Pipsqueak slowly trotted through the streets of Ponyville, looking downtrodden. After being traumatised earlier today, he just wanted to get home, lie down, maybe have something to eat, and work through all of this with the help of his loving family.

Picking his head up out of his depression, he decided to stay confident in spite of everything that happened. Everything is going to be just fine. He thought to himself, choosing to have faith in the kindness of the Universe.

When he finally reached his house, he opened the door, with a big smile on his face. “Hello, Mum and Dad. I’m…”

…and then the house was crushed by a huge piece of crystal, killing everypony inside.

“…home.”
