The stars in the sky.

Comet tail walked down to the library.

"Wonder how shes doing today..."

He was about to open the door when he head laughing coming from the other side.

"Who's in the library?" Thought Comet tail.

Comet tail slowly opened the door open a crack and froze up. Sitting at the table was Twilight and..... Goldengrape. Both were laughing.

"No....." Muttered Comet tail in horror.

Goldengrape got up and stepped outside.

"Good day Comet fail." Began Goldengrape.

"Why are you in there?" Asked Comet tail.

"Comet, I made a promise awhile
back and I intend to keep it." Said Goldengrape.

Goldengrape knocked Comet tail onto the ground.....

"Shes mine now Comet."

Golden grape knelt down to look Comet tail directly in the eyes.

"Tomorrow im going to take her out for dinner." Said Goldengrape.

"Wh-why are you doing this!?" Demanded Comet tail. "How did you know!?"

"You know why im doing this Comet."

Goldengrape stood up.

"Payback."

Golden grape stepped back inside.

"No......" Muttered Comet tail.

Comet tail ran towards the observatory.

"No......."

He was so busy running that he didn't notice a small figure watching him leave.

Comet tail ran into the observatory and locked the door. He wasn't heartbroken, he wasn't jealous, he was crushed.

Crushed that Twilight would pick his arch enemy over himself, crushed that Goldengrape would be doing this just out of revenge, crushed that he didn't tell her how he felt.

Comet tail opened a drawer and floated out his burnt scrapbook.

"Goldengrape......" Thought Comet tail.

Comet tail thought back to the very beginning of their feud.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A YEAR AND THREE MONTHS AGO.......

Comet tail sat in the observatory, looking over notes he wrote down from last night's stargazing.

"Polaris serphus is in sector A..... and. Neptus is-"

Comet tail was cut off by a loud grumbling sound.

"Huh?..... Oh my stomach."

Comet tail got up.

"It is lunch time....." Thought Comet tail.

He looked towards the kitchen.

"Maybe I'll go out for food." Thought Comet tail.

Comet tail slipped on his saddlebag and walked outside. For the first time in two months, Comet tail was going to ponyville.

Comet tail found a pub to eat at. He was sitting in a booth seat, looking over a notebook. He had a half eaten plate of salad on the table as well.

"Libra one is in sector five...." Muttered Comet tail.

His thought process was interupted when a cherry landed on his book.

"Huh?"

Comet tail looked towards the direction that the cherry came from. Sitting at a nearby table was four ponies, all snickering. The first was a dark brown colt with a black mane, the second was a black colt with a silvery mane, the third was a pink mare with a bright green mane. The last was Goldengrape.

"Sigh...... Hooligans...."

Comet tail levitated the cherry off of his notebook and approached the table. Goldengrape looked at him.

"What do you want?" Asked Goldengrape.

"Im kindly asking you to stop throwing things at me." Replied Comet tail. "Im focusing on-"

The black colt splashed his drink into Comet tail's face.

"Nice one." Said the Brown colt.

"Let me tell you how things work here." Began Goldengrape. "Everypony here respects me, and my friends here. "

Goldengrape wrapped his front hoof around the pink mare.

"Dont bug me anymore or else I might have to hurt you"

Comet tail growled.

"Oh whats the nerd gunna do now?" Taunted the black colt. "Bore us to death?"

They chuckled.

"No." Said Comet tail.

Comet tail grabbed Four drinks from
a nearby table with magic.

"Im Gunna do this."

Comet tail poured the beverages into the pony's heads.

"And my names Comet tail!"

Some other ponies in the pub that noticed started laughing.

"Oh thats really funny nerd." Growled Goldengrape

Goldengrape made a gesture with his hoof. The two colts got up and pinned Comet tail to the floor.

"Im Dying of laughter!"

Golden grape got up and stood over Comet tail.

"My jokes have a much better punchline."

Goldengrape raised his hoof, then a cup flies into his face.

"Put him down." Said a voice.

Comet tail turned his head and saw three stallions standing, looking at Goldengrape. A blue unicorn, a blue earth pony, and a caramel colored earth pony.

"Stay out of this." Said Goldengrape. "Or your next in line for a beating!"

"Yeah lay off!" Yelled the pink mare.

"No way!" Said the blue pony.

"We have had it with you thinking your better than everypony." Yelled the unicorn.

Everypony in the bar was watching now.

"Hittem Goldie!" Yelled the mare.

"Oh im gunna." Said Goldengrape.

Golden grape stepped away from Comet tail and punched the caramel coated stallion right in the face.

"Gah!"

"Nice one Goldie!" Said the mare.

"Thanks." Replied Goldengrape.

The two blue ponies helped their friend up.

"Your a thick skulled punk!" Yelled Comet tail.

"Oh dont think I for-"

"WHATS THAT RACKET!?"

A green pony with glasses stormed out of the back room. He had a barrel for a cutie mark.

