The Cruelty of Reality

by Unbridled Dolly


Blatant Lies

Happy was not sure what to believe. There was a new princess... the Princess of Friendship. Her role as an Alicorn Princess was to spread the Magic of Friendship to all... but Happy disagreed. If she spread the Magic of Friendship to all, why was he here? Why was he stuck in the dump with no friends to be heard of? Why was he all alone every day, no one to talk to but himself?

If her job was to spread the Magic of Friendship, she was doing a terrible job at it.

Every day, Happy followed the same routine. Get up, get ready for school, go to classes, come back to do homework and chores, and collapse in bed with no supper. Every day, Happy followed this same routine all alone. There was no sign of this magical friendship thing the new princess was supposed to spread. It was all lies. Happy decided that she would not be a princess of Equestria to him. Not even an alicorn, for each alicorn and princess was supposed to contribute something. This princess contributed nothing. Happy still cried himself to sleep every night in the crowded, lonely room. The Princess of Friendship was doing nothing.
