A/N: Hello again. Here's another chapter for you guys.

I'm going through a lot at the moment. I've clearly been upset and there was a point where I just began to start crying at a friend's house. I just have that worst feeling yet that I might end up going through depression just like I did a few years back.

But other than that, I have ended up in the hospital after passing out at a music festival because of my thirst and for being out in the sun for at least too long. I am okay now, but the needles hurt the worst than me passing out and falling to my side which is funny because I remember being flat on my face wihle being lifted off the ground. (Funny thing is that I ended up taking a selfie with my head back on the grass, looking so comatose at my phone.) It was a shame I never got to see Loverboy's performance.

Still, I shouldn't be this upset as the next show I'll be going to is the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival.

But anyways, let's go onto the Review Responses.

Raven 105: I am still going, and still going proud.

I slowly began to open my eyes after hearing that buzzing drone blaring out from my alarm clock. I move my left arm and hand onto the top of the maple nightstand next to my comfortable and warm bed. Switching to my side, I make a side flip to take a look at that alarm while reaching for it and calmly slam my hand onto the top of it. The alarm shuts off and my sight clears up.

I let out a stretch under the covers of my bed to wake me up slowly by myself. Outside the window while I was stretching, I could see Celestia's sun rise up over the eastern horizon. A few birds shadowed by the sun's waking rays could be seen flying steadily through the orange colored sky, awaiting another new day to sing their pleasant tunes and whistles. This felt a bit like I was in a paradise, but I knew that I couldn't just stay here forever in bed as I need the exercise and Vitamin D outside given by the rays of the warm summer sun.

I move the bed sheets off of the top of my body and make my slip out of bed. My feet are placed onto the planks down off the bed and I get up standing on my two human legs. I made absolutely sure that I was making the bed for the first thing to do. I didn't want to put stress onto Fluttershy even though it seemed as she would fine with it and would do it for me which sounded sweet. Still, I guess I have that thing with keeping clean so nopony can get stressed out about me leaving a mess or not making my bed.

My feet tread over to the wardrobe on the side by the doors and I get changed out of my pyjamas and into a bright yellow shirt with lime green shorts. Today was supposed to be a very hot today so I have to really be careful out there and to drink lots of water/apply sunscreen. I'm pretty aware that Fluttershy is going to notify me the same thing which I am not bothered by.

I can hear the sound of her hooves trotting past my bedroom door and down the steps of her stairs. Probably on her usual day by day morning schedule to feed her animals and get breakfast ready for both her and me no matter how quick it is made or simple. I suppose it seems as now as good a time to get myself breakfast unless it was already made for me.

After taking some moments to stretch out my muscles for a new day, I head outside of my bedroom, making sure that I close the door behind me and make my way down the steps between the living room and the open arch into the kitchen where I could hear Fluttershy's hooves moving about in there.

I turn and enter into the kitchen where I could see that she was putting some small fruits into a wooden bowl as it was probably my breakfast being prepared for me. She finishes putting in a few strawberries that had been cut and use them from the top of the small bowl of healthy fruits and crunchy nuts.

She takes the side top of the bowl with her mouth and turns to take it towards the table. But when she looked and saw me coming in, I swear that I could see a smile illuminate onto my mouth while carrying the bowl over.

She trots over to the kitchen table by the window and places the bowl on top of the surface. "Good morning Brayden," She greeted me with that same soft and happy tone I knew her by. "Did you sleep well?"

"That I did," I said to her with a warm smile upon my face. "The last few days have been really warm and happy, but it's best good while it's lasting because the autumn is almost here around the corner."

"Oh yes," Fluttershy says to me while she takes a seat by the window where she would usually sit next to me. She continues to talk to me when I take a seat at the table, joining with her. "When the autumn comes, you'll be prepared right? The temperature is going to get a little colder than it should so I supposed that Rarity will figure something out about that for you."

"I am thankful for her being a great friend to me," I said, with her now coming into mind. "She's made me some of the best casual wear since I came here. I guess it is a bit of the season for jeans or pants. It looks like I'll have to make an order for that." Noted, I'll remind myself that when the time comes.

I take a small strawberry from the wooden bowl to chew on while Fluttershy speaks. "So far, the summer in Equestria has been a rather fantastic one, I mean there are only a few more events that come up depending on how far the location is in Equestria. The other closest here is in Canterlot called the Grand Galloping Gala."

"The Gala?" I said, after swallowing down the piece of strawberry and I sounded surprised. There was another coming up soon? I mean, I didn't have a ticket to attend it but I'm sure if Princess Celestia knows about Twilight and the rest of her friends, she'll have an extra ticket in mind for me so I be alongside my special somepony and the rest of my friends. "I would love to attend that, but I would need one of those golden tickets in order to gain admittance."

I can feel Fluttershy's right front hoof get placed onto my left hand. "Don't worry Brayden, I'm sure Celestia isn't going to forget all about you," She tells me whilst her warm hoof is gently rubbing my hand. "She after all did approve of your quick visit to the castle, not only that but helping us out so the chance is most likely. I already have a friend named Tree Hugger coming with me since I got at least two tickets."

I perked up when she got the tickets, rather early it seems. "How'd you get it super early?" I ask.

"Well, that's Princess Celestia's secret," She says to me. "Talk with her a little more and you'll know about that secret."

"I see." I state with a smile upon my face.

I grab a few strawberries and blueberries to chew softly on, with the occasional crunching of nuts to accompany them sometimes while digging in the bowl of small fruits and vegetables. Yes, there was salad leaves at the bottom that I could take to munch on, once I had finished up with the other stuff I have already stated about.

The rest of breakfast had been silent, with Fluttershy having to get out of her seat at least once as I could recall. Angel was stomping away on that bunny foot and I could tell that he was hungry for some breakfast to eat. The usual happens, he'll refuse that juicy orange carrot or he'll accept it and eat away depending on what mood he is in. If he was refusing, the carrot would sometimes propel itself right to my head and hit me there with a soft thud. Then she would scold him as usual for throwing food at others and how rude it is.

Fluttershy would come back to the table after dealing with Angel and his picky eating habit to which in the end, he does end up eating the carrot that she kept offering him since he was hungry. The rest of her animal friends had also been fed as well with acorns for the squirrels, birdseed for the various different birds that were outside and in the house like the robin or bluebird. Even the bear had already woken up to the smell of honey that she gave him.

