What a Foal Always Needs

Princess Celestia comes in after an hour and stands where she did when she was receiving the information she deliberated over.

"Alright.  I have reached a verdict to which all should be aware of.  I find the defendant of this case guilty."  With Princess Celestia's words, Power's eyes shrink as she continues on.  By the end of it, he's on the verge of tears.  "I may be aware that what you have intended, High Glow, is perfectly understandable, but what really influenced my verdict was that lightning bolt you mentioned.  Home Care was right about some of the accidents potentially resulting in serious injuries.  I hope you understand my decision."

Now, Power and High hug each other in sadness that they have to part ways by law.  High just sighs afterwards, still misty eyed.  "I understand."

"Oh, Power.  I'm so sorry about this all.  If nopony said anything about those accidents, you'd still be under my care."

"High... no... this shouldn't be happening!"  Power bursts into tears upon High's shoulder, hugging him in the process.

"I tried to tell her life will always be worse if you're not under my care, but nopony in town ever listens.  And because of that, I've lost you."  High starts crying himself hugging Power back.  "No matter what happens, I'll always miss you."

"I don't want to go into foster care!!!"

"I wish you didn't have to.  I just hope you can handle your self."

"Power, are you ready?"

Looking up, a comforting on the surface Celestia appears in front of Power, who just tears up even more.

"No..."  And off Power runs out of the castle leaving a trail of tears behind.

"Power..."  High sniffles and looks down on the floor, closing his eyes.

Power just runs, with no destination in mind.  His only thought is to run.  Run away from Canterlot and Detrot.  He'll even fly if he has to.  At the edge of the city, which he reaches, he does so.  If losing the care of his brother didn't break his heart, he didn't know what would.

After an hour or so, Power gets pelted with leaves and branches and gets stuck.  He sighs.  It's a good thing for him he won't be going where he doesn't want to go.
