The Average Day of A Bad Self Insert: The Sequel: The Prequel

Ace awoke to a normal day. It was a nice break from Twilight's ghost. However, something didn't set right with him. It was too quiet. You see, normally he'd hear hoofsteps from ponies trotting past his home, or the faint voices from the busy town Square. There was no noise at all. It also felt strangely warm in his house. It soon came to mind that his house seemed to be on fire.

"What a nice morning t- Sweet Celestia!"

It could have been the steamed tofu he was going to have with Big Macintosh for an unforgettable luncheon burning, or Celestia hadn't lifted the sun high enough. Either way, his house was burning. He galloped out of the dining room. He bucked the front door open and dashed out, covered in soot and ash. His coat, mane and tail were singed.

Twilight Sparkle stood there with a matchbox.

"What's wrong, bitch?" She asked Ace, who was now wide awake.

"Glad you asked. Why exactly are you holding matches near my house, which seems to have burst into flames?" Ace asked quizzically.

"Why do ya think, bitch?" She said, almost repeating herself.

"Could it be your psychopathic tendencies caught up to you, or maybe you were always this insane?" Ace answered with another question.

Twilight smiled.

"Okay, that's enough of an answer." Ace replied as he trotted off into town.

The other houses were on fire, too.

"Wellp, looks like we need a new town," Ace thought to himself.

Ace calmly trotted outside of town, as this had only been the third time the town burnt down, and that was only counting specifically being on fire with matches that Twilight owned.

The first time being the day Spike couldn't use his fire and needed to light up a grass cigarette he said was 'For a friend' and accidentally set Twilight's tail on fire, so she ran into her library. That clearly didn't end well, considering the place was filled with stacks of paper and also made from a tree.

He didn't want to think about the second.

Soon enough, the fire had spread into the forest, and blazing bunnies ran out from the brush.

"Fluttershy's definitely going to be surprised."

He wondered what Celestia thought about her 'best student' fucking up the whole town for everypony.
