Chapter 6 1/2: The Explanation
My name is Floral Allure, and I'm about to tell the citizens of Ponyville Shin's secret.
"Ok. It's like this," I began, "Shin is able to see through ponies through his dreams. When he meets somepony new, and he goes to sleep at night, he can see what they're really thinking, their emotions, their personal thoughts... And their secrets. Back in Dodge Elementary, he told Brute Force, Temper Tantrum, and I, what he saw in his dreams, and we became defensive about it. We abandoned him, and we never looked back... Except for me."
Everypony in town was shocked, that Shin is able to do something like this, but they were more shocked that I abandoned him for such a stupid reason.
"Why's that?" Twilight asked.
"Because I didn't leave him because I thought he was a weirdo, and I don't think that about him, I thought he was really nice." I answered.
"THEN WHY IN THE HAY DID YOU LEAVE HIM?!!" Rainbow Dash screamed.
I understand why Rainbow Dash would be mad, I wouldn't blame her if she never forgave me for what I did to Shin.
"I left him because he knew my secrets. I never had it in me to deny everything he said, so I was afraid that if he knew my deepest, darkest secrets... He would call ME a weirdo and reject me. So, I beat him to the punch, I felt bad for what I did that day. But... The worst blow of all... Was when everypony ridiculed him, for having such a gift. And he just let them do it. I realized too late that he didn't mean to hurt me with what he knew about me." I replied.
"Well, didn't you ever try and talk to him about it?" Twilight asked.
"I couldn't face him. I was afraid... No. I was terrified that he would hate me for it." I answered.
"Why should that matter to you, darling?" Rarity asked.
"I'm a pony who can't take rejection, that's why I'm with Brute and Temper most of the time, I dislike losing friends, so I went along with whatever they did and did whatever they said." I answered. "But after everything that happened today, I'm definitely NOT going miss them!"
"So that's why Shin was so depressed." Applejack commented.
"I wish I could take it all back." I said.
"We all make mistakes, Floral, and life goes on." Twilight told me. "Let's go find Shin. We need to talk to him."
We arrived at Shin's new home and tried knocking on the door...
No one answered.
Rainbow Dash tried banging on the door, practically trying to break it out. Then we heard something through the window on the 2nd floor of the house...
It was crying.
Shin was crying.
Rainbow Dash couldn't get the window open, so she tried to smash through it, but Twilight stopped her with her magic.
"Rainbow Dash, calm down! We should leave him alone for a bit and let him calm down, we'll try again tomorrow." Twilight said.
Everypony went back to their homes and I just stayed at an inn for the night. I truly hope that Shin's okay...
