On the plus side, both Gear and Silverpine were right here, so Heartflight could talk to them right now if she wanted.
"Oh Sandy, so cute when you blush," She grinned and hugged her friend and tussled his forelock again. She then saw Heartflight and her expression mood whiplashed to essentially this http://i.imgur.com/LWZja.jpg as she instinctively placed her hooves over head.

Sliverpine expression became politely neutral as he spotted Heartflight. "Oh. You," he said flatly.

Heartflight's gut clenched and she avoided eye contact, starting to walk towards the kitchen once again feeling terrible. She just couldn't face them, she was a coward and she knew it.

Mystic just frowns. Her voice slips back to Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's.
Alright, you know what, this is just stupid. Gearstride, Silverpine, Heartflight is sorry. She went overboard, it was uncalled for, and she knows it. We're supposed to be having fun singing songs, not holding grudges over having syrup being poured on us. Make up with each other, and get back to having fun like friends are supposed to do. She says crossing her front hooves and glaring at them with a stare that could make Celestia's mane stand on end.

Sliverpine raised an eyebrow at her words. "You do know you can't really force us to make up if she doesn't want to," he said in the same flat voice, locking eyes with her glare. He had seen worse, and being a coltly colt meant he had twice the bravado and none of the adult mellowness.

"Thank you, good sir," she said formally, smiling a little at his choice of colours. It was obvious he picked out a blue umbrella for her. She held her umbrella open and waited near the door for him.

"I'd rather she not run away, instead of talking it over with us, that 'timid oh woes must run away behavior'... I'm not that sympathetic to it," Gearstride replied. She sighed and shook her head not really taking to Mystic's butting in.

"Thou are welcomed milady," He bowed his head escorting her out. He shut and locked the door behind him. And so the pair made their way to the Grills and Gwyn Lovey Thread Bits or Credit Thread.

While Gear and Silverpine were talking with Mystic, Sandy picked himself up and, still thoroughly flushed, trotted after Heartflight. If she kept retreating to the kitchen, he would walk in front of her and stop her. He'd beaten himself up once today over not being there for his friends, and he'd eat his nonexistent hat if he'd do it again.
He whispered, "Heartflight, wait." His voice was stern, but not harsh. If/When Heartflight looked at him, it would look like he was focusing on something deep inside her, rather than her face. After a moment, he continued: "Ah know ya'll are scared. Confrontin' ponies ain't an easy thing to do. Heck, ah can hardly manage it mahself. But these are yer friends we're talkin' about; this is somethin' that's worth doin'. You stay here, an' ah guarantee you nothin'll come of it, an' you'll likely lose them. But if you go an' tell them what you an' I both know you're thinkin', then there's a good chance you'll set things right. In the end, ya'll got nothin' to lose by talkin' with them."
"Now ah've seen friendships come through messes that make this little 'ol thing look like a walk in the park. But ah'm approachin' the end of what ah can do; you gotta step up, an' trust that your fellow ponies'll hear you out. An' remember," He smiled at her. "Yer friends are right here with you, an' ah believe you can do this."

Night Jewel felt an urge to rapidly move her hoof so as to make an impact against her forehead.
"So because she's stuck being paralysed by fear, you can't forgive her for a little playfulness that goes too far? Wonderful. I guess if you get all nervous about it, Sandy won't forgive you for teasing him, either. Now come on. She's clearly sorry for what she did, but you're just making things harder for her. Besides, compared to a few things I've done, this is really a petty thing to get so mad about."

"We're foals, its our job to make petty choices once in a while....hmmph...You're clearly don't understand my point of view. Sure, I don't mind talking this over...What I don't care for is the cowardice running away...walking off..whatever woe is my fear to talk to somepony face to face," The filly responded with a short blow of air. Gearstride was the sort who couldn't connect with a pony on that level, she was the sort who confronted the other pony when she had to apologize. She did not really 'get' Heartflight's behavior. Then again, she rarely did ever feel the need to apologize for her actions in the first place.

