Protip: I discontinued this. This is just how much of Chapter 3 was done before I cancelled.

Ponyville, One Hour After the Events of Chapter 2

Flame was wandering the outskirts of Ponyville, stifling back a yawn. He'd only been out of bed for 10 minutes, but he really didn't want to get up.

As he walked, he noticed a black pegasus with a white mane sitting by a lake. He wasn't doing anything at all, just sitting there looking straight down.

"That looks like R.T.... I wonder if he's alright?" Flame wondered to himself, before he approached him.

"Uh... Hey, R.T.?" Flame asked. The black pegasus simply stared into the lake. Getting no response, Flame sat down next to R.T. and noticed a painful and forlorn expression on his face.

Flame began to get worried. "R.T. man, are you alright?" he inquired with a look of concern. R.T. just sat there, looking down at the ground. After a few seconds, the black pegasus responded.

"No. No, I'm not alright. And I don't want you to ask me about it." R.T. said. Flame continued to sit there, with no objection from the white maned pegasus.

As Flame and R.T. sat there for what must've been ten minutes, the black pegasus began to tell Flame the reason he was sitting out here.

"Seven years ago, on my tenth birthday... my father killed my mother in a drunken rage after severely beating me at around midnight. After that, he flew me to a public park in Cloudsdale, where we lived at the time, and told me he was sorry that he did this, that he never came home at night, that he'd be bucking around with other mares behind my mom's back, that he... that he wasn't any kind of father I needed.. He left me a photo of the three of us... together. After that, he told me to never turn out like him, and jumped off of Cloudsdale with no intentions of flying... I was just lying there. I didn't care that he'd just killed himself. He deserved to die. My mother was gone. Forever. And all I felt was hate, sorrow, pain and anger... with nobody to take it out on." R.T. explained, as he relived the memories inside his head.

Flame was stunned. "Celestia's Sun... I- I had no idea you'd been through all that." he said sympathetically. He looked back upon his own parents, and found himself to be glad that they were so laid-back and fun, but took good care of him, and didn't fight with each other that much,

Yeah, story just ends there on a comma. Thanks for reading, I guess.
