So, hey. I've got a question, now that th'world is back to what passes for "normal" 'round here.

What do you do if it turns out that you've been livin' a lie all your life? Not, like, in the Mayfield sense, but... what if you thought you were a hero and you turned out to only be hurtin' people, or...

[Flare goes quiet, and glances away.]

...or what if you believed you were cursed, only t'find out it was all in your head, and you were only holdin' yourself back? What do you do when you find that sorta thing out?

[Private to Zetta]

Hey. Overlord. I wanted to apologize for not believing you and assuming you were the one who let Grand Lord Suckface out of Tartarus. Seemed like the sort of thing you'd do in order to get his power for your own, or t'create a threat so that you had your own personal army at your beck and call.

I was wrong. In order to make it up to you... well, I ain't about to become your minion or suck up to you, but if you wanna take Rarity someplace fancy sometime, just lemme know and I'll work out all the bullcrap with getting you some spots. Your drinks are covered for the next month if you want to come down to the Decanter, too.

So... sorry.

So then... just keep on keepin' on? Even if it feels like bein' this way put me through a lot more pain than I deserve?

Uh...yes? Unless you're hiding a ridiculously awesome time machine and you can stop yourself from going the wrong way. That'd probably work.

You still had the good times, right? Meeting friends, helping out, kicking me out of the bar...

[Not that he ever actually succeeded in entering the bar. But he's trying to help here!]

Yeah, here. Short of th'Lunar Temple incident back home, though, I can't call any of what I did most of my life as livin'.

It worries me that I might have t'give it all up, one day.

Maybe you won't have to? But if you do...who says you've gotta do what anybody tells you, what you used to do?

[Flare chuckles.]

Funny story about that. Technically what I did right before I showed up here? I had to do because it was my punishment for breaking Celestia's ex-coltfriend.

[Granted, it wasn't quite that simple, but eh, details.]

Community service sort of thing.

I hear you. I've done a few rounds of that myself. Except it was more like punching current boyfriends.

Not that the girlfriend cared all that much, but a law's a law.
