Chapter Nineteen: Love


There shined a light upon the two young and restful fillies who slept in bed. They were both bundled up nicely underneath the heavy blankets and soft sheets.

"In the name of... Luna's moon..." Cozy was having an exhilarating dream. "I'll... punish you!"

She made a gesture with her hooves, and then awoke from her slumber. Cozy's eyes were sandy, and as she leaned over, she saw the glossy and hexagon shimmers of her friend's gaze directly next to her. Cozy blinked slowly and stared back at Ocellus hesitantly.

Everything within the room was peaceful, and quiet.

"Good morning," Ocellus said sweetly. "Sleep well?"

Cozy nodded, and said, "I did... and, would you say that you feel up to heading downstairs pretty soon here for some breakfast?" She grinned as she mentioned, "Rarity makes delicious pancakes."

"Mmh, okay, but not yet." Ocellus suggested, "Let's do that pretty soon, but for a little while longer at least... can we just... stay here like this for only a little bit longer?"

Cozy giggled, and said, "Alright... Whatever you want, Ocellus."

She grinned happily, and then confessed, "I don't really... want to go back home now..."

Cozy blushed, and asked, "Why's that?"

The changeling hiccupped, and said, "Well, for starters, you're... my hero."

There was silence. There was so much silence after those words.

"I don't ever want to leave those that saved me... not even for a moment." She cried. "I want to stay by you, always... Cozy?"

"Y-yes, Ocellus...? What is it?"

The changeling poured out her feelings while lying there. "I've decided that... I love you..." She smiled, and repeated, "I love you, Cozy Glow..."

The filly felt a warmth like nothing she had ever felt before, and she nodded. "Okay, then," Cozy said. "And... I love you, too, Ocellus."

Their foreheads touched, and then, there was nothing but radiance within the room. It could be seen shining directly through Cozy Glow's window for miles. All the while, Cozy just held onto the feeling, and tightly shut her eyes. Ocellus did the same, but asked, "Wh-what's happening?"

Cozy asked, "Where's that... angelic music coming from?"

She at last reopened her eyes and saw a spiral orb of light floating directly above, vibrating, and right in front of the two of them. She asked amidst the beautiful chaos, "What's... going to happen?"

Ocellus merely breathed and looked back into the eyes of the pony that was still right in front of her, resting on the bed. The curtains floated and ruffled along with the swirling winds. "Cozy?" Ocellus said, "I think... it's going to be okay."

Cozy made eye contact, and asked, "Huh?"

Ocellus didn't answer at first, and instead, embraced Cozy Glow with a tender, and welcoming hug. "I think that... it's my love for you. Keep it safe."

"Your... love? That's your love? For... me...?" She looked back towards the colorful orb, and watched as it got closer, and closer towards her forehead. "It's... There's... so much of it, though..." She squinted and strained to keep on looking onwards. Eventually, the orb became too difficult, and bright for her to see hardly anything at all. It graced her head serenely, and then, it forever morphed her.

Cozy grunted and was gently released by Ocellus who just stared back at her with slight shock. "C-Cozy..."

"What... was that? Are you alright, Ocellus?"

"I'm fine... but what about you?" She asked, "Do you... feel any different?"

Cozy admitted, "I have a headache, but other than that-"

"Cozy?" Ocellus cut her off and pointed at her. "You're going to want to take a look at yourself in the mirror."

Cozy blinked, but slowly, she got up, and out of bed. Her hooves felt heavy as she turned around, and started making her way, going by her chess board that was lying on the ground. She steadily observed each, and every single multi-colored crayon drawn piece that had scattered until finally, she reached her dresser. She looked, but first, she observed all of the pictures that she had hung in a perfect, heart shaped circle. Everypony that she loved, especially Ocellus was visibly there. They were all freshly taken, too, and then eventually, she looked at herself in the reflection. She stared for a long time at herself, and then backed away.

"What...?" She felt its smooth and swirly surface. "But, how?"

Ocellus came up next to her and gulped. She then asked, "Could it have been... our love that did this?"

They hazily looked back at Cozy Glow's horn that was now on top of her forehead, and Cozy said while still feeling it, "I guess... That must've been it... Wow, this is so weird! What else could've caused this?" Her eyes filled with tears, and she said, "Golly, Ocellus... Th-thank you..." They hugged one another once again, and Cozy said, "I will... I promise, I'll keep your love safe no matter what! I'll be responsible with this horn, too..."

Ocellus then asked, "I suppose... you still don't remember anything about your past, though... D-do you?"

Cozy thought for a moment but was quickly shaking her head with doubt. "No... Nothing, but that's fine... I'm fine with that, really." She smiled, but then, she grimaced. "I, uh... suppose that I'll also have to tell Twilight about this, and pretty soon."


Cozy trotted down the stairs slowly, and cautiously while Ocellus followed behind her. "The coast is clear... I really don't want to have to explain this to-"

Rarity walked right by them suddenly while rounding the corner, and unannounced. This made Cozy gasp, and Rarity noticed the two of them. "Oh, hello, Ocellus. Good morning to you as well, Princess Glow..." She stopped, and asked, "Princess Cozy Glow?" She then did a double take. "Guh, guh, guh..."

"Eheh..." Cozy shrugged, and said to Rarity, "Surprise! I'm... for some reason, an alicorn again... Better let Twilight know about this right away, huh?"

"You're... a... Y-your horn... is back, and... Oh," Rarity sighed before sheepishly fainting.

Next, Sweetie also rounded the corner only to notice Cozy's horn, too. "Hiya, girls! Would you like to- Ah!"

"Oh..." Cozy sighed as she face-hoofed, "This is going to be a long day."

Good chapter!

Nice and interesting twist

I guess this means that if a pony and a changeling love each other enough, the pony will become an alicorn.

Alicorn Cozy Glow? Well, I always thought it would be interesting if she both got a chance to reform and stay an alicorn.

The filly felt a warmth like nothing she had ever felt before, and she nodded. "Okay, then,(——" Cozy said. "And... I love you, too, Ocellus."

What a way to end it! If they get married please have Cadence officiate the wedding bows.

My issue was that this was an incredibly formative time for the new Cozy Glow. Sure, you didn't need several chapters for that week, but I feel a bit more detail was needed. "filler" content is important, in moderation. It is vital in character development and world building. That week felt like it would have been incredibly vital to how the story progresses. Just released from stone, practically a blank slate, can only really have meaningful reactions with 2 ponies that didn't even sign up for taking care of her willingly, and most ponies have no idea she's free without her memory.

I appreciate your reply and I can sympathize with your issues. But I feel you have to find a good middle ground. It's just to me this felt like such an important time that skipping it felt incredibly jarring.

Porque acabou assim???? ;-;
