Intro Theme:
First thing's first; Inventory Review! You wonder how long has it been since you've checked it...
Before you head out, you look to Nightshade and say,
“OK, first things first, let’s make sure what we have all our stuff, keep it in track so we don’t leave it tomorrow."
She nods her head and the two of you look through both your Inventories.

“Thank goodness for hammer space,” you say after looking through all your stuff. “Though I remember it being a bit more cluttered than this.”
“I junk jetted a lot of stuff back in Applewood,” Nightshade chuckles nervously, rubbing the back of her neck.
“Well, I guess it was for a good cause then. Certainly did need a clean after all our shenanigans.” You both then put back on your saddlebags. You then look to your daughter and say,
“Alright Nightshade, I’ll meet you either for lunch or dinner. I’m going to go tie up some loose ends, say some goodbyes and whatnot, so you might as well go see your friends.
She nods, and silently walks down the road. You see her shoulders slumping and a bit of guilt hits you.
“I’m sorry honey…”
Shaking your head from these thoughts you look around the apple farm and sigh.

You look back at your shed, your little home away from home and you feel sad knowing you only have one more night within it.
Selena, What should I do? I know I have to leave, but I don't want anyling here to think I have died again, so I need a really good/believable cover story for leaving. So how should I go about this?
She clicks her tongue as if in thought,
Honestly Bugze, I am unsure. Aside from you and that traitor, I’ve never had anyone close. When she and I were one, we didn’t have the luxury of bidding farewell.
I have. Just leave them bitter and cold and alone. No letter, no explanation, just abandonment, just like what she did to me. Sombra grumbles.
What are you talking about?
…Hope…he says bitterly.
Roling your eyes you think, I’m not talking about losing hope, I’m talking about leaving acquaintances behind dummy. He grumbles at that, but then you add, Although what you’ve said has given me an idea.
And what Idea could you possible receive from the mind of a mad stallion? Selena inquires.
A letter. Since I’m not planning on telling anyling I’m actually leaving, I could leave a letter for them tomorrow. I could tell them a semi truth, that I received a tip about skipping town, and that I couldn’t bear to tell them straight to their faces.
Seems rather impersonal, but considering our predicament…
You nod and continue,
Yeah, it makes me feel a bit sick to my stomach letting them know this way. Heck, the last time I did this, they thought I was going to commit suicide. But at least this way I don’t have to worry about being dragged back.
You then put a hoof to your chin,
And to avoid a mess like last time, I’ll tell them I’ll still keep in touch with them. Appleloosa may be out in the middle of nowhere, but even they have the postal service. I could just say my brother found me a safe place to live.
Hmm. That would seem a fair compromise. If you ensure that they get the occasional message from you and one from Nightshade for her friends, then they may not investigate further. Especially if you spend this last day among their company.
Exactly, you agree. Since it is a Sunday, everyling should be off of work, even Rainbow Dash is off from the academy for the weekend. I’ll make sure none of them feel cheated too much for when BST leaves…but before that.
You close the door and walk back into the room, getting a pad and paper.
There’s someone I should write to. This talk of leaving notes has reminded me that I forgot to do something.
Ah yes, you had wished to write to…what I guess is technically my niece after all that happened on that camping trip.
Hey, you poured out your soul to me, we went on an emotional roller coaster, and I fell off a cliff and got rescued by some mystery stallion, the little things get lost after something like that.
Indeed.
With that, you write a long overdue note to the mare who was essentially your first friend.
Dear Cadence,
Sorry it has been a while since I've written to you. After the Crimson Knights were taken care of, I figured that I would lie low a bit. However, it seems that the nice break my daughter and I had is at its end. Just this morning, I received a letter warning me that I would have to leave the safety of the place you first sent me and that my days would be filled with despair for a while. I am not sure what this warning means, but I do not plan to ignore it and hope for the best. So today, I plan to walk around, spend time with both friend and frenemy alike, and try to make my and everyling else's memory of me a good one, as tomorrow I will be gone. Also, I’ll try to write to you more often. I realize that you are my first and oldest friend and I don't want you to feel like I have forgotten about you. I honestly pray that there will be a time that I can one day walk around freely in Equestria and not be attacked for what I am, and that I can have more friends like you who know who (and what) I am and accept it. Once the worst of whatever is coming my way has passed, I plan to start a special project that will not only be beneficial for me, but for a few other as well. I cannot go into detail now, as I do not have much more than a concept, but I think it is something you would approve of. I want to help a few ponies close to me, but until I have a better idea of how, I will leave it at that. As much as I curse Lady Luck, I truly hope she will help me in this endeavor. Well I need to go for now, so until next time, Take care.
Your friend,
Bugze
As you prepare to send off your heartfelt letter, you hear a bit of sniffling inside your head.
That was beautiful. You can be a real sweetheart when you want to be.
Um, thanks I think? You think back with a blush.
So what is this project you mentioned in the letter?
Simple, getting you a body of your own, you reply as if it’s obvious and send Cadence her letter.
She gasps at that. What?
You think back to her,
I did Pinkie Promise you didn’t I? Once we’re resettled back in Appleloosa for awhile, I can finally make a plan for making good on it.
B-But Bugze, even if you found a way, the deposed king is still within you.
Yeah, don’t you remember the “ponies close to me” part? He’s technically close sharing my head and everything. And if getting you a body means getting him out too, then I will find a way. That’s why I called it a project, since I have to figure out a means for getting both of you out. Who knows, maybe he could get his own body and he’d turn over a new leaf.
Oh of course, I’ll frolick in meadows without a care in the world and pick flowers and do good deeds and other such bullspit, he says sarcastically.
See? Even he’s in the spirit, you jest causing him to grumble again.
I…well then, I did not expect you to make a plan of action so soon, she mentions still surprised.
Well, it’s more an idea of a plan. First we have to leave here and get Stetson Wearing Bugze’s life back together in Appleloosa, and then we can start.
Even still, I am grateful for your resolve, she says happily.
Smiling you place the message tube back into your inventory and reopen the door.
Alright, so we know our plan for the future, let’s go deal with the present.
You walk out your door and start heading into town in the early morning, no clear destination in mind.
Looking around, you can tell it’s a pretty peaceful day. The note’s ominous warning seems in sharp contrast to it. Then again this is Ponyville, disaster center of Equestria, but still.
