I sigh as I sat in my home, drinking the human vial. I tap my fingers on the sofa, throwing the vial into a trash can. I watch the television, seeing all the crimes everyone has committed today. I'm taking a holiday break for a week, everyone is. Bullet Count is going away to a resort. I on the other hand, am just going to spend time watching the news, have a couple of dates with Rainbow Dash, and chill. Bullet Count was the first to suggest a vacation as I was getting pissed off at some papers. He also gave me some card to see a therapist, saying I wasn't my usual self recently. I call bullcrap on that. I'm still me. I start having a train of thought as I watched TV. I'm not different than when I started was I? I'm still the lovable human of Equestria. Mostly. My mind started thinking about the explosion, when I had killed hundreds and hundreds of ponies. There were three hundred and ninety two injuries, and four hundred and thirty six deaths. I didn't know this until after I got out of prison. I didn't know how many innocent ponies died because of my action. No one was supposed to be hurt if they're not a part of this. It's okay if they are really bad, but if they had no idea what's going on...

Rainbow Dash enters my apartment at about two thirty in the morning, hoping to give me a surprise gift. She saw me sleeping on the sofa, my head rolled back and my legs across. She smirked to herself and placed the gift on my coffee table. She looks at me before going into my kitchen to steal one of my chocolate muffins I usually guard with my life with. As she took some steps, my eyes crack open to see if the intruder was there. In my mind, I have no idea who just broke in. I silently grabbed a magnum I keep under one of my pillows. It's too dark as the television turned off automatically when Rainbow went to the kitchen. I silently loaded in one bullet and kept two in my pocket. I got up and swerved around with my gun. "Get down, now," I say darkly. I cock my gun to make my point. Rainbow freezes with the muffin in her mouth and shoots her hooves into the air. "... Rainbow? God damn you scared me!" I yell. She turns around, slowly nibbling the muffin. "What were you thinking entering my apartment without me knowing!?" I ask loudly. Rainbow winces at the unexpected noise level.

"i just wanted to get you a gift," she mutters.

"What gift?" I ask. She points to the box on my table, and I walked over. I open the brown cardboard box to find a golden ticket. "A ticket?" I ask. Rainbow slowly walks over.

"N-no, a ticket to the gala," she corrects. I sighed again. I aim at my pillow and shot. Thankfully, one of my workers gave me an enchanted gun that doesn't make a noise, and it silences everything else. Once it completely stops, it dissapears. Rainbow looks down in shame after she took in what I said. "Sorry I scared you, I wanted this to be a surprise," she mutters. I put a hand on her head, ruffling her hair.

"It's okay, but don't do that again next time okay?" I ask.

The music in the air was at a fast pace since Pinkie was literally directing them. Twilight was having a nice, pleasant conversation with Celestia. Rarity was handing out ads for her boutiques and 'helping' Applejack decorate her wagon. Applejack would take all the decorations off and throw them away. I was accompanying Rainbow Dash as we were meeting all of the Wonderbolts.

"So you're the human huh?" Spitfire asks. I nod with a lazy smile.

"Yeah, I'm also Rainbow's date," I say. Rainbow blushes as everyone smirks.

"Got any fire power at your place? Like pistols or anything?" Spitfire asks. I raise an eyebrow.

"Why you wanna know?" I ask warily. She gets taken back by my attitude, and clears her throat.

"I heard you were a g-good shot," she said. I smirk and nod. I drop it and grimaced.

"Whoever told you is gonna pay," I say darkly, trying not to laugh. Spitfire's face loses all color as the Wonderbolts start getting nervous. I start laughing uncontrollably. "I'm just screwing with you, yeah I'm pretty good, I've never missed with a pistol. Sniper rifle on the other hand, I'm good with, but don't worry, I'll never aim at your head," I say jokingly/seriously while chuckling. Spitfire lets out a sigh of relief. Rainbow smiles.

"He gotcha," she said. The party kept going, and I decided to go get some air. I walk out onto a balcony, feeling the breeze rush past me. There were a few ponies walking around too. I sigh as I kept still, hearing everything going on around me. I get spun around by a magical aura to meet somepony's eyes right up to my face.

"I see all! And I see that you do not belong here!" She said.

"Really? What gave that away?" I ask sarcastically.

"The forces tell me everything! You are not a good man," she continued. I twitch a little in my right eye.

"What do you mean miss? I just do some computer work here and there, nothing evil," I counter. The mare shakes her head.

"Lies! Everyday you pull out the tube that spits metal! You have the accuracy of a mastered bow stallion! You fire your weapon with precision and silence! Only to gain riches of evil!" The mare screams, causing a really bad scene. Ponies are walking over to see what the commotion is. Including Rainbow Dash.

"I don't know what you mean, if you'll excuse me-" I was cut off by the mare freezing me, and grabs the secret gun from my back and aims at me.

"You are a dangerous monster! You have killed thousands without caring or even shedding regret! The only regret you have is the building!" She screams, shakily holding the gun. She lets go of me and I keep my hands in the air.

"Careful, you don't want to make me angry, besides I don't know what you're talking about!" I yell back. She shakes her head.

"Imbecile! You still deny the forces?!"

"Yes I do," I say. I quickly rushed forward, slapping the gun out of the magical grip, surprising the mare. I used my left hand to punch her, and grabbed her head. I slammed it down and into my knee, knocking her into what I think will be a comma. I back away slowly, seeing the frightened faces of many. I grab my gun from the floor, making sure it's unscathed and look at Rainbow. Her face is full of fear, and shock.

I sighed as I was walking back to the train to Manehatten, alone. Rainbow said she had to be off, something about a cutie map. I know it wasn't true, but I let her go anyway. I sighed again, realizing I need to breathe a little. I know what Rainbow wants to ask me, and I'm not prepared for it.

"Who are you really?"
