[Sweetie Belle's POV]

Twilight and Rarity sent a message asking us all to meet at the library.

Of course, I was anywhere but there.

"Avoiding the problem, Sweetie?" Discord looks mildly disapproving as he checks up on me.

"...maybe?" I answer sheepishly, pretending to busy myself with Fluttershy's animals while she was gone. "I just... don't want to break down like that again."

Feeling arms wrap around me so suddenly would normally make me panic, but I knew Discord well enough to trust him.

But that announcement...

It's nothing you should worry your little head about.

I stiffen in his grasp.

You know it's pointless. It's already going to happen again.

That voice...

And, like always, you're too scared to stop it.

"Discord," he can hear the shift in my voice, the pure terror.

"What do I need to do, Sweetie?" His eyes are boiling with rage. Good. I needed something to focus on besides...

Besides your true inner thoughts? About how you are such a coward you couldn't even tell them the key information they needed.

You didn't tell them about me.

I sucked in a breath.

That's what you got wrong.

Oh? How did I? Your panic attack said everything. Even looking at your sister terrifies you to the-

"Tell them."

I could feel the panic in Pinkamena with those words. The same words that turned Discord's rage into silent determination. He didn't even ask me if I was sure as he teleported away.

I might not be strong enough to do it myself.

But I'm not alone now, am I?

But I'm not alone now, am I?

Pinkamena.

That stupid doll.

Of course, of course it did something. It's not even a pony. It's just a stupid thing fueled by everyone's pain.

Sweetie's voice...

I shake off the thoughts as I appear in the library, scaring poor Fluttershy halfway out of her wits.

Another apology I'll need to make.

"Before you do anything, Sweetie asked me to come here."

Twilight eyed me as her magic slowly dissipated.
