Razor wiped the sweat from his forehead as he closed his forge. Today, he had just finished four different orders. Profiting a little over seven-hundred bits that day. He felt proud of himself. Once he had locked up his forge; he walked into his home. The moment he stepped in he heard the voices of his parents. He moved slower; so that his steps were softer against the wooden floor. When he reached the door to the kitchen. He pressed his ear against the door. He could hear his parents on the other side.

“Must we have this conversation, now?” The voice of his father asked.

“We have to make sure our son is taken care of when we are no longer around,” The voice of his mother responded, “We know how to take care of him. But, there are not many who understand his condition. We know it; only because we've gone to group meetings and we have books on it. But, other ponies,” She paused for a moment, “Other ponies think colts and fillies that are like him. Are nothing but brats.” She finished.

Razor was silent as he listened to his parents talk. He agreed with his mother; many ponies did not understand him. He also knew it wasn't his fault. But, it didn't stop him from feeling like it was. There were many times they had conversations like this. They would think he was not there. When really he was listening in on their conversation. He heard them when they talked about how difficult it had been at times. How because of his disability it was costing them a lot of bits. That was what influenced his decision to use his fondness of swords and sword making; to help his parents with the bits. He knew he was different, he knew his disability was challenging and hard to understand. But, that was not what made him feel sad or upset. No, it was the fact of his complete existence as a colt. Who by sheer bad luck had to be born with a mental defect. He sighed before setting the bits down and walking back out. He had a feeling his parents could do without him for an afternoon. Or, maybe a night. Maybe even the remainder of their lifetimes.

“They wouldn't miss me,” He said to himself as he walked away from his home, “After all they could make more.” He finished as he continued to walk; heading in the direction of the Ponyville lake.

(Location:Castle of the two sisters)

The students were gathered at the castle of the two sisters. Ever since their first visit to the forgotten place; it had become a nice place for them to get away from the world. A way for all of them to relax together. And, after the week they had each of them needed to be here. Ocellus, Smolder, and Silverstream were each resting on a bean bag chair they had brought. While the others were playing a game of catch. Gallus seemed to be really focused on the game. For, there were times he would throw the ball to hard or suddenly start giving off competitive grunts.

Sandbar caught the ball and held onto it, “Gallus,” He spoke causing everyone to look at him, “Are you still upset about Tuesday?” He asked.

Gallus snorted loudly as he looked down to the floor, “Yeah.” He answered.

Silverstream then spoke, “I though you and Ocellus let that go,” She said as she looked towards said Changeling; who looked away from her, “Both of you know he didn't mean to embarrass both of you.” She finished.

To that Ocellus replied, “We know,” She sighed heavily, “It's just......you don't say something like that out loud.” She finished.

Everyone knew exactly what the two were talking about. It was on Tuesday; The two were horribly embarrassed by him. He had told both of them to stop staring at his flank. He embarrassed Gallus again in the locker-room. Where Gallus had pushed him against the shower wall; trying to threaten him. But, during that time also he reminded him of certain affect combat had on gryphons. He thanked Sandbar up and down for saving him.

“Don't forget about what he did to me on Wednesday.” Yona commented.

None of them had forgotten what happened that day. How Razor had insulted one of Miss Fluttershy's birds. Had a tantrum as Yona tried to make him listen to birds song. He then threw her across the room. Screamed and moaned annoyingly; only to end up getting both Yona and Gallus thrown in detention. Which was completely unfair to the two. He was the one disturbing the class. And, yet, those two were punished.

“At least he didn't embarrass you both in front of your leaders.” Smolder spoke.

All of them knew what she meant. It was when her dragon lord had visited Ponyville. It surprised her for Ember had not informed her of a visit. And, when Yona had told her Razor was talking to her. Well, she flew like Quetzalcoatl was on her tail. She had tackled the colt and tried to apologize to her lord. But, Razor had to point out a group of ponies had seen the position they were in. She felt embarrassed and flew as far away as she could.

It was later that day she had found out about why Ember was in Ponyville. Apparently, Razor had asked Twilight about her connection to the dragon lord. He then asked Spike about it; then through Spike he had set up a small meeting. He was making a deal with dragon lord Ember for the trade of five hundred crystalline ingots and three hundred metal ingots. She did not know why he need those but she really didn't care. He embarrassed her in front of everypony. And, she was not going to forgive that......freak for that one.

