mphrh *teleports away*
to answer your question, MD, then since 3 of her four friends showed up, she should have been able to (easily) cut her losses and still have a good time.
If NO one showed up, then what happened from there would be justified in my eyes.
And again, I really wanted to see Moondancer's reaction to WHY Twilight didn't go to the party - this would have been a great scene of where Moondancer and Twilight could apologize to EACH OTHER instead of Twilight thinking she owes Moondancer anything.
ETA: ok, she wasn't bullied but she acts like after that party she was ignored.

The fandom has explored this and came up with one explanation that Moondancer put Twilight on a higher pedastal than her other friends. While she enjoyed the company of the others, it was Twilight who she sought validation from that she mattered and she was crushed when Twilight did not bother to show up. This hurt her so much that the other friendships became meaningless to her because the one she sought acceptance from most, did not bother to show up to the first party she ever gave. While not logical, this is certainly a reaction that can happen.
And I don't know...Moondancer should apologize to Twilight because she dared felt hurt by her not showing up because she was busy saving the world, thus making Moondancer apologize for being selfish? I just don't see that working with the characterization I've seen of her.

If Moondancer understood the ramifications of WHY Twilight didn't go to the party, she should apologize for holding that over both their heads instead of Twilight essentially pandering back to another friend over something that was out of all of their control. Moondancer held a grudge.

From a logical point of view, you make perfect sense.
But intelligent beings are rarely logical when their emotions are concerned and when basically their whole world gets shattered, it can turn them into a depressed state of mind.
And she was not ignored after that party. Minuette told Twilight how they tried to invite her to outings again and again, but Moondancer completely shut herself off until the others stopped.
Which I don't have a problem: If I tried time after time to reach out to a person who was a friend of mine only to get ignored and ignored everytime, I would probably call it quits too when it appears to be a lost cause.

Moondancer held a grudge. Meaning were she athletic, she'd be a perfect fit for the pro-wrestling industry.

I just don't think Twilight should be the only one apologizing here.

Again, this is something we will never see eye-to-eye probably. Just wanted to provide a counterpoint.
Discord taught Twilight well...

When you do nothing BUT study, that's what happens to the rest of the residence.

True.
Again, that's why Lemon Hearts was not one of the bridesmaids.