She came back to finish the rest of her well-earned breakfast after I had pretty took a bite out of the last salad leaf that had been placed inside of my bowl. As usual, it was another one of the best breakfasts that I might have possibly ever eaten. I don't know how Fluttershy does it. Still, I'm rather impressed by how well she prepares it every morning no matter what kind of product is served on my plate or bowl of any kind.

"Did you enjoy your breakfast Brayden?" She asked me, her head turned to me while she was finishing up on her breakfast.

"It's one of the best breakfasts I might have had in a lifetime," I said to her. I get up off of the chair, and use my left hand to take the bowl with me when I am going to the kitchen counter to get it washed. "I don't know how you do it. So I suppose that it is your secret."

She stimulates a cute giggle and says "Of course Brayden, we all have a secret sometimes that won't tend to share."

I place my bowl into the sink and turn on the two taps to mix in some warm water. The water is rushing into the wooden bowl while I take a hold of the soap with my right hand, spraying the fluid into the bowl. Bubbles begin to form inside while the water is overflowing the bowl and dropping into the sink. With my left hand, I grip onto the dish cloth and put the dish soap with my other hand down beside the sink. Using the cloth, I wash around the gritty bits left behind on the inside of the bowl.

The bits start to get going gone out of the bowl and into the sink when it is sent down the swirling drain. My bowl does clean out and I turn off the tap, dumping the rest of the water that was inside the bowl into the sink where it is sent down the drain.

I move the bowl out of the sink and place it onto the drying rack, where the dry towel is perched next to the rack. I grab onto the small towel, beginning to wipe and dry out the loose bits of water drops that the sink's tap had left behind. Gently rubbing carefully and slowly, I could see the drops begin to become absorbed into the towel with each soft rub.

This doesn't last long though and it didn't take too long to dry out. After taking the towel off the dry-looking bowl, I place my hand around the inside and outside of the bowl to make sure there nothing got missed while I was drying it. No wet spots could be found, so I open up the bowl pantry above my head and place it inside, closing it.

I can hear Fluttershy's hooves trotting towards the counter behind me. I turn around to see her coming forward with her bowl in her mouth and placing it into the sink. She doesn't turn on the tap just yet, but rather turns her head to look at me.

"Um, Brayden?" I heard her ask, in a quiet voice.

I move closer towards her. Besides her animals just faintly chattering away in the other room, there was silence between the both of us. I can see her faint smile crossed upon her mouth while her cyan eyes gaze at my eyes.

"What is it Fluttershy?" I say to her in response from after those moments of silence passed between us both.

"I- I was just wondering," She began to tell me something trying to work up some confidence in that quiet almost hushed tone. "Um, if you're not busy today with anypony else… I was wondering if you want to join and accompany me today." She moves the both of her hooves together.

"Well, it does depend on what is happening today and if there's nothing really going on in Ponyville," I said to her. I bent down a little on one knee and took her left hoof in my right hand. "But other than that, what is on your mind?"

Fluttershy smiles more and she allows me to start holding her hoof. "Well, I was thinking… I and Rarity are supposed to be heading to the spa today for a talk and such on what has been happening when we're not with friends. After that we'll be going to be back to the Carousel Boutique for lunch," She is explaining to me. "And I was wondering, um, would you like to go with me?"

I began to think for a moment. Nothing else was really on my mind, and usually I would be going about town waiting for somepony to start talking to me whether it was my best friend whom I was speaking with right about now, Twilight, or anypony else in town who was already practically a friend though I still need to talk with them a little more. That's when Lyra comes to mind, she always seems to tackle-hug me to the ground every time me and her look each other eye to eye. It's not in a romantic way, as I view Lyra as just a friend and even then she views me that way as well: just friends.

I let out a smile upon my face and say to her "Well not much is on my mind as of today. So why not?" I can see her face become rather joyed when I had accepted her offer. "I would be honored to come along with you."

"Oh," I could hear Fluttershy tell me. She moves her hoof that I took in my hand and she uses it to brush back a bit of her mane that covered a part of her right eye. "It's going to be great."

I nod my head and am about to get up onto my two feet again. "We did just finish breakfast, so should we get going?" I said to her.

She takes my hand again with her soft hoof. "Don't worry Brayden, we don't have to go just yet," She says to me. "We still have at least a couple of minutes before we can go."

"So you just want to talk with me about how I have been?" I asked her. I mean I did tell her a bit of what had been happening in my new life in Ponyville, so there is not much to think about regarding that topic anyway.

"Oh, we can talk about anything," She says to me. I am still holding onto her hoof while the both of us head out of the kitchen and into the living room. The small critters that I saw last eating their food in here have all quieted down now and a few I could see have gone outdoors to enjoy the beautiful day outside. I could see a few white clouds rolling in outside, but it doesn't disturb how beautiful the weather is today.

"You might want to enjoy the sun while you can for the morning," She comments. "The weather team said that it looks like there will be a thunderstorm later on in the late-afternoon with showers of rain."

"What a shame…" I said with a bit of fake disappointment. "Today looked like it would be sunny at least all-day, well minus a few clouds that roll by in the blue skies. With lightning being listed there, it's definitely a thing that I ain't going to leave until it's good and gone."

Fluttershy took me over to the couch, still holding my hand. She lets go for that moment and gets up onto the couch with one hoof and her back legs to push her up onto the couch. I can see that she wants to sit with her and converse away at whatever topic should come up. Well I don't see why not. I turn myself around, leaning backwards to take a seat next to her on the couch. I make myself comfortable and turn my head to continue communicating with her.

"Don't really have much to say on anything Brayden?" She asked me, and I can feel her hoof touch and hold my hand again. "I'm always wondering why you've always been so troubled sometimes."

"Uhh yeah," I said, scratching my head with my other hand. "There's not much to talk about it, and I just want to put it all behind me and let it go."

She could tell that I deep down was trying not to spill out my Earth life to her and the trouble that was caused for me and what trouble I have been through while there. I gulp a bit in silence, and nervous she would want to try and figure out a little more. No matter though, I will keep resisting from telling them to her, even if she told me it's bad to not tell her.