Kichi’s Comment
“What could possibly be coming that I have to bail town?” you think for a moment. “Hmm, maybe it’s Discord? Probably going to show up and wreck the town showing Celestia how stupid she is?”
Knowing our luck, that is entirely possible.
“Well, if it is, then I could finally get vengeance on him…somehow. I know Fluttershy said she reformed him, but I don’t know, I feel as though he’d sell everyling out if he had the chance…”
I agree, his reformation seems entirely too convenient.
“Exactly, and he always said he’d be watching me…Like right NOW!” you yell looking behind you seeing absolutely no one. “Rrrrrright NOW!” you whip your head to the side, seeing nothing but an apple tree. “Um…Now?” you look up to the sky and see the sun slowly rising over the horizon.
Now you are just sounding paranoid.
“I am properly paranoid, thank you very much!” you declare. “And if I can help it, we will remain off Lady Luck’s Radar before we leave.”
I understand that, but…
“Constant Vigilance!” you yell spinning in a circle, which only serves to make you dizzy.
She sighs and you know she’s rolling her eyes.
“Alright fine, maybe he’s not watching this exact moment, doesn’t mean he’s not the despair the note talked about. Now…what was I doing again?” you say as the world stops spinning.
Bidding farewell to the psychopathic members of this town that you call friend and foe at the same time.
“Right, right. I just have to figure out how to say goodbye to everling, and NOT screw it up with my bad luck. If only I had a lucky rabbit’s foot…”
You would amputate a rabbit’s foot? How would that be sneaky and vigilant?
“Oh, is that how those work? I thought you just hold onto a bunny leg while he squirms or something. Either way, maybe Fluttershy might have some spares from some…non living rabbits."
How could they possibly be lucky if they are dead?
“I don’t know, but I guess asking to dismember her dead friends might upset her, so I guess that options out. Let's still head to her cottage now, Fluttershy should be the first I say goodbye to.”
With this in mind, you start walking towards Fluttershy’s Cottage.
As you walk, you have some more thoughts.
“I’m sure Fluttershy will be understanding, if not a bit sad when we leave, and most of the Deadly 6 too.”
What of your group of stalkers though?
“Hmm…good point. Chances are they’ll be heartbroken again. I know, I’ll get them all some flowers, that should make it less painful for them…or at least that’s what grandbuggy always said was protocol when leaving a mare.”
Thinking that buying flowers from the Flower Trio would raise some questions, and more than likely make them faint for absolutely no reason, you decide to gather your own. Between the Apple Farm and Fluttershy’s cottage, you find a small thicket of flowers amidst the trees on the border of the Everfree.
Kersey’s Comment
"OK, so about twelve apiece should make a bouquet, so let’s see. Well Rainbow and Applejack are a given, one’s my boss, and Rainbow will more than likely notice if I only give her flowers, so that’s two dozen. And I should visit Octavia today about her idea starting the horde again, and she lives with Vinyl so I guess that’s another two dozen. Who else…?"
The pink sultry masseuse will most certainly get jealous if she receives none, likely causing it’s own set of problems, Selena adds.
“Oh, good point. Better get some for Aloe as well. And last but not least, Fluttershy.”
You sigh at that before saying,
“Things between she and I have been…awkward with her new understanding towards you. I mean, we’ve still hung out with the weeks we’ve been here, but now that she’s no longer the president of the Horde, we don’t have any more super secret spy meetings and what not. And now that I’m leaving, she deserves some flowers even more so.”
Hmmph, if you feel the need to waste such a gesture that she will take out of context, Selena mumbles.
“Oh don’t be like that Selly, She’s still my friend. Heck, after Cadence, she was my second friend before I even met you,” you counter.
I’ll remind you that she’s still gleefully under the impression that those tranquilizers are for me, she huffs.
“Yeah, well it’s better than declaring that the Crystal King is in my head. Besides, it’s probably no different than Flash’s medication for his temperament…Oh crud, Flash is leaving today,” you remember suddenly. “Gotta do something with him as well.”
Oh, so another dozen flowers then? Selena snarks.
“Bwah!” you shudder at that image and jump out of the flower patch. “Don’t even joke about that!” you whine while she chuckles.
Mentally bleaching that thought from your brain, you go about making the flowers into bouquets ala duct taping their stems together.
“There, now they’ll absolutely know they’re from me,” you say looking over your handiwork.
You then place them into your inventory.
6 Bouquets added to Inventory.
“Alright, I’ll deal with my adoring stalker crowd, starting with Fluttershy, then I’ll work my way towards other frenemies and my best bro.”
Fine, let’s get this awkward visit with the animal tart over with, she says begrudgingly.
“Ugh, Look, I know you two don’t exactly get along, but don’t you know the old saying of “If you can’t say anything nice?”
Of course I know that annoying adage. The Sunflanked Tyrant came up with it, she grumbles.
“Well if you can’t say ANYTHING nice, then don’t say anything at all, it will make all three of us happier in the long run,” you say with a roll of your eyes.
Hmmph, you hear her harrumph, Fine, if anything, I will complement her body.
“Wait, what now?” you say taken aback.
She does have a graceful delicate beauty, and when that traitor and I were one, there were talks of creating a harem of the best mares and stallions in the land. She could’ve been a contender for a spot. There, is that NICE enough for you?
Taking the complement a bit too far, you imagine a scene of Selena and Fluttershy in Saddle Arabian clothing together on a bed, holding each other and-
*Spurt*
Some blood flies out your nose and absorbs into your scarf.
“Oh great! Now I need some lemon and seltzer water to get this stain out. And wait, don’t you normally respond to these kinds of thoughts with a-“
*gong*
"There it is..." you say dizzily.
I complimented her looks, not her attitude. I will not be snogging her anytime soon Mister!
“Yeah, yeah…” you sigh.
Awhile later, you arrive at her cottage and knock on the door.
“Oh, good morning Hoody,” she says happily as she opens it up.
“Morning Fluttershy, are you busy?”
“Well, not at the moment, I will be in a bit though. Twilight has been coming by the last couple days to work on a magic trick she’ll be showing for the Saddle Arabian visitors.”
“She’s been coming here for a magic trick? What is it?” you ask curiously.
