Blood Red Roses

In retrospect, I should really be more concerned about Lamplight. We've already established he's a creep. I know he's got a weapon. And for some reason, he has a very unhealthy obsession with me.

If something were to happen
I should tell Daisy and Lilly at least, about Lamplight.
Or should I? That could lead to questions.

All the problems of a secret identity with none of the fun of being a superhero.

Cousin Hana's leaving today. We had a last breakfast together and she went on her way. Maybe I'll have to visit her.

Can I really make long term plans? I mean, what if

Here's a short term plan: I need a new journal. I have maybe a week worth of pages left in this one. The rest are ruined after that flood. Arg! And it iswas such a nice journal.

I bet Princess Twilight knows where to get the best journals. I wanted to go to the library anyway.

Princess Twilight's gone on some mission, but Spike gave me a few tips. His mouth was all burned and I asked him what happened. He didn't seem to be in too much pain, just soot on his lips. Poor guy. At least he's flameprooof. He said he'd mistaken some crystals for some other crystals. Princess Twilight has been working on a crystal-based magic thingamabob. Spike mentioned it was part of the mysterious train engine. The problem, he told me, was with stability. Yeah, I'll say, if they explode in your mouth.
I wonder if that's the reason for the booms we've been hearing around town?

Must be cool to be able to breathe fire. Not that I would use it much, but it would be a cool superpower. Then again, pretty much anything a dragon or even a unicorn can do is like a superpower to an earth pony. I am stronger than unicorns or pegasi, though. So, maybe superpowers aren't that big a deal or even really a thing at all.
If that's the case, should I think being a werewolf a big deal? Okay, it still is, because I know ponies would freak out, but the actual physical aspect might not be huge.
Then again, what do I know?

I looked around but couldn't find any werewolf books. It's a big library, but I like to think I know how the classification system works. There just didn't look like anything in the nonfiction section, and can I trust anything from the fiction section with real world problems?
I wonder if there's another, secret section.

Or maybe, werewolves just don't exist.

Good thing cupcakes exist.
