Step Ten: Have A Pony You Admire Let You Down
Prepare to be devastated as one of the ponies you’ve always looked up to also just up and leaves town, completely ditching the party you invited her to. It will be the first time you’ve ever put yourself out there and tried to invite those ponies who have bothered you all through your school years Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts, Minuette, Lyra Heartstrings and Twilight Sparkle to do something fun. But it won’t be fun. It will be a disaster. Only Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts, Minuette and Lyra Heartstrings will reluctantly show up. Twilight Sparkle will ditch your party leaving you feeling miserable and awkward around classmates you barely know.
Spend the next couple of years finding a house to rent on the outskirts of town and avoiding everypony you once knew. Start burying yourself in your studies to cope with the feeling of being left alone by everypony you’ve ever taken the time to care about.
