Chapter 7: Being like an Idol or Being like a Friend

In the throne room where the map is, Princess Twilight and Starlight explain to them what has happened in the room, and
boy are they shocked to hear Sun's outburst. Sun's friends are the most shocked, they never expected to get that mad at
someone. Of course, Starlight, and Sun's friends explain to them on what they have learned about the origin of the Pony
of Shadows. Either way, the room has become silenced to learn about the situations.

"She slapped and scold Starswirl! Sun actually did that!" Adagio asks in shock.

Princess Twilight slowly nods her head

"Woah! I never ever knew Sun had that in her," Aria says.

"Yeah. I can't believe it either. I never seen her act like that before, but in a way… I can understand her actions," Starlight
says.

"Yeah. What Starswirl said was completely unnecessary," Starry says.

"I agree. I was so mad when he said that," Falling Star adds.

"Join the club," Aria mutters.

"Where is your friend now?" Meadowbrook asks.

"She's in one of the guestrooms. I think it will be best to give her some space until she calms down. And figure out how to
solve this problem," Princess Twilight says.

"What about Starswirl? Where is he?" Human Twilight asks.

"He's still in the library. For some reason, he said he wanted to be alone," Sunburst says.

"I think what Sun said to him really shook him up," Spike the dog says.

Rarity sighs, "Even though what Sun did was completely unlady like, she does have a reason to do it. And I suppose her
anger also got the best of her."

"But what can we do?" Flash asks.

"Well, maybe we should try to talk to them? Of course, only at least one or two of us talk to them alone," Fluttershy
suggests.

Somnambula calmly says, "I agree. I'll be the one to talk to her, but I like to talk to her alone."

The others excluding Human Twilight, both Falling Stars, and the Dazzlings look surprised.

"Are you sure?" Pinkie asks.

Human Twilight speaks up, "I think Somnambula should talk to her."

Everypony else look at the human Twilight with confused looks.

"Well, I guess, I can talk to Starswirl," Princess Twilight says.

Adagio stands up from the floor, "My sisters and I would like to come. There's… something very important we need to tell
him."

"Are you sure about that? Remember he and the other pillars banished you guys," Rainbow asks, looking confused.

"We're sure about it," Sonata says.

"And we all think Starswirl should hear what we have to say," Aria says.

Everypony excluding the pillars nod their heads agreeing to the ideas. Thought, the other five pillars look confused about
it, and wonder what the Dazzlings have to say. In fact, everypony else, excluding the human Twilight, both Falling Stars,
and The Dazzlings wonder why Somnambula wants to talk to Sun… alone.

Princess Twilight, and The Dazzlings walk into the room to see Starswirl looking over the spell to banish the Pony of
Shadows. However, he's been staring at it and nothing else.

"Starswirl, are you okay?"

"Yes. I'm fine. Thank you for your concern," Starswirl calmly answers, not turning his head around.

Princess Twilight sighs, and asks, "You feel bad about what you said, aren't you?"

"How you guess?" Starswirl firmly says.

"Look Starswirl, I know that you meant well, but let's be honest… you weren't being concerat of Starlight and the Dazzlings
feeling, including mine," Princess Twilight says, putting on an assertive face.

Starswirl finally turns his head, and asks, "Is there a reason to it?"

"There is. I know that you wanted to stop Stygian and the Dazzlings from doing the bad things that you did. But… you
never stop to wonder why they did what they did, other than wanting power. The reason why the Dazzlings did was
because they felt like they have no choice," Princess Twilight explains.

"How could feeding on negative energy is not a choosing experience," Starswirl asks, looking confused.

Adagio comes over, and says, "I know it doesn't make sense, but when my sisters and I were cursed, nothing but negative
energy was able to satisfy us. No matter how much we eat or drinks we never felt fool," Adagio explains.

"That's what we had to keep feeding on negative energy and cause tension between others. Over time, we come to think
that being loved and adored is the only way to help us," Aria says.

"Even when you banished up, we could never get enough of negative energy, until we feed the negative energy at
Canterlot High," Sonata adds.

"Sounds like you girls have been through alot. The stuff that me and the others never knew," Starswirl says, looking a bit
guilty.

"Still, you don't have to forgive us for our actions. I'm not sure if Stygian could forgive us for causing tension at his home,"
Aria says.

"We're really sorry for all the trouble we caused," Sonata says.

