Cozy Glow, for her treason against the crown, thought she would be sent to Tartarus. To her misfortune, the Royal Guard aren't letting her off that easily. There is something out there that scares her even more than Equestria's worst prison.
Her mom waiting for her back home.
Wonderful! Simply wonderful! I love parent stories with Cozy!
adorable...
Yeah, that would be embarrassing for any parent!!!
A funny, yet adorable story all the while.
*wheeze*
Oh boy.

I wondered what kind of family Cozy had, and why they wouldn't object to their daughter being dumped into Pony Hell. I felt giving Glow a ridiculously nice mom would be more surreal, and giving her a mean family would be too cliché.
9769986
Tirek might disagree.

When kids act out, parents can get mad for this very reason: not for doing whatever stunt they pulled, but for doing it in a way that embarrassed them.
I'm stunned I could make someone find Cozy Glow adorable and lovable, despite still behaving like a conniving villain.
Cozy Glow does tend to bring out this reaction.

Eeyup.
No matter how evil she is, CG will always be adorable in many eyes, including mine!!!

That's a good and unique idea. I understood the serve for her crime but sending a child to Tartattus was always...unfitting for me
Hell hath no fury like a disappointed mother.

Unfitting is a bit of an understatement: What Cozy did was awful, and she wasn't exactly repentant. But she was punished harder then a lot of other bad guys that have done worse, despite being a minor.
Starlight Glimmer attacked the very essence of ponies. And then she tried to prevent the revival of the Elements of Harmony, essentially dooming Equestria to war AT best, and subjugation at worse. And she got a slap on the wrist.
Discord repaid Fluttershy's trust for letting him out of his stone castle by betraying the ponies and siding with Tirek!
I found them punishing Cozy to be ridiculous.
9770692
Exactly I found it strange and unsuiting that a child gets punished like that in a kids show. I mean, Starlight tried to alter time, that's way worse compared to Cozy and she got another chance.
I honestly thought she was going to say, "You got caught."

That would only work if Sweet Roll was just as evil as Cozy.
But what would've been funnier? My story where Cozy's mom is ridiculously nice, or a story where Cozy's mom is also a secretly devious supervillain who genuinely loves her daughter, but wants her to be evil.
yeah, When I first watched that episode, My thoughts were... WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS
9778463
In most fantasy shows, parents often have a suspicious absence/slash ignorance of what their kids do.
MLP is a good exception.

well, you know how the fandom is.. I'm sure they're already making "Orphaned Cozy Glow headcanons", In cozy Glow's defense though, I feel like who ever was delivering the letters she was writing to Tirek, should maybe have screened them, Then again, it may have been delivering, soo..
(Side fact, I read the title in a bad Cuba accent)
9781285
That was a cliché I was trying to avoid, since it leads to a lot of dumb "Freudian Excuse" type stories.
I thought giving Cozy a kind, if oblivious, mom was funny. And that her treating Cozy's actions as being like pranking a teacher would be even funnier.
9781307
I'm not arguing with that...
then = time
Her mother was specified as being an Earth Pony, so ordinarily she could
Start about 2 minutes in

That's one of the many problems the writers made without ever fixing. Somehow it feels as if the show says "Every crime can be forgiven with a hug. Except of course you're a male villain/evil king who enslaves ponies. The you have to be killed. (The Storm King once and King Sombra twice)". Well, luckily there are fanfics like this, who are making more fitting punishments that the writers of G4
As much as I love FiM, the writers messed up the whole "punishment for doing a crime" system big time. I wouldn't even be surprised if they even reform Grogar at the end of the show. Good thing that, at least that to me, season 8 is the real ending of the show. Season 9's main story is just messed up times 10

Again, they are not particularly consistent in how ponies approach punishment.

laughs/cries in spoilers
Yikes. This story will need a AU tag after the finale airs in the US lol.
9828281
It does already.
9828471
My bad didnt see it at first. Do you plan on doing anymore stories centered around this?
9828477
Not in the near future no.
But, since you asked, I might think up some new ideas.
9828498
I would love to see your interpretation of the events for cozy glow that take place after the series finale. I understand that it will be awhile to wait for it though since it hasnt officially aired yet. In any case I look forward to whatever you might write next.
So...what would Cozy have to do to get a month restriction? Double homicide? Great story, btw. It'd been funny if the end of School Raze had ended with Cozy's mom showing up and dragging her off by her ear.
9890120
No....it would be leaving the door open for the fifth time in a row.
I figure that taking over the world is so common in Equestria, that the authorities ought to treat it like some punk was vandalizing someone's house with paintballs: something that does get punishment, but is written off as "boys will boys". I mean, Sunset Shimmer tried to pull the same stunt, and her direct punishment (aside from becoming an outcast) was cleanup work outside of the school.
Based on that logic, the idea of Cozy's mom yanking Cozy by her ear is something I can see as canon. But I figured making her ridiculously nice would be even more silly.

Now that I've seen the series finale, I have a new idea brewing in my head for a sequel.

"I'm sorry Cozy, but I'm going to have to smack your hoof."
this outcome was not what i was expecting xD
you got me xD
This was both fluffy and hilarious. I loved the "No Sapphire Shores records for a week!"
And to think, instead of having something like this for Cozy Glow, we got:
Every time i See her name, i can only think of one line of dialog or another from The Edler Scrolls involving sweet rolls, even the parodies.
"So, I took that sweet roll-"
"-and burned the whole city to the ground!"
9910733
To be fair, Sunset was remorseful for her actions and willing to change while Cozy proved herself a sociopath unable to see anything wrong with her attempted takeover and attempted murder and unwilling to stop trying again.

Well yeah...but...
Remember, Chrysalis had been immediately offered friendship by Starlight after her defeat, despite being (technically) an adult.
So had Luna and the others.
But with Cozy, no one made an effort to even TRY and teach her the error of her ways. They just thought "little filly needs to be in a cage."
10546061
I personally think Cozy kinda got what she deserved because she displayed clearly that she wasn't going to accept any attempts to redeem or befriend her.
She was just evil for no reason other than she enjoyed it and only cared about power and she had already rejected real friendship.
I admit the writers could have presented and handled it a lot better, but unless the show was willing to go into a look at clinical sociopathy and psychology then I don't think the show was fully set to tackle the issue. Because something was very screwed up about that filly's mind on a fundamental level in the same way that violent criminals are screwed up.
Bottom line, while I don't have the same problem with Cozy Glow's fate I'm currently thinking the ultimate solution would have been to just not make the sociopathic villain a child. Because that can of worms just ended up being too divisive and not a matter the show was able to fully tackle and examine.
10546506
if they already know she wasn't going to accept friendship no matter what, then they should kill her already.
10546506
Yeah, leave the amazingly at least somewhat accurate (or more?) depiction of sociopathy (or was he a psychopath?) to"Frozen". (At least according to TVTropes....CAUTION: Used TVTropes responsibly, may result in loss of time.).
The one thing that can reform cozy?
HER MOTHER

Yet all of that
And id still try
I believe in time will help her