"Who started this!?" He yelled.

"Goldengrape did." Replied the blue unicorn. "Him and his friends threatened to harm this unicorn."

"Is that so...."

Goldengrape started to panic.

"Well you see...... HE STARTED IT!"

The next thing anypony knew, Goldengrape and his crew got kicked out the door...... Literally

"Congratulations punk!" Began the pony. "YOUR ALL BANNED FOR LIFE!"

He slammed the door and walked back into the back room, not even looking at Comet tail.

The three stallions approached Comet tail.

"You alright?" Asked the caramel one.

He helped Comet tail up.

"Yeah im fine. Thanks." Replied Comet tail.

"Names Caramel."

The blue earth pony stepped forwards.

"Blues Noteworthy, but you can call me Noteworthy."

The unicorn stepped forwards.

"Pokey pierce, your new here aren't you?"

"Sorta." Replied Comet tail. "I moved here awhile ago but I haven't been into town that much, im from Canterlot."

"Small world." Said Pokey. "Im a Canterlot pony myself."

"Your alright with us." Said Noteworthy.

"Your the first pony ever to stand up to Goldengrape." Said Caramel.

"He's definitely a piece of work." Added Comet tail.

"After what you did though, ponies wont be so scared of him." Said Pokey pierce.

"Your welcome to hang out with us." Said Caramel. "We meet here almost every night at this exact table."

Comet tail smiled.

"I might just have to take you up on that offer."

Comet tail levitated his saddlebags onto himself and gathered up his belongings.

"Later then." Said Comet tail.

"See ya." Said Noteworthy.

Comet tail stepped outside, he didn't notice a book falling out of his bag.

Comet tail was in the observatory, reading a book. It was dark out now, the sun had set and the moon was in the sky. There was a knock on the door.

"Hm?"

Comet tail set his book down and opened the door. Nopony was there.

"Hello?"

Comet tail stepped outside.

"Anypony there?"

Comet tail looked at the sky.

"Never get tired of seeing that sky." Thought Comet tail.

When he looked back down, Goldengrape was standing in front of him with a saddlebag and a lantern. Before Comet tail could react, Goldengrape knocked him onto the ground.

"Goldengrape?!" Said Comet tail.

"Make yourself comfy Comet Fail, Its story time." Said Goldengrape.

Goldengrape kicked him.

"This ones called, What happened after the nerd got me thrown out of the pub!"

Goldengrape cleared his throat.

"Once me and my friends got banned, Ziggy and Sandy, you know who they are right?" Asked Goldengrape.

Comet tail assumed that was the two ponies who pinned him down.

"They thought I was weak and decided to bail on me!"

Golden grape kicked Comet tail again.

"I didnt really like those blockheads anyways." Said Goldengrape. "What really ticked me off was what happened after that!"

Comet tail gulped.

"That pink mare, Daisy, she was my Marefriend!" Yelled Goldengrape.

Goldengrape kicked Comet tail again, this time in the stomach.

"She decided that I was too. HARSH!" Yelled Goldengrape. "Me, harsh? CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!?"

He kicked Comet tail again.

"She broke up with me!" Yelled Golden grape. "I lost the respect I earned!, my friends!, EVEN MY MARE FRIEND! All because of your stunt back at the pub!"

"You did t earn that respect!" Grunted Comet tail. "You gained it through fear and threats!"

Goldengrape kicked Comet tail in the face.

"But this is what happens right now." Said Goldengrape.

Goldengrape took out a book, the same one Comet tail dropped. It was a scrapbook, one his sister had given to him the day he left Canterlot.

"Im going to tell you just what Im going to do to you..." Said Goldengrape.

Golden grape set the book on the ground and looked at it.

"What are you-"

Goldengrape threw the lantern onto the book, causing it to catch fire.

"NO!"

Golden grape bent down to Comet's eye level.

"Im going to make your life a living hell." Began Goldengrape. "Every chance at happiness you get, I will crush."

He kicked Comet tail again.

"You will suffer Comet, We both are."

Goldengrape got up and turned to leave.

"And nopony will live happily ever after..... The end."

Goldengrape walked away as Comet tail picked up the scrapbook with magic.

"No!"

Comet tail manages to put the book out and holds it in his hooves.

"N-no....."

Comet tail just sat there, holding the book.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>

Comet tail sat in the observatory holding that same book.

"This is why he's doing this." Muttered Comet tail. "He knows my feelings........ He wants me to be..... Miserable."

Comet tail clutched the Scrapbook to him tight.

"But....h-how did he....... Know?"

Comet tail laid on his side, sobbing as tears rolled down his face.

Outside a small figure witnessed the entire thing through a window.

"I got to help him......"

The figure reached for the handle to Comet's front door.

The front door creaked open. Comet tail turned his head to the door.

"Wh-whos there?"

The figure stepped inside.

"Its okay....." Said the figure calmly.

Comet tail looked in surprise.

"Spike?"
