.
“I’m the first one to admit we overreacted and we need to talk, but for now try to calm down”
Twilight sat.
“Where’s Spike?”
“He managed to convince us to stay a couple of days more in Ponyville, but that’s none of your business. Not anymore” said Night Light angrily.
“It is my business”
“Doesn’t seem like it, how could you do it?” Asked Night Light.
“I’m with dad, we all agree you stained our name by betraying your family; the one who loves you the most. How could you do this to him Twilight?” Asked Shining.
“Shining I promise you… it wasn’t my intention!”
The white stallion took a deep breath.
“Okay, then how you permitted the situation escalate to this point?”
Twilight lowered her head.
“I don’t… I don’t know, I swear I don’t know! I… I… I think it all started when we moved out and Spike began to help me with my studies; slowly I got used to depend on him, but in that moment he still went to school regularly. Then we moved to Ponyville during vacation and seeing he was more useful in the library and the house I forgot to send him to school… it wasn’t like I forbid him to go to, but I didn’t thought about it. Then we began to hang out with my new friends and being so good-willing as always Spike started to do favors to all of them, especially Rarity since he have a crush on her; at first he helped just with minor chores and before we knew we ended up in the current situation. I know I should act differently, send him to school and make sure he had friends around his age but I was so concentrated in my studies that I… I ended up neglecting him…”
Velvet frowned.
“When he insisted he wanted to move with you I argued about it, and still don’t know how I ended up agreeing; but I was afraid that you won’t be able to take care of him. You just proved I was right but I never thought he’ll be the one taking care of you instead you of him…”
“I’m so sorry…”
“How could you do this? Spike is our brother, OUR BABY BROTHER FOR CELESTIA’S SAKE!”
“Shining, I was so busy with my…”
“THAT’S NOT AN EXCUSE! YOU COULD ASK CELESTIA TO LEAVE YOU LESS WORK, OR AT LEAST ASK FOR HELP! Do you have any idea how we felt when we received the notification, and what’s worse, when Princess Celestia told us about your talk with Cheerilee. God damn it, and nopony noticed… BECAUSE HE WAS SO HAPPY WITH HIS SITUATION!”
Shining’s anger was almost tangible, he was always very protective with his younger siblings… and seeing how his sister took advantage of their littlest brother was something he couldn’t stand.
“And all because he never knew better than being your servant; I wish you had never moved, at least we still could notice on time but being that far just made thing more difficult for us. At the end you proved to be nothing but a selfish teenager” said Night light angrily.
“Is like you brainwashed Spike to make him happy with his situation, but you didn’t had to use magic to indoctrinate him, do you realize you stole part of his childhood, and he is so innocent that he never noticed?!” Added Velvet.
“That’s what we find unforgivable” said Shining. “You acted like a selfish bitch!”
Shining’s words hurt like a knife; but the stallion realized what he just said and covered his mouth in horror. He sighed.
“And that’s why I didn’t wanted to talk to you, at least for the moment. I knew I would say something I would regret… sorry Twily, but… I’m just so angry…”
Twilight was still looking at him very hurt.
Shining grinded his teeth trying to find the words he needed to apologize, he was very mad at Twilight for what she have done to Spike, but he also couldn’t believe what he had just say. She have made a huge mistake, but she didn’t deserved being treated like that. At the end he was the one who started crying.
“I’m so sorry… I don’t hate you Twily…”
“None of us” said Velvet hugging her daughter. “This is all our fault for allow you this to happen, but you must understand what you did is wrong”
“I had more than enough time to realize, thank you” said Twilight weakly.
“Yeah, we got carried on and forgot this is all about Spike” said Velvet.
Night Light hugged his daughter too.
“Yeah, now we must think what’s best for Spike”
Shining stood apart, still ashamed of himself.
“I can see if we can arrange a supervised visit so you can talk to him without getting into trouble” he suggested.
Twilight looked at him surprised.
“Would you do that?”
“With one condition” said Night Light.
“What?”
“You must be the one who tells them the truth, you must explain to him personally this was no misunderstanding and they took him away from you for a reason. You owe him that much”

Okay first good chapter
which is weird since normally any character who mistreats Spike gets my full hatred due to Spike being my favorite character
and second maybe its just cause I'm more use to stories like this were Spike's being actually abused ,forgotten or he knows what's happening to him is wrong, but I just don't feel that much anger towards Twilight
and yeah I agree even if Spike's just ignorant to the issues its still bad how she treated him, but still
Uhmm....still not seeing their apology.... they've pretty much summed it up that it's her fault when the root cause wasn't her study habits it was there negligence....... if they can use the excuse you raised him more like a servant well why did they let celestia raise her to be more like a weapon and put her in danger all the time..... personal student my ass twilight was a means to an end to get the elements working so she could use them to get her sister back then use them against equestrian enemies. Now that there's a bad outcome she cut ties and is acting like she didn't have a hand in it. She tried the same thing with sunset it backfired and lost sunset over a thrown bock.
...worst chapter of this worst story EVER!
Hmm, with how it actually happened, Spike helping Twilight with the Library after the move to Ponyville during vacation, it could actually play out that they just settled into a new normal during that time. Twilight's only crime then would be not thinking thing fully and sending Spike to the new, for him, school so he could make friends his own age (if he had any in Canterlot). But above all, I think the end should balance what Spike needs with what he wants: I.E. if he wants to remain with Twilight, Twilight sends him to School and he more or less becomes a draconic version of the CMC (helping their family out but still able to be kids).
Edit: read the original, translated, and I'll try not to spoil much, but the ending while not the most ideal did make the most sense when all factors are considered
I will start with saying bravo! Your doing a excellent job translating the story. A few odd sentence choices which is understandable but the story is interesting and actually does hit one nail on the head of the baby dragon doing all the work and not going to school.
-George Burns
By the logic in place before, the town should start hating Cheerilee now. She's protecting those horrible, unforgivable monsters, Twilight's friends. They're so unforgivable, her own family said it twice about her.
seriamente twilight ni en broma puede ser perdonada.
I have to disagree with the chapter name, she has farther to fall still, her judgement has yet to be passed after-all.
I do like the drama though admittedly at times the amount of shunning one can take from everyone all at once feels overkill. I mean, I know Ponyville is a small town, but every single person is taking a jab at the already completely broken down Twilight with no remorse. At least her family have finally softened up to give Twilight a little much needed support. Twilight eye's have already been opened to the situation and she wishes she could do things over correctly if given the chance, beating a dead horse ain't gonna do much more.

Wow i knew something was rubbing me the wrong way i just knew there was a load of hypocrisy in this story but u jus helped me realize what it was
I was wrong. The antagonising and aggressive OOC had just went over the roof.
Yes, Twilight's negligent, but she's not evil. Just ignorant. And Spike is quite pitiful, for not having a complete childhood, and not getting his chance to say his own opinion on all this.
