What Came Before and Beyond
Hello Mr. Journal, this is the first time I will be writing in your pages, and very likely the last as well. Well, I guess you're not really mine to write in, are you? I hope you're not too angry about it, since I'm not really supposed to write in you. You already have two people that write in you after all.
It's already been five months since he's come here hasn't it? So much has changed, and most of it not for the better. It wasn't at all like the time Twilight moved and settled here, I don't think I can honestly say that I prefer it to be like this compared to how it was before.
Meeting a new friend shouldn't be this painful...
It was very surprising to see Fluttershy open up to him first, the meekest, and the weakest among us. She really is kind, more than I ever thought anypony could be. It gave me hope, Fluttershy that is. That the most timid among us wasn't only the first to stick a hoof out in friendship; but she was also the one that believed with all of who she was, and kept on believing, even when so many other ponies had given up.
She still does, I'm sure of it.
I'm not as strong as her.
I keep thinking how it could've been different.
How if I did something in the beginning, nopony would've had to have been hurt.
I don't want anypony to fight anymore.
To hate each other.
To look into each others eyes and wonder if they're somepony they should hug or pretend to hug.
All of you are my most precious friends. I love all of you, so please stop fighting.
Pinkie please, I won't ask for a promise
