Kain was in his bed under the covers mopping as he kept thinking about what happened two days ago with mane-iac and sparkplug. The words that sparkplug said were still buzzing in his mind and it only made him even more depressed. Rainbow dash walked upstairs and gently opened his door "kain?". "ugh...". "come on sweetie, you've been in that bed for two days straight. I think it's time you got outside". Kain turned over as he faced his mother "why bother? I'm too weak" he said as he pulled the covers over his head "so let me go back to being depressed". Rainbow dash sighed as she then laid on kain's bed "kain" she said. "go away". "kain look at me". "no". "look at me". Kain pulled the covers off of him as he sat up and faced his mother. Rainbow dash then wrapped her hoofs around him and pulled him into a hug, rainbow dash then whispered to him "your not weak at all. And I don't want you to ever think that ever again ok" she said, kain could only sigh as hugged his mother back "fine, I won't think I'm weak" he said. Rainbow dash smiled at him as she released him "that's my baby boy" she said as she poked his nose makin kain scrunch his face. "quit it mom! I'm not a little kid anymore" he said as he turned away from her and got out his bed as soon as possible. Rainbow dash snickered as she watched him leave the room "well you are my one and only child" she said. After he got dressed he walked over to the door but was stopped by rainbow dash. "kain" she said. Kain glanced at her "yea?". "just remember what I said ok, just keep playing my words in your head over and over again ok". Rainbow dash then wrapped her wings around him as she smiled "I can't bare to see my child depressed". Kain nodded as he returned her hug as he opened the door "thanks mom" he said as he left. Kain walked down the street as he thought on ways to get stronger. Since he didn't have school today he decided to see if his friends were able to hang. He pulled out his earpiece and checked to see if anyone able to to do anything. 'let's see, I'll try sara' he thought as he called her up. He waited a bit on the other line until he herd a voice. "hello?". "Sara! Hey". "kain hey, how are you? Are you feeling better?" she asked. Kain sighed on his end "yea...I'm ok" He said. "are you sure?" Sara said. Kain thought for a bit before he came up with an answer "yup". Sara didn't say anything as she just smiled on her end "ok, so what's up?". "well, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me today". "oh that sounds great, but". "but?". "but I have to help out my mother with her errands today" she said. "bummer" kain said in a defeated tone. "I'm sorry" Sara said "but hey, maybe Vergil could hang with you today". This made kain smile a bit "not a bad idea, thanks Sara". Sara giggled a bit "it's fine, but I do look forward to the two of us hanging out sometime". "y-yea, sure thing". "ok, I have to get going. I'll see you soon. Oh and kain". "yea?". "try not to do anything reckless" she said as she hung up. Kain just stood there expressionless. "piff, like I'm gonna do something reckless" he said as he called up Vergil. "I can't hang, father and I are working out" Vergil said. "crap" kain said. "sorry bro" Vergil said as he hung up, kain tapped his foot in frustration. 'let's try raven' he thought. Raven "can't darling, making a new dress". 'ok, maybe axel'. Axel "working around the bakery". 'Megan?'. Megan "no can do, bucking apples". "ugh! I quit!" kain said as he walked down the street, "how is it that everyone is busy today? It just doesn't make any sense!". As kain was ranting he didn't see storm streak walking in front of him as the two then collided with each other. Storm streak was the first to get up "ouch, hey what's the bi-" he quickly realized who bumped into him "k-kain! Oh man I'm so sorry" he said as he helped him up, kain dusted himself off "that's ok, it was my fault anyway" he said "so were are you off to?" kain asked. Storm streak pondered a bit until he thought of an answer "well to be honest I haven't really thought of that" he said "what about you?". Kain sighed "I was gonna hang with my friends, but there all busy. So I have nothing to do" he said. Storm streak then thought of something "well since you don't have anyone to hang out with, you think I could tag along?" he asked. Kain smiled as he nodded "sure thing". Storm streak smiled as the two walked down the street. A few minutes pasted as they continued there walk as storm streak was glancing at the walls that stood over the city. He then turned to kain who was looking around "hey kain" storm streak said. Kain broke out of his train of thought as he looked at him "hm?". "have you ever wondered?". "about what?". Storm streak then stopped walking as he looked at him "have you ever wondered what you would do once you became a member of the wonderbolt assassins?" he asked. Kain crossed his arms as he thought about what storm streak said. "that's a good question" kain said "well, I guess I would try to help out as many ponies as possible. But honestly I'm not sure how I would pull it off". Storm streak smiled "well I'm sure you'll think of something. After all you have your friends to help you out, you got Sara, Vergil, raven, axle, and Megan" he said with a bit of a sigh when he said megan's name. "heh, well you have a good point. But I also got you as well". Storm streak looked at him "m-me?" he said. Kain nodded at him "of course, your my friend after all. Even though we just met at the academy a few days ago, I still see you as a friend" he said. Storm streak smiled at what he said. "thanks" storm streak said. Kain placed his hand on his side "anytime man, oh and one more thing". "what?". "you so have a crush on Megan" kain said as he fell to the ground laughing causing storm streak to blush madly "I do not!" he said in his defense. "besides everypony knows that you have a huge thing for Sara!". Kain quickly stopped laughing as he looked away from him "do not" kain said. "yes you do" storm streak said with a sly grin. Kain quickly got to his feet and walked away from him covering his ears "I don't wanna hear it" kain said. Storm streak followed him as he kept saying sara's name causing kain to run down the street as storm street flew after him.

As she was looking over the photos there was a knock at the door. "come in" she said, the door opened up.