She moves a little closer to me. I do not feel uncomfortable when she does this, as I trust her a lot and know she won't do anything bad to try and hurt me for she was gentle and could never get angry at me. Well, that's what she told me, but she still looks rather calm and understanding.

"I know it's very hard for you when somepony tells you this subject. You do not need to be afraid to tell me or any of your friends," She tells me, gently rubbing my open hand that is feeling of being serene and smooth with her soft hoof. "It'll be very bad for you if you don't tell us. It could probably change you as long as you don't talk about it, and that is what worries me the most."

"I know, Fluttershy." I said to her. "But it's something I don't want to talk about."

Her curious face now grew to look more concerned about me. Her smile had faded and was placed into a frown. "Please Brayden, tell me," She says. "We all worry about you sometimes, I mean, remember when you were attacked by timberwolves? I thought you were going to die."

"Isn't that a different story?" I commented. "And both you and Twilight saved me that day."

"I know and I am thankful for you and her coming on time, as I don't feel like I had quite the experience of fighting back," I said to her. My other hand moves and is placed onto the right side of her cheek which seems left from my point of view when facing her. "But what does that have to do with what happened with me back on Earth?"

Her cheeks lit up with pink once my hand gently touched her cheek. Her eyes stray towards my hand for a few moments and then back at me, gazing at my brown eyes. "Umm," She says while her blush was remaining on her cheeks. "Never mind, it's more like you were here when it happened." The blushing fades and she just continues to smile.

"I have been through a lot on Earth, so maybe one day I will share them with you, so never say never to that idea." I said to her.

Silence made its swift move and came in-between me and Fluttershy yet again. My hand still remains on her cheek with my other hand holding her hoof gently. A few moments pass, I gently slip my left hand away from her soft cheek and place it right back onto my lap. My right hand is still holding onto her hoof and I don't think about letting go just yet.

I could see that sweet spark in her eyes that brought in the sign of trust between me and her, but not a romantic kind of trust just so you know. As much as I am being gentle and touching her cheek, it's more to be taken like a friendly gesture. Besides, I don't even know what she is probably thinking in her mind. By the way her cheeks were lit up there every time I do that, she probably considers it very comfortable and that I'm not frightening her in any way. She does trust me after all.

"What about life with the rest of your friends Brayden?" She asked me.

"Well besides you and me going to meet up with Rarity at the spa, I feel like life is doing just fine involving me with my friends." I said to her.

She lets go of my hand, placing her warm and gentle hoof back onto the couch. "What about Twilight?" She asks again.

"I'm pretty sure you've asked me that many times." I commented.

"Oh," She says with her ears flopping downward and looking down and away from my eyes. "In that case then, I won't ask you about that again if that's okay-"

"Fluttershy…" I acknowledge her name and scoot closer towards her. I place my right hand on her soft cheek and gently move it upward to have her look at me. Her eyes don't look at me immediately, for they were still on the couch's soft leather we sat upon.

"If I said something to make you sad, I want to apologize and say that if I did say something, I didn't mean to offend you in any way." I said. I kind of felt bad for making Fluttershy feel sad.

She moves a hoof and takes my hand which was touching her soft cheek. She gently holds onto it, but her ears starting to perk up again. "Brayden," She says to me. "You didn't say anything that made me sad. I just got only a small bit disappointed that it was not really an answer that I did expect. But do not worry; I understand that I asked you that many times and that you don't want to talk about what happened back on Earth."

I watch and keep my eyes on her while the both of her wings unfold. I can feel them come forward towards me and around my body. While this is happening, I open my mouth to speak. "Well, I could talk about it with you, but probably if I am ever 'really' that upset." Her wings stop around me, and I can sense it was a wing-hug, so I'm guessing it was telling me that she wanted a hug. I move my arms around her body and moved close to her, my head passing and touching the side of her head.

I was sharing the hug with her and gently nuzzling her cheek with my own cheek. The both of us felt calm and I can sense peace between the both of us. After all, she has always not been one for fights and all that stuff. I can hear her nostrils quietly breathing in and out. Nothing outside could be bothering the both of us during this special moment between me and my best friend. Each nuzzle that we did with our cheeks were on friendly and relaxed terms, so I was completely fine with it.

Her wings gave off a special kind of warmth that reminded me of good times that I had back in the days I have been on Earth and here in Equestria today up to this moment. Without the bad moments coming by to distract me and remind me of tragic times, I could remember a few happy moments like the birthdays I had been through on Earth and Equestria, though I only had one birthday in Equestria, but it should be up in the next summer. Even then it should be really good just like last time when I had my party at the Sugarcube Corner with my friends.

I felt like I was truly home with new friends as to whom I would also consider my family. They cared for me, and I would ways feel like I would always be by their side no matter what bad I accidentally do. They would know that I don't mean that bad. Whether I get angry which isn't the case but hypothetically, they know how to calm me down. It felt good for my own well-being.

The both of us still held each other close for a few other moments and then I can feel her pale yellow wings slip away from behind my back. They were retracting back to close up as they were a part of her. My hands move back to release Fluttershy, and my head as well. My eyes are set back on her and we both feel comfortable. Her wings retracted and close; and my hands are moved from around her body, now gently holding onto the both of her hooves.

All continued to be silent in this moment, but not all peaceful silence can last forever as there was that recognizable sound of a certain bunny's foot tapping loud and hard onto the ground to catch the both of our attention. I let go of Fluttershy's hooves and both of us turn to see that bunny tapping his foot. Who else but Angel?

"What is it Angel?" Fluttershy says to her, wondering what her bunny rabbit needs or rather wants to tell her.

Angel zooms right out over to the corner and rushes back with a little stopwatch that he is pointing at. It seems like he is trying to tell the both of us something. I think he's trying to tell us that our meeting with Rarity will be REALLY soon and that we head out immediately if we want to meet up with her.

I turn my head towards Fluttershy. "I think he is telling us that it'll be really soon that Rarity will be heading out to the spa."

"Oh my goodness," She said. She gets up on all four hooves and gets up and off of the couch, trotting towards the door. "We don't want to be late then. We best get going while we still can."

I nod in understanding, getting up and standing onto my two feet once again. I head towards the front door where Fluttershy was standing. She had gone outside and was waiting for me out there. A few steps taken, I'm already in the great outdoors once again just like every other day. I make sure to close the front door behind me, knowing Angel will watch over the place. Then I turn to join up with her and the both of us began our walk together into town.