Adagio shows a calm smile, and says, "And we also want to thank you for sending us to that world."

Starswirl looks very confused, "Thank me? Really?"

"Yes. Confusing as it sound, but an oracle foretold that someone who wasn't under our spell and truly want to be our
friend is the one who will help break our curse. If you hadn't send us to that world, we would have never met Sun," Adagio
explains.

"Sun is a cool girl, even though she can be Little Ms. Sunshine. Either way, ever since then, we stick by her, and help her
whenever she needs us. Because of how much she helped us, we always tried to help her in return," Aria says.

"At first, we didn't like that world, but mostly we were still upset about the curse we were in. Thanks to Sun, we put that
problem behind us and still lived in the human world. Sure we sometimes missed our old home, but we love hanging out
with Sun and the others that we decided to stay," Sonata says.

Hearing the story cause Starswirl to smile, "Sounds to me that because of me and the others, you three were able to find
happiness and friendship from Princess Sun. You all are… truly fond of her indeed."

Starswirl sadly sighs, and says, "I'm… also sorry for how I've been… behaving. I guess it goes to show that I may be a
powerful wizard, but not fully understand friendship the way Princess Twilight and Princess Sun does."

"Funny you mention it, because back then we didn't have any friends at all," Princess Twilight says.

"Really?" Starswirl questions.

"It's true. When friendship was brought to us, we fully understand that we couldn't live without it. There were good times,
bad time, and very tough times. But at the end, our friendship ends up growing stronger," Princess Twilight explains.

Princess becomes sadden, "Even though I'm the Princess of Friendship, I still go through troubles when friendship is
tested. Like now, I've been so caught up the fact about you and learning that I finally get to meet you that I ended up
clouding my own judgement. And trying to show you how serious I am to magic made me more clouded of the answers I
already know. But what Sun and Starlight said finally snap me out of it. It also made me remember when my friends turn
their back on me one time."

"You're friends turn their backs on you?!" Starswirl asks in shock.

Princess Twilight nods her head, and explains, "It's true. I noticed that my old foalsitter, Princess Cadence was asking cruel
and demanding, not like the Cadence I know, and I saw her cast a hypnotic spell on my brother. When I tried to explain to
everypony what I saw, no pony believe me, think the worst in me, and turned their backs on me. When they learned the
truth, it… hit them rather hard. I learned that it's good to trust my instincts, and my friends learn to that if you turned your
back on a friend, you'll end up hurting yourself as well."

"Sounds like important lessons were learned that day. And that pride may have cloud my judgement about Stygian. If he
really didn't want power, then I owe him an apology. I owe you all an apology," Starswirl says.

"That's okay. You may not be able to fix what has been done in the past, but we can figure out on how to fix it now,"
Princess Twilight says.

"That sounds like a wise decision," Starswirl says.

The four girls smile and glad to have the problem resolved. Now to hope how Somnambula does with Sun.

Somnambula walks over to the door where Sun is getting some alone time.

She knocks on the door, and asks, "Sun, mind if I come in?"

But Sun is not answers.

Somnambula knocks on the door again, "You don't need to worry, I just want to talk to you alone."

Nothing seems to happen. Just then, a clicking sounds appears, and the door opens.

Sun's voice sadly says, "Come in."

Somnambula walks into the door to see Sun is in her pony form, and walks back to lay down on the bed. Somnambula
begins to remember seeing her daughter like this when she gets upset or don't know what do. She decides to focus on
the real problem.

Somnambula walks over to the bed, and asks, "Sun… are you feeling any better?"

"More or less," Sun mumbles.

"Princess Twilight told us on what happened, and she along with the others are worried about you," Somnambula says.

"Then you know the reason why I acted like that," Sun says.

"Yes. I do. You may wanted to defend your friends, but… you don't have to be so… aggressive with Starswirl,"
Somnambula replies.

Sun sits up, and says as she showing an upset look on her face, "I didn't want to. I just got so upset with him, I couldn't
stand it. He's been disrespecting Princess Twilight, even though she was trying to save you guys from limbo. He's been
acting like everypony who has done something bad is a villain. He thinks that ponies like that don't deserve friends. He
has no right to say those awful things, especially with my friends around. Hearing what he said to Starlight, I… I end up
losing my temper and totally scold him."

Somnambula hugs Sun, and says, "I know. I guess it's understandable why you were upset. But I'm sure Starswirl was
really talking about Stygian… not your friends."