All of them sat in silence for a little bit. None of them wanting to talk anymore. Each of them were wondering; how long were they going to have to put up with Razor. Would he ever get in trouble? Would the school change again because of him? Would he get them all expelled? Silverstream shook her head and flew up.

“Hey, guys?” She asked causing the group to look up at her, “How about we all head to the lake. We haven't been there for awhile and I think we could use a visit.” She suggested.

Her friends looked at one another; they smiled and then nodded. They got up from where they sat and made their way to the castle exit. Silverstream was right; all of them could use a visit to the lake. It was a place where they all really got to know one another. A place where they could actually have fun. A place where all of them felt at peace.

(Location: Ponyville lake)

The students sat calmly along the water-banks of the Ponyville lake. Silverstream, had a very good idea. Because the lake was a very good place for all of them to relax. Which was what all of them were doing. Smolder and Gallus rested against Yona; who was napping on a blanket she had brought with her. While Ocellus and Sandbar were skipping stones. Silver stream had turned into her sea-pony form and enjoyed a swim in the lake.

“Ha,” Ocellus laughed as she flew into the air, “I win again.” She finished as she landed back down on the ground.

Sandbar laughed along with her before he asked, “How do you make the stones go so far?” He got his answer when Ocellus held up a very smooth and flat small rock.

“You want to find a small rock about like this,” She began before bringing her right hoof back, “You also want to angle your throw a little bit. That way your not throwing it directly at the water.” She finished before she threw the rock.

The rock skipped off the lakes surface about five times; before finally loosing its momentum and sinking below the waters surface. At the time Silverstream had propelled herself out of the water and turned back into her original form. She flew just above as she flew back to the shore. When she was close enough she landed on the beach.

“This is nice,” She said as she looked out across the lake. Smiling happily as the suns light reflected off the waters surface. Making it sparkle like the stars at night, “I'm glad I thought about coming here.” She finished.

The others agreed before they joined the other three. All of them rested against Yona; who was smiling happily in her sleep. It was a good day to be at the lake; it was nice and warm with a cool breeze blowing through. It was a day where everything was just perfect. Ocellus began to yawn a quiet yawn. Her eyes blinked a couple of times; before she saw a figure sitting along the edge of the lake. When she focused her sight on the figure her eyes went wide in surprise.

“Razor.” She said in astonishment.

What she said woke Gallus, Yona, and Smolder from their peaceful slumber. While Silverstream and Sandbar focused their attention on their classmate. He sat there at the edge of the lake; looking out at its surface. Just staring out at its beautiful surface. They looked at one another before they each got up and began to walk towards him.

Razor focused all his attention on the waters surface. He could hear the sound of multiple footsteps walking towards him. But, he did not care. He was there to clear his mind. When the steps had come to a stop; he looked over to see who was near him. He saw his classmates standing next to him. But, he did not care. He turned to look back out at the lake.

“Hello to you too, Razor.” Gallus said in a sarcastic tone. He hated it whenever Razor would do that.

“Hello to all of you,” Razor replied in his typical robotic-like voice, “Now, please. Leave me alone.” He finished.

Three of his classmates gave off growls of irritation. While the rests just shook their head. All but Ocellus started to walk back to where they were. She did not know why; but, for some reason she she felt there was something Razor was not telling them. Slowly, she walked around him and sat down next to him.

“I asked nicely to be left alone.” Razor said while keeping his sight on the water.

Ocellus nodded, “I know,” She replied while moving close to him, “Are you okay?” She asked.

“No.” He answered.

The others stopped and turned back to look at the two. Ocellus had a look of concern appear on her face, “What's wrong?” She asked.

“I am a burden on my parents,” Razor answered which stunned everyone to silence, “They would have an easier life if I was never born.” He finished.

Everyone gasped at what he had said. Never, had they ever heard any-creature say such a thing. They others had started to walk back to them. While Ocellus had shot to her hooves.

“Razor!” She began, “Why would you say that? Your parents wouldn't have an easier life! They wouldn't have you; their child.” She finished in a voice filled with shock.

