That's it


Princess Celestia: Why so glum, my faithful student? Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?
Twilight Sparkle: That's just it. Just when I learned how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them.
Could you tell me what "That' it" in here mean? The expression has a wide range of meaning, and it makes the sentence hard to interpret. Thanks in advance.The line is quoted from http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xmzoaz_my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-episode-2-friendship-is-magic-part-2_shortfilms at 20:40 The transcription is available in http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Transcripts/Friendship_is_Magic,_part_2
