When I left the hospital accompanied by Fluttershy, I told her what I had planned to do.
As my father died, I thought of checking his house if any will was left, or at least take care of the property. When my brother visited me at the hospital, I told him about that. He didn't like the idea of already remembering one of our parents lost, why add another one? He asked me. But he accepted, he thought it was the right idea anyway.
I told Fluttershy, and she quickly went in a sorrowful state, I think she felt coming what I was about to tell her now.
"I'm sorry, but I think we'll have to pause our relationship for some time."
Instantly a tear formed in her eye, I wiped it off.
"Forgive me, but I have to deal with this first. I promise I'll come back when everything settles down in Canterlot."
She calmed down a little, but she was still crying. She tried to speak, but failed.
"Don't worry, we won't be totally out of reach, I'll write to you from there. Or you write me! I'll give you the address later, okay?"
She nodded, and wiped her tears with her arm.
"C'mon, let me walk you home, I'll tell you when I leave tomorrow, so you can come to say goodbye."
I dropped her at her cottage and headed back home.
"When do you think we should go?" I asked my brother.
"I dunno, you tell me, I'm fine anytime." he answered.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, but don't take too long, I'll just have to warn everypony that I'll be taking some vacations for this."
"I should do the same too. Well, how about in two days at most?"
"Sounds good to me."
"Done, two days from now, the day after tomorrow."
"Wait! How are we gonna enter dad's house? We don't have his key"
"I got a copy from that key, and besides, we have to ask Shining Armor about that."
"That's true."
"Well it's decided, in two days, we'll be leaving for Canterlot." I concluded.
The hardest decision was made, and now it was time to think of the future.