My walk into town with Fluttershy was mostly quiet, but we did make a bit of small talk on how peaceful the day was looking at the moment because of the thunderstorm later on. We pass along the buildings and greet everypony that pass along by. Even a very excited Lyra who had happened to pounce on me and knock me to the ground, had greeted me with the traditional touching of my hands.

After that surprising greeting with Lyra, the both of us continue our stroll into town until we had made it into another part of Ponyville where the spa was located. So yes, I was noted to myself that I still had not come here to meet the two of the spa ponies: Aloe and Lotus Blossom. They both seem to get along with one another from what I have seen before.

Fluttershy trots forward ahead of me. She approaches the entrance to the spa, gripping onto the doorknob with her right front hoof. With the faint click I heard from where I stood rather close by, I watch as she pushes open the door to allow entry into the place. The both of my feet walk towards the open door, and I take a look at her while she stands there slightly inside to which she holds the door for me.

"Thank you Fluttershy." I said to her while letting myself move under the door's open arch and into the spa which didn't seem too busy at all. There were only a few ponies sitting down and reading a magazine that was provided in the spa on that little table.

I could hear her say "You are most certainly welcome Brayden." I can hear her hooves trot for a moment with the door closing shut and then coming forward to join next to me once again. The desk is close by the nearby single chairs that anypony could relax in while waiting for their spa appointment.

Aloe was sitting there at the desk and she puts on a joyful smile when she saw me and Fluttershy coming into the spa. First thing she did was sit straight up as she was still waiting for the appointments to become active within that moment. Some were immediately as long as it wasn't too busy, but if it was booked, then it would most likely work in the same way.

"Hello Fluttershy," She says to her in a friendly exchange and with a pleasant and easygoing tone. "Are you here for another appointment with Rarity?"

"Oh, yes," My best friend says to Aloe. "But I'm not the only one who is meeting up with Rarity for another relaxing session. I brought along one of my best friends. Here is a bit taller than us and different, but he is as sweet as a stallion," She uses a hoof to push back her mane. "This is my good friend Brayden."

I take at least two steps towards the desk and I extend my right arm out with my hand open for a hoofshake. "Greetings." I open up to her.

"Wait a minute I recognize you," She says to me. She moves her hoof towards my hand after at least a few seconds has passed. I take her hoof and wrap my finger around it, giving it a friendly, firm shake. "I think I saw you once with Fluttershy on your way through town at point, but my name is Aloe and it is nice to meet you. Forgive me if I didn't say hello at first, I guess it's the fact that when Fluttershy introduced me to you, I was thinking it was another stallion or friend of hers."

"Don't worry," I assured her with a smile upon my face. "We all get that sometimes. It is nice to meet you too Aloe."

I let go of her hoof and she sets it back down while taking a look at both me and Fluttershy. Then she ends up slipping a question out of the ordinary. "So the both of you are meeting up with Rarity? Are you super sure that you two aren't going in… together?"

I turn my head to Fluttershy for a few quick moments before turning back. The both of us began to blush because of not only a bit of embarrassment, but for a fact that Aloe was mistaking both me and Fluttershy for being special someponies. But deep down, I know that Twilight is already with me, so that is absolutely out of the question.

"Um, not exactly," I said, scratching the back of my head with my cheek still lit up in a bit of red. "I just consider her to be one of my best friends. Princess Twilight is my special somepony in case you don't really know."

"She is?" She says. "My apologies, but I am rather surprised."

I let out a light chuckle. "You don't have to apologize, I'm not offended." I said to her after she had made her confused apology. "It's a bit of a story on how I and Twilight got together. I was really scared to confess my feelings to her as I couldn't keep it in forever."

"I know that must have been hard to do, but stallions can't just let me off their mind when I'm not working at the spa," She says to me, sounding a bit annoyed when she was finishing what she said before speaking a little more. "Stallions keep asking me out every once in a while when me and Lotus are out shopping in the marketplace for groceries. I don't really need them randomly coming up to me and asking me to be their special somepony. I'd rather pick somepony who best has something in common with me."

"That is true, but sometimes isn't," I confess to her. "Sometimes it's based on personality wise and if that personality is best suited for you."

"I see," Aloe says to me. "Well, I don't know what things you are into, but at the moment for me it's the spa with my sister and working here."

"I'm into music stuff like the guitar, but mostly various different things here in Equestria," I continue on with the topic. "Twilight is interested in books and being who she is, and I actually read books every once in a while, so that is one of those things I have in common with her, even with scientific stuff. Though I will admit, I've not gone into her laboratory yet."

"She's come into the spa a few times, but since she is now of royalty she has a few extra privileges." She responds to me with a smile.

I could hear the bell ringing behind me from above the spa's door. I turn myself around with Fluttershy following suit to see both our good friend Rarity coming into the spa. She looked rather relaxed and came just as herself, because some of the times I have not documented she would be trying on dresses, but this is most likely at the Carousel Boutique.

"Ah, good afternoon to you Fluttershy," Rarity said when she trotted towards the both of us with an easy smile. "And hello to you too Brayden. Have you decided to come along with Fluttershy to join in our spa appointment?"

I nod my head as in a yes. Fluttershy says "He'll be joining us for the afternoon; we'll be here and head out for lunch anywhere in Ponyville, or at my cottage or the Carousel Boutique."

"Well, Sweetie Belle isn't going to be home until later," Rarity responds to her. "So I would say that a good lunch at the Boutique will do. I'll make sure that the biscuits and tea are ready."

"Rarity!" Another female voice could be heard with the sound of hooves coming from behind the desk. I turn my head slightly to the right. "It's good to see you coming in for another appointment with Fluttershy." She turns her head and stops speaking for a few moments when she saw me.

It was Lotus herself and Aloe's sister. She pauses with a blank look on her face when her eyes were set upon me. I guess it's probably the first time for her to ever be this close up to a human before. All I can really do is just raise my hand and wave lightly with a simple "Hello" coming out of my mouth.

She puts on a smile and trots a few steps forward towards me. She moves one of her hooves off of the ground and extends it out for a hoofshake. "I think I saw you at one point during one of my strolls through town. You must be the human that I've seen with that magical claymore."

