While I walked in town I catched more than a few uneasy glance in my direction. But when I looked at the ponies in question they turn their glance away. But I could hear a few hush whispers.
"It's the Sea Pony I through the Princess kept her in Canterlot." A young stallion whispered worriedly.
"No she was just there as a witness in case Anon didn't confess his crimes, you know it's not really her fault all that happened right?" A mare replied.
"I know but I just don't think it's wise of the princesses to let a filly that powerful without supervision. It's just asking for trouble, then again we're talking of the same mare who let Discord loose in Equestria. Oh buck she's looking our way pretend we're shopping or something." The two of them now seem to be very interested on what was presented on the market stalls.
My ears laid flat on my skull and a frown cross my lips. Oh great they're comparing me to Discord now, not only that but they are using this stupid nickname again.
Since the incident with Anon the castle's garden gain a new statue called, you guest it, Anonymous it's represent how dangerous it could be to trust strangers. After Celestia lost her connection to the elements of harmony she trained a cockatrice to turn criminals in stone. Anon was actually the first one she had to use it on.
As for Flash Sentry he was given eight hundred hours of community services for helping Anon. But if he tried to force himself on mares one more time he would pass a few years in the dungeon. As for me Celestia forgave me for what I have done even through I felt like I didn't deserve it.
I finally arrived at the train station. My mom and aunts were arleady there. "Hello Winter darling. Are you ready to be my model for Fashion Week?" She ask me excitedly and I nodded slowly. Being a model was exciting for a few months but after a year the novelty of it wore off. Now it was just a way to make bits while I find a way to have a normal life until the Reapers attack.
"Winter Song!" A familiar voice cried behind me. I spun around and was surprised to see a Crystal Pony I hadn't seen in months.
"S-Sweeth Tooth? What are you doing here?" She giggled in response.
"It's been a while since I saw you, so I decided to come visit. Look like I found you just in time I can't wait to see you on stage!" She scream and had the same smile a foal would have if their mother told them they were going to the candy store.
"Winter Song dear who is your friend?" My aunt Rarity ask curiously.
"Hum, this is my best friend from the Crystal Empire Sweet Tooth, she helped me a lot in integrating in the empire." Rarity could see there was something more between the two of us but didn't pry. Instead she just smiled and present some tickets. I doze off in my throughs as Pinkie Pie ask what the ticket were for.
After the Fashion Week I will have to leave Equestria to find Snowdrop the mare that disappeared for eight hundred years. I hope this is not the last time I'm seeing home.

"So how it going in Ponyville?" My best friend ask with a smile while we walk behind my family in the busy streets of Manehattan.
"Well the town is still attracting crazy events like usual, just a few days ago we got a pervert that brainwashed every mare into liking him." Sweet Tooth frown at that.
"Yeah I heard of that we weren't affect in the Empire since the Fillydelphia News Radio radio doesn't reach that far. But I heard he blackmailed you into singing, are you alright?"
I sighed, "I think some ponies in town are scared of my powers I had been lucky so far but I knew the day would come when ponies would begin to hate me or be scared." My best friend cocked her head with a questioning gaze.
"Why would they hate you for that?"
"For the same reasons why people hate homosexuals in some countries. They see it as something that isn't natural. A elementalist is a mortal with a power that was destined for a god and for that we have the heavy price of dying if we use too much magic, unlike Unicorns our magic isn't filtered through a horn that mean we can use one hundred percent of our magic. But if we use it all we die and we are force to reincarnate. Some people see it as an insult to the Elder Gods that mere mortals could have that power."
Sweet Tooth was silent for a moment. "So is there anything new in your life?" She tried to change of subject.
I smiled in response. "In fact there is! I finally found a fillyfriend we're still at the stage of making out but I think our relationship will be a good one." If I was more observant I would probably have seen the scowl Sweet Tooth was trying to hide.
"You have a fillyfriend? But what about our relationship?"
"Sweet Tooth...The past few years with you were great, but I want a real romantic relationship I can't have that if I act like a slut."
Sweet Tooth didn't hide the scowl that was forming this time. "You're not a slut!"
I look at her sadly, I could feel some rain falling on us it's always seem to fall when the moment call for it. "I wish I could believe that but let face it I did nothing these last few years than getting laid by mares that was friendly toward me. I don't even know if Golden Pie will stay with me once she learn what I did in the Empire." I realised me and Sweet Tooth had stop walking during our little talk. I trot ahead to catch up with my family leaving my friend standing alone.
"If this little bitch can't accept who you are, why didn't you chose me?" She question the now empty street with a dejected expression.

The Fashion Week was nice I didn't recognise the other models with me but it didn't matter. I would tell you about what happen with my family but if you're reading this you probably arleady know all what happened. Sweet Tooth couldn't attend the show for a reason or another.
After we got the news that we didn't win the competition, how could a hot filly like me didn't won?! Rarity got us a private show for Binny On The Hill. I'm not a fan of theater play but this one was pretty good. "I love it!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she shot up in the air. When she realised everypony look at her she drop down and said. "I mean it was aight." Her friends all laughed while I roll my eyes with a smile.
"Can I come in?" Ask the voice of a shy mare. I turn around and my eyes widened. I never through I would see the day a mare would rivalise with the cuteness of mom. But there she was the cutest Earth Pony I ever seen in my life.
"Sure" Rarity responded hesitantly. Coco Pommel approach my aunt with a shy smile before presenting a golden trophy to Rarity.
Long story short Suri Polomare tried to cheat (again) by telling Rarity and her friends that we had lost, but of course we didn't how could a sexy filly like me ever be in second place? Anyway Coco seeing that not everypony in the city were selfish as Suri decided to quit her job. As a thanks for inspiring her the shy Earth Pony gave Rarity a rainbow thread.
"I suppose you will need work now that you left Suri." Rarity began. "How about you come working for me at Carousel Boutique in Ponyville?"
A lot of emotions played on Coco's face shock, joy and uncertainties "Oh I don't know... I mean it sound lovely but I'm not sure I can leave my home town just like that."
Rarity began to think. "How about you work for me for a week to see if you like it. If you don't you can come back here no hard feelings."
"I guess we could try that." A shy smile formed on Coco Pommel's face knowing she had made a very valuable friend today.
Later that day I tried to find Sweeth Tooth but it looked like she was arleady gone. I'm stupid! When I said I was a slut she must have assumed I consider her as one as well. I hope I will be able to set things right after my trip in Dream Valley.
