"Blank Flanks!"
Two mares bolted awake on opposite sides of Ponyville- one in a small house and another in a luxurious mansion. The haunting laughter still ringing in their ears, they simultaneously groaned. Why did it have to happen tonight of all nights? Why were these two still remembering their torturous elementary school days? Both looked at their clocks, which read 4:30 AM. One mare cursed Princess Luna while the other groaned again- tomorrow was too big a day for ANY sleep to be lost. Yet here they were, wide awake after being forced to relive the worst days of their lives. Then the emotional pain returned to one, and the guilt returned to the other. While both mares wanted to cry, only the guilty one did. All she could do was hope she cried herself to sleep soon, because tomorrow was important to her for a number of reasons.
Tomorrow... she would start trying to fix the damage she had done when she was a filly. Back then, she thought bitterly, I really was a Celestia-forsaken monster.
