Twilight and Soarin' told Rainbow Dash and Spitfire about the past Soarin' and Trixie had and why she was so mad at Soarin'.

"Wow, Soarin', you were a real jerk as a colt." Spitfire told him

"I know. I'm still kicking myself in the flank for it." he responded to his fellow Wonerbolt.

"And I didn't know Trixie had a tough life" Rainbow Dash told Twilight. "That explains why she acted like a jerk when we first met her"

"And why she apologized to us." Twilight added. "I just wish Applejack felt the same way, and I think Rarity might be against her as well."

---

The 4 walked to the library. Soarin' still felt guilty for what he did and wanted to make sure that Trixie knew he was deeply sorry for the way he treated her when they were foals.

Before walking in, however, Soarin' had a question for the three of them. "Can I ask something?"

"Sure Soarin'" Spitfire told him. "What's wrong?"

"Well, I just want to know why you three aren't treating me more harshly then the way you treated Trixie. After all, what I did happenned when I was a foal where as what Trixie did was recently." He told them.

"That's just it, Soarin'" Dash told him. "You were just a Colt when you treated Trixie the way you did. You didn't know any better. Besides, you've changed. You know what you did was wrong and are willing to forgive it. That's why we're treating you differently then the way we're treating Trixie."

"Rainbow Dash is right" Spitfire added. "I mean, don't get us wrong, we're still mad at you, but what's happenned in the past stays in the past."

"Yeah. You and Trixie have perfect reasons for why you did the thing's you've done" Twilight reassured him "So don't worry, it's completely fair."

"Thanks you three" Soarin' told them.

The four ponies that saw Trixie run off entered the library. Trixie was using an invisibility spell she had just recently learned, but not mastered. So long as she stayed perfectly still, the spell would last. Though the four of them weren't aware Trixie was there, so that was a good thing.

"Well Soarin'," Twilight began. "Why not tell us what happenned after Trixie fled Canterlot?"

"I'd be glad to, Twilight." Soarin' told her.

'This should be interesting' Trixie thought to herself sarcastically

"It all started a few weeks after Trixie left" Soarin' began

---

Soarin' was still feeling guilt after Trixie had left. He thought it was nothing and just ignored the guilt. However, he started halucinating. He heard her voice telling him that it was his fault, he saw flashes of her leaving town blaming him. He even started having nightmares of Trixie being found brutally injured or worse and the Police throwing him in Pony Prison. It got so bad that he started randomly screaming whenever the halucinations happenned. His teachers told his parents that he should see a psychiatrist and get all of these questions answered. Soarin' said that he didn't need one, but his parents sent him to one anyway.

He even vividly remembers the first day he went. The Psychiatrist was a green unicorn with a black mane and white tail. His cutie mark was a brain with a red cross next to it.

"Good afternoon, Soarin'" The doctor told him. "My name is Doctor Mane-tal. I'm here because your parents and teachers thought that you might need mental help."

"Pfft. I don't need any mental help" Soarin' told the doctor. "I mean don't get me wrong doc, it's not you, but only crazy people need help with their brain."

"Actually Soarin', there are some ponies who are perfectly normal who need a Psychiatrist." he told him "But they need the Psychiatrist because it helps them get thoughts that might be mentally torturing them off of their back. For example, did you know that even the great Hoof-dini needed a Psychiatrist when he was a kid because he was tortured?"

"Wow, really?" Soarin' said in a shocked tone.

Dr. Mane-tal nodded. "Now looking over your case, it says that you've been reported as screaming a lot recently. Care to tell me what the problem is there?" He asked.

Soarin' hesitated

"Relax Soarin'," the doctor reassured him "What's said within these walls won't be repeated to anyone from me. Now, you care to tell me?"

"Well..." Soarin' began "I've been having a lot of wierd visions lately. I've also been hearing things. I've even had nightmares."

"Care to explain a bit more?" The doctor asked.

"Well, they seem to be about this filly I kind of know" he told him "She dissappeared recently and no pony's been able to find her."

"Can you at least tell me what her name is or what she looks like?"

"Well, her name's Trixie" Soarin' began "She's a unicorn that's powder blue and she has a mane and tale that are almost as white as freshly fallen snow. Her eyes are like a purple that's as bright as amythests." He began trailing on and on until he realized he was going off topic and was sounding almost love-sick. "Uh, not that I have any particular interest in her."

"I understand." The doctor told him, writing down things on his notepad. "Continue."

"Well, it's just that these visions have been about her disappearance." Soarin' told the doc. "I just don't know why."

"Did you happen to do anything to her that might have made her run off?" The doctor asked.

"Well...not that I can think of" Soarin' told him trying to remember. He then remembered about insulting her and spitting on her a few weeks before. "What in Celestia's name have I done." he told himself outloud.

"What do you mean?" the doctor asked with a quizzical look

"I remember that about the day before she had left, I had done some rather...mean things to her." Soarin' told the doctor, who seemed to be his closest confidant. "I spat in her face, called her names. I'm almost afraid that I was the one that caused her to leave."