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 5
Heartflight paused for a moment as Sandy seemed to look ... through her, gritting her teeth. "You don't get it," she said. "I can't. I just can't do it!"

So, you're not going to accept her apology, even though she's clearly sorry, because she can't work up the courage to give it herself? Because she poured syrup all over you? That feels about as petty as holding a grudge over a mustache being drawn on one's face. So, in a sense, you're not ponying up and talking about it either. Mystic says, clearly grumpy.
And, just so nopony accuses me of being unfair.... she flies over to get two pitchers of syrup.
I invite anypony here to pour both of these all over me if they wish. she says, putting the two jugs on the ground. Don't worry Sweet Dreams, I'll clean it up. she assures her.

On the inside, Sandy was praying he wouldn't freak out this time. It was too late to back out now, he had already decided he was going to help this pony. He could feel a lot of fear from Heartflight, and that fear was starting to disturb memories. Memories of a time when he felt a greater fear inside somepony else, and anger, and...he shoved those feelings back and tried to stop them from growing further.
On the outside, Sandy kept up his gaze, trying to find something more in Heartflight's words and actions. "And ah can't let a friend of mine do this to herself when ah've still got something to say about it. Ah git yer afraid. Ah git yer anxious an' worried. Ah...ah know all too well how you're feelin'. Facin' somethin' you know's goin' t'be hard, an' it's somethin' you really should do, but every bone in yer body's tellin' you t'turn tail an' run 'cause it's not goin' t'be fun at all. Ah've been there."
"An' yer right. Ah don't git this, but ah sure as hay want to. Ah want t'know why you can't do this. Ah want t'be able t'help you. Will ya'll let me, Heartflight?"

((I'll assume no posted responses means you are both ready to jump a few days.))
Serilus yawned as he arrived back at the Civic Center. He trotted over to the kitchens and grabbed some food for himself and his friends. After eating a quick snack, Serilus turned to Melt and said "I'm exhausted after all that's happened today, so I'm going to head to bed... Yes, bed sounds nice. Good night Melt"
Serilus waved a hoof at Melt and (assuming he wants to come) headed back to his room with Akiiki. He set up a small bed on the couch for Akiiki to sleep on, before collapsing in his own bed and going to sleep.

((During the second age-regression day, Serilus would have just been a background pony at the Civic Center, nothing important. He'll now be on day 3, assuming you two don't want to do anything in that time. Tell me if you do.))

Gearstride found herself first snorting at in her opinion were just blitherings. T-that Mystic just didn't understand. With a glower and burrowed expression she harrumphed and turned away.
Then Mystic's last words began to click in her mind. Slowly her expression morphed into one of startled realization. W-was she being just as cowardly? She wasn't confronting the problem either. It takes two to deal with a problem one has with another. The filly frowned and bit her bottom lip, ears lowered, an antsy feeling in her tummy. She was contributing to making Heartflight feel bad and not apologizing for it but she wasn't ponying up to it like any other case where she needed to apologize to somepony. Too busy being selfish about wanting Heartflight to pony up the way she wanted her to. Now she just felt like horse apples, big steamy piles of horse apples.
......and withholding further actions until Grif feels better enough to post.

Sliverpine stared at Mystic incredulously, his mood clearly not any better. "Are you implying we're cowards? Last I checked, I do believe we're on the wrong end of things here." He shook his head as Mystic made her offer. "No, that does not prove anything. You're you and Heartflight is Heartflight. If Heartflight wants to apologise, we're right here. We're not even turning her away. She ran away."
(Clearly, Sliverpine is more stubborn about this than even Gearstride.)

Mystic sets the jars of syrup down. She then stops grumbling and just starts pleading. Gah. This is the silliest thing to hold a grudge over I've ever heard of. Why can't you guys just calm down and enjoy the karaoke instead of making this Rainy day even more depressing? I just wanted to have a fun day with my friends. *Sigh* I guess you can go back to the reception booth Dreams. Doesn't look like anypony here is going to be singing karaoke for a while. she says sadly, her voice going back to normal.