“She does a delicate intricate juggling trick with many of my critter friends,” she replies causing you to raise an eyebrow.
“She’s juggling animals? And they let her?” you ask flabbergasted.
“Oh of course, as a favor to me. She’s not hurting them, and some even find it fun.”
“Oookaaay. Well before that happens, can I talk to you for a sec?”
“Sure, come on in.”
She lets you into her house, and you see Harry the Bear sitting on the couch reading a magazine. You nod at him and he nods back.
“So, what did you want to talk about?” she asks.
You are about to speak, but before you do…
Kichi’s Comment
Angel Bunny suddenly jumps on your back, holding a daisy. He opens up your Inventory and dives in.
“Angel!” spouts Fluttershy.
“OI! Get out of there you little fluff ball!” you order.
All you hear in response is a mechanical screech of surprise, and stuff being knocked over.
“Oh come on! I just organized everything!” you whine.
Suddenly, the bag is thrown open as you see the panicked Robot Fox jump out and run off into the house, with the bunny hot on her heels.
“Angel! I don’t think she wants to play,” Fluttershy calls after him.
“I’m not sure he’s wanting to “Play” either…however the heck that works,” you say as your eyes wobble.
Shaking your head, you witness the chase as it goes around the house with Harry the Bear rolling his eyes. At one point, Mangle finds a Glowstick in the ferret beds and starts chasing Angel with it, trying to hit him on the head. That is until he gets his own glowstick, and he keeps defending himself from her attacks as their “Epic Battle” continues around the house.
“Should we stop them?” Fluttershy asks?
“They’ll tire out eventually,” you say as you hear a crash come from upstairs. “Eyup…Eventually. Ahem, anyway getting back to before this Furry Star Wars fight…
Kersey’s Comment
“I came to bear some bad news.”
“B-bad news?” she asks hesitantly.
“Yeah…but before I say what, here, take these” you say as you hoof over one of the bouquets causing her eyes to widen.
5 Bouquets Remaining
“Hopefully these help ease what I’m about to-“ she cuts you off as she suddenly gasps in excitement,
"Are those medicus furorem?" she says as she eyes the flowers.
“Are they what?”
It’s ancient Romane for Furry Healer, Selena answers.
"Oh, well I don’t know I thought they were just flo-"
"I thought these flowers were impossible to find in Equestria!" she says excitedly as she pulls out a wooden mortar and pestle, "They've been said to help treat all fur-related illnesses!"
“Really? Because I kind of just found them at the Edge of the Everfree between here and the Farm.”
“Oh My Goodness! And so close too!” she squees as she takes the pestle and starts crushing the flowers into paste.
"Oh, Well I'm glad you like th-" suddenly Fluttershy hugs you.
"Oh Hoody, I can't thank you enough!" she says
“No problem,” you say as you smile. “Heh, glad to see we’re back to our old ways of me doing something without realizing it and you being all happy.”
“What do you mean?” she asks as she steps back from you.
“Oh nothing, just how things have been kind of awkward between us and all,” you admit.
"Oh Hoody, I'm so sorry if I made you think like that! You're not the problem, you've never been the problem! It was just..." she looks away with an upset glare, "Her."
Oh of course, she replies exasperated.
Don't start, I don’t need the headache.
"I know she still doesn’t like me, and I’ll admit I still have some strong feelings about her…But now that you're keeping her sedated, she won't be (much) of a problem!" Fluttershy says more cheerfully, "Speaking of which, I talked to some animal pharmacists I know a few days ago and Derpy just delivered some new tranquilizers!"
She then flies into the kitchen before coming back with a bottle with a picture of a sleeping rock golem with Zzzz's over it's head.
"What's that stuff?" you ask a bit nervously.
"These are Super-Ultra-sleeping pills! A dozen times more powerful than those elephant tranquilizers I gave you! They've even been banned in Equestria for the side effect of putting some ponies into comas so this will be perfect for her!" Fluttershy says perhaps a little too excitedly.
"Uh..." you and Selena both think/say as Fluttershy happily gives the bottle to you.
"Thanks. I guess…" you say accepting so as to not upset the normally sweet and shy pegasus.
1 Bottle of banned "Super-Ultra-sleeping pills" added to Inventory
Don't even think of putting THEMS into m-
If you don't shut it, I'll down a whole bottle right now you bluntly mentally interrupt Sombra.
I don’t know Bugze, 12 times the size of an Elephant is dragon territory. We may be strong, but those might put all three of us out.
Look, I still got plenty of the Elephant pills, so we’ll just worry about that later.
As Fluttershy happily turns back around to keep crushing up the flowers you clear your throat getting her attention.
“Oh, right. You had bad news…” she says, the smile falling from her face.
“Yeah…look Fluttershy, my days in this town are coming to an end.”
She listens attentively to that.
“I even told all of you this after the Pinkie Clone incident, but I’m not staying forever.”
She looks down at this, “Oh…”
“I’ll be leaving here soon, I won’t tell you when, but you’ll know when everyling else does.”
She frowns at that, “Do you have to?” she whispers.
Looking down you nod and say, “Sorry, but I have to. The longer I stay here, the more likely something bad will happen. That’s just how my life goes.” You then look back up to her, “Besides, Ponyville is nice, but it isn’t my home. I haven’t been home for nearly two years. I miss it.”
She gasps at this, “Y-You don’t mean…b-back to the Hive?”
“No no no,” you reassure. “That wasn’t home either. I won’t tell you where, but just know that it is a place where someling like me can live in peace.”
“But, what about your brother, the bounty hunter?” she asks.
“I guarantee he’ll find me there. For right now he just wants to be out of the limelight, and I don’t blame him.”
She nods at this and looks down. She closes her eyes and lets out a big sigh. You are about to ask her if she’s okay, when she says.
“I understand Hoody. You have to do what you have to do. Just…be careful out there will you?”
“Yeah, I will,” you say calmly. “And thanks for understanding.”
"Of course…Although I just wish we could have spent more time together before it was over. Had more talks, gone on more picnics, maybe having an actual…d-d-da…” she starts stuttering and blushing on whatever the last word is.
"Relax, knowing what my life is like I'm sure we'll see each other again. Besides, unlike last time, I’m planning on actually writing to everyling. I think I owe this town that much after my last “Death”" you obliviously interrupt.
