After the failed Changeling invasion, drastic measures were taken to insure the survival of the Hive. Many Changelings died at the hooves of their own in a desperate gambit for survival. Several of the Changelings marked for death escaped. One such Changeling is Trouble. Making his way into the outside world, he is faced with Post-Invasion Equestria, a world hostile to all Changelings. He struggles to survive, this is his story.

The stages of grief are hard to go through. Some never really get over the loss of a loved one. Rarity hates herself for letting him go, for not saying yes. A life time of regret swallows what is left of her sanity. And in a moment of weakness, she succumbs to the desire to join him.

A reminder of a time when people couldn't love the ones they cared about because society said it was wrong. A battle that still rages to this day.
