Razzle Fizzle felt her heart sink when she saw three of the four princesses that ruled over Equestria, standing right in front of her. She knew very well that she had messed up big time by acting the way she did, and was now about to suffer the consequences. "Your highnesses," She stammered, hastily bowing to them. "I know why you are here, but I…"

"Of course you know why we’re here, Razzle Fizzle," Celestia commented in an ice cold voice as she and the other princesses walked into the house. "Your sister, Tempest Shadow, or Fizzlepop Berrytwist as you know her, came back here to ask you for your forgiveness, and you smacked her. Or is that somehow not what happened?"

Razzle Fizzle nodded. “I did it alright, but because what she did was absolutely unforgivable!" She bitterly replied. "She destroyed our family, Princess Celestia, nothing more and nothing less. How could I forgive a pony that turned you three to stone and enslaved your subjects?! Answer me that!"

"We believe in second chances, Razzle Fizzle," Luna cautioned in a slightly warmer tone than her sister’s. "If I could be given a second chance, then why can't your own sister be given the same?"

"She doesn't deserve a second chance, Princess Luna!” Razzle Fizzle spat in protest. “Even if she wanted it as much as she did, she doesn't deserve it!" Razzle then walked over to a picture of her and Tempest as fillies, and slammed it face down on the table! This caused her to let out a sharp growl of anger.

"Razzle Fizzle, listen to yourself for a second!" Celestia cried out. "Don't you see what’s happening to this house?!"

"Of course, I do!" Razzle Fizzle muttered, sitting down on the sofa. "It's growing more and more depressing to live in this place, now that my parents are dead of broken hearts. To be honest, they’re probably glad they aren't here to see what Fizzlepop did to Equestria."

"No, they are sad because you aren't willing to forgive your sister for what she did," Luna replied with a shake of her head, activating her horn. "I recently visited Fizzlepop's dreams, and this is what they said to me." activating a dream showing spell, Luna produced a bubble that showed herself conversing with a pair of ponies, that had colors similar to both Razzle and Tempest. Razzle watched as the conversation took place.

"Princess Luna, I…I don't what else to say except we're sorry for what our daughters have done." A pink coated female unicorn commented, she seemed to have a cherry red mane and tail, and green eyes.

"I understand your feelings, Fizzy Lifting Drinks,” Luna replied. “Fizzlepop Berrytwist has admitted to her responsibilities while under the Storm King's service, and is willing to atone for her actions. Unfortunately, Razzle Fizzle refuses to accept any forgiveness that Fizzlepop is willing to offer."

"Responsible or not, both of them have shamed our family," A dark purple coated male unicorn with a reddish-brown mane and tail, and blue eyes said sternly."We saw what Fizzlepop did and are ashamed of her for it. But we understand that she wants to offer up forgiveness for her crimes, to atone for what she’s done. It's just saddening that we can't see our Fizzlepop again. Had we been there for her, maybe we could’ve prevented all this."

Razzle watched as her father and mother pulled each other into an embrace and tears fell from their eyes.

"Princess Luna, if there is one thing that we would want out of our daughters," Fizzy pleaded. "It’s that we want them to forgive one another, and get along again. We may have failed them, but we are hoping that they don't fail themselves. Please, help them! You and your fellow princesses may be the only ones left who can reach out to them!"

Before another scene could be played out, the dream spell disappeared, and Razzle Fizzle was left with a speechless look on her face.

"So, you understand now why we are adamant with you and your sister reconciling?" Cadence asked. "It's not just because we want you to, but because your parents want you to as well."

Razzle felt herself take a gulp, and then walked over towards her kitchen mirror. So much of what had been said was entirely true about herself, and Fizzlepop.

"You are going to have to reconcile eventually," Celestia advised. "For the sake of your family, as well as your own sake. So what will it take, Razzle Fizzle? How long are you going to hold onto these wounds, before you let your sister be a part of your life again?"

Meanwhile, after she had calmed down, Tempest Shadow walked down to Twilight's library and gave her a concerning glance. "Twilight, can I ask you something?" She spoke up after clearing her throat.

"Sure, Tempest," Twilight smiled. "Something on your mind?"

"About what you said earlier, about me starting my training," Tempest said, before she sighed. "I just think…that…maybe…can we wait a little bit? I want to clear my mind of all that’s happened to me so far. And there's something else."

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

It didn't take long for Tempest to say what she needed to say. "I want to visit the graves of my parents," She said firmly. "It would give me a chance to tell them how sorry I am for what I did."

"Tempest, of course we can," Twilight replied in a tender voice. "And I think now, it was wrong of us to say that you should start your royal guard training now. Your mind's already damaged enough as a result of everything that’s already happened. How much time do you need before you think you’ll be ready?"

"I don't know," Tempest meekly answered, as she hung her head.. "But I hope it's not forever. You're right, I would be honored to serve as your captain of the royal guard, Twilight, and I can't delay that opportunity forever. It’s time for me to grow up and get wise. I need to open up my eyes. But I just need time, time to move on from the wounds. I want to be captain, but only when I know I’m ready. When can we leave for the Canterlot cemetery?"

"At any time you wish, Tempest." Twilight replied.

As Tempest left the room, Twilight was just about to return to her work, when she felt a small tear forming at the corner of her left eye. She had just agreed to bring Tempest to the Canterlot Cemetery, when some of the less fortunate ponies who didn't survive the Storm King's attack were being buried. Fortunately, it hadn’t been anyone she’d known for a long period of time, but the very fact that there had been innocent deaths at the hands of a would be conqueror, guaranteed that emotions would run.

Later that day, Twilight, Starlight and Spike brought a sheltered Tempest to the Canterlot Cemetery, where a funeral was already taking place for a pony that had been killed in the invasion of Canterlot. Tempest couldn't bring herself to watch the funeral though, and instead focus on the graves of her parents. "I hope you can forgive me, Mom and Dad," Tempest thought to herself as she stood in front of the two graves. "I hope you can forgive me after all I’ve done to you, our family, and our homeland."
