"Hi, my name is Laughing Stock. You may guess that I was appropriately named, according to my past. I just wanted ponies to like me for me, but nopony ever gets over the fact that I AM different. What they don't know is that I have cancer, a disease that they probably haven't heard of. I just wish that anypony could get me." These are the problems of being different in a crowd, a problem that everypony faces in town. This is also difficult for Twist, the little school nerd. She helps Laughing Stock get through the hardships with emotional support. Laughing Stock, however, has it harder than any other colt in the town.