"Yeah, it's your best description on me," I said to her, extending my right hand out to take her hoof. The both of us shake for those few moments while I continue to speak. "My name is Brayden. It is good to meet you…"

"Lotus," She replies to finish my sentence. While she finishes talking to me, she lets go of my hand she was shaking with her hoof and puts it back onto the floor. "It is nice to meet you too Brayden. I am guessing that you are here for an appointment to the spa for the first time."

"Lotus?" I could hear Rarity acknowledge her from behind. Lotus turns around to face Rarity who had been trotting up behind her. "To be really honest, Brayden is actually along to join with us. He's not really for a separate session at the moment."

Lotus nods her head and then turns to what seems to be looking at me at first, but she is looking past me to her sister Aloe. "Aloe, do we have some room for the newest customer Brayden here to fit for Fluttershy and Rarity's session?"

"Yes Lotus, there is." Aloe says from behind me.

Lotus moves her eyes back towards my own brown eyes. "Alright you three, feel free to come on in." She invites us, which told us inside to follow her.

I walk alongside both Fluttershy and Rarity when Lotus was pushing open the double doors into the spa's main room. Under the archway I went through and I could see that it was that exact same room that I saw whenever I was watching an episode involving this place like "Green Isn't Your Color" or a bit of "Bridle Gossip".

I could see that large wooden tub filled water that seemed to be rather warm when I stepped forward and put my hand over it. I can hear everypony else who was with me trot behind over to a few of the massaging tables. Ambient new age music is softly playing in the background of this room and with the flute and very deep but rather soft sounding synth; it felt very relaxing for my soul deep inside of me.

I turn around and focus my attention on both of my friends getting onto the massaging tables and lying forward to get their backs massaged. But to the left of my eyes, I could see Aloe coming forward towards me with a smile to greet me.

"Brayden?" She says to me with question. I turn my head and eyes to focus onto her. "I'll be helping you out. Would you come with me to a massage table?"

I nod my head and follow behind her to one of the massaging tables that lie next to my good friend Rarity's. I place the both of my hands onto the table and lift the both of my legs up onto the spot. I move my body forward, gently pressing my chest against the soft and plushy surface of the table, placing my head down forward into round open bowl that almost resembled a bedside pillow, but wasn't.

I was still able to breathe easy as there was nothing at the bottom to block the airway circulation. All I could pretty much do from here was to become relaxed and join in conversation with my friends. I can hear a bit of a click, fart-like sound and then snap again. I want to turn and look what is happening beside me, but I cannot as the relaxation has just kicked in.

"Now, just let the stress off of you Brayden and be at peace." I could hear Aloe say by my side. Then comes the both of her hooves gently pressing onto my back to which I made sure to have uncovered before placing my head onto the head-bowl. I can feel some cream being rubbed on my back which I now figure that the sounds were a few seconds ago.

I let out a very soft moan. This felt really good for my back and really well done as I haven't even had a massage before once in my life, but no doubt that this is my first. "Feels good, doesn't it Brayden?" I could hear Rarity say to me beside me, lying forward and talking to me.

I try to turn my eyes to look at Rarity, but from where I was, it is impossible at the face bowl is blocking my view. Nevertheless, I just answer her question. "It's the first time that I've ever gotten a massage in my own lifetime."

"I remember the first time I ever had a massage," I could hear Fluttershy talking from past Rarity and her massaging table. "It was here with Rarity at one point, and after being in the giant tub of warm water for some point, I decided to try the massage experience. Lotus was right there alongside me, just gently pressing down and rubbing my back, not even too hard."

I continued to feel Aloe's hooves gently rub my back with the both of her hooves just going back and forth… back and forth. "I never did get that experience before," I claimed to the both of them. "Where I came from; there were spas. I never did think of going inside of them though to book an appointment and enjoy this experience I am going through right now."

"Getting to enjoy something new is quite the adventure dear," Rarity says to me. When she says 'dear' she means it in a friendly way, not in that romantic kind of way. "The experience is also part of fun. Already know that you want to go to various places in Equestria you haven't been to yet."

"Oh yes," I said to her in response to her. "I know I've been to Manehattan, The Crystal Empire for a very short time and Canterlot. There is more out there I wish I could go to. I'm not even sure that I am able to go to Cloudsdale. I don't exactly have the wings on me to land on the surface of the clouds. Even with the Song of Order, it's only for a temporary time before the magic fades."

"You could always stay in the hot air balloon." Fluttershy says to me.

I let out a bit of a sigh. "I'd miss out on the fun though." I stated.

"Don't fret Brayden," I could hear Rarity saying to me in an assured tone to her voice. "I'm sure that one day you will get a hold of some good wings to have permanently so you can fly and head into Cloudsdale."

Fluttershy comments "I grew up in Cloudsdale."

"Well until I get wings which seem less likely to happen, I can't really go up there." I said to the both of them, still facing the ground and without them in my eyesight as of yet.

From there, Aloe's two front hooves make their way from my back and are moving on up towards my neck. This felt more rather relaxed and it gets some pressure off the top of my back and my neck as well. I could feel a part of my bones from behind me when she laid hooves upon it, but it was more gentle and not even that hard to begin with so I wouldn't react harshly to it.

"Does that feel good?" Aloe says to me in a calm, hushed tone.

I want to nod my head, but I cannot. "Yes, I especially would like that on the shoulders as well." I said to her, feeling relieved and all of the stress I had for years just disappearing from my mind to the happiest thoughts I could think of. It was like being in the peaceful forests of green with a small river flowing peacefully in front of me while I was lying down on the grass.

For some time, she is rubbing my neck and top back. She does eventually move to my shoulders to begin massaging them there. I let out a very soft and quiet moan while she was doing this and this felt like I was in complete peace within myself accompanied with the chatter between Fluttershy and Rarity that I was listening to while she continues with this.

"Anyway, I heard that Nightmare Moon is going to accompany the princesses at the Grand Galloping Gala this year," I could hear Rarity say to Fluttershy. The mention of Nightmare Moon caught my attention already while she was talking to her about the upcoming Gala and her plans to bring her sister Sweetie Belle there with her two other friends Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. "Poor her seems like she'll be alone for this year, she only got at least a free privilege by Celestia's word. Nopony I heard doesn't want to come with her though."

