A pony's impending death causes her to reflect on some of the recent developments in her life. But such revelations rarely last, and the chains of daily concerns are not easily cast aside once the danger has passed.

Clover the Clever owes all she is in life to the whim of the unicorn princess. Platinum isn't perfect, but Clover has seen first hand the good she can do.

Thanks to my proofreaders: Skeeter the Lurker, Mook Massacre and Flint Sparks.

Twilight finds a dusty old book full of puns and begins to use them, much to the dismay of her friends, considering her puns are slowing down their travels and they need to be PUNCTUAL.

Rarity had high hopes for today when she went to ask out the stallion of her dreams, but when things turn sour, she needs something to help her forget her troubles. Applejack suggests a camping trip, and Rainbow Dash, the crusaders, and, most importantly, Rarity take to the idea.

Dash thinks she has the solution to Rarity's problems and sneaks a fair bit of alcohol to the camping site. Rarity, eager to forget about the day, takes her first sip...

Things only go downhill from there.

Credit goes to Flint Sparks for the original concept and for pre-reading and pointing out things that needed to be improved. He also asks everypony to check out his group.

Love is most appreciated in the nights it keeps us awake.

OCCASIONALLY, WHEN RELAXING BETWEEN MONSTER TRUCK RALLIES AND ROCKET LAUNCHES, TWILIGHT "SCREW IT" SPARKLE RELAXES WITH A BOOK BY THE WARM FIRELIGHT OF OTHER LESSER BOOKS. LITERALLY, A BOOK, AS ONLY HER OWN AUTOBIOGRAPHY CAN SURVIVE THE SCRUTINY OF A GOD AMONG GODS-WHO-SUBSEQUENTLY-BECOME-MEWLING-WHELPS-BEFORE-HER-EYE-SEARING-GLORY.

THIS IS HER STORY.

AS IF YOU'D READ ANY OTHER.

(DUE TO A SURPRISINGLY APPROPRIATE WORDCLOUD, COVER ART NOW EXISTS. YOU MAY REJOICE.)

Immortality comes with a hefty price. Stuck in this miserable, lifeless body I'm forced to endure many years in silence and isolation. The only thing I have to look forward to is a pony who insists on talking to me, even if I cannot hear her. I am a dragon, an immortal, the one who died for the one I loved. Who is this mare?

Perhaps her words will reach me someday.

Have you ever had a hopeless love for one you could only yearn for? Why must I feel this way? Perhaps someday my love will reach her...

My dear, sweet Carousel Boutique.