“And if I had not been born or had not been born with Asperger's. They would not be having a hard time,” His vision was focused on the lake still as he continued, “I've been to three different schools. Gotten into fights with other students; simply because of my condition. Teachers and principals have written me up on multiple occasions.” He stopped to take a breath while the others stood next to him and Ocellus, “I've been called a freak, bastard, idiot, retard, moron, son of a bitch, and a motherbucker,” If he was looking at his classmates; he would have probably been laughing. For, everyone had their mouths open and eyes wide in shock. Who knew he had such a colorful vocabulary, “I was six when I finally said my first words. They had to hire a specialist to teach me how to do everything a normal filly or colt could do. It cost them around six-hundred bits a session.” He took another breath; the more he explained. The more his words affected his classmates. Gallus and Smolder slightly gritted their teeth; not angry at his story. But, at their own ignorance; for they gave him some trouble in school on occasion. While the others were saddened by his story.

The group sat in silence for a couple of minutes. That was until the silence was broken by Sandbar who asked, “Razor,” A silent pause passed before he continued, “What are you looking at?” He asked hoping to change the subject.

“Nothing. I am just thinking.” Razor answered.

“What are you thinking about?” Sandbar asked with slight hesitation.

Razors' reply was one they did not expect, “If I should drown myself today or not.” Razor responded.

All of them gasped in horror; each of them not believing what they had just heard. Ocellus moved in front of Razor.

“Razor, why would you even think about doing that?!” She almost yelled in anger, “Your parents would.”

“Probably, celebrate with a glass of white wine,” Razor interrupted her, “White wine is their favorite.” He finished.

Smolder unintentionally released a growl, “Razor, are you out of your mind?” She mentally kicked herself for the poor choice of words, “Your parents would never celebrate your death. They would miss you.” She finished.

“I repeat things, I hate certain noises because I find them annoying, I hate the color blue for some reason,” He listed off his faults, “Their is nothing good about me.” He finished.

“What about your talent for making swords?” Yona asked.

“That is the only good thing about me,” Razor responded, “There isn't anything else.” He finished.

Sandbar spoke, “That's not true,” He argued, “I'm sure that there are ponies who would do anything to have a talent like yours.” He said.

Razor looked at him, “And I would do anything to be normal like all of you,” He said causing all of them to flinch, “Did your parents have to go to special meetings to learn about you? Do your parents spend hundreds and hundreds of bits on doctor visits? Have you ever been hated and disliked. All because you were born the way you were?” He finished.

All of them were shocked into silence. When he had said the last question; each of them had one word pop into their mind. Yes. Yes, when all of them had first attended Twilight's school. A member of EEA had called them dangerous creatures. Who should just stay with their own kind and stay away from ponies. Yes, they knew exactly how Razor felt. Because, just like Councilor, Neighsay. They treated him like he was a dangerous creature. All of them then saw a tear fall from his eye.

“I need to leave,” Razor suddenly said as he tried to walk away, “I need to be somewhere quiet.” He finished.

Silverstream suddenly moved in front of him, “No!” She said as she wrapped her front legs around him. Capturing him in a comforting hug.

“Let me go.” He said.

“No,” Silverstream repeated while making him look at her, “Razor, you don't need to suffer alone,” She spoke hoping that she was getting through to him, “You don't need to be sad.” She finished.

“I'm not sad.” He replied.

Gallus then spoke, “Razor,” He placed a caring claw on his shoulder, “Silverstream is right,” He continued as the others stood beside them, “We're here for you. There's no need to be sad.”

Before Razor could respond he was captured in a large group hug. Although, many would already be overcome with emotion. He continued to have the same stoic expression as before, “I'm not sad,” He spoke but the hug only intensified, “I'm not sad,” he repeated again before his head dropped a little, “I'm......I'm.......I'm,” A single tear fell from his eye, “I'm sad,” he finally said. Although he did confirm his sadness; his stoic expression told a different story, “I don't like being sad.” He finished.

Sandbar replied, “Razor,” He began, “All of us have been treating you poorly,” He admitted, “I know it may not mean much. But,” He looked at everyone who just nodded at him, “Razor, we're all very sorry. We promise to you; each of us will try and be better friends to you.” He finished.

Razor looked towards him, “We're......friends?” he asked.

His answer was a nod from all of them. They also smiled happily at him.

“I've,” He began before he paused for just a second; allowing his brain to process the information, “I've never had friends before.” He finished.

Smolder then spoke, “Well, you do now,” She then extended her claw to him, “What do you think about that?” She asked.

It took Razor a moment to respond, “I.......I.......I like having friends.” He finally finished before reaching out to grab her claw.

They had a small handshake and the group-along with Razor- walked back to their spot on the lake. As they walked; none of them-not even Razor himself- noticed the smile that had appeared on Razor's normally stoic face.