"I don't have my golden ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala yet, but I'm sure Princess Celestia isn't going to forget about inviting me along to join the fun in Canterlot," I said to the both of them. "She never would leave a single subject behind, no matter how different they are."

"Speaking of Nightmare Moon, it is the first time I've heard something that mentions her being involved with it." Fluttershy comments with the topic about Nightmare herself. This is the first time for me as well, as the last time I remember ever being able to talk with her was at Twilight's new castle after Tirek's defeat by the power of friendship all thanks to my friends. Well, I did play a part in it as well to assist in the fight. Oh well, best to put that behind me now that Tirek is now back in Tartarus where he damn well belongs.

"I think there are few ponies out there that are still angry at her for what she did as part of Equestria's history and it will be a long time until the wounds are mended and they accept her friendship," Rarity says, sounding very concerned. "She's changed though, though she still maintains the same appearance, but without her armor she's become rather nice."

I turn my eyes slightly to the right as if my friends were beside me. "If anypony is trying to plan on performing something to bring harm to Nightmare Moon, I forbid it," I said to them. "I redeemed her for various reasons. One of them being that just like protecting everypony else from harm; I want to protect her from harm. Since she is an alicorn, she no doubt is a part of royalty though it hasn't been quite confirmed as of yet on what her title is. She doesn't have one yet."

"So you're going to help her find it?" Fluttershy asks.

"Not exactly all the way," I stated. "But at least give her enough courage to get outside of the castle without frightening others that think she's a curse to Equestria and always will be. I don't even know if any other creature that lives in Equestria is even aware as of yet that I or her are here like for example, the griffons."

"The griffons?" Fluttershy asked me before continuing. "I heard their city of Griffonstone at the edge of Equestria is supposed to be one of the most beautiful places in tourism. But be careful, they are rather mean and greedy for bits. If you don't have any, they just shun at you for being poor. Something to do with a legend of an idol the city once had."

"I recall a certain griffon once living here in Ponyville," I can hear Rarity comment. I know what griffon that they are talking about though and even then I'm still convinced not to force my fist onto her beak. "Gilda was a rather mean one though, but Pinkie revealed her true self once she caused mishaps at a party meant for her."

"She made me cry at one point." Fluttershy quietly says with a sad tone. I remembered seeing that for the first time and when Fluttershy ran off crying, I was pretty enraged from the inside. A few of my other friends who watched with me back on Earth reacted quite more harshly to it. That's just who they were though.

"Griffonstone is pulling through some rough times, but I'm sure that their economy will fix itself." Rarity says.

There was only a bit of small talk to exchange afterwards, and then silence so we can relax in peace. This is a spa after all. Aloe takes her two front hooves off of my shoulders and I can tell that the mare was already done massaging my back. I move my head out of the bowl that I put my head in. Then I use the both of my hands to push myself upward to sit on the massaging table.

Holy cow! My back, shoulders and neck felt better than ever. It didn't even hurt when I move each of these parts about for a bit of a test to see if they were a bit better than before I got this massage. I just wonder now by what else this spa has to offer to me. I get up off of the table and give myself a quick stretch of the arms to wake them up after a good massage. I turn my head towards Aloe and I am about to request on what else there was on mind for the spa.

The double doors that lead right into the spa's room burst open with a bit of a slam and it caught the attention of all of us in the room. I turn my head away from Aloe and towards the open door. Fluttershy and Rarity's heads come out of their massaging table's head bowls to take a look at who was coming in. I knew that I had recognized who that dragon assistant himself was. Who else but Spike himself, and he looked like he was in a hurry to tell me something.

"Brayden!" He calls out to me. He stops close by me, panting for breath after he was done running on his two dragon feet.

"Spike?" I said in rather still shock that it was him coming in. "What are you doing here? You know that it's not raining and thundering quite yet."

"Well it will soon-" Spike says, panting more for breaths. "But it's just more terrible and I had to tell you immediately before she came here first. I'm just so lucky to have gotten here."

"She?" I asked with a curious tone in my voice. Then there is a smile right on my lips. "It's Twilight right? Oh she wanted to surprise me didn't she?"

"No!" Spike says, sounding very alarmed. "She's coming here, but there will be a storm coming right up if she lays eyes on you. She's really furious!"

I take a look over at the open window with the sun's rays shining through. I walk over towards the windows and I take a look outside. The sun was still out, but the storm was coming right up close by and it would start raining and lightning would be sounding off soon enough. But then ahead, I can see a recognizable mulberry colored special somepony of mine coming towards the spa. Twilight herself, but the only thing different was her face. She looked real pissed off, and that's when the shock settled in and realization hit me.

She found out about it… OH SHIT.

"Bwah!" I shout in complete shock to this and move away from the window in case she saw me there, but again probably didn't as of yet. I turn back towards Spike. "Oh what do I do?! She's coming!"

"I don't know!" He says to me, pretty clueless on what to do. "But we have to leave now so she doesn't know that you're here!"

"Lead the way little dragon!" I said to him. He begins moving forward as quickly as he can but in a rather sneaky way. I follow behind him, trying careful to be quiet. I turn to the girls and whisper "I'm in deep trouble now."

"Trouble?" Rarity says to herself with Fluttershy listening. "What happened between him and Twilight?"

I sneak out into the waiting room where I had been before when I had been introduced to both Aloe and Lotus Blossom, the spa sisters. Aloe did look a little concerned for me before I was being led out quietly by her own assistant.

"You knew about it?" I asked, keeping my voice down should Twilight come storming into the waiting room.

"No, I just found out about it," Spike says in the same volume I was in. "Somehow I suspected that entire Coco Pommel thing was going to happen. I only arrived as fast as I could to get you out of there."

There is the sound of muffled hooves by the spa's front door and both I and Spike go incognito behind the door where it flips open. The both of us have our backs against the wall and we keep an eye out when the door finally opened up. Twilight comes inside of the waiting room, still looking as angered as ever. Spike edges me and gives me a good chance to slip out while she isn't looking.

I took that chance and slip behind and past the spa front door into the outdoors. I make sure to close the door behind me, but rather quietly when I saw Twilight angrily trot into the spa's room. Then I began to make my way out and around to head to another building where she could not possibly find me. My breathing was intensified and I could feel my heartbeat racing in panic at this debate. Would she calm down about this if she doesn't see me today? Maybe she'll forget about it like she usually does.

