Pinkie Pie was bizarre. She talked about many things that ponies didn't understand. She teleported from place to place. She even spoke of strange creatures who watch her recorded moves and write stories about her!

But today, Pinkie Pie was not bizarre. She was sad, and she lets the only other person available know why.

Being a Princess is exhausting. Royally exhausting. Everyday, it feels like Twilight wanted nothing more than to get away from the world.

Not like doing so was hard. In fact, she made visits to the human world whenever she could to visit her boyfriend of a few years, Flash Sentry; he was one of the few things that kept her sane.

Yet, deep down, she knows it can't go on forever. Can she really break both of their hearts for the sake of her status as a princess?

Contains Flashlight shipping, meaning sappy romantic dorks. You've been warned.

While on her way home from work, a young mare encounters a large, winged creature.

Based on the stories of the cryptid Mothman.

Pre-read by the awesome Amethyst Dawn, who also read it.
