"What are you doing out here, [your name]?" somepony asks.
"Huh?" you say, turning around to see Cadance approaching you."Oh, hey, Cadance. I was just getting some fresh air on the balcony."
"For six hours?" she asks.
"I was not out here for six... hours..." you say this confidently at first, but then you see that the sun has already set and the moon and stars are out. It makes you wonder: was Celestia able to lower the sun herself, or did Luna have to take over for her?
"You know I can sense emotions, right?" she continued.
"Yeah, so?"
"I knew how frustrated you were with Celestia, and I sensed your outburst." Fuck, she knows. "I don't know exactly what you said, but I know it was really harsh; harsh enough to bring her to tears. I thought you knew better than to let your emotions get the better of you."
Instead of cracking, you stand your ground against your old foalsitter. After standing up to Celestia, nothing can scare you at this point. "I said what needed to be said, Cadance," you say. "Celestia wouldn't have gotten the message otherwise."
The pink alicorn simply sighs. "You know, I heard that last bit you said to Celestia. Something along the lines of... oh, how she 'wasn't your real aunt'? Why would you say something so cold? She obviously loves you like any blood relative of hers, so why remind her of the harsh reality that you two aren't related?"
"You don't understand how I feel, Cadance."
At this point she starts to get angry with you. "I understand perfectly, [your name]! I understand because Celestia isn't my real aunt, either!"
Your eyes widen when you hear this, and the argument you had prepared gets lost in your throat.
"I was just a pegasus pony when I first met her. She took me in and coronated me as an alicorn princess. Sure she may have doted on me, but it was because she loved me. Celestia cared for the both of us, and to just yell that she wasn't your real aunt... you might as well have spit in her face!" Feeling that she's said enough, Cadance turns around and walks away, but then she stops and starts talking again, without even bothering to look at you. "I thought you really had matured since you were little, [your name], but it's obvious you still have a lot of growing up to do."
With that, the angered princess walks out of your sight, leaving you to reflect on what she said to you. Maybe you should just swallow your pride and apologize to Celestia. Then again, she still totally humiliated you, and part of you still thinks that your anger was justified. What do you do.
