The Beginning of The Clown...

Canterlot:

Psychiatric Hospital
Some time ago...

"Zephyr, does it help to have somepony to talk to?" - psychiatrist asked.
"Why do I feel so bad?" - Carnival didn't want to answer to question that she asked.
"It's because of medicine." - answer was quick and emotionless.
"No, it's because ponies are bad, and they're treating me like a garbage." - Carnival wasn't angry, he was calm.
"Zephyr, these ponies you're talking about, maybe exist but I can assure you that, there is nopony that could harm in every other way. You just have to ignor them..." - she finished, as Carnival smiled.
"Yeah... just ignore them..."

Canterlot:

Present time...

Carnival was running away from the train station. He was scared because he did something bad. If his sister, her friend Rainbow Dash, Pixie Cut or any of his friends would know... When he was running ahead, he noticed public restroom. He choose to get in there. He closed the door... He was terrified,
he was breathing really fast but then he realised...

There was nopony and no evidence on him that could brought him to justice, he was free and he wasn't going anywere... Maybe it was sudden calm that hited him, or maybe cleared mind but he started to dance.
He accomplished something, he finished something. He have made somepony laugh beacuse of his illness. He didn't cared about the part when he killed those ponies. He was happy...

Canterlot:

Hoyt’s Party Center - Locker Room
Next day...

It was a sunny day in Canterlot. Carnival was taking his stuff from a locker and his co-workers were talking about subway murders...

"I've read that guy was wearing a full makeup."
"No it's says right here it was a mask."
"Either way, I think it' good for business."
"Hey, Carnival I've heard what happend, sorry mate." - Garry interrupted them.
"Yeah, it doesn't seem fair being fired like that..." - Randal insolently interjected.
"Did you've realy brought a gun to children hospital Carni? Why the fuck would you do that for?" - one of clowns asked.
"Is that new part of your act Carnival? If the dancing doesn't do the trick you're gonna shoot yourself?" - as another clown spoked, everypony laught except Garry.
"Why don't you ask Randall about it? It was his gun." - Carnival said that as he took everything from his locker.
"What?" - Randall screamed.
"I still owe you for that don't I?" - Carnival said it with grin and didn't wait for answer and left but he quickly returned to the locker room and punched clock until it fell on floor.
"Sorry guys I almost forgot to punch out! And by the way my name is no longer Carnival I'm Zephyr Breeze" Then he laugh and finaly left for good. Everyone looked at Randall. Zephyr happy walked down the stairs and noticed a small sign on a wall. He took the marker from his pocket and changed it from:

Don't Forget to
Smile!
To:
Don't Forget to
Smile!

Canterlot:

Zephyr Breeze Home

"Happy, Thomas Wayne is on TV!" - Pixie Cut called Zeph.
"Yes, just a moment i haven't eat breakfast yet." - he answered as he was making himself cereals. In background TV was playing interview with Thomas Wayne...
"...I'm very shocked and sad, that those ponies were killed. Although I didn't know personal any of them, I feel like they were my friends, my family. Everypony in Wayne Enterprises are family. Worst part about that situation is that poor ponies are anti-rich and taking killers side, it's a real shame. That's one of the reasons I'm taking a run for mayor... Canterlot lost it's way. And a thing with his appearance, he was wearing a makeup of a clown, because somepony could do that thing only wearing a mask like a coward. Ponies like him are too scared to show their own face. Ponies like him are the clowns..." - Zephyr laught.
"That's wasn't funny Zeph..." - Pixie said but he didn't answered, he was just staring at TV with Thomas Wayne on it.

Canterlot:

Psychiatric Hospital
Later...

"I didn't told you how I've got my name, well my past name. It's one of my favourite songs, a guy was signing that he was Carnival... Until a while ago, It was like nobody ever saw me... Even I didn't know if I even existed." - he didn't finished but psychiatrist was getting unpatient.
"Zephyr I have some bad news for you..." - she was interupted by Zephyr's look.
"You don't listen do you? I don't make you ever realy listen. You just ask the same questions every week, how is your job are you having any negative thoughts? All I have are negative thoughts but you don't listen anyway. I said, for my whole life I didn't know if I even realy existed, but I do, and Ponies are starting to notice..." - he finished.
"They've cut off our fundings. We're closing offices in next week. I'm sorry Zephyr, it's the last time we're meeting." - she looked at Zeph sadly.
"Ok." - while saying this he didn't even looked at her.
"They aren't giving shit about ponies like you, and they aren't giving shit about ponies like me." - after this he finaly looked at her.
"So, who am I supposed to talk to? Where can I get my medications? I won't get them without your prescription." - Zephyr had to take medication after surgery, so he would stay stable in a mental way.
"I'm sorry Zephyr."

Canterlot:

Canterlot Comedy Center

Zephyr didn't wanted to end with his comedy path. He only gave up on his "Clown name". As he entered CCC (shortcut for Canterlot Comedy Center), he was getting ready, he thought that he would make them all laugh at first joke. He was wrong... Everypony was booing him, so he left. Sad and angry he went to his friend Pixie house...

"Celestia! What are you doing in here?" - she screamed scared as she saw somepony in her home, she was living alone.
"You're Zephyr right? You live at the end of hallway?" - he noded.
"I realy need you to leave..." - she said it a little terrified but Zephyr didn't moved a bit.
"I had a bad day..." - he slowly turned his head to her. He reached into his memories with her. Everytime she ever was by him, everything she said to him. It was all in his head, his broken head. He stood up and walked to his appartment. When he reached his destination... he started to laugh, but it wasn't his condition... It was his own laugh...
