Description

Star: Mom? You there? *peeks in Twilight's bedroom*

Twilight: Hi Star! *coughs*

Star: *steps inside* How're you feeling?

Twilight: I'm fine, sweetie. Thanks for asking *looks around Star's hooves* Where's Hlín? My little grandbaby?

Star: She's at school

Twilight: Oh, right. I forgot it was a weekday *giggles*

Star: *smiles*

Twilight: How's she doing? Getting healthier?

Star: *shrugs* She still has difficulty breathing when she exerts herself at all. It really worries me.

Twilight: Mmhm.

Star: She wants to be active and run around all the time but... it's terrifying to watch her struggle for air. I try to tell her to take it easy but–

Twilight: She won't

Star: *nods*

Twilight: *chuckles* The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Star: Hm?

Twilight: Remember when you were younger? How you'd always go work out?

Star: Of course

Twilight: Remember how you'd always pass out?

Star: Oh mom, that was different I–

Twilight: *clears throat* Doesn't seem different to me. Seeing your still body on the floor was a living nightmare every single time. It scared me to think that you wouldn't wake up.

Star: ............

Twilight: You were my baby. You are my baby *cups Star's cheek*

Star: ................................. I love you, mom.

Twilight: Wha?

Star: I love you, mom. I hope you know that even though I never say it.

Twilight: I love you too, Star

Star: *tears up* And...... I'm so sorry. For everything.

Twilight: You have nothing to be sorry for, sweetheart

Star: Yes I do. I was such a horrible daughter.

Twilight: You weren't so bad. If anything I was a horrible mother.

Star: No, no, you did your best. And I realize that now that I have my own daughter. Hlín and I are nothing alike. It's hard for us to relate to each other... kinda like you and me.

Twilight: .........

Star: It hurts that I'm not able to spend much time with her because.... I'm just not sure what to do with her. I like to do hikes and run around and be outdoors and she likes that too but... she can't do that or she could end up having one of those really scary asthma attacks. I just feel so awful and I feel like a failure as a parent. Hlín is so sweet and she still tries her best to be with me whenever she can. I know for a fact I was nothing like that and I can't imagine how that made you feel.

Twilight: Star...

Star: *starts to quietly cry* I'm so, so sorry mom..... I really didn't mean to hurt you. I was stupid and immature and–

Twilight: *hugs Starburst* It's okay, Star. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. You're a wonderful daughter. It may have been a bit difficult at sometimes but I'm so proud of who you are today. Understand?

Star: *nods*

Twilight: And you're a wonderful mother. Hlín loves you very much. I see how she looks at you. It's the same way you looked at your father as a child. In complete adoration.

Star: Thanks mom. I love you so much

Twilight: I love you too, Starburst. Thank you for this little talk

Star: *grins* I'm really glad I could make things right