Selena facehoofs at this, but says nothing. Fortunately this interruption snaps her out of this and she nervously-rapidly says,
"O-okay! Well... now I have too... bottle the mashed flowers! I'll... try to actually do something to keep the girls from hurting you if we see each other again!"
"Ok, though I don’t plan on putting the Cloak on anytime so-" you say before Fluttershy pulls you into a hug that you're shocked by, but then return.
"See ya Fluttershy."
"See ya Hoody," Fluttershy says, intimately pressing her soft body against yours which feels so go-
NO! BAD BUG! You think as you break the hug.
Not wasting anytime on the awkwardness, You whistle for Mangle, who bounds towards you down the stairs. You catch her and glare at the bunny who stops in his tracks.
“When the lady says no pal, it means NO!”
His ears wilt at that as he sadly looks at Mangle hiding behind your neck.
“He’s right Angel,” Fluttershy says as she places a hoof on his tiny head. “Sometimes you just gotta let them go.”
The bunny looks devastated as he turns and whimpers into Fluttershy’s leg.
You and Fluttershy look each other in the eye, and both nod as you turn around and exit the house.
As you begin walking, you look back at the fox. “You’re just a regular old heart breaker aintcha?”
She rolls her eyes at that and dives into your Inventory.
“Right, so the hard part is over, now to deal with all the others…”
As you walk back into town, you pass by Twilight.
“Good morning Baker.”
“Morning Twi. Say have you seen Flash anywhere?”
“Wh-what? Why would I have seen Flash, heh heh…” she chuckles nervously.
Rolling your eyes you say,
“No, I mean, he hasn’t left yet has he?”
“Oh! No not yet, he’ll leave a bit before dinner tonight. You guys got something planned?” she asks.
“Nothing yet. Anyway Twilight?”
“Yes?”
“Just…Good luck juggling animals.” Her ears wilt at that.
“Ah, it’s supposed to be a secret,” she whines.
Chuckling you say,
“Take it easy Twilight.”
“Yeah, you too.”
You both then head your separate ways.
“Well, I’ll be seeing Applejack tonight, and Rainbow is hard to find zipping all over the place, and Aloe…I’m just not ready for that yet. I think I’ll go stop by Octavia’s, at least then I can get some more info about the horde restarting.”
With that in mind, you head to the musician’s house. As you do you can’t help but wonder how Nightshade’s quest is going.
BrownDog’s Comment
POV Change: Nightshade
Your dad dropped a bombshell on you early this morning. Today is your last day here. You wish you’d had more of a heads up to mentally prepare for this moment, but it is what it is.
“Well if dad is going to be hanging out one last time with his friends, then me and mine will have an epic last day,” you say with resolve.
Unfortunately…
“Sorry Nightshade, Ah gotta study and do my schoolwork today,” Applebloom apologizes.
“What really?” you ask in surprise.
“Yeah,” she says as she scratches the back of her head. “I’ve kind of been putting stuff off, what with the Reunion and Derby Racing and Camping. And since Ms. Cheerilee isn’t my sister in law anymore, she’s less inclined to let things slide.”
“Oh. Well dang that sucks, I was hoping that we could all go do some crusading today.”
“Sorry Nightshade. But hey, tomorrow after school I should be free. And maybe after Supper tonight I won’t be too tired, we could play a board game or something.”
“I…I guess,” you trail off as you won’t have as much time with your friend as you’d hoped.
“Alright then, I’ll see ya at the dinner table then,” she smiles as she puts her nose back in her book causing you to sigh.
You walk up and hug her.
“Um, what’s that for Shade?” she asks confused.
“Well, just in case I don’t see you over dinner, I just wanted to say…Good Bye,” you say in melancholy.
Applebloom just shrugs, smiles and says, “Alright then.” And as she starts studying again, you head out to see your other friends.
“Well it sucks that Applebloom can’t hang out, but hopefully I’ll be able to make do with the others.”
When you arrive at Carousal Boutique, Sweetie Belle gives you a sheepish look.
“Sorry Nightshade, I’m actually helping Rarity make decorations today.”
“Decorations for what?” you ask.
“For when Princess Celestia shows up with the Saddle Arabian Diplomats. She’s even letting me help design some to make up for the whole suitcase thing when we went camping,” she squeeks.
“Oh. Well I guess if you’re too busy…” you trail off.
“Ya, sorry. But I’m sure we’ll have time to hang out tomorrow. After school that is,” she smiles. You return the smile, even though sadness creeps up on you.
“OK then,” you say as you then grasp and hug Sweetie Belle who is all but happy to return it.
“S-See ya around Sweetie,” you say as you break the hug.
“Yeah, see ya around Shade,” she smiles obliviously. You then walk on as she closes to the door to help her sister.
“Oh, why did today have to be the last day? Hopefully Scootaloo isn’t too busy…”
When you arrive at Scootaloo’s, she has the same apologetic look as the other two, making your ears fall.
“Oh, sorry Nightshade but I actually have an appointment with Rainbow Dash today.”
“An appointment?” you ask flabbergasted causing her to nod.
“She’s had this whole weekend and tomorrow off from the Wonderbolts Academy. She’ll be getting here pretty soon, and she promised that now that she’s my Big Sister, she’ll teach me some new moves she’s learned,” she says in excitement as she buzzes her wings.
You think one of the big reasons she idolizes Rainbow is because she thinks Dash is the best chance she has for finally flying.
You ruffle your own wings (Hidden from view via magic) You’ve always wanted to learn to fly, but there just never seemed to be a time or place to learn. So even though it breaks your heart that none of the crusaders can hang out with you today, you decide to let her chase her dream with her new Big Sister.
“Alright. Just...” you choke up. “Just be sure to outpace her once you learn those moves.”
“Oh, I definitely will! I’ll show you and the girls tomorrow after school. It’s gonna be awesome!” she says buzzing her wings.
“Right…After School…” you mutter. You pull her into a hug before she can see your eyes watering.
“Kn-knock em dead Scoots…Later,” you then break the hug and run out her door as she calls back to you,
“Later Shade!”
When her house is out of view, you sniffle back the tears, and wipe away the few that fell.
“This is such Bullspit! Why did Dad decide today was the day? If it had just been one day sooner or later, the girls wouldn’t be busy, or at least could have hung out after school!” you growl as you kick the dirt.
“But no! I gotta say goodbye to my friends without actually saying goodbye. I mean, I want to go back to Appleloosa sure, but at the same time I also want to stay here.” You then sigh trying to calm yourself.
“Relax Nightshade. You knew this wasn’t going to last forever…Even still, I wished it would have been longer.” Sighing once more, you look up to the sky.
“Please Lady Luck, I’ve only got one real friend left in this place, don’t let him be busy too…”
At the Library, you see that Spike has cleaning supplies, and gloves on.
Buck you Lady Luck…you think in sadness.
“Um…are you busy today?” you ask just to get it over with.
He scratches the back of his neck. “Well…Kind of. Twilight’s is being ultra critical on preparations for when the Saddle Arabians arrive with Princess Celestia. She’s even had me reorganize the library. Three times!”
“By yourself?” you ask and he nods with a roll of his eyes.
“Well that stinks!” you groan as he continues cleaning.
“Tell me about it. She’s constantly over at Fluttershy’s practicing for the magical performance she’s going to show them. I don’t know why juggling animals is so important but…” he just shrugs in complacency.
“So…You can’t come out and play?” you ask feeling immense hurt. Spike is one of your bestest, closest, and toughest friends. The thought of not being able to hang out with him or any of the girls shatters your heart.
He looks at you and your downcast face. “I’m sorry Nightshade, I really want to but…well you know how things go,” he says gesturing to the library causing you to nod.
“Right…” you choke back a sob. “Well if you’re busy I’ll just get out of your way,” you say as you trudge towards the door.
“Hey Nightshade, wait. Are you OK?” he asks seeing your slumped form.
You pause and look back at him, trying not to let the sadness show in your eyes.
“Ya, sure. I’m fine,” you lie and he picks up on it as he walks over to you.
“No really, what’s wrong?” he asks.
You sigh and look at him.
“I’m just tired Spike. I’m so tired of running.”
“You’ve been running today?” he asks in obliviousness.
“I’ve been running for a long time,” you answer back as you think on your life.
“Oh, do you need some water or something?” he offers and you wave him off.
“No, I’m fine. I’m just gonna…go home,” you admit the truth.
“Well alright then,” he says accepting your answer. “Be sure to take it easy.”
Just like your other friends, you pull him into a sudden hug.
“Oh, heh heh, what’s this for?” he stammers, his cheeks darkening.
“I don’t need a reason to hug my friend do I?” you ask.
“I-I guess not,” he says returning the hug.
Nodding you give him a squeeze and say,
“Goodbye Spike…”
“Goodbye Nightshade. I’ll see you later.”
No…you won’t…you think sadly as you leave the library. After walking out of view of the Treebary, your emotions get the better of you.
“It’s not fair. It’s just not fair,” you whimper as you hang your head and sluggishly walk through the town.
Why? Why couldn’t Ponyville have been our home? Why couldn’t it have been as friendly and welcoming to Daddy like Appleloosa was? Why couldn’t we have stopped running here? You lament. You then grit your teeth as you know the reason.
“Trixie…” you seethe, your eyes faintly glowing.
If she hadn’t been such a traitorous b!#$%, Daddy wouldn’t have been thrown in jail, and that giant bear wouldn’t have attacked and he wouldn’t have freaked out thinking I was dead! Noling would have been hurt, and we wouldn’t have had to run and hide anymore! If she had just been good, if she had just been our friend, MAYBE she could have helped the others see that Daddy wasn’t a monster. MAYBE we could have stopped running, and MAYBE we could have lived here happily…but no. We’ll never know…All because She wanted her Gorramned Money!
You kick the dirt in front of you again, accidentally creating a sizeable pot hole thanks to your anger. Your tears fall into the hole as the emotions finally hit you all at once, but you stifle the tears. You don’t want some random passerbys asking you questions.
You sigh again as you look at the hole, before smoothing it over with your bending.
“We’ve been running ever since I was born. Just once I’d like to stop and just live…” you then move on, taking in the town one last time. Really, all you want to do is go into the Inventory and curl up on your bed just like old times. That way, the outside world can’t hurt you anymore.
The day is halfway done, and it’s only served to break your heart. In looking for your dad, you see Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon in the distance and you still your sad heart.
Well, if Lady Luck is gonna screw with me, then I’m sure as heck gonna settle some wrongs before I leave, you think as you trot over to them.
If you can at least right a wrong then perhaps it will all be worth it. You will yourself to put a smile on your face as you near them.

"Hey, you two!" You greet.
They look your way before smiling and waving.
"What's up, Nightshade?" Silver Spoon asks.
"Nothing much... How about you?"
“Same, just kind of walking,” Diamond answers.
"We don't really have anything to do." Silver adds.
“Really. Absolutely nothing?” you ask.
"Well, we might go back to my house while Mom is at the Spa and swim or something. We're not sure yet.”
“But we are getting hungry, so we’re leaning that way,” Silver adds.
"Oh, alright then." You give a sad smile.
"Is... anything wrong?" Diamond asks you as she notices the shift on your face.
"Oh! Uh... no, something's just on my mind." You say sheepishly. "Anyway, I…well, I just wanted to apologize again for all the fights we had in the past."
Both fillies share a confused look with you.
"Well, we're sorry too, but didn't we already apologize to each other?" Silver asks you.
“Yeah, like a lot actually?” Diamond asks.
"Yeah, I know that, but.... I just want you to know that whatever happens, I don't dislike or hate you guys at all. And I hope that…we could be real friends. I know it's been awkward these last few weeks…" You scratch the back of your head at that.
"You can say that again..." Silver whispers to herself. She then looks to your shrinking form and says in a hesitant voice, "Do…do you want come with us to Dia's house? We could play games and stuff, just the three of us.”
“R-really?” you ask.
Diamond seems to like this idea as she smiles brightly at you.
“Of course, I got a big house, we could do all sorts of stuff. Plus you always have interesting ideas.”
You look at their smiling faces, actual genuine smiles. It suits them much better than the sneers from the past.
But would you like to spend your last day in Ponyville with the ones whom you had the most conflict with in the past?
Well it’s a heck of a lot better than being alone, you think in resolve. Your face then brightens with genuine glee.
"Okay! I'm down to hang out today! The Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike are all busy anyways... not that I'm only hanging out with you two because there's no one else..." You ensure.
They giggle. "No offense taken Shade," Both of them reply.
Th-they called me by my nickname... You smile and happily bounce over to them.
Maybe you were wrong, maybe you did have more than just four real friends, even if you only realized it on the last day. But you’ll make the day count.
POV Change: Bugze
Kersey’s Comment
After getting lost a few times as usual, you finally find Octavia and Vinyl’s house... which is half purple and half brown?
Shrugging at this unorthodox color pattern you knock on the door a few times.
"Coming." you hear Octavia say before she opens the door.
"Hi Octavia. You got a minute?" you say as you hand her one of the bouquet of flowers. She visibly flusters, clearly not expecting that.
"M-Mr. Tennant?" she questions you with a blush.
“Yes?” you ask.
“I um…you’ve given me flowers…” she stammers.
“Uh huh. Oh, and is Vinyl home too?” you ask taking out another bouquet which causes her eyes to widen a bit.
"Wh- I mean no, she's out buying more liquor." she responds, deflating a bit. "Come in."
“Alright then,” you say as you trot inside, which is also split down the middle with different décor.
“Right, well…” Octavia stammers as she holds her bouquet of flowers.“Was there something you wished to talk about Mr. Tennant?”
“Well kind of. I heard via Bon Bon that you were thinking of starting the Horde back up.”
Her eyes widen at this, “Oh Darn it Lyra!” she yells into the kitchen.
“What’d I do?” comes the voice of said mare as she walks out of the kitchen, surprising you.
“I told you not to tell anypony about business unless we all discussed it first!”
“I didn’t tell anypony though. Oh, hey Mr. Tennant,” she smiles at you.
“Sup?” you respond.
“Anypony INCLUDES Bon Bon!” Octavia interrupts your greeting.
“Oh…well you should have specified,” Lyra responds haughtily causing Octavia to facehoof.
“What? You didn’t complain when I brought the dragon into the fold,” Lyra defends.
“Honk Honk!” comes the voice of Crackle who walks out of the living room, causing you to jump a bit.
“Because Ms. Crackle knows and respects HIM! What if somepony else besides Mr. Tennant caught wind?”
“Oh relax, it’s all cool. Minuette was cool about it, and she says that Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts are open to joining.”
“Honk Honk!” Crackle adds.
“That is besides the point Ms. Heartstrings. Because of those Knight scoundrels, we have to be more careful and…”
As the mares continue to argue, seemingly ignoring you, you think,
Well, clearly they’re trying to start it up again, though their numbers seem small. Hopefully I can get them to stop arguing and learn more. I still got to speak with my other three stalkers, and hang with Flash before he leaves, so hopefully this doesn’t take too long. The day is far from over.
You then clear your throat causing the mares and the dragon to stop speaking and look to you.
“Yes Mr. Tennant?” Octavia asks civilly as if she wasn’t just arguing.
What Do You Do?
Outro Theme:
You could comment if you wanted, doesn't really matter to me. It would be nice to see what you specifically add to chapters anyways.
30 minutes before Celestia arrives, you (Bugze) see the mane 6 arrive to give you a final send-off, with presents. Twilight gives you a book: 1001 ways to use duct tape. Rarity gives you a fashionable Top Hat. Pinkie gives you a box with a surprise (there is a Surprise pony figure in the box). Fluttershy gives you a Jumbo bag of dog food. Applejack and Rainbow Dash even kiss you (with AJ using tounge). As you say your goodbyes, your outfit is removed by lucky (in the bad way) 'happenstance' involving Derpy dropping a box for Flash Sentry on you. Inside the box were some of the modified parasprites! They eat your clothes (but won't go near The Inventory), causing you to be revealed to the ponies (The flower trio get nosebleeds). Just as soon as you thanked Luna for planning ahead with the Pony transformation, it fails. Fortunately, the Mane 6 (besides the ones who know) believe you to be an imposter, meaning the Baker Identity is still good. Unfortunately, you are now a changeling in the middle of town surrounded by Mares who really liked Baker and (mostly) think you foalnapped him ("I kissed that?" Rainbow exclaims in disgust. "Ah' licked his tonsils!" cried AJ, drawing some shocked looks from everypony) and took his place. Also, if you don't hurry, Celestia will arrive, making your chances of escape very, very low.
Very nice 1st chapter you will do the hive mind proud. I agree with the pony spartan it would not bother me if you comment still
P.O.W Nightshade
As Nightshade walk to Diamond Tiara house, she noticed a stall near the way with a pink filly selling juice. Normally she didn't notice her but because she was not hanging with Diamond Tiara, she noticed her as her other friends are busy and maybe in a future Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are busy.
"Ey, she is in our class, right?" Ask Nightshade pointing to the filly
"What? Oh, yes... Her... Maybe it could not be a good idea, if the rumors I hear is true" Comment Diamond Tiara
"Rumor?" Ask Nightshade confused
"Yeah... She is Ruby Pinch, but many times I catch Miss Cherilee talking with her about the fruit juice she sell, not sure why, I didn't try it but I don't know what is bad in juice" Comment Diamond Tiara
Nightshade look at Ruby and noticed how she seems to stay a little strange, maybe if she returned to Ponyville in the future could she meet her and try the fruit juice.
As they continue to walk, Diamond Tiara continue telling her the rumors of the other school fillies.
"Then, there is Dinky, you know, grey unicorn, her mother is that pegasus with crossed eyes, Derpy or Ditzy, no one is sure, some thinks that Dinky is the mature one in the family even if she have too much imagination" Say Diamond Tiara
"Imagination?" Ask Nightshade
"Yeah... She can't stop about aliens, somepony called "the doctor" a strange ship called TARDIS, and something called Daleks, who knows what it is..." Say Diamond Tiara
"Maybe is a story? You know, I heard that her Daddy is a writer and travel around Equestria searching for inspiration and monster hunting" Say Silver Spoon
"Really? That is strange... Even more strange that the rumor that she have two hearts somehow and a strange device" Say Diamond Tiara
Meanwhile Nightshade was making notes in her head to tell her daddy, she didn't think anything bad of the couple of times she meet Derpy, even if she was not really a friend of Dinky, but she knew that her Daddy was still very angry with The Doctor.
