"I don't know, I just thought of the first name that came to my mind. He can't remember his name. I should have told you not to mention that. He's having a hard time moving on after that day, and that other day when his house burned down." Rarity replied.
"His house burned down? Who did it?"
"I don't know. I need to find him. Please don't say those things about his past or else this isn't going to work out." And then she left to go find Sebastian.
"Sebastian? Sebastian? Where are you?" Rarity said as she ran around her house. She looked high and low, but he somehow vanished. "Sebastian?" Rarity called out one last time. As she was walking back to tell Twilight, she heard a small voice saying, "Leave me alone!" As Rarity heard that voice, she walked to where the source was, and then she found Sebastian. "There you are. You really need to have a thicker skin than that." she said. Sebastian looked up into her eyes and say, "How can I do a thing like that if I've never had a friend before? I've never had anyone to look up to, to talk to, to even smile with. I don't even think I remember what a smile looked like."
Sebastian gets up and walk back downstairs to leave the Boutique. "At least you tried. Have this poem that I wrote when I left." Rarity grabs the poem and reads it aloud.
The mind always speaks the heart
The mind speaks the heart, but can the heart speak the mind?
Ponies can never understand how ponies really feel
Some chose to speak the truth or not, but their words will always hurt
And we will never flee from the grip those words have on one pony
"Oh my Celestia..." Rarity said as she put the piece of parchment down. She sat down and stared at the poem and then flopped down on her back and stared at the ceiling lost in thought. "What am I going to do?"
"Let me out." Sebastian said.
"No. Twilight said. "I'm trying to apologize about what happened."
"And I'm saying, just forget about it already, because it doesn't matter. When your friend comes back down, tell her that I've written tons of poetry just like that one. Now let me leave."
Sebastian attempted to walk around Twilight, but she just kept getting in the way.
"Sebastian, wait!" Rarity yelled. She ran down the stairs and grabbed Sebastian's arm. "Where are you going?"
"I'm leaving. I just want to be alone." Sebastian said, shoving Twilight out of the way. "I never agreed to this anyway."
Sebastian opened the door and left the Boutique. Every pony is after me. Sebastian thought. I've never had a friend, and I don't think this Rarity pony is even helping. Sebastian turned to look at Carousel Boutique, and then the door opened. Rarity starts trotting to him, yelling, "Sebastian! Don't leave!" and Sebastian turns around and starts running away. "Leave me alone Rarity!" he yelled out. Without looking, he saw a quick blue blur followed by a rainbow.
"Hold it right there, mister!" said the blur as it was flying above Sebastian's head. The pegasus started to fly straight down on Sebastian and crashed into him. Rarity trots to where Sebastian crashed. "Gotcha!" said the cyan pegasus on top of Sebastian. Rarity walks over to the cyan pegasus. "Rainbow Dash, what are you doing here?" she asked the pegasus.
"I was sleeping on a cloud, and I heard a door slam, which woke me up and I saw you running away from Rarity. So I flew to catch up to you, but I heard Rarity calling for you and I thought I'd help her out."
"Thank you, Rainbow dear." Rarity said. Sebastian got up and looked at Rainbow Dash, "You look familiar." he said.
"Sebastian, I want to make an offer. Please consider this so that I can help you." she said, with her hooves in a pleading state.
Sebastian looked at Rainbow Dash, who was looking at Sebastian questionably, then just stared at him. Sebastian looked into her eyes and saw a small flash of light pass her eyes. Rainbow Dash blinked and she turned around. Sebastian then looked to the pleading pony in front of him. He closed his eyes and then said, "What is your offer?"
Rarity put her hoof on her shoulder saying, "I want to take you on a dinner date. I was thinking it might make you feel better."
"Fine," Sebastian said. "As long as I can be left alone soon enough."
"Don't worry. I think you'll lose that grumpy attitude once you've went through tonight. Now come into the Boutique, I'll make you a really nice suit free of charge, then I'll tell Twilight to go home so that you'll have some breathing room."
Sebastian looked at Rainbow Dash, then to Rarity, and closed his eyes, thinking about his next decision.
"I'll do it." he said, not sounding to pleased.
"Then it's settled! I'll make a reservation at a really nice place. Everything is on me!" Rarity said excitedly.
As Rarity started walking away, Sebastian started frowning at the entire decision. Rainbow Dash then said, "Why is it starting to get cold?" Sebastian started walking away in frustration. "How did those rain clouds get here!?" screamed Rainbow Dash, with a shocked expression on her face. She turned to Sebastian, how raised one of his hooves and stomped on the ground, and as he did this, a lightning bolt struck down on a tree, and then everything ceased to normal. Sebastian started to flail around screaming, "WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO HELP ME? IF YOU WANT TO HELP ME, JUST KILL ME!" And with that said, Sebastian walked back to the Boutique, passing Twilight saying, "Look, I'm sorry I said that thing about the school and stuff."
"Just forget about it already," Sebastian said, shoving Twilight with his shoulder on hers. He walked into the Boutique and slammed the door shut.
Twilight turned to Rainbow Dash and said to her, "Why is he acting like this?"
Rainbow Dash then looked to Twilight without saying a word to her.
"What's wrong Rainbow?" Twilight noticed that Rainbow Dash had a really sad look on her face.
"Coverline. That's his name. Not Sebastian."
Twilight walked closer to Rainbow Dash. "You know him?" she asked.
"Yes, Twilight. I know who he is."
"What do you know about him? Did Rarity tell you what happened in his life or something?"
"No, that's not it Twilight." Rainbow Dash said.
"Well, spit it out Rainbow Dash!"
Rainbow Dash lifted her head to look straight into Twilight's eyes and said, "I went to school with him"
