The roars of cheers and rejoice can be heard from the streets of Canterlot city, all was thought to have been lost at the hands of the dreaded Changeling queen and her hundreds of minions. But thanks to the brave efforts of the main 6 and the soon to be royal couple, the queen and her supporters were driven out (or should I say blown out ) into the unknown regions of Equestria . With the invaders gone and the insuring threat terminated, the citizens rejoiced to their saviors knowing that it was all over and that the royal wedding could now commence without anymore interruptions. However there was one pony who wasn't looking forward to continuing on with the wedding festivities.

The young unicorn stood in place on the exact same spot that Chrysalis was propelled from moments ago, she showed the least bit of relief or happiness despite the fact that things were now back to normal but not for her. The memories of the practice rehearsal began playing in her mind as she continued to stare of into space with the blankest expression imaginable, how could they have done this to her? She asked herself as she stood in place, she tried to warn them, expose the changeling queen, and stop her brother from making a life threatening mistake. But instead of taking her seriously , they instead accused her of being jealous and throwing a tantrum. Her own brother berated and banished her from the wedding right in front of her, while her friends, little brother figure and mentor followed suit walking away showing true disappointment towards the young unicorn.

Her blank expression soon turned to burning rage at her so called friends "betrayal" All she was trying to do was warn them about Chrysalis , but all she got was her best mare position stripped and left in the cold. Worst of all no one bothered to come looking for her, they just went on ahead without her not even showing the least bit of worry. If she hadn't have found Cadence from the secret mines that she was teleported to by the evil Changeling queen who knows what would have happened to either of them? And they probably wouldn't have cared, they would have celebrated and rejoiced that this jealous little unicorn was out of the picture and that they can continue on in peace. At least that's what her mind was telling her.

She continues to ponder over her dark thought's, not knowing that she was being surveyed by the same group who left her that fateful day. Each one of them had various concerns on their faces riddled with nothing more but regret and sadness over their harsh treatment last night from the practice rehearsal. They stared at the broken unicorn in front of them knowing exactly why she was all upset and quiet while wishing that they could go back and fix this, but given how horrible they were to young Twilight Sparkle this was almost impossible. The blue maned stallion looked the most ashamed given that his harsh words from yesterday instigated everything, he wished so badly that he could take it all back and to give his little sister the biggest warmest apologetic hug imaginable. But given her condition, any form of apology almost seemed impossible. After what felt like an eternity, one of them finally mustered up the courage to make the biggest mistake by walk up to the broken and angry unicorn.

"Twilight?" Fluttershy said nervously as Twilight remained silent not even bothering to look back towards the shy pegasus, unknown to her a small snarl began to form on the unicorns face as the pegasus continued to speak. " Listen we're so sorry for how we treated you last night, we should have taken you seriously given your track record with these kinds of things. We were complete jerks and I don't blame you for hating us, I know you'll probably not forgive us anytime soon but I promise that we'll do what ever it takes to........................................................

Fluttershys words were cut short as a hoof connected to her face in a hard punch which sent her flying a few meters away from the angered unicorn. The others stared in shock at the sight not expecting Twilight of all ponies to act so violently towards anyone especially the kindest pony in Ponyville. A few of them were quick to rush towards the pegasus who was sobbing slightly while clenching her broken nose which was dripping small amounts of blood on the floor not just from the punch, but from the impact after the assault. The farmer of the group soon took out a handkerchief as a makeshift tourniquet holding it close to the pegasus's nose in an attempt to stop the bleeding as the rainbow haired pegasus glared angrily at the unicorn that had the nerve to strike at one of her closest friends.

"Twilight what the hell is wrong with you?!" She shouted.

"Yeah that was completely uncalled for sugarcube!" Applejack replied.

"Darling how could do something so brutish to poor Fluttershy?!" Rarity jumped in, hearing this finally snapped Twilight to her senses as she finally looked on at the group with the most angriest expression imaginable which nearly sent shivers down their spines.

"Poor Fluttershy?" She began quietly, but soon increased her tone. "POOR FLUTTERSHY!? What about me huh?! Where were you guys when I was trapped down that damn mine all night with no food or water and nothing but rocks and minerals to keep me company! Me and Cadence could have died down there but non of you cared , you just went on ahead with the stupid wedding without me, and you didn't even think to check on me or even come looking for me?! WOW some friends you guys are!" Hearing this the others knew that she was right, they didn't think to go looking for her believing that giving her time to cool of was the better choice, but boy were they wrong.

"My most faithful student , your right we should have taken you seriously and even go to check on you" Celestia jumped in. " But you are not innocent either young lady. You just barged into the wedding hall accusing my niece of being evil without the slightest.........................................

