26th New Dream [Text]

[ponycure_dream]

I feel like I owe a lot of ponies an apology. Big time.

The past two months, I've let the idea of being a Princess drive me. The idea of helping everypony I meet got to me. I wanted to do good. I wanted to have my own place in the world and... I wanted it now.

Instead, all I got out of it was being a complete fool and a scar thinking that what I was doing was right. It wasn't right. At all. I'd make a horrible Princess the way I was acting.

So... I want to apologize for it. I know it isn't much, but... at the very least, I want you all to know that I messed up. While I still want to be a Princess, I'm just not going to actively go at it anymore. If... who or whatever wants me to be a Princess, they'll do so. Right now, I think I have friends who'd rather have Nozomi Yumehara around more.

Alicorns go crazy. It's what they do. Celestia and Luna haven't even lasted as long as some of the old ones yet, and Luna's already done it once. They'll go too.

And then the ponies will deal with them, or I will.

[ponycure_dream]

[Okay, now she's curious.]

...are you worried about me?

[discorderly]

Not really. But I don't especially want to take you out later when you decide to take over the world or some other such nonsense. It'd be a hassle~

And given that the Elements are out right now, that would PROBABLY happen.

[ponycure_dream]

You are worried!

[discorderly]

I am NOT! I'm so not worried, I will literally destroy you if you become a megalomaniac!

[ponycure_dream]

See? You are!

[She's going to tease you about it!]

[discorderly]

I will wipe you from existence!

[SHUT UP HE'S NOT WORRIED]

[ponycure_dream]

You wouldn't do that if you weren't...!

[NO]

[discorderly]

Do you OFTEN obliterate people you're worried about?

Aside from, oh. All the little ponies in a few centuries.

[Because how could she not find this interesting? You have only got yourself to blame, being the meddle mcmeddlefoot that you are.]

You are worried.

Why?

[discorderly]

I am not worried!

[controledfreak]

Your abject denial is adorable. I think I even hear a pout.

[discorderly]

YOU'RE the adorable one. Did you ever make up with your little friend?

[controledfreak]

[That was not the intended effect. Hm. She wondered why that seemed to work well on some and not at all on others. Retest?]

I do not see how he is little. Or my friend. Regardless, the answer to your question is that he provided me with suitable compensation for my grievance against him; I returned his hearing, for now.

[discorderly]

Oh good, you DID! I'm so glad~!

[controledfreak]

Why?

[discorderly]

It means you're making progress!

[controledfreak]

I am always making progress. When I am not making progress you should no longer be concerned, as I would be dead.

How is this new?

[discorderly]

We'll work on the figurative language later.