"Not… so… fast!" I could hear her voice say to me from behind with a hint of disappointment and anger in her tone of voice that wasn't too loud. Well, again maybe not after all on her forgetting about this after all. I'm not even going to question how she got out here so fast and caught me. Oh wait, she has that teleportation spell… never mind.

I turn myself around and I can see Twilight right behind me with a glare of disappointment and great betrayal in her eyes as of what I had done some time ago. I was face to face with my special somepony, but with the storm clouds rolling in above us. There will be a real storm between us here and just about right now by the look of it. I'm so dead. But maybe I can get away, but again probably not.

"Uh, hi Twilight!" I said to her in a way of trying to sound innocent. "Beautiful weather just like you, right?" I let out a bit of a chuckle to try and sway her off from her anger.

She just snaps at me though, but in a more mature way. "Don't you go telling me that I am beautiful as of right now! I know just about what you did in Manehattan!" She says to me, anger rising in her voice.

"What are you talking about Twilight?" I continued to try and look completely innocent. "I only had a fun time with her and she showed me around the city."

"There's more to that story where it came from," Twilight presses her hoof right onto my chest in a stern and provocative way. "I saw your memories from Manehattan! You were kissing her right on the lips!"

This just broke me out of the act of trying to be innocent. I had to come out of this, though it wouldn't be easy as I don't know the consequences. "Twilight, I didn't know what I was thinking." I said to her. Fear and sadness were beginning to build up inside of me.

"Oh you were thinking straight alright!" She shouts at me. I don't even think that she notices that some of the ponyfolk and even her two friends Fluttershy and Rarity are hearing this. Even her assistant is scared straight by how she is shouting at me for this moment. "You devoted your love to me in the first place and said you had a crush on me, but then you have the courage to even lay your lips on another mare, yet alone cheat on me?!"

"Twilight, please. It was an accident-" I tried to say, but Twilight just cast her silence spell to keep my mouth shut while she talked.

"Accident or not, you have no idea how much this hurts me!" She shouts more at me. "I can't believe you even did this to me and wasted such a devoted love between us. I thought you meant it all for me!"

I want to say something to her, but with her silence spell cast upon my mouth, my mouth is closed and I cannot even make a single sound from my voice box inside my throat. I forced to stand there and keep my eyes on Twilight while she yells at me regardless of how much hurt I was building up inside of me. Though I will admit, when she is directly not shouting at me she is very cute when she is angry.

"Seriously, that night by the lake was a moment that I wanted to last forever, but you had to exchange love towards another mare that isn't even of your interest as we have more in common…" She manages to yell before stopping there for a moment.

She must be realizing that yelling isn't going to solve this problem. So she turns her head, taking her eyes off me and lets out a bit of a sigh. I knew what she was probably thinking. She would hurt me this way through verbally yelling directly at me.

A few moments pass and she turns her head back towards me. She opens up the both of her wings and looks at me, sounding still mad but a little calmer than she was moments before. "I am very disappointed in you for your actions Brayden and you should be very well ashamed for what you did to commit an affair against me," She says to me. "I think I do have my own action on what I will do as the consequence."

The silence spell has been released from my mouth, allowing me to speak once again. But I remained silent when she was thinking of a consequence for me. But please don't let it be me being exiled from Ponyville, I would never be able to see her or my friends again. Fear builds up more inside of me.

"We are breaking up." She states simply, and then turns herself around with her back facing me. She was giving me the cold shoulder right there along with an 'hmph' coming from her.

I take a few steps forward and gently say "Twilight…" placing my hand onto her shoulder.

"Don't touch me." These are the last words she says to me before she spread her wings and lifted off the ground. My eyes start to develop a bit of mist when she lifts off into the air and heading right back to the castle.

At this point, all became silent with the neighbors and my other friends who had been watching the entire thing the whole time. With my eyes misting up, I could feel a few tears starting to drop down from the both of my eyes. Inside, it felt like my heart was just about broken from the inside. It was like as soon as she told me that she was breaking up with me, my heart had grown all dark and shattered, leaving only a hollow shell of love which I held for Twilight alone.

I just couldn't take it anymore. It all started with a few sniffles at first, but then I had begun crying in front of my friends and townsfolk. They all let an inaudible gasp of worry for me. I can hear Spike coming forward to talk to me and try to calm me down. At this point, I'm not even sure I can't be calmed down at this rate.

"Brayden, everything will be alright." Spike says to in an attempt.

I just look at him while I was sobbing with tears streaming down of my face. "No, nothing will ever be alright again!" I said to him with the volume of my voice being louder before crying some more.

I had to get away in case there were anypony else in Ponyville planning to laugh and taunt me that Princess Twilight broke up which none were showing. I turn around and began to start running for my life with tears streaming down my face.

"Come back Brayden!" I could hear Spike shouting to me. But I didn't even look back to stop. I really needed to leap onto my bed and cry out my tears into my own pillow.

I continue running through Ponyville to get to the other side. Lyra also witnessed that I was crying and it must have struck great concern for her when I ran past the bench she sat on with Bon Bon crying my heart out. I knew where I needed to go, so she didn't really go after me to try and comfort me.

I made my way out of Ponyville and was on the dirt trail for some time running and still crying away. My legs do eventually get tired from running and just slow down when I had gone to the stone bridge that pretty much told me that I was back at Fluttershy's cottage. At this point, the rain was slowly beginning to pour down and I did not want to get myself wet nor trapped outside with lightning striking about.

I step inside with the mist still in my eyes that were blinding me. I close or rather slam the front door behind me and just run up the stairs to my door on the left. I open up the door to my room, and slam the door shut which by the force of it awakens my phone which begins to play music while I got onto my bed and was just crying into the pillow while the music began.

I felt awful inside and outside and I felt like I would always relive through that event over and over. The music that I accidentally played continues with the singer from the song beginning to start vocals for this song.