"And what about us?" Ask Nightshade
"About us?" Ask Diamond Tiara
"Yeah, is there any rumor about me or the other crusaders?" Ask Nightshade again
"Ummm.... Well, they don't say too much, they think you are a strange filly, always dressed, and there is not too much help with the strange things of your daddy... I'm sorry Nightshade" Say Diamond Tiara
"Well, I know about a very strange rumor... It seems the friend of a friend was in a concert of Saphire Shoes and Da Colts... And you could never guess what happened" Say Silver Spoon
Suddenly a Flashback come to Nightshade
"Umm... What happened?" Ask Nightshade
"Well, many rumors say that the hooded offender kidnapped Saphire Shoes, and there was a strange rumor of a black filly making a great show" Say Silver Spoon
"Oh, um, really? But surely that is past news" Say Nightshade
"Oh, not at all, it seems there are rumors that she is a fourth alicorn, it seems that some producers tried to catch her but managed to fool them and escape putting some filly that was similar, but when they tried to make her sing, it could not be compared, now they are still searching for her, wanting to make her the new Saphire Shoes" Say Silver Spoon
"Ohhh... Ummm, what about the others?" Say Nightshade as she begin to feel uncomfortable with the talk and didn't want her friends to guess it was her.
"Well, not soo much about Sweetie Belle except that many colts are after her just like Rarity, there is also the rumor that she is trying to take Spike away from you, but many others think your love for him could conquer any problem" Say Diamond Tiara
"Spike is mine, you got it? Even if I'm not here, he is mine!" Say Nightshade as her eyes got white for a second scaring the filly, when she notice it, she shock the head
"Sorry... I'm a little possesive..." Say Nightshade
"Yeah, well... Then, there is Scootaloo, not much to say, someponies think she is a orphan that live alone in some wrecked home, others think she live in a abusive home, or that managed to flee from a orphanage, that she come from a laboratory as a clone of Rainbow Dash, or that she is the secret daughter of Rainbow Dash. Not sure how true are any of those rumors really" Say Diamond Tiara
Nightshade begin to think about the rumors and how she did not meet the family of Scootaloo or even visited her home but decided that it was mainly because she was busy most of the time.
"Then, there is Apple Bloom, and believe me, you don't want to hear the rumors they say about her and what happen in her barn... Well, almost every rumors, the only good rumor is that every week they make a ring and play wrestling to decide the chores" Comment Diamond Tiara
Nightshade began to think that she discovered a side from her friends that she never tought they did have.
----------------
I think it could be great if you still comment
A rumor post, mainly it was a idea that I did have after reading how the crusaders could not play with Nightshade and thinking of the other fillies around ponyville, and decided to give them some attention with the rumor post.
Any guess about what could be the problem in the "Fruit Juice"?
Am I the only one who wants to know what-in-the-hell happend to shadow bugze? you know this asshat from the end of season 2? with the light blue text? Did he just, disappear when Nightmare Bugze died?
7967032 He died protecting Bugze from the Nightmare's Infinite Punch that took out the Daleks.
To answer the question, Yes I think you should continue to comment. Even if you know how everything should theoretically go, your comments can help to play off another's words or to help nudge the story along to the next plot point. That said, I hope that DWC also will comment along with us for much of the same reason.
After you left the musical mares' house (Vinyl coming in with a bottle of Jack Spaniels half empty along with some other alcohol) you realize that you have not eaten in a while.
Bugze: "Well, I guess I can go visit Pinkie now, grab a snack, and say goodbye all at once."
With that, you head towards Sugar Cube Corner.
(Who knows if Bugze will run into anyone along the way)
AT SUGAR CUBE CORNER
As you enter the bakery, Pinkie looks up smiling.
Pinkie: "Hiya BST!"
Bugze: "Hi Pinkie. Can a get a bakers dozen of your chocolate cupcakes and a bakers dozen of your blueberry muffins?"
Pinkie: *giggling* "Sure thing. Somepony's a bit hungry today huh?"
Bugze: *Chuckling* "Well you now how Nightshade and I can get. I just figured that I would try to nip that in the bud before tomorrow comes."
Pinkie gives you a frown before her eyes widen.
Pinkie: "Oh so it is you and Nightshade that are leaving tomorrow huh?"
Bugze: "I have no idea what you're talking about. Hehehe"
Pinkie: "My Pinkie Sense told me that a friend was going to leave soon. I kind of figured that it was Flash Sentry, but now that I think about it you would make more sense because we all knew Flash had to go back to work in Canterlot soon."
Bugze: "Well please don't tell anyone. It is hard enough saying goodbye without all of them finding out. I hate that I have to leave, but if I don't then I just know something bad is going to happen."
Pinkie: "Don't worry. *She starts crossing her hoof across her chest* I Pinkie Promise I won't tell anypony. But what do you plan to do now? Just wander around and say goodbye to your friends if you randomly bump into them? You could miss somepony and that would be terrible!"
Bugze: "I know and that is the last thing I want to do. I also know that Nightshade does not want to say goodbye to her friends either and I feel like an awful father for making her leave, but if we don't, I am afraid what will happen. Is there anything you can think of to help make this last day a good memory for us and all our friends."
Pinkie sits on her flank as she starts to hold her head (think this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5R8XHrfJkeg).
Pinkie: "Think. Think. Think. I got it!"
Bugze: "What? What is it?"
Pinkie: "I know just what to get my sisters for Hearth Warming!"
Bugze: *facehoofs* "Pinkie, how does that help my daughter and I's situation?"
Pinkie: "Well that does not help you two, but I already figured that out too. Why not throw a goodbye party?"
Bugze: "What part of not telling everyone I'm leaving did you forget? I can't do that!"
Pinkie (Smirking): "But what if you threw one for your good buddy who leaves tonight? Then you could get everypony together to wish him farewell and, as the host, you get to greet everypony and say goodbye when they leave? And since I would invite everypony, including all of Nightshade's friends, you and her would get to see everypony. It is a win-win! You both get to say 'Goodbye' and I get to throw a party inside another party. PARTY-CEPTION!"
