The Relapse

So... it's been a while; a little over six months to be somewhat exact, since I've last written anything. What's happened in that time? Depending on who you ask, a lot or not much. I'm sure the princesses would say that I've made huge strides in becoming a friendlier person, but I'd say that's only because I now keep a lot of what I'm thinking to myself. Crystal Beth and Dew Star would probably say the same, but whatever. I want to say that not much has changed, but that’s not true.

With the help of the princesses, Celestia and Luna mainly, I've managaed to expand my "business" and teach a few ponies and a griffon how I do what I do, which isn't much. I only have a few "employes" right now and each of them have some sort of special talent that has to do with talking, friendliness, or in the griffon's case, not talking at all. Just like with me, whoever comes to see us has an easy time opening up, but the difference between them and me is that they can actually give advice and this is where the princesses come in. They give me and my group whatever resources we need when it comes to helping our clients; an actual office, references, prescriptions, and even personal meetings with them if it's important enough. While this sounds great and all, I only see it as adding babysitting to my job that I barely do anymore. It's great that I now have all the money I could want and no longer have ponies showing up at my place, but... I don't know.

Beth and Dew Star are standing over my shoulder as I write this and are telling me to explain why I'm writting again. After my last entry, I didn't feel the need to record my sessions anymore since I officially had freinds to talk to about things; that and a whole bunch of things were changing so suddenly that I didn't have the time. Now, as per request of three princesses but mostly one, I'm documenting my new life so that I can prove to myself that my life is better than it was with my new family and friends. I told them I don’t read these after I write them, but they didn’t seem to care.

Speaking of which, with my new name Celestial Comet I techically became a prince, but the princesses were willing to not spread that information beyond the crowd at the banquet. How they managed to get all of those ponies to not say anything about it is a little beyond me, but I have a few ideas that I'm not willing to write here. Besides all that, Celestia and Luna are pretty good sisters-aunts-mothers? as far as I can tell. I make trips to the castle for meals and reporting in on work a few times a week and every so often ride down to Ponyville to see Twilight. Despite Twilight asking me to come visit her outside of her visits to Canterlot, I mostly do it because Celestia asked. She says she senses something is going on with Twilight that she's not telling her and I'd be lying if I said I didn't notice it too. It's probably my fault to be honest, so I'll keep visiting until she's better. Next time I go, I’ll try to remember to ask her friends what’s going on.

Now that my family and friend situations are taken care of, both Celestia and Luna say I should focus on finding a “special somepony.” I’ve heard the term thrown around a few times and I guess for me it would be a girlfriend, but I’ve told them I don’t have any intrest in that. When they asked why, I didn’t have my usual fallback explaination having to do with work, so I just did what I normally do when confronted; tell the truth. Since I never explained the similarities between my world and this one to anyone, I had to and the princesses were less than thrilled being compared to mindless animals. Needless to say, they didn’t understand so anytime they bring it up, I try my best to ignore them.

Beth just said me finding love isn’t that farfetched since I managed to find a faimily and friends and that I might not have to look far. I simply shook my head and wrote this down. They really don’t understand and since I do, I won’t explain it… She’s probably talking about Candy since she’s now the receptionest at the office. Even though it was somewhat explained to me, I still don’t understand how anyone would like me like that; it’s probably a pony thing and to be honest, I kind of don’t want to understand. Ponies are already complicated and I don’t want to spend anymore time thinking about it than I have to…I just realized, writing about this might make a certain princess show up now…

Dear Princesses,

Please excuse Comet’s bluntness in his writing. I’ve taken a peek at some of his other papers and it’s just as bad, so don’t think he’s writing like this because he knows you’re reading it. I’ll make sure he writes a few times a week and remind him to give them to you when he visits.

Sincerely,

Crystal Beth

P.S. You all know I’m not talking about Candy, right?

Dear Princesses,

Thank you again for everything you’ve done for Comet. I know he doesn’t say it often if at all, but I’m sure he appreciates everything. Since Hearth’s Warming Eve he’s become noticably happier despite what he says and I even think he looks forward to visiting you at the castle. I also want to thank you for letting Beth and I come with him to see you; it makes me very happy Beth loves seeing the castle. If you ever need me for anything, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Dew Star

P.S. Who is Beth talking about?