There's a little black spot on the sun today

It's the same old thing as yesterday

There's a black hat caught in a high tree top

There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today

That's my soul up there

It's the same old thing as yesterday

That's my soul up there

There's a black hat caught in a high tree top

That's my soul up there

There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

That's my soul up there

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall

That's my soul up there

There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall

That's my soul up there

There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb

That's my soul up there

There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web

That's my soul up there

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out

There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt

There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed

There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

King of pain

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack

That's my soul up there

There's a black-winged gull with a broken back

That's my soul up there

There's a little black spot on the sun today

It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before in the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

I guess I always thought you could end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

King of pain

King of pain

King of pain

I'll always be king of pain

Long after the song was finished and all was silent again, I continued to cry into my pillow with the pain of heartbreak filling my soul. Besides the silence there was the sound of rain pitter-pattering against the strong glass window with the rumbling of thunder. All I felt with sadness growing evermore in me and it would last forever.

Outside my door, I can hear the sound of hooves trotting outside towards my door. The door begins to creak open and I am too sad and still crying my heart to see who was there. The hooves sound off again trotting closer towards me and my bed and then I could feel hooves pushing down on the bed's mattress to get up on the bed.

I turn my head to look at whoever came into the room so silently. It was only Fluttershy who had come in and got up onto my bed. She has a look on her face that could easily tell that she was feeling extremely bad for what I had just gone through. I don't respond to her though and I am just left putting my head back into my pillow to cry some more.

I can feel her soft and fuzzy hoof gently touch my back and begin giving it a gentle rub to try and help calm me down. "Brayden, its okay…" She says to me.

"No… everything isn't okay…" I said to her with sobs filling my really distressed or rather upset tone. "I lost the pony that loved me deeply because I cheated on her with somepony else who also loved me! I feel like such a wreck!"

"Shhhh…." She is gently shushing me while the both of her warm wings are moving around my body and lifting me a bit. I am moved a bit away from the pillow I was crying into and I turn to my best friend, putting the both of my arms around her. "I'm here for you, we're all here for you." She says to me in a calm and gentle whisper-like tone.

"Twilight hates me…" I said to myself loudly while tears continue down my face.

"She doesn't, she's just mad Brayden." She says to me while continuing to wing-hug me and rub my back with her left front hoof.

"She hates me…" I repeated again.

Fluttershy is gently shushing me once again. "Shhh…" The way she was shushing me was in a way like I had still been a small newborn trying to calm down from crying. But nevertheless, it seemed like I was very comfortable and knew who to go to now if something tragic happened involving me. "It's okay Brayden… It's okay…"

I can see my tears starting to land onto her fur and make a part of it all wet. But again, it is probably mild so she wouldn't mind that. At this moment though, I could not control my crying and my sobbing went from being loud to just being rather quiet.

Fluttershy continues to shush me gently in a soothing tone and rub my back to assure me that everything was going to be okay. Time goes by between the both of us once again and my sobbing began to ebb away and become very mild with only a bit of sniffling coming from my nose.

"Brayden?" I can hear her with question in her tone. My tears are still dropping but the tears have gone down less and less by each time of comfort that she was giving me. I take a look at her cyan eyes with my own brown eyes that were still a bit red from crying in the whites. "I'm so sorry that it happened."

"My- My love for her-" I said with pain in my tone of voice. I was clearly too upset by what happened.

"Shhhh… Brayden, you had your crying session and you can always do that," She said to me, still gently rubbing my back. "But I know Twilight; you'll see that she'll feel sorry for what she did to you as she knows how sensitive you were after she left you."

"I don't know…" I said to her with a bit of a depressed tone in my voice. "But somehow I think you're right."

"And I am right about this Brayden, so remember…" She said. Her hooves then wrap around my back with her wings accompanied from earlier. She continues talking to me but in a whisper. "I know her by my friendship to her and it's by her personality that she'll regret doing that to you and will come back to you to try and mend and fix things up between you and her. I am your best friend and though I don't have a special somepony yet, you've been helping me lead up to being comfortable with stallions. You are one of the kindest non-pony species that I have ever met and I want it to be kept that way. I- I love you… in a close friend way and I still hope you'll remember me long after you're gone."

I gently move my head forward towards her head and I gently place my head against hers as a sign of my own close trust to her. I loved her too in that way as she stated. My eyes stare right at her cute cyan eyes with my tears exchanging from my face and changing onto hers. What she said to me had touched my heart like every other friend of mine saying something good to me.

I can feel that same spark inside me flow in our friendship circle between me and her while the both of embraced in this way. Through me and her, this was another spark that had been set off just like when Applejack and I unlocked a spark of honesty at my birthday party. It was a true sign that Fluttershy had gone from being my best friend to being the closest friend that I know alongside Applejack. Invisible to our eyes, I can feel the bond of Kindness shine fluently alongside with the bond of Honesty.

Our embrace lasted for a while, but eventually I take my head off of her forehead and we are smiling at each other. One of my hands that have been around her is gently placed onto her left cheek, stroking it softly. She doesn't mind this as we feel as close as friends as ever. My tears have stopped shedding and I have gone calmer, though the event of Twilight breaking up with me is still there.

"You must be really exhausted from all that crying," Fluttershy says to me with a soft smile forming upon her face. "You have a bit of bags under your eyes."

I can feel the both of her wings lowering me down onto my dry pillow from over time of her calming down when the time was passing between us. I can feel my head begin to gently rest onto the pillow I slept on at night and her moving upward to me with her wings still around me.

"I'll help you get to sleep," She says to me in that same soft voice that I loved to hear now. "And don't worry about our hang out with Rarity, she understands that you need time."

I look at her while her wings are keeping me warm from the chilly rainy weather that was seeping from outside and into the indoor air. She moves next to me with her wings still wrapped around me, and tucking the covers for both me and her in bed. Well, in a very close friend way. I do not mind if she wants to sleep with me now as I have her full trust between us with this bond for the both of us that was formed.

"Rest now Brayden…" She whispers to me.

I kept my head on the pillow and began to slowly close my eyes while Fluttershy began to sing me a wordless lullaby to help me head off into a deep sleep. The lullaby is like medicine to help me get to sleep and I knew that it would be of great help. Soon enough, after a few minutes I can find myself resting and calmed down entirely.

But what I really hope is that Fluttershy will be right about Twilight regretting about breaking up with me and will go back to ask to get back together as I knew this was true love between me and her, and that she holds a special place in my heart besides Coco Pommel. Hopefully, she'll understand about that as well.

If not, then all that I had inside for love is just an empty hope…
