Lavender Lies

by IvoryBreeze

Deja vu

Shining Armor unpacked his things in the guest bedroom of the familiar stallions house. Shining laid in bed taking a moment.

"This blanket smells like the perfume Cadence wears."

Shining Armor thought to himself. This made him depressed. He dragged himself out of bed and stumbled to the washing machine. After wrapping his head around how the washing machine works he tip toed through the living room and noticed a letter on the coffee table.

"The handwriting looks like Cadences, why does everything remind me of her?"

Shining held in his tears while finding another blanket.

Shining sobbed in bed about everything he lost.

The next morning Shining Armor woke up to the smell of pancakes and strawberries. Princess Cadences favorite.

"Why is everything so familiar?"

Shining thought to himself yet again.

Shining Armor stumbled into the kitchen unkempt as always.

"Morning Buddy!"

The Purple stallion said.

Shining gave a meek reply and stared at the floor awkwardly.

"So want some pancakes?"

The purple stallion asked.

"Yes, of course."

Shining Armor said.

Shining and the middle aged purple stallion sat together eating breakfast.

"Has something been bothering you?"

The purple stallion asked almost passive aggressively.

"It's just, everything reminds me of my wife that cheated on me."

Shining Armor replied.

The purple stallion looked shocked and guilty.

"I'm sorry that happened to you, it must be hard."

Shining continued staring at the floor.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

The purple stallion asked.

"It's alright"

Shining Armor replied before heading back to his room; except this time he took the familiar letter with him.

Shining opened the letter that looked so familiar to his wife's out of curiosity and started to read it. He gasped out loud in shock. The letter read:

Dear Firelight, I'll be back in Sires Hallow soon. I really miss you. My husband still hasn't noticed much. He's been working late as always while I take care of the baby. Don't worry though. I'm leaving him soon because I learned the hard way not to stay with someone for money or because you two were high school sweethearts. Then me and you can be together and raise our baby together and live happily ever after. Then we will get the simple life we deserve. Away from crystal ponies expectations and royal duties and that exhausting yet boring life. Love, Cadence

Shining Armor couldn't believe his eyes. The purple stallion was Firelight! The one that Princess Cadence had been cheating on him for.
