My Little Pony: A Broken Friendship

Chapter 3

Repairing a Friendship

Later that day, Moon Dancer left the Canterlot Library and saw a trail of books on the ground, Moon Dancer picked up the books and said, " Ooh! A Brief History of the Wagon Harness! Huh? The Life and Times of Morari the Maneless?" Moon Dancer followed the trail of books, picking them up and collecting them. Eventually when Moon Dancer reached the end of the trail, she came to an area where Twilight, her old friends, Spike, Pinkie Pie and Neo were and there was party material around the area.

Moon Dancer gasped and said, "What it this?" Twilight said, "It's a party for you." Pinkie Pie jumped out and yelled, "SURPRISE!" Twilight said, "Come on in." Moon Dancer glared and said, "Thanks but no thanks. I don't do parties." She tried to teleport away, but Twilight stopped her and said, " I know. And I think it's my fault. Back when we were in school together, you invited me to a party. I was so focused on my studies that I didn't show up." Moon Dancer said, "Big deal!" In a rude tone, Twilight said, "It was a big deal. And now that I realize how important friendship is, I'd like to make up for my mistake with a new party. A party in honor of my friend Moon Dancer! Please, you've got to let me make this up to you." Moon Dancer said, "And you think this is gonna do it, huh?" Twilight said, "Uh, yes, why wouldn't it?" Moon Dancer said, "Well, sure, why wouldn't it? That was only the first time I put myself out there, and then you didn't even bother to show up! Then you left town without saying goodbye even though we were supposed to be friends! I was humiliated! I felt like I wasn't important! I never wanted to let myself be hurt like that again! Those three finally convinced me that I had value! That other ponies might like me and want to be my friend! And you! Didn't! Show! Up!"

Moon Dancer broke down in tears and she sobbed and cried, Pinkie Pie whispered something to Spike and Twilight said, "You're right. This party can't make up for the way I hurt you. But please, don't let my mistake be the reason you can't be friends with anypony else." Minuette said, "We were your friends then and we'd be honored to be your friends now." Neo came up to Moon Dancer and said, "I don't even know you and even I would like to be your friend." Moon Dancer looked around and saw a lot of ponies she recognized, and one of them was her sister, she said, "What? That's the librarian! The bookseller! My sister!" Minuette said, "You've got a lot of friends, Moon Dancer." Twilight said, "I'm sorry, Moon Dancer. I've faced magical creatures, the end of Equestria, all sorts of things. But seeing how my actions affected you, that was one of the worst feelings I've ever had." Moon Dancer sobbed and said, "Thank you, Twilight. I never realized how much I needed to hear that. Now come on, everypony! Let's party! Right?" Pinkie Pie shouted, "RIGHT!" And she fired a party cannon.

Moon Dancer stayed and had fun at the party, during the party, Neo sang a song for the ponies, ("Sweet Dreams Are Made of This" by Marylin Manson). The ponies clapped and cheered for Neo after he sang his song, even Moon Dancer cheered for him. When the party was over, Twilight, Neo and Spike were ready to go back to Ponyville, Twilight said to Moon Dancer, " I think it's time for us to go, Moon Dancer." Moon Dancer said, "Thank you for helping me make some new friends. Even if they are my old friends." Twilight smiled and said, "Oh. We'll come back and visit soon." Moon Dancer said, "That would be great! You've still gotta teach me that Hayscartes technique!" Twilight said, "Deal." Spike approached Moon Dancer and said, " Um, Moon Dancer? It got kinda banged up, but here's a little something I wanted to give you back at your first party."

Spike gave Moon Dancer a picture of her and her friends that was taken a few years ago of them sharing cupcakes. Twilight made a mental note to herself that the next time she visits Moon Dancer, she'll introduce her to her new friend Starlight Glimmer. And so Spike hopped onto Twilight's back and Twilight flew up into the air, Neo flew up into the air as well, which surprised Moon Dancer since she had never seen him fly before, she watched her friends fly away back to Ponyville, Moon Dancer said to herself, "Wow, for a human, Neo is amazing, I hope I'll see him again very soon." And Moon Dancer joined Minuette, Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts for a sports game outside the Canterlot stadium while the picture Spike gave her hung from the wall in her house.