Sliverpine raised a hoof to object... before putting it back down again, a frown creasing his face. It was obvious he was giving this a lot of thought now. Finally, he sighed heavily. "You're right. It IS a silly thing to hold a grudge over." He glanced over at Heartflight, then at Gearstride, then back at Mystic. "Very well, if that's what it takes."
The orange colt reluctantly trotted over to where Heartflight and Sandy were having their heart-to-heart. He coughed slightly to get their attention. "For what's it's worth, I forgive you for that syrup incident. Twas' a silly thing to be fuming mad over anyway, and I apologise for it."

"All right. If we've settled it now, let's put this whole business behind us and do something fun!" Night Jewel flicked her tail excitedly. She had gotten sick of all this emotional stuff and wanted to get back to comedy. "Who wants to sing next?"

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 5
Heartflight looked at Sandy for a moment before sighing and nodding. Then Silverpine approached her and said his piece.
"Yeah ... sorry bout that," she mumbled. Then Night Jewel asked who wanted to sing next. "I'll sing!" she said, grateful for the distraction.

Any song you want to sing will conveniently be on the track list. It's the way this world works. Mystic says.

Gearstride wanly smiled seeing that her chance to make amends was glossed over under the false assumptions she too was settled on the matter. "Yea...Sandy, Heartflight, why don't you two sing a fun duet together.." She said nibbling on the inside of her cheek.
"Mmm, actually I'm going to go lay down in Silverpine's room, you lot have fun, ciao," The filly gave off a subdued smile and trotted off.

Fortunately for Serilus, the zebra baby is too sleepy to protest bed.He is easily handled and put to bed. "Ice creeeeeam."
Sometime in the middle of the night, Akiiki wakes up and crawls into somepony's bed.
((No problem. I think the forum ate my other reply
During the second age-regression day, Akiiki causes the minor mischief a toddler does. He did force somepony to read him bed time stories and sing him a lullaby before he sleeps.
Also he is not forced to say "Ice cream" anymore.))

Sandy breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Heartflight had, in a very little way, overcome some of her fear. Finally, this whole incident was done and over with. It had taken a bit of doing (and some unplanned help from Mystic, but Sandy didn't realize that) but everypony was finally getting along and having fun...

Sandy was mildly distracted at the moment, so it didn't quite register that Gear had wandered off. "Er, what Heartflight said. We'll sing a duet later...or something. You can go on an' sing yer song, Heartflight."

Sandy may not have noticed, but Sliverpine certainly did. He frowned as the xanadu filly trotted off. Not wanting to be impolite, he quickly mumbled a hasty excuse about having a slight tummy ache and slipped out of the room before anypony else could stop him. He silently followed the filly until they both reached his room, before opening his mouth.
"Something's wrong Gear? Not like you to miss all the fun."

"No, I'm fine Silverpine, just want to lay down like I said. Maybe nap, its been a long rainy day," She responded not turning around as she crawled into bed and snuggled under the covers. "And maybe try to form that apology I owe Heartflight."

Sliverpine arched an eyebrow at her words. He stood racking his head for a suitable answer for quite some time before letting out a heavy sigh. The orange colt slowly trotted over and nuzzled her gently on the face. "Do you want company for that?" he asked gently, sensing this was probably all new to her, Gear being one not being really good at handling apologies.

One could count on both of gryphon's claws the amount of times Gearstride has ever felt the need to apologize and pony up up to it. Alas it seems that most of those times spent apologizing were spent here in Bridle Shores in the past two and something weeks she'd been here.
"If you want to, though I don't want you missing out on the fun with our friends," The filly faintly smiled as he nuzzled her.

"Gear, you know I want to; especially when you're down like this." He gave the filly a reassuring smile and snuggled down beside her, under the covers of course. "I'm sure the others will have their fun, with or without us." The orange colt gave a lick on her cheek for extra credit. :smalltongue:
