It had been a week since that day I remembered Fluttershy.  Those days of that week had been excruciating.

The first day when I tried to watch the show I just couldn't handle the thought of watching her, and after I had turned the television off I sat on the couch murmuring to myself about how foolish I was.  First I was sad, but anger then infused within me so abruptly that I threw the remote with intense might and it caused a dent on one of my walls.  I don't know why I did it, but in a way it sort of helped calm me down.

The second day I didn't go to work again, although I had my boss know why I was absent; I told him I was sick, plain and simple.  Of course I didn't tell him the main reason, because if you told someone that a fictional cartoon pony was your daughter, they'd call you a lunatic, senile, crazy and so forth.  I wouldn't have cared anyway, I'm basically at my mind's end.

The third day I had finally went to work.  But I was busy isolating myself from everyone that I was a mute throughout that entire day.  My boss was worried about my health, and Tina too, yet I neglected their concerns because I dared not to have them get involved with my dilemma.

The fourth to the sixth day weren't any different, so I will omit them to spare a page of my diary.

However, the seventh day of the week had to be my re-attempt at watching the show.  Before I had gone to bed for the seventh day I had my alarm set for 5:30AM -- thirty minutes prior to the show's schedule -- so that it'd be my new day-by-day schedule.

At 5:55AM I had my shower and clothes on and waited for 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' to be aired after 'Littlest Pet Shop'.  Barely do I understand about the pet shop gimmick being a cartoon show, I mean, if you look further into it there's really nothing too identical between the toys and the show.  But I digress.

Soon 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' begun with its harmonious theme and I sat through the intro until it actually started.  When the show started however, all I saw was nothing but pure blackness on the big screen.  And suddenly a face appeared - a face I never would have expected....

Princess Celestia's face.
