Manehattan ~ One year later


It was the middle of a rainy night in Manehattan and Rainbow Dash leaned against a streetlight that stood on the vacant street corner reading the last Daring Do book in the series. She wore a long grey coat and a black bowler hat. She had dyed her mane different shades of grey to hide her identity as well. 

Twilight's lessons really helped with my kleptomania. That is, if you count learning all about it and its history as help. I found my own solution to deal with the regret and feeling of lost innocence. That was the real problem. If there was anything Daring Do taught me, it was that innocence is life's greatest illusion. There's no way I’d ever give up the rush I get from a good steal. I can just stick to outside of Ponyville, taking only from rich ponies that have much more than they need. 

Regret? Zero percent. 

Coolness? One hundred and twenty percent!

Her hooves tingled with anticipation as she shut the book and looked out over the softly glowing city and its many illuminated buildings. All those building that could contain things. Things that could belong to her. She then tossed the book into her bag, and glided off into the night sky above the city that never slept.