The doctor smiled. "There Soarin'. That's what I'm looking for. Doesn't it feel better?"

Soarin' sighed. "It does a bit"

"That's exactly what I'm here for." The doctor told him. "If anything's troubling you, just tell me, and I'll keep it between us."

"There's more." Soarin' continued. "The day that I did all this. The reason I did it was because her diary was published for pretty much the whole school to see. In her diary, it stated that she has a crush on me. I...I feel like such a jerk now." Tears started forming in his eyes. "What if it's my fault that she's out there with who knows what happenned to her? What if I'm the reason that I caused all this to happen." He started crying at himself, worrying about the filly who fled Canterlot possibly because of him.

The doctor handed him tissues. "Here, Soarin'" Soarin' took the tissues and blew his nose into them.

This process continued for weeks. Soarin' would fly to Dr. Mane-tel's office and he would talk to him about the recent problems that he had been having with himself. It gave Soarin' a shoulder to cry on, but it also gave him someone to confide in.

Soarin' also started having less halucinations and nightmares. However, it was during one night, during the week before Colt-smas, that Soarin's life took a turn. Soarin' had a dream that helped mold him into the stallion he was today.

In the dream, Soarin' was flying over a lake. He noticed himself in a Wonderbolt's uniform. He always did admire the Wonderbolts, even secretly wanting to join them at one point. But when he landed, Soarin' got an unexpected visitor.

"So, you think that you got rid of me, huh?" The male voice told him. He turned around and saw...himself? He started backing up.

"Who are you?" he asked the pony that looked like him.

"Don't you recognize me Soarin'? I'm you!" the pony told him.

"You can't be me, I'm me." Soarin' told him, both confused, and scared.

"I'm the you that drove that stupid little filly off. I enjoyed it too" the other him said.

"Please, just go away" Soarin' told him. I'm doing just fine on my own.

"Come on, Soarin'. Admit it, you enjoyed making her feel bad." the other him said.

"N-n-no. That's not me. Please just leave me be." He then realized that his darker self had backed him into a corner. The clouds having turned into thunder clouds as lightning started to flash.

"You have nowhere to run, Soarin'" His darker self told him. "You're all mine now."

Just then, Soarin' heard a familiar female's voice. "LEAVE HIM ALONE, YOU BULLY!"

The two of them turned to see none other then Trixie, standing up against the darker Soarin'.

"Uh-oh." He heard his other self mutter.

"You listen here, evil Soarin', you may seem threatening on the outside, but on the inside, you're nothing but a coward!" she yelled at his dark self. Her horn started glowing as she blasted him with magic while yelling the cliched "NOOOOOO!" that most villains shout when their plan fails.

Soarin' had his eyes shut from the magic Trixie had used. When he opened his eyes, the darker form of him was gone and Trixie stood in front of him, holding out a hoof to help him up. He accepted and got back on his hooves. "Thank you, Trixie." he told the unicorn. "I don't know what would have happenned if you hadn't helped."

"I know that the new you would have done the same for me if I was being bullied." she told him back. Then, the most unexpected thing of his dream happenned. Trixie kissed him on the muzzle as the thunderclouds had disappeared and a beautiful sunset had shown up with birds flying overhead. If someone else were to see it, the scene would have been romantic and if it was a TV show, the audience would have gone "Aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww". The wierder part was that Soarin' was actually enjoying the kiss as well.

Before Soarin' woke up, he heard Trixie whisper "I love you" into his ear. That was the last thing in the dream before Soarin' got up. His parents were looking at him wondering why it tooks so long for him to get up. "Mom, Dad, I just had the most wonderful dream." he said to his parents, which was a good thing, showing that his sessions with the Psychiatrist helped him a lot.

The dream, as Soarin' interperitted it, told him that if he wanted to find Trixie, he should become a Wonderbolt.

---

"That's everything important" Soarin' finished telling the four mares in the room, even though he only knew three were in there. Twilight was teary-eyed from the last part, Spitfire was listening to the story with such awe at what she had heard, and Rainbow Dash, who never usually liked sappy stories like Soarin's, was busy crying at the sad and yet somewhat romantic storie Soarin' told her and her friends.

"Wow Soarin', that was so beautiful" Twilight told the blue pegasus stalion.

"Thanks." Soarin' said, accepting the compliment and starting to blush a little.

"I hate to interrupt." Spitfire told him, "but we should go looking for Trixie. After all, she does deserve an apology from you, Soarin'."

"Good idea." Soarin' agreed.

The four ponies left the library. Trixie walked up to the bedroom of the library, lying down on the bed Twilight was allowing her to sleep on. "I...I didn't know that he cared about me that much." she thought outloud to herself. "Or even that he might have actually loved me." Trixie was starting to shed tears at Soarin's story. She knew that she had one more pony to apologize to now. She was just hoping it wasn't too late.