"Piece of evidence I know!" Twilight interrupted. " I know I should have brought proof first and that was my mistake. But after witnessing Chrysalis cast that mind control spell on my so called brother, I was desperate to stop her before it was too late. But it seems that it was already too late and now look what's happened! Even if i did bring proof you guys would still not believe me and just write it off as jealousy as you guys only cared about your stupid bridemaids positions then your own friend who's always had your back since day one"

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Applejack shouted as she continued to apply pressure to the sobbing pegasus's broken nose. " Of course we would have believed ya! Even if your brother and even Celestia didn't take you seriously we would have had your back all the way partner"

"After today, I don't believe any of that bullcrap "element of honesty" Twilight replied in the coldest tone imaginable shocking the farmgirl to the core. " I should have known better than to believe that any of you were my friends, all the times we've spent together were all in vain and a lie. From your selfish desires for the extra ticket that I won for the Grand galloping gala, to you shouting at me for using magic during winter clean up , and now this. This is the last straw, I no longer want anything to do with you traitors" that last sentence brought shocked looks from the rest of the group as the unicorn just renounced her friendship with each of them. Unknown to them Cadence who's been surveying the whole conversation began to wonder what they were talking about from their harsh words, abandonment, and going on without Twilight. Desperate for answers she asked her soon to be husband what she missed these past few while being trapped underground by the Changeling queen.

"Shiny what is she talking about?" Cadence asked her fiance who had a look of regret and fear on his face, feeling too afraid to recite what he caused yesterday. Seeing her Hubbies expression made her even more desperate for answers. " I asked you a question honey, what did you , my aunt, and everyone else do to Twilight yesterday?" Hearing his wife's tone turn more serious, the stallion finally mustered up the courage to admit his wrong doings after realizing that his grave was now dug.

"Last night while we were rehearsing the wedding ceremony,Twilight barged in with a look of anger and frustration" The stallion began. " She started to rant about you being evil and putting me under some sort of mind control spell which we all thought was ridiculous, after her rant the imposter ran out of the room in tears and I was absolutely furious thinking that Twilight was being jealous and hated you for "controlling her friends". I was so mad that I ended up banning Twily from the wedding, and I soon left with the others following suit leaving Twilight all alone in tears" Cadence couldn't believe what she was hearing as a look of shock started to form as Shining Armor continued.

"The day of the wedding I started to feel bad about my harsh words towards my sister" He continued. " When I went out to look for Twilight to apologize, the changeling queens mind control spell soon took over and alas I never got the chance too. Eventually the spell was broken thanks to your love and we managed to successfully drive the evil queen away from Canterlot. After that I was ready to apologize to Twily, but given her current state I know it's far too late for that and I don't blame her for being so furious" As he finished his little story Cadence's look of shock soon turned to one of pure disappointment.

"How could you!?" she shouted. " How could you be so cruel to your little sister?" She then pointed towards the main 5, spike, and Celestia. " And you guys for just leaving behind the one pony who's always had your back ever since she arrived in Ponyville?! You guys have only known me or should I say the imposter for two days while you've known Twilight for a long time, how could you guys be so blind as to take the side of someone whom you've just met?" the others were too scared to say anything and just bowed their heads in shame knowing that Cadence was right, they did take poor Twilight for granted and instead comforted a pony that they just met instead of their closest friend. Shining Armor finally mustered the courage to answer his angered wife.

"I didn't know about the imposter honey I swear!" He replied. " I was just furious at the fact that Twilight made you cry that I let my anger get the better of me after seeing you run out in tears. I was a fool to fall for that insects trickery as I knew that you would never act like that towards anyone, but me and everyone else just brushed it off as wedding stress. Let me tell you, if you were in my shoes and the changeling queen held me hostage and impersonated me instead, would you have reacted the same way if Twilight accused me of being evil?" Hearing this Cadence finally calmed down and took a long deep breath before speaking again.

"Yes" She began. " I would have been upset at Twilight if she accused you of being evil honey, but I would never go that far and ban her from the wedding. I know you were planning on apologizing to her early today before the fake wedding, but did any of you even think to go look or even check on Twilight when she didn't return last night?" The others just continued bow their heads to ashamed to speak until Celestia broke the ice.

"No we didn't" Celestia said. " We simply just brushed it off thinking that it would have been best to let Twilight cool down believing that she would apologize to you later. But we were wrong, and thanks to our foolishness I almost lost not only you, my faithful student , but the entire city due to my arrogance. And for that i can never forgive myself for my selfish actions towards my faithful student"

"you mean former faithful student?" Twilight interrupted. " Don't think your getting out of this either princess, after today I no longer believe in your bullshit lessons about friendship. Cause all they taught me was that having friends is a waste of time cause sooner or later they'll just ditch ya if you do something to piss them off or only pretend to like you for the benefits. Go and find another element of magic your highness cause i no longer want to be under your wing anymore" Celestia could feel her heart shatter after hearing her students resignation from her teachings, Cadence who's been surveying the whole conversation while disappointed at her aunt couldn't help but feel remorse and sympathy for her, unknown to then two guards walked in after hearing the commotion.

