“I’m not saying you can’t. You could prove me wrong and pull through, but I’m just going by what I know. If anything, that should give you more incentive to lose that weight so you can rub it in my face for doubting you when you do.”
“So you’ll just be here like some kind of reverse psychology cheerleader telling me I CAN’T do it? Is that how it works?” Starlight asked. Her tone had gone dark and she began to sniffle. “I don’t need that kind of discouragement if that’s the case. I already have that voice in my head telling me I’m a useless piece of trash every fucking day and I struggle to even get up and do the basics. It’s already going to be a struggle to exercise like I want to. So if I fail what are you going to do? Have a party and celebrate that Starlight still feels fat and ugly? Will you be happy then, Sunset? I’m not sure where you’re going with this. I’m lost. I know you had a hard time in the other world and I’m sorry. Twilight told me it wasn’t easy for you and I respect that but taking it out on me when I’m trying to get better myself isn’t going to make you feel better.”
“… Wow. Ok, look, I don’t know you that well, so I’m gonna be blunt. One: That is not what I said. At all. Never once did I say "you can’t do it”, so don’t put words in my mouth.“ Sunset said taking a step closer to her, glare now present on her face.
"Two: You ever mention my time in the mirror world again, my hoof is going down your throat, and then you’ll definitely lose the weight because you’ll be drinking through a straw. You have no goddamn idea what I went through in that world, so I’ve got way more reason to feel just as depressed as you do. I’d have rather dealt with a little weight issue then what I had to deal with! You have friends! You have a life, and job and a purpose! All my friends abandoned me and I barely have jack shit to my name anymore!” She said, her voice raising slightly as she got almost nose to nose with Starlight now.
“And three. Stop. Being. A sad sack bitch. You have no reason to even think like, but yet here you are. I know about the stuff you’ve done because Twilight told me. And believe me, when I first met you, I really wanted to put my hoof down your throat for doing what you did to her, but I didn’t because I thought I’d give you a chance, and I did. And I was proven wrong about you. You’ve got real skill, and while you’re still learning about this friendship shtick, I won’t deny that you can definitely do something when your mind is put to it.”
She then reached out to roughly jab a hoof on Starlight’s chest, saying, “If you have the motivation to wanna change history, then do yourself a favor and change your own. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, shut that stupid voice out, get up off your ass and go lose that weight, because I KNOW you can.”
