If I become friends with these ponies, what happens when I get back?
If I get back. Starlight has made it clear that my chances of going back to the plane of fire are slim to none, but if Starlight goes to Canterlot and finds a way somehow, and against all odds everything goes back to how it was before I was summoned… What then?
She is going, by the way. Her train is scheduled to leave today.
Everything will be as it ever was, I suppose. I’ll be there. They’ll be here. A nigh-impassable gulf between the two.
I’d visit, maybe, but then again Celestia might be forced to swat me from the sky to keep the peace.
And… maybe it’s better that I don’t come back anyway. I’m not particularly useful to anypony, not like this, and not in my original form. Burning hooves don’t look good on a job application.
Maybe I should just give away my memories to the other elementals instead, let them sort it out. Then maybe I could fly again without knowing it’s better with a friend.
Then again, in all likelihood I’ll be stuck in this sparking body for the rest of eternity; Or until it breaks down. I’m not sure which would be worse.
I’m not sure what to hope for when Starlight returns.
Spike, maybe take a note;
Dear Princess Celestia;
When you came over and asked me to make some friends, what in the world were you thinking?
Sincerely, your annoyed Fire Elemental, Emerald Flare.
What? That’s not rude at all!
