The Talk - Kelseyalicia - My Little Pony Generation 4: Equestria Girls (Cartoon 2013) [Archive of Our Own] (2024)

It was a week after the events when Wallflower utilized the Memory Stone for the final time to get back at Sunset Shimmer, who again hadn't known the girl or done anything to her. Sunset's human parents, Sunfire Daydreamer, and Yin Yang, felt that Wallflower still didn't comprehend the full extent of her actions. As Sunset's parents, they believed the only sensible action was to have a serious talk with Wallflower's parents regarding their daughter's actions.

They're currently at the Blush family's house, sitting in their cozy living room, filled with fresh blossoms from the garden outside. Potted plants and garden-themed decorations beautify the room, reflecting Mrs. Blush's passion for gardening. She had just served them herbal tea and offered them some nutritious snacks before they got down to the serious discussion Sunset's parents felt needed to be addressed.

The red-haired, curvy Sunfire looked exceptionally distraught about what had happened to her child. She struggled to keep her temper in check as she addressed Wallflower's parents. "Mr. and Mrs. Blush, thank you for meeting with us. Frankly, we're outraged about what Wallflower did to Sunset. Our daughter was profoundly hurt, not only emotionally but mentally, by Wallflower's actions. She thought she had lost everything and everyone she cared about.

Also, Sunset now has to go to her therapist twice a week since the incident because it scarred her that badly. She's been in therapy for some time now. However, your daughter's unwarranted actions have forced us to increase our daughter's mental health treatment."

Mrs. Blush, with moss-green hair like her daughter, neatly braided and tucked under a white straw hat, nodded somberly. She was fiddling with the hem of her bright green sundress. Mrs. Blush looked distraught herself. She felt that teaching her daughter to garden should've been a healthy coping skill. She never dreamed that her child was capable of such malicious actions.

Hanging her head shamefully, she croaked out, "We are so sorry. We had no idea Wallflower was feeling so invisible and desperate. We feel horrible that it reached this point without us noticing. We failed her and everyone she hurt."

Sunfire's royal blue eyes were filled with pain and hurt. Her heart was heavy with the harm that Wallflower had caused. Her outrage only intensified after Wallflower's parents admitted they'd been clueless about their daughter's behavior or mental state.

Her husband, Yin Yang, voiced his feelings and thoughts on the matter. "This was beyond a prank or misunderstanding. Wallflower used the Memory Stone to erase herself from everyone's memories at school, which is what caused her problem. Then, she was a petty, spiteful brat, wiping everyone in town's positive memories of our daughter. She even did that to us, her parents!

Sunset went through an excruciating ordeal, believing her friends and family had turned against her. She even sacrificed her own memories to save everyone else. Do you understand how devastating that was for her?"

Mr. Blush, with Wallflower's distinctive dull brown eyes and freckles, looked down in immense shame. He was dressed in a conservative suit, as he was an accountant. Doing someone else's taxes seemed far easier than struggling to find the right words regarding his only child's atrocious behavior. Finally, Wallflower's father began to speak, knowing his words were insufficient. "We can't begin to express how ashamed we are for what Sunset went through. Wallflower made a terrible mistake, and we're deeply mortified that we didn't see this coming or stop it sooner. We want to make things right, but we know an apology isn't enough."

Mr. Blush then gazed into the indigo eyes of the tall man dressed in black and white before him. He didn't seem satisfied with what he had just said and couldn't blame him either.

Sunfire resumed explaining their feelings. "What Wallflower did was not just wrong; it was incredibly damaging and cruel. It's not just a matter of saying sorry. There must be serious consequences and steps to ensure this never happens again," the protective mother stated firmly.

Mrs. Blush's eyes filled with huge tears as she spoke, her voice trembling. "We understand where you are coming from. We're horrified by what she did. Our daughter needs to understand the full impact of her actions and face the consequences. We are committed to helping her learn from this and make amends, whatever it takes."

Yin Yang's expression softened slightly, though his tone remained firm. "We don't want Wallflower to suffer the same way our daughter has. Nevertheless, she needs to understand the impact of her actions thoroughly. It's crucial she learns from this and works toward making things right. As her parents, we hope you will guide her in understanding empathy and taking accountability."

Mr. Blush nodded, his voice filled with regret. "We will. We're already looking into counseling for her. We're devastated that she felt so unnoticed that she resorted to something like this. We hope that with some therapy, she'll understand empathy for others and the serious repercussions of her actions. Community service might be a good way for her to start giving back and learning about positive social interactions."

Sunfire took a deep breath, trying to keep her emotions in check. "Sunset has forgiven Wallflower, which is more than we can say for ourselves right now. We need to see Wallflower genuinely committed to changing and making better choices. This isn't just about Sunset—it's about ensuring a healthier environment for everyone."

Mrs. Blush wiped her eyes, nodding emphatically. "Again, we understand why you don't feel Wallflower showed genuine remorse. Nor should your daughter have to be the one to apologize when she didn't do anything to our daughter.

We agree that Wallflower needs to work and show genuine remorse if she wants to make amends. We are ashamed we didn't see how much she was struggling. We will do everything we can to ensure she understands the weight of her actions and takes steps to change."

Yin Yang glanced at Sunfire, then back at the Blush family. "We must work together to help Sunset and Wallflower heal from this. Counseling and community service are good starts, so she might start to understand the value of positive interactions and the consequences of her harmful actions."

Mr. Blush squeezed his wife's hand, his voice steady. "We agree. We'll make sure Wallflower gets the help she requires. Furthermore, does whatever it takes to make up for the pain she caused. Again, we cannot describe how deeply sorry we are for everything."

Sunfire finally allowed herself a small, hopeful smile. "Ultimately, we want everyone to learn and grow from this. We aim to foster an environment where empathy, understanding, and personal growth are prioritized. We hope you will support Wallflower in taking the necessary steps toward making things right."

Mrs. Blush managed a grateful nod. "We completely agree. Thank you for being willing to work with us on this. We want to ensure Wallflower learns from her mistakes and that something like this never happens again."

The parents talked for a few more minutes. They agreed that Principal Celestia needed to be informed of what happened and that Wallflower would face punishment at home. The Blushes only asked that Sunset's parents not sue their daughter, which they said they couldn't anyway because magic wouldn't fly in a court of law.

They agreed to meet again soon to discuss the subject further; however, both sets of parents needed to be with their daughters right now. They decided to meet again next week to discuss what should be done, and with that, Sunset's parents left to go home to comfort their daughter while the Blushes went to confront their daughter about her actions.
