Cozy and Flurry (and Luster) Go to the Cinema

Cozy Glow939 stories ·576 members

Cozy and Flurry only realized three hours before their movies' premieres that they both wanted to see different films. They're both also too stubborn to compromise. The other one has buried herself in her room.

A 5-chapter story of three friends who are complete opposites of each other and get along about as well as you'd expect a psychopath, a Princess, and a nerd to get along.

NOT written for any contest.

If you listen carefully, you can hear Twilight banging her head on a wall, wondering why the universe has it out for her when she has to deal with these three.

I'm like Cozy's dynamics with both Tirek and Chrysalis as her begrudging parental figures and her friendship with Flurry Heart. It's all very humourous, endearing, and kind sweet in a weird kind of way. Though I'm curious to see how Flurry's family interacts with Cozy and the (former?) villains.

There were only a hundred and seventy minutes until the advertisements would roll, and they were a vital part of the movie-going experience.

Truer words have never been said

“…Umm,” Luster murmured. “I’m not really sure what’s happening, but Pikmare 4 is about to be available for download and I haven’t really slept for the past… what day is it today?”

Good taste

Wow, I'm starting to wonder if Cozy Glow's a bad influence on Flurry Heart or if she's just naturally that... innocently dangerous. In a way this trio seems perfect for each other, even if they a nightmare for Twilight and the rest of Equestria.

Though I'm curious if Cozy herself has actually improved or if she's just content enough with the friends and "family" not to be an active threat. Something I forgot to comment in the last chapter, Cozy seems to stop and dwell on the CMC probably still hating her, if only for a second before brushing it off. I know this stories obviously not meant to be taken too seriously. But I'm kind of curious if that'll come up again.

Other things I'm curious about:

Does the existence of Oponeheimer mean the ponies have an equivalent to the atom bomb?

Does Starlight actually know Luster's in the same friend group and apparently has some authority over Cozy Glow?

Where does Trixie fit into the Glimmer household?

And how will Twilight deal with these three living migraines running lose in her kingdom?

I think it's safe to say that Twilight's sanity has long since been destroyed by these three, and she just goes along with it.

Off to a great start. I'm quite liking the personalities so far, especially Cozy's. Just as demented as ever.

“Oh yeah…” Flurry hadn’t thought of that. “Can I borrow your ID?”

So does Cozy legally still count as a minor here since she needs a legal guardian or an adult since apparently her ID is good enough for adult movies?

As part of a cruel injustice, Twilight had given Luster relic pictures of her in Tartarus, and the scornful filly would pretend she couldn’t tell a difference between her mane then and now

Princess of Friendship, aiding her student in bullying her former enemy, kinda.

She swallowed and noticed Cozy's eyes. “I am not turning into a cow! Again… Who am I, your… well…”

So Chrysalis is where they get their source of milk then?

She also had an extra cushion made in the shape and design of her rook. They used to be very popular, alongside masks for Nightmare Night, though at least the latter wasn’t out of admiration, as made obvious by the egging, TP-ing, and graffiti her (their) statue endured; they nearly managed to topple her over a few times. After her release and word got around that she remembered those events, stores and factories pushed the button to destroy all the products.

I bet that didn't stop Cozy from trying to sue them.

Does the existence of Oponeheimer mean the ponies have an equivalent to the atom bomb?

Well, they do have a Flurry Heart.

Does Starlight actually know Luster's in the same friend group and apparently has some authority over Cozy Glow?

Yes but she hides when Cozy comes around.

Where does Trixie fit into the Glimmer household?

I have no idea

And how will Twilight deal with these three living migraines running lose in her kingdom?

What 11679255 said. If Cozy wasn't with those two she'd probably be an angel for 364 days of the year, to build enough trust for her plan to work. Luster and Cozy annoy each other, and Flurry is an oblivious catalyst.

