Unknown Location

Connor was now hanging upside down from a chandelier in a place that seemed to be a Japanese or Chinese restaurant. He then said, "Oh my head. What the hell happened last night."

Some waiter then walked under Connor and said, "I'll tell you what you did you drunk idiot. You and your rainbow pony friend went and ate all of our food and wrecked everything without paying. We couldn't find her but luckily you passed out right on our chandelier. Now you have to pay up for all of the damages you've done."

"Where am I anyway?", said Connor.

"Wait a minute, you've never heard of one of the most famous Japonese restaurants in Equestrian, the one that's called the Lotus Buffet?", asked the waiter.

"Nope. Never heard of it. I must of got wasted last night.", answered Connor.

"Even though you were drunk, you still have to pay.", said the waiter.

"Fuck that shit, I'm out of here.", thought Connor before teleporting away.

When the waiter noticed Connor was gone, he shouted, "You son of a horse!"

Ponyville

When Connor got to Ponyville, the streets weren't as busy as yesterday. Connor then started walking towards Rarity's shop. When he got there, he noticed that this placed looked like some sort of carousel. He wondered how Rarity pulled this design off. He then knocked on the door.

Rarity then answered and said, "Good morning Connor, what have you been up to on a gorgeous day like this?"

"Well I am just recovering from a hangover. I have a question, did I do anything in Ponyville last night?", said Connor.

"Not at all but you and Rainbow Dash were acting a bit strange. Rainbow did say that you and her were going to have some fun in Canterlot . Wait a minute, you had a drinking contest with her didn't you?", said Rarity.

"Yup and we both got wasted and I still can't find Rainbow Dash. Mind if I visit for a minute?", said Connor.

"I don't mind at the slightest. I do think you need a change of clothes and that scarf definitely has to go.", said Rarity as they were both walking inside.

Connor then closed the door and said with an intimidating look, "Don't. Touch. The scarf."

"But that scarf is simply dreadful. Couldn't you wear another scarf or something else?", asked Rarity.

"No and I'll never take this off. This was given to me by someone who I loved very much.", answered Connor.

"Why didn't you say so before. Oh I just can't wait to meet them. Who are they and where are they?", said Rarity.

"Are you sure you want to know?", asked Connor.

"Of course, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't know any of your loved ones?", said Rarity.

Connor then sighed and said, "Her name was Maria."

"Was? What do you mean was?", said Rarity with a confused look.

Connor then had a sad look and said, "She's dead. She was murdered by a common thug. I could've saved her but I wasn't good enough. It's all my fault, I should've never tried to find a shortcut. Maybe she would still be alive if not for me."

Rarity then started to cry and said, "How could you have suffered so much? Why would anypony be that cruel to somepony as nice as you?"

"That thug wanted money. Since I didn't have enough money to give him, he killed Maria.", said Connor on the verge of tears.

"That cold hearted, greedy spawn of Tartarus! He deserves any kind of punishment given to him.", said Rarity.

"Don't worry, he definitely got a punishment. What kind of clothes did you have for me to change into anyway?", said Connor.

"I still have to make them. I think I may need your measurements to make them.", said Rarity.

"All right. I'll let you measure me.", said Connor.

"Right this way.", said Rarity before they walked into another room.
