How are you?
Brush
Hey! :) Glad you made it back safely.
I'm good. Still on leave and bored out of my skull. :/ Ponyville, great and all but there's nothing to do here. My only nightlight is having a round with DaBoss, Lurkling, and 2ndHalf about Wonderbolt stuff.
How are you doing?
CEOWitch
Mota just broke up with me
Brush
?!?
CEOWitch
I need to talk to somepony right now.
Brush
Are you at the cottage? I'll be there in fifteen seconds.
CEOWitch
No. Here. I want to be along for a while. I know it doesn't make sense... I just feel like my life is over.
Brush
Sorry I'm dumping this on you. Lyra will be a mother soon and I didn't want to bother her with me again. And I don't want the others to know... I just felt you can be a shoulder I can cry on.
Three months over just like that. Yesterday was the day I was supposed to make the big announcement. Saying that Mota and I are officially an item. He wanted that so much. At times he wouldn't stop talking about it. I'm such and idiot!
If I hadn't wasted time with Rarity and her stupid gems, I might have made it on time. Why couldn't I just say no when it counts?
Brush
He said that he couldn't live like this. I knew he was always worried about me. I've never had that before. Usually, I'm the one who worries. I worry about my friends, I worried about myself, I worry about everything... I never thought somepony else could worry about me as much.
Stability and reliability. That's what he wanted. As if I don't want those!
Brush
Brush, I don't know what to say...
CEOWitch
Say that everything's fine and things will get back to what they were?
Brush
I could. You know it'll be a lie. We stallions are weird creatures. MasterOfThisAstra is a spoilt jerk used to getting it his way, but he's in this case it's a bit better. You could probably get him back if you chase after him. He'll cry a bit, pout a few days, but in the end he'll give you another chance. It still won't work. As many chances as he gives you the situation will repeat over and over until you have foals. Once that happens he'll leave you forever.
My father did that. He loved my mother to insanity. He just didn't have the stomach for it. I remember when I was a foal he'd stay up all night looking at the sky, waiting for her. Then one day he took me and left. He wanted stability, calm, a proper environment for raising a foal.
As my mother you have a choice to make.
CEOWitch
Why must there always be a choice?! Can't it be simple? Can't he just accept me for who I am?!
Brush
No, Brush, he can't.
CEOWitch
I remember the first time we met. I was so nervous back then. And so was he. I found it so weird a collegecolt being attracted to me. And the brother of a site friend. I was his first. He fell asleep right after we kicked the hay, remained there hugging me till morning. And I hugged him back.
I was so scared afterwards. I thought I had taken advantage of the situation, and I did. I know I did. I just needed Lyra to tell me everything will be alright. Sometimes things aren't alright, are they? I just...
Brush
Sorry, Brush. I might not be the best person to talk to. I'm not like Lyra. I'm also a stallion. I can understand him. Remember when I saw you two at the meetup? I was convinced back then it would never work. There were just too many difference between you two. And I don't mean him being rich or an earthy. It's the things you see in life, your expectations.
MasterOfThisAstra came with the idea of the costumes, didn't he? You just followed for him. I expect you thought that he'd follow you as well in the things he doesn't agree with? That doesn't work like that.
CEOWitch
Sorry, I can't think right now :( I just miss him. Terribly much. The pony I was considering to be the father of my foals and now... I'm alone again, as always. Everypony around me finds love, and me... I'm the idiot that could even keep it!
Mota was one in a million. He was the only pony to see something in me. Like really. Flirts, flings, even the occasional week of courtship... after that, though they get tired of and move on. That's why I became Brush. I was tired to be brushed aside, so I became the brush. I thought Mota wouldn't brush me aside...
Brush
Brush, you just had your heart plucked out. Right now you're in no condition to read anything I say. After a few days you will, though, so that's why I'm writing it.
To be honest I've never been in your situation. Usually it was me having the talk with my exes. You're mr than a great pony, that much is clear, and as much as you think the world will end now it won't. Just, please (and I mean this seriously) don't hurt MasterOfThisAstra.
CEOWitch
Hurt him? I'll never hurt him, even after what he did to me. I love him, can't you understand that? If I didn't I wouldn't be like this!
Brush
I know. I just want to be sure others know it as well. I also think you shouldn't be alone. Stop whatever you're doing and take a trot with a friend. It doesn't have to be me (although I'm always here if you need me) but do it.
CEOWitch
Will it make me feel better?
Brush
I don't know. I'll be here to see you through this, however. Whatever it takes. And not only on the aethernet. So if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, just tell me, okay?
CEOWitch
I just want to be alone right now. Sorry. I didn't want to bother you.
Brush
I'll always be just a PM away, Brush. Always.
