Interruption

Flash exhaled through his nostrils.

"I'm not a good person, Soarin'."

"Huh?" Soarin' blinked at him.

"I've had several opportunities to be good," Flash said. "And I've failed each time."

"Nopony's perfect."

"It doesn't matter," Flash said. "I'm as rotten as people in my world get. But unlike Miss First..." He looked over. "I haven't changed for the better. And being here?" He slowly shook his head. "Being here doesn't change a damn thing."

Soarin's lips parted in confusion. After some momentary fumbling, he murmured: "Well, you're okay in my book, Brad."

"Flash Sentry."

"Huh?"

"I lied," Flash said. "My name's not Brad. It's Flash." He took a breath. "And I'm not a pony. I'm a human being who snuck into Equestria from another world without invitation."

Soarin' merely stared at him.

"Now do you think I'm good?"

Soarin' opened his muzzle to respond—

"Heads up!" Spitfire could be heard shouting. "Fleetfoot! Swifttail! Stay close to Mr. Pants and the Prince! We've got canines incoming!"

Soarin' and Flash turned about. Staring across the flat surface of High Paw, they saw burrows of dust and stone opening up from underneath. Carrying spears and battered armor, a hunched group of bipedal creatures came hobbling towards the assembled group of ponies.
