Is it better to live a lie, or die a truth.

A single, tear-stained note meets your gaze. Where's your third crusader?

Do we all know the mail mare. Do we know the cards dealt to Ditzy Hooves, fellow child of a line lost to time. Her story is wistful and bittersweet. Meadows wash with bathing light, but, in darkest night, she remembers how she became her own tragedy. She yearns long-gone lullabies and simpler, childish times blowing bubbles in the breeze. A wash of sour eyes to show the soul where happiness lies.

[Takes place in the Bubblegum Universe.]

This story is a sequel to Where The Bubbles Go

Scootaloo, the local loner, goes about her day like any other. She gets ready. She combs her hair. And she flies like nopony's business. One, meadow-filled morning, however, she realizes Equestria is a vast and empty winter. Innocence wanes and Scootaloo learns why angels deserve to die.

Among loss, young Jack Woodshift laments the loss of both his parents and hope for life. One, bitter night, he reminisces the various joys he's lost in life, only to compare it to a recent fanfiction. Jaded, dazed and losing purpose in daily existence, he takes a walk. Snow beneath his feet, he recollects the various ways he used to smile, only to find it near-impossible. Jack observes a tragic keepsake from someone long ago, wishing sarcastically for an impossible 'pony-meets-human' scenario. Little does he know that maybe, just maybe, life isn't all cynicism and grey.