Twilight used to try and resolve the problems but she and the rest of the Mane 6 either arrive when the problem is already resolved, they make it worse, or they get hit by the consequences (For example, a pack of timberwolves that were previously chasing the young trio instead go after the Mane 6). Attempts to remedy the young trio's behaviour (before a another problem starts) blows up in her face.

So does Cozy legally still count as a minor here since she needs a legal guardian or an adult since apparently her ID is good enough for adult movies?

Legally she's the age of now minus her date of birth, even through her brain hasn't matured at all in stone. It's like recalling the memories of your past life or reading your own biography.

She might've still went insane while petrified, maybe, and if so it probably changed her, like when Vsauce went inside that isolation room for 3 days. Probably moments where she says something crazier than usual and stares in complete silence before going back to 'normal'.

She probably could get it fixed but doesn't want to forfeit the benefits. That decision definitely won't bite her at some point in the future.

But she's also seen as unable to make her own decision, so Luster has to approve them first. How does that work? I have no idea. Naive Twilight didn't let Tirek and Chrysalis have that right. I could see those three having casual conversations.

So Chrysalis is where they get their source of milk then?

They tried it once. Between you me and rest of this reply section, Chrysalis is basically acting as Cozy's mother. Here's a random scene I wrote of Chrysalis mourning her Hive:

11 PM
(Cozy in pyjamas): "Chyssie are you okay?"
Chrysalis🍷: "H-huh what? What do you want?"
Cozy: "Nothing, it's just you've been really quiet and your TVs super loud so I can't really sleep. And it looks like you've spilt a bit of your drink on Tirek's hoofchair."
Chrysalis🍷: "I'll just, you know, find a... you know, find a magical spell. Come here."
(Stokes and pecks Cozy's mane)
Chrysalis🍷: "You're a good drone. Now go to bed."
Cozy: "But your TV's still super loud"
Chrysalis🍷: "I'm going to bed as well soon so it doesn't matter."

I bet that didn't stop Cozy from trying to sue them.

You can guess how scared they were when they looked through the factory windows and saw Cozy on the horizon slowly stomp towards them.

I think the funniest part of this story is how Trixie is somehow the most (if not only) responsible adult in it. I also find it funny how so far, Chrysalis has been shown to be a better mother then either Luster or Flurry's parents. Starlight seems to actively avoid her daughter while Cadence and Shining apparently barely even try to control Flurry's behavior.

Wait, did Twilight even ask Luster’s parents about that whole conservatorship thing? Neither would touch Cozy even with a ten-foot pole being controlled telekinetically from the other side of Equestria.

I'm surprised that Starlight is so terrified of Cozy. It really does make me wonder just how much they know about the whole Luster/Cozy situation.

Cozy had accused Luster before of hugging her pillow when she slept; she wasn’t such a loudmouth after her cutie mark disappeared.

Did Starlight teach Luster the cutie mark removal spell or did she learn it herself?

She made a very pony-ish sigh through her nose and tried to grab onto Luster’s Switch, but Luster resisted and held on tighter. That was it. Flurry flew back, squinted her eyes, and shot an energy beam at the hoofheld. The castle shook under her might. Smoke filled the room. But the Switch remained intact. Luster had placed an energy shield around herself without looking.

So does this mean that Luster is actually magically more powerful then Flurry?

“When you get home, please tell your… whatever it is you are to each other with consideration of that useless specimen of a crystaller—Starlight, to stop rejecting our calls to your home telephone! That mare’s only purpose is to either facilitate Cozy’s communication with her loser of a daughter or face me in combat!”

How many times did Chrysalis try to challenge Starlight to a fight to the death by now?

And now I'm wondering if alicorns are a result of Oponeheimer's weapon experiments. About as good an explanation for them as anything I guess.

Also, it seems like Starlight has a serious problem just staying out of her daughter's life and hoping her friendship with the evil manipulator works out. To be fair, her own teacher's doing the same thing, but still. It's sad when Trixie and Chrysalis seem to be the more reliable adult figures in the kid's lives so far.