"Is everything alright your majesty? One of them asked as Celestia looked over with sad eyes.

"Yes everything's fine boys" She replied. "We were just............................

"Finishing this conversation" Twilight rudely interrupted. " If you think an apology is enough to fix this then you and everyone else is solely mistaken Celestia" The others continued to bow their heads in shame as Twilight began to trek out of the room rudely pushing the two guards out of her way. " I'm done, I am so done with all of this. If you guys want to continue on with this stupid wedding then be my guest, but I am so done with friendship and especially you guys" As Twilight was about to walk out the door she felt a pair of small hands grabbing her foreleg in an attempt to stop her in her tracks. The unicorn stopped for a second to find her assistant/little brother figure Spike looking at her with sad pleading eyes.

"Twilight please don't leave. He said sadly. " Your right we should have listened to you I should have listened to you, but you cant honestly stand there and tell me that you no longer want anything to do with friendship or any of us? Please I'm begging you just give us another chance, we promise that we'll do whatever it takes to prove to you that we care about you and that we're truly sorry for our actions yesterday big sis" Twilight looked on at the sad and broken dragon pleading on the floor as a look of pity started to form for a short time.

"You were like a little brother to me Spike" Twilight replied in a disappointed tone. " I figured that at least you, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and maybe even Rainbow dash would have taken my side. Answer me this and you better be honest with me. Why didn't you take my side?" Hearing this the young dragon was afraid to answer knowing that it would lead to some drastic consequences, but seeing her glare was too much as he knew that lying would only make it worse. So the dragon too the leap of faith and finally answered her question preparing for the inevitable.

"I didn't want to get kicked out too" He said sadly as tears started to form, Twilight was in a state of shock after hearing that her young assistant didn't have her back out of fear of his wedding position getting stripped as well. Her shock soon turned to anger at the thought of her little brother figure choosing a wedding over the one mare who's cared for him ever since she hatched him from his egg a few years ago, an angry snarl soon formed on her face as she raised a hoof in the air. Spike was quick to shut his eyes knowing that a big slap was about to happen, he froze in place knowing that it's what he deserved for not having his sisters back. However Twilight's hoof was stopped in it's track by another pair, Twilight looked to the side to find non other than Rarity who was quick to put an end to the would have been slap to the face.

"That's quite enough darling!" she said as Twilight's snarl got bigger and bigger. " I get that your sore at us and you have every right to be, but if you think I'll let you harm one hair on my lil Spikey wikey then you have another thing coming......................"

"MIND YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!" Twilight roared and in a split second tossed the fashionista to the side with her magic causing the purple maned unicorn to slam straight into a nearby marble pillar, a sickening cracking sound could be heard as the mare slammed into the pillar and fell down to the floor hard on her face as a piece of her now shattered horn landed right in front of her unconscious state.

"Rarity!" Spike shouted and rushed over to the unconscious unicorn as the others minus Applejack who was still tending to Fluttershy followed suit. Twilight looked on at the group who surrounded the fashionista with a look of disgust.

"Pathetic" She said coldly. " You'll tend to a injured pony but yet you won't tend to a friend in danger? You damn hypocrites will never learn" After her statement Twilight found a pair of spears pointed towards her belonging to the two guards who were quick to take action with looks of seriousness on each of their faces.

"Twilight Sparkle that is enough!" One of them said.

"Your under arrest for assault and battery, I'm afraid you'll have to come with us kid" The other stated, Twilight however was unfazed by the fact that she was about to be arrested for her harsh actions.

"I got a better idea" She said still unfazed. " How bout I just leave?" And in a split second the unicorn harnessed her magic and soon teleported herself out of the room leaving behind a bright flash. The others looked on to find Twilight Sparkle has left the room leaving everything behind, the two guards were shocked at the mare for not only resisting arrest but for teleporting out of the room right in front of them. They looked at their ruler as one of them questioned what their next move should be.

"Your majesty Twilight Sparkle has gone rogue, what are your orders?" He asked, Celestia however was in a broken state not expecting Twilight of all people to go out of character and react so violently towards anyone. She looked around to the injured Fluttershy and Rarity laying unconscious on the floor before giving them her orders.

"Take miss Rarity and Fluttershy to the medical wing immediately" She replied pointing at the first guard, she then turned her attention to the other. " You gather the other guards and search around the city for Twilight, when you find her do not and I repeat do not arrest her ( yet ) I want to have a word with her first before discussing what to do with her. Is that understood?"

"Yes your majesty!" The two of them saluted and were quick to proceed with their respected orders as Celestia continued to watch on to this most horrendous scene, but she wasn't the only one. Shining armor who also looked on at the horrendous scene silently berated himself for not taking his sisters words seriously and nearly costing the entire city of canterlot from his foolish mistake. And seeing his poor sister in this angry state made him realize that an apology was now easier said than done. As the events of last night began to play in his head tears started to from from the heartbroken stallion as his soon to be bride looked on with a look of pity.
