Bella's P.O.V

It had been a few days since the war ended and since then, it's been much quieter all over Equestria. Many ponies didn't come out of their homes for a few days. Some ponies were forced to leave their home due to their homes being destroyed in the battle or just getting trauma from the battle alone.

I was one of the few ponies who hadn't left their home since the battle. The whole time I had been grieving my coltfriend's passing. Everything else happening outside of that was irrelevant to me. Me and Zephyr hadn't seen each other as much throughout their relationship due to all of his duties, but our future goal was to spend more time with one another. Of course, that could not happen anymore, now that he was gone. I was unsure of how to cope with the huge loss and decided it was best if I isolated myself from everypony and everything. It was what I'd been doing most of my life.

Maybe that's what I'd been doing wrong. I thought.

I hardly hung out with my friends, and if I did hang out with somepony, it was typically just Kat. Compared to everypony else, I bonded more with just Kat.

That's when I heard a light knock on the door. It wasn't enough to get me out of my bed. I hadn't moved from it other than to go to the bathroom and eat a quick snack. Afterward, it was straight back in bed with tissue boxes. The knock grew louder, and it started to irritate me. I wanted to shout "go away" but I realized that the pony knocking may be important considering I never get guests. Only three ponies truly know my address by heart. I slowly arose from bed and started walking out the bedroom door. The knocks continued while I slowly dragged my body across the room. I finally made it to my front door at last and looked out the window beside it. Kat was waiting in front of my door with a saddle bag on her back. I quickly smiled and opened the door.

"Oh my god, hi! I was just thinking about you!" I tried to squeal. But Kat knew that I would never be that happy during a time like this. She smiled warmly and lent out a hoof.

"Listen Bell, let me come inside please," she asked politely. I opened the door wider so that she could walk inside.

"Everything alright?" I asked, hoping it wasn't more bad news.

"I should be asking you that! How's everything been? I haven't seen you since...y'know..." My smile faded slightly. I was unsure if I wanted to talk about it yet. Talking about his death would only make me feel worse, and would not help Zephyr magically appear back in my hooves.

"I'm doing...better for sure. But I do think about him daily, so it's hard to focus on anything else." Kat sat on my front sofa and pulled something out of her bag. It was a small purple box that was tied with a big blue ribbon. She handed it over to me and I picked it up with my hoof. I looked at the box a little more before taking off the top. Inside was a blue diamond necklace that glistened through my eyes. I stare at Kat up and down before smiling big.

"Listen, I knew how upset you were feeling, so I asked Rarity if it was possible to buy that necklace from her shop. Considering she said she was going on a break. But I still managed to convince her. I wasn't leaving that shop without the necklace, because I knew you'd love it," the white mare explained. "Of course, a little piece of jewelry won't change everything, but you know, it's just a little gift from me to you." I wrapped a hoof around her neck, touching her hair a bit.

"Thank you," I said, closing the box. I sat it on the glass table in front of Kat and sat next to her. "How's everypony else doing?"

"I haven't spoken to any of them actually, just you." My eyes widened. It made me realize that me yelling at them all was the last thing I said to pretty much everypony.

"Oh, that's not good..."

"Isn't that what you wanted? I thought you said-"

"Yeah, but I didn't mean anything. I was just...I don't know...upset. And I just wanted answers."

"Understandably, you acted out, you were angry and no pony else can feel what you are currently feeling right now."

"Yeah, but I'm now realizing that I blamed Written Script for something that was out of her control. Celia too. They're both average ponies like me and you, what could they have possibly done to save him? I mean I still don't know what happened, but after watching the battle from inside my home, there was no way they'd be able to defeat Amirah alone."

"So what do you think we should do then?" Kat asked.

"I think that maybe we should all...meet up and chat," I suggested.

"Ugh," the white mare scoffed. "No offense Bella, but I doubt that would work. When have we ever all been together?"

"Well...Kelsey's sleepover if you exclude the colts..."

"And do you remember what happened at Kelsey's sleepover?"

"Yes, but Kat, maybe this time it can be different since we're all equally hurting."

"Equally...hurting?"

"Okay maybe not everypony, but most of us. As friends, we should be there for one another and respect if no pony wants to come out and talk." Kat stayed silent. "Here, I'll just call everypony up." Kat shot a glare at me.

"You mean like...right now?"

"Well, yes, but to tell them we're meeting tomorrow in Canterlot. We'll stop at a store and sit at one of the outdoor tables." I said, rising on my hooves. The phone was in the other room, so I left Kat to start making some calls. She had a telephone book with everypony's number listed and decided to start with the first name that was put down.

Written Script's.
