In the background

We are always there. We stand smiling, or talking, or playing. We wish to be noticed, but we dissolve into the crowd as the mane six gallop around doing whatever they need to do. You see us, we know you do. You have given us names and dreamed up little stories about our pasts, but you know not the truth. You don't know of the tragedies some of us have faced in our youth. You see us as happy-go-lucky ponies without a care in the world. You're terribly wrong. Each and every one of us has been faced with trials and tribulations. We have all had difficult times. These are our stories.
