Daddy was sentenced to be exiled out of Equestria for twenty years to life. Mom had to stay overnight in the house I slept in. As of me, I saw the doctor again, who said that I lost so much magic, that I possibly won't be able to fly for the rest of my life; all that I've become now is just a weak earth pony with wings and a possibly permanent blank flank at that.
Today was my last day of school, so I got home as soon as possible; I was so excited that I could stay up late instead of waking up early to look at the moon. Then I realized that I wouldn't hanging with my friends that much for the next three months. I guess they could "get over here" when they want. I stopped to think though. Who else was in my life? Who else were friends that I didn't hang out with in any relation with school? I was drawing a blank. I knew Daddy had heart, but I never knew he was right about what I was about to think. I didn't have a social life outside of school. I spent so much time with my school friends, I didn't have any time to go out and meet ponies just outside.
These next few months was my chance to do just that. Finding new friends and keeping my school ones too. This was a new life for me that I'd never forget, one that I've been dying to have, one I chose to have.
"Hey Mom?"
"Yes, Medium?"
"Any next door neighbors around here I could meet?"
"Well, you can go outside. I'm sure there are, but you need a wing to get under, you can always ask me."
"Thanks."
