“Alicia,” Shaun breathed, paling rapidly. She shook her head, the tears falling faster and faster, her hooves were getting shakier by the moment. The weather was no better. Droplets of rain turned into pouring rain, cold and hard. Suddenly, Lisa's eyes widened with realization, also followed by tears filling in her eyes. Lisa jerked away quickly from Shaun. He touched Alicia’s hoof. She unwillingly recoiled from his touch. Shaun seemed to care more for Alicia than Lisa at that moment. Lisa just stared.
“Oh my God! You marenizer! You frickin’ cheated on me! Why would you do that? Why would you want to hurt me? I gave you love! I gave up my life for you! And this is how you repay me!? I lost my parent’s trust! I could have had an education at Pliohippus by now! Pliohippus, Shaun! Forget it, it’s over!” Lisa screamed, bursting into tears and galloping to her property, away from the "marenizer". Shaun watched sadly as she angrily galloped off, narrowly missing several ponies already on the road. He soon turned his undivided attention to Alicia. His dark, wavy mane and tail, were now sopping wet. Alicia’s usually long, curly, dirty blonde mane and tail were still curly, but was also wet. Her eyes met Shaun’s. His usually kind eyes were showing all signs of regret. His expression looked a bit . . . depressed.
“Alicia, please, let me explain!” Shaun pleaded, “I . . . I was so stupid to do that. It’ll never happen again.” Alicia turned to face him.
“I wish I could believe you. I wish I could.” Alicia glared at him. She then caught a glimpse of a huge mud puddle just behind him, suddenly getting an idea. She walked up to him, and he clucked his tongue in approval. She put her forelegs around him, obviously shocking him. Alicia quickly unwrapped her forelegs from around him, and pushed him. Shaun fell in the mud puddle, mud all over his hot stallion body. He blinked.
As I read these words, these breathtaking, heart-wrenching (?) words, I cried. These words on the pages of the book The Mare with Lace, I remembered my past experiences with Prince Blueblood at the Grand Galloping Gala. The weird thing was that he didn't acknowlege that I was the Element of Generosity! He treated me like dirt instead. The other weird thing is that somehow, I . . . I still like him. He's handsome, and smart. Quite possibly shy, which would explain his actions at the Grand Galloping Gala. Still, he might just be a jerk, and if he is so, then I never want to be in his presence again. I wish things could've gone better. *Sigh* I guess it's too late for that. Too bad I have to kill him now. Nah, I'm just kidding.

They say seconds can go by, and it would feel like nothing at all happened. No babies were born, no one died, nothing. The world was just at peace. That's how it felt for the second
