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.

[Takes place in the Bubblegum Universe.]