"It felt like it," Sun replies.

"And that's okay, you were only expressing your feeling. You may have taken it the wrong way, but you were only thinking
about your friends," Somnambula says.

"Of course I was. My friends mean everything to me," Sun says.

Then she asks, "Still, are you really sure about Stygian? Do you really think he's only interested in your magic?"

"Well, It did seem like it when he took the artifacts, "Somnambula answers.

"But that doesn't really guarantee it. You all assumed Stygian is only interested in gaining power and cast him out without
thinking otherwise. Losing power and desires is one thing, but losing a friend can do something to a person or pony, I
know it because the same thing happened to me last winter," Sun explains.

"You… lost your friends?" Somnambula asks in shock.

"I almost did. There was this profile called Anon-A-Miss who posted my friends secrets. And five of my friends assumed
that I did it, and didn't want to be my friend. The Dazzlings stood up for me, and never think I would do something like
that. When my other friends learned the truth and who Anon-A-Miss, they felt awful for ever doubting me and my
friendship. We were able to become friends again after that," Sun explains.

"That sure was quite an experience. And friendship worked out in the end," Sonnambula says.

"It did. Maybe you need to work something out with Stygian," Sun says.

"That might not be easy. After a thousand years, I don't think he will be willing to listen to us," Somnambula says.

"Even though Stygian may still be upset, but if you really care for him, then you need to stand up and let him know that
your friendship to him is important. If we all band together, I'm sure he'll listen. He'll listen because he has too," Sun says.

Somnambula begins to giggle a little after hearing that which makes Sun abit confused.

"What's so funny?" Sun asks, looking confused.

Somnambula is able to stop giggling, and says, "Sorry, I wasn't teasing you or anything. It's just… you remind me of the
daughter I had a long time ago."

Sun doesn't say a word because she knows what her parents has said.

"You practically have the same personality as her, and you look exactly like her. Only she's a pegasus," Somnambula
answers.

Somnambula then hug Sun, and begins to feel sad, "I… I miss her and Hisan so much."

Sun then hugs Somnambula to, and can understand her sadness. In fact, she ends up being separated from her family for
years that lead her to the human world. Sun thinks now it's time to tell Somnambula the truth.

Sun lets go of her embrace, and says, "Somnambula… there's something very important for me to tell you."

"What is it?" Somnambula asks.

Sun takes a deep breath, and levitates the box that her parents have given to her with her magic. She then places the box
on the bed between herself and Somnambula.

Sun says, "First… I need to show you this."

Sun opens the box to show Sonnambula what's inside. Somnambula gasp in surprise to see what's inside. The glowpaz
necklace. Sun levitates the necklace out of the box to show it to Somnambula.

"That… looks like the glowpaz necklace Hisan gave to me, but I gave it to my daughter ages ago? How did you obtain it?"
Somnambula asks in surprise.

"Well… that is part of what I have to tell you… my parents have it to me… and from what she told me that… that it's been
past down from my family… for… for generations… And… and when they told me how it's been first poast down… I find
it… I find it very shocking," Sun explains, but looks hstitated and so nervous.

Sun takes a deep breath, "The necklace is actually the very same necklace Hisan gave to you that you passed down to
your daughter Sun Goddess, who looks exactly like me. So in short, your necklace has been past down thousand years of
generations in my family until it's passed down to me."

Somnambula is stunned to hear everything Sun is explaining to her. Sonnambula looks down to see Nina, and the cat
nods her head in reply. Hearing everything, and backs up by the cat, Somnambula is finally understanding the truth.

"You… you're… you're really my… my descendent?" Somnambula asks in surprise.

Sun nods her head, and says, "Crazy as it sounds, it's true. I guess it's just genetic or luck that I end up looking like your
daughter."

Before Sun can say anything else, Somnambula hugs Sun with tears coming out of her eyes with a smile on her face.

"I… I never thought that I end up meeting the mare who was part of my family blood. I'm so glad to have you as my
family," Somnambula says.

Sun smiles with tears coming out of her eyes, "And I'm glad to meet you and have you as mine."

Soon the two share a embrace of love and family. In a way, because of what is going on, Somnambula and Sun meet each
other and able to know as family.

Author's Note:

Sun finally tells Somnambula the truth, and Twilight along with the Dazzlings and two Falling Stars got through to Starswirl. How the rest of their adventure hold out?
