Last Night
The invasion is over. The Changelings are gone. Everypony's alright. A mare recalls the day with a smile that she knows must stay on her face - because if it's not, she must remember that Tendercare never came home.
In the hours after the Changelings were repelled, the Royal Guard managed to conduct an emergency census to assure the safety of both the city and its citizens. As more information comes to light, celebrations and reunions become the tale of the day as it is found that there were no fatalities despite the attack.
Nopony died. Everypony's alright.
Truelove can't stop smiling. She simply can't.
If she stopped smiling, she'd have to face the fact that her Tendercare isn't on a business trip.
She dearly wants to forget that he was never in the census to begin with.
