Confidence.

What is confidence?

It can take many forms. A knowing smile, acknowledging your own presence in the room. An eager strut as you show off your latest creation. A dash of arrogance, on occasion; perhaps not the best outlet, but when you do something incredible you do deserve a little acknowledgement.

But the most important question: How does one inspire confidence? Maintain it? Nurture it?

Well... that's my job.

Princess Luna is alone with her thoughts on the moon. Or is she? The anger and bitterness still torment her and the crushing solitude of 1000 years trapped on the moon is taking its toll on her sanity and her perspective.

After a stressful week at the boutique, Rarity decides to unwind at a local drinking establishment. Things quickly get out of hand.

"One of the seminal works of our generation. Truly a masterpiece." - Voice in my head

((I'm so sorry.))

The very element of generosity has to deal with a pony looking creature that eats every single bit Rarity is giving to her with a seemingly endless hunger.

But it's all for the good cause of blarghling, so it's okay.
