Winter Rose *On Hiatus*

Chapter 4

"Rosie, I would like you to join her."

"What? Am I being a bad Princess? Did I do something wrong?"

"No sweetie, not at all. I want you to join her so she'll have somepony she already knows. I'm thinking if she sees how you interact with everypony, maybe she'll pick up on it and do it herself."

"Okay. If that's the reason, I don't mind it. Are my wings and horn going to be taken away?"

"Only if you want. This isn't your punishment."

"In that case, Just my horn. I like flying too much to just let it go."

"Alright. Go send a letter to your Mother and I'll see you in the throne room in twenty minutes."

"Sounds good."

I teleported into my room at the Crystal Castle and started writing a letter. Not to Mother, no. If I sent her a letter she won't even read it. She glance at it and set it down before doing more work. It was to Sparky and Draco! Those two were my besties ever since my first competition. 

Sparky lived in the Apple Family Orchard with Applebreeze and Old Lady Apple Bloom. She's a really sweet old lady. She taught me how to make Zap Apple Jam when I was a little philly. Draco comes and goes but like to hang around the Everfree Forest, but I know he usually sticks around Sparky. I think he has the hots for him, but that's just my own thoughts. 

After I wrote the letter I made it turn into a bird and fly to the Apple Farm. I then flew down the halls, passing by Uncle Shining Armor. 

"Hey Rosie! I didn't know you were here."

"Hi Uncle. Auntie asked me to come. Are you headed to the throne room?"

"Yeah, Cadence came up with a way to solve Flurry Heart's...issues."

"I already heard the plan, would you like to know?"

"Please, I don't want to get blindsided."

I proceeded to inform him of the plan, leaving out my role in it, and he reluctantly agreed that it sounded like the best solution. The guards opened the doors to the throne room and Flurry was already there with a milkshake. 

"Ugh, what is she still doing here?"

"I invited her. Watch your manners young lady." 

Aunt Cadence was super annoyed and angry when we arrived, so I automatically assumed it was Flurry Heart that caused it. 

"Shining Armor, I trust that Winter Rose has informed you?"

"She has, and I agree that it's the only way."

Uncle sat in a throne next to Aunt Cadence's. I stood next to and slightly behind Aunt Cadence on the other side. Flurry Heart must've finally clued into that what was about to happen was extremely serious. 

"What's going on?"

"I have thought long and hard on what to do with you Flurry Heart. You abused your title as Princess for eighteen years. You hurt countless creatures, from Ponies to Changelings and everypony in between. I have finally thought of the perfect punishment for you."

Me and Uncle helped support Auntie's magic as she took Flurry's wings and horn away from her. She now stood there, a normal pink earth pony with a crowned crystal heart cutie mark. 

"What did you do to me?!"

"You are no longer a Princess. Winter Rsoe, if you would."

I flew down and stood beside Flurry Heart. Aunt Cadence banished my horn, which made my appearance return to my beautiful normal self. Without my horn I could no longer use magic so I could no longer change my form. 

"Flurry Heart until you can learn to kind to others, you will be living in Ponyville with Winter Rose. She will give me daily reports on your progress. You will get your wings and magic back when I think you've earned them."

"Mom, you can't do this to me! Dad?!"

"Don't raise your voice at your mother. I won't help you Flurry Heart. You've made your bed, and destroyed it in the process. It's time to learn to fix your own problems now. How to you expect to take over the Crystal Empire when all it's citizens hate you?"

I could see Flurry Heart regret all her life choices now. Now all her consequences bit her in the butt, all at once. 

"Winter Rose, a word?"

"Of course Princess Cadence."

I followed Auntie out of the room into the hall. 

"Rosie, do you have a house in Ponyville? I don't want to send there with nowhere to live."

"Don't worry Auntie. I have a small bakery close to the Apple Farm. I have a guest room Flurry can stay in. If she doesn't like it she can sleep outside."

"Okay, thank you dear. I'll send Flurry Heart outside. Will you go get tickets for the train?"

"No, I'll just teleport...okay, I'll go get the tickets."

I laughed at my almost use of magic. No magic, no teleportation. Fine with me, teleporting screws with my tummy.
