Twilight starts to bawl
>Princess, I, it's just, I-
Celestia sets down her tea and shushes Twilight and smiles
>Twilight, use your words, tell me why you're upset
>Princess *sniff* I lived... an ENTIRE life while I was unconscious
>I grew up in a broken home, with parents who pretended to love me and an alcoholic father
>then, in my youth, all my friends were characters in a fictional tv show
>tv show?
>like a book but with light and it reads itself to you
>and I grew up with this show, with all my friends, even seeing myself, it was the only thing that gave me happiness or made me feel loved
Celestia puts down her tea, she's actually sort of invested in the story
>you tried to make friends didn't you?
>No, I didn't. I lived my entire life so scared of rejection that I was never brave enough to try, and it only made me feel more and more worthless. I had no accomplishments, nopony to encourage me to do better, no shoulder to cry on.
>my only comfort, like always, were my friends. but because they seemed fictional I felt so distant from them.
>the closest thing I had to friends were strangers I talked to on 4chan
>fortune? well, it sounds like you DID have friends.
>hardly! all they ever did was continuously try to get a rise out of each other, see they also liked my friends, but they would bully each other for liking the wrong ones. Even I succumbed to their behavior, not because I actually hated anypony or because I genuinely wished ill of them.
>I was just so attention starved that in my desperation it was the only thing I could feel comfortable doing to feel acknowledged in any way.
>and then, *sniff* a-and then
>TWILIGHT!
>h-huh?
>Twilight, it was just a nightmare. I'm not my sister so I don't know much about the meanings of dreams. But it sounds like for the entire duration of your "life" your subconscious was reaching out to your friends, it would seem even there you six have a strong connection
Celestia scooches Twilight closer with her wing
>thank you Princess...
>come on Twilight, I still want to enjoy my day off and hangout with my student. Let's go do something fun.