Bugze: "Actually that sounds perfect! Can you do all that with so little time?"
Pinkie: "Of course Silly-Bean! I have thrown town wide parties in just a scene change."
Bugze: "Um...OK? *Shaking your head* How much would that cost to fund the party?"
Pinkie: "Hmmm...In this case I think 30 bits will cover everything, including the 26 cupcakes and muffins you just ordered. It is a part of my 'Secret Friend Party Planning' deal (or SFPP) I have. Usually the only way anypony finds out about the SFPP is if they order something from it and I tell them. Just like I told you. And sense you now know about it, take this for the next time you want to throw a party."
Bugze: "Um thanks Pinkie."
SECRET FRIEND PARTY PLANNING BROCHURE ADDED TO INVENTORY
You go ahead and pay for the party and baked goods (470 bits remaining)
Bugze: "Since you are taking care of all this, is there anything you need me to do?"
Pinkie: "Just have you and Nightshade here two hours before sunset. The party will start about 30 minutes later and Flash will have around 2 hours before he has to leave to get ready to go."
Bugze: "OK. I think I can do that. Let's see considering it is lunchtime now, I should have about four hours before I need to be here. I do still plan to try to find some other ponies before that, and I need to let Nightshade know, but this should be manageable. Thank you so much Pinkie. I really do appreciate it."
You give Pinkie a big hug, surprising her before she returns it.
Pinkie: "No problem BST. Anything for a good friend."
You leave the bakery in much higher spirits than you left. Now you just need to find a few ponies to deliver bouquets to before the party. Now where to next?
Yuuup!
Um, yes! You are the guy who originally wrote this series. Why should that change?
Also, Bugze tries desperately to get Lyra, Bon Bon, and the other ponies involved to not start up the Horde again, or at the very, very least, to keep it quiet, with only those who can keep a secret allowed back inside (the second result being my preferred outcome).
May God go with you
We should decide a difficult path for Bugze.
As the Hive Mind, who repeatedly made our friendly changeling struggle through life, it is our hard decision to make.
Now... will Bugze remember to visit Zecora this time. Or will he get another smacking vengeance the next time he sees her.
Of course you should comment. You were half of the reason I read the comments.
"Uh... Nightshade, are you okay?" Diamond or Silver asks (don't know who this would fit better, feel free to tweak)
"I-I'm fine! Why do you ask?!" Nightshade responds defensively,
"You just gobbled down an entire table of hors d'oeuvres."
"I always eat alot." Nightshade responds.
"But that's your fifth table!"
Nightshade comments/mutters the food's not as fancy as "Eggsy's Exorbance" in Vanhoover
================
ONE CLOSE MASSAGE AND A NEAR CATFIGHT LATER
"Luna, time sure flies by in this town." you say to yourself.
I concur, although time does feel like its skipping forward a bit.
"Yeah, it's like my life is some story written by a hack who has no idea how to properly use a time skip-" *pow* "Why did I do that?!" you say after punching yourself in the face for no reason.
Shrugging that off, you think how thankful you were that Lotus was there to rein in/restrain her sister Aloe before she could show you how... appreciative she was for the flowers and you had to use the Royal Canterlot Voice to keep a catfight from breaking out between Applejack and Rainbow Dash. You're wondering what to do next when,
Get her some frozen milk treats. SOmbra druggedly pipes in.
What is he babbling about THIS time? you mentally ask Selena in annoyance.
The sweet frozen milk in those waffle cones you- *zap* Ow! Sombra butts in before Selena could respond causing her to zap him.
Sweet frozen milk in waf- Wait, you mean ice cream cones?
Since when have you been concerned about our child's well being? Selena demands.
Even a drugged-up ruler of crystal-y shadows like me knows that the young overlord will be sad at having to leave her friends! I should know...
================
Twilight notice Flash's medicine ("prescribed" by Quacksalver) and uses a quick library-teleport to realize those were expired/banned medications that negatively effect the brain and thus explaining Flash's species-ist outbursts.
Flash (and Twilight) are relieved that Flash's species-ist outbursts are NOT his fault.
Time for the author to become the commenter!!!
....
Now if only I had more then just this to add, but eh I'm dry on ideas.
Anyway,
In the middle of the argument between either Octavia and Lyra over what 'secret' means or when Bugze tries to tone done Octi's need for the group have Vinyl walk in, take one look at the situation, before she wisely begins to walk backwards while continuingly saying 'nope' till she leaves
7973449
Wait... is this DWC or Browndog? XD
7973720 That's DWC, I still use my own profile
You take some time to talk to Derpy.
“Derpy, I just wanted you to know that…well, if I ever see the Doctor again, I’ll give him a piece of my mind.”
She looks conflicted at that.
“You don’t have to go out of your way for that Bugze,”
“The heck I don’t, especially after what he’s done to you. I owe you so much, and I will call him out for it.”
“No, don’t,” she implores. “No matter how things ended I just…I just want you to let him know that I understand. That I can accept his decision, and that I miss him.” she says hollowly causing you to frown.
Even after all this, she still cares about the guy that broke her heart?
Love is a fickle thing, and often contradictory. I came about because of that traitor’s wish and hatred for it, Selena philosophizes.
Right…but still, it’s wrong seeing her unhappy. I guess I could help with that.
You then take one of the boxes of muffins Nightshade didn’t want and hand it to Derpy who’s eyes light up at that.
“Oh wow, thank you Bugze,” she says and hugs you.
“My pleasure. Enjoy yourself and be happy,” you say patting her back.
After this exchange, you walk over to Flash who is speaking with, (who else?) Twilight.
“Now, when you get back to Canterlot, I want you to tell Shining about the prescription mix up OK?” Twilight lectures Flash.
“Twilight, Twilight, I get it,” he says with a good natured chuckle causing her to smile.
“Just checking,” she giggles.
Getting in-between this moment, you rush up and give him a manly hug, which is like a normal hug, only manlier.
“I’ll see you around Flash, you take care now ya hear?”
“Yeah, you too buddy. This time, for the love of Celestia, write and keep in touch,” he says thumping your back.
“Already planned on it,” you say truthfully.
Time for us to send Fluts and Bugs on a date alright spam whatever they shipped name of Fluttershy and Buggsy is.
