After he came home, he put his things on his bed and thought about the future. Ponyville was a long way away from Manehattan and it certainly wasn't like it. It was just a quiet and peaceful town and it was just what he needed. He liked the quiet because he could read some books or draw something. He went ahead and got some cardboard boxes and set them on his floor. He put the boxes together and got to work.
He started to pack up all his thing as and he noticed a lot of things behind his wardrobe. He pulled it back and found loads of childhood things. He wondered when he lost all this stuff and when he was, found one of his old comics. He opened it and started to chuckle. He had forgotten why he loved these so much. Flare put them into a box and carried on packing. As he carried on packing his things, he thought to himself
"The ponies in my old comics are like how i used to be, i wonder if there are other ways to save ponies?" He put the box of comics asside and made a quick trot over to the library to look into other ways of saving other ponies. Later he found out about "lawyers". He never really considered being a lawyer as all his time used to be spent fighting crime. He thought about it for a while and decided to give it a shot. He made a quick stop off at the mayor's office and signed up to a lawyer course as he knew that it was a good thing to do.
"Doing this will not only let me save others in the law abiding way, but also a new way to direct my spare time". A few days went by and he went and sat in the classroom.
"Law school. This is gonna be a long road" Flare thought to himself as the class started. A few days turned into weeks. A few weeks turned into months. And a few months turned into 3 years and the next thing he knew, he was sitting and taking the bar exam. It was very hard. harder than anything he had done in a while but he carried on.
He left the room feeling confident and worried but he still kept his cool. A few weeks went by and he soon found himself putting on an attorneys badge. it didn't look how he expected it to look. It was heart shaped and pink. He tilted his head slightly but he still smiled at himself. He decided to relax for a while before taking on any trials.
He had hoped to have had some sort of action go on but nothing really happened. So he decided to remodel his shop to instead be an office for law. He made the decision and set about to work. He went ahead and ordered some furniture and a desk. No sooner had he posted the order and went home, a knock was heard on the door. He opened it to find a grey pegasus with eyes that seemed to defy all physics possible
"Special delivery!" she happily shouted. She presented a few boxes to Flare and then handed him some some papers to sign. Flare signed the papers and carried the boxes into the room and set about building the furniture. It took a while and a lot of angry noises but he finally finished setting it all up. He flopped back on the sofa and took a nap. He woke up to a knock on the door. It was that same pegasus. She looked confused.
"Have you seen a purple unicorn?" She asked. Flare wasn't really sure what she meant
"erm... no. Sorry" he replied. The pegasus wonky eyed looked confused. She presented a basket of muffins and nodded at Flare. So he took one and that seemed to make her happy. After she left, Flare ate the muffin and went back to sleep. While he slept, he had a dream. He dreamed that he was watching his younger self. He laughed at how unprepared and how much he slipped up but he still was a good hero. even as a kid, he still was a valiant hero. He woke up and found himself being poked by a filly with a large bow in her pink hair.
"Bleh!" Flare spluttered as she continued to poke him. "What is it?" He sat up and she hopped onto the sofa
"Howdy! My names Applebloom and my friends and I need help. So I was hopin maybe you could help?" she asked. Flare looked at her with a face that could only be described as a 'I dont wanna' face.
"Okay let me ask a few questions: one, what happened. Two, has anyone ever told you too knock. Three ,Why do I have to do it? i just finished moving into my new home plus, i'm tired and hungry." But as he went to say no, she gave him the baby-doll eyes. He couldn't say no.
"Fine. Why not? after all, i could use a walk and i could use this time to get a lay of the land and I could meet a few ponies." Flare replied with a sigh. He got up and put his jacket on
"Hey what's that thing on your jacket mister? It looks a bit weird for someone like you to be wearing."Applebloom said with a giggle
"it's an attorneys badge. And yes, i'm aware of how it looks." he said in a slight sighing tone. He glanced over to his left and right before shooting a look at her
"Im also aware of the fact that you decided to drink my drink" Flare replied in a slightly angry tone. He reluctantly followed Applebloom out of his shop/ office and down a road towards a fountain and Flare threw a coin into it
"I hope i can get this over with quick" he said to himself as they continued down the road.
