The author wanted me to translate this. I didn't want to write it because I thought it was completely unnecessary. I suggest you skip this introduction and read the chapter.

Many things had happened for the last years. Too many, maybe. Some of them could be considered ‘unlucky’.

On one hoof, Colgate, one of the dentists of the town, was sued by one of her customers for using by accident anesthesia with the wrong expiration date, which ended up sending the pony to the hospital. A little after, she received another demand for a pair of misplaced amalgams that broke off from the molars of her customer just three weeks after the operation. Soon after, with her reputation shattered she had to move out of the town.

The mare called Bonbon died from AIDS. She apparently was infected by somepony who wasn’t her mate: Lyra. Not being able to take the treason from the one who had been her lover for the last ten years, Lyra fell into a heavy nervous breakdown that made her leave the town, leaving Bonbon, who died sad and alone. No one ever hear again of Lyra, though there are rumors that say she went to Dammerung, the land of vampires, where she joined a satanic cult.

After several months of research, a police operation was deployed in Doctor Whooves’ house. The cops discovered a meth lab in his basement. It ended up with a violent shootout where the mare Cherry Punch, costumer of the doctor and who was at the crime scene at that time, was injured in the crossfire, suffering serious injuries that sent her to a wheelchair. The stallion known as Caramel, Whooves’ accomplice, died at the scene of the crime. However, Whooves managed to escape and hid in the Everfree forest. After five days, the cops finally found him, or what there was left of him, next to a lake. They identified him because of the DNA evidence and it was reportd he had been eaten by tinderwolves.

Derpy Hooves, Whooves’ lover, turned out to be also involved in the drug business, but not as an accomplice or as a client, but as a guinea pig for his drugs. One of them was called ‘The Time Machine’, which Derpy had become addicted to. Besides it had caused her vision problems and cognitive irregularities, which until now were attributed to latent congenital factors. Derpy was interned in the Canterlot hospital for her rehabilitation and she was stripped of custody of her daughter, who was born outside marriage: Dinky. Derpy managed to complete her treatment satisfactorily, though they never managed to fix her vision problems. The struggle to regain the legal custody of her daughter continues…

Finally, Vinyl Scratch, also known as DJ Pon-3, got out of the closet to recognize that she was a lesbian and declared her love shortly after to her old classmate of the music school: Octavia. Very disgusted for the invitation to take part in such a relationship, the cellist broke the DJ’s heart wildly and she fell into a depression that ended up turning her into an alcoholic. Nowadays she resides in a support center and things look uncertain for her future.

And as they say ‘nothing of value was lost that day’. Seriously, who cares? Better said, should we care? Who the hell is that people? Let’s talk about the ones that matter, shall we?

Author's Notes:

I know this was stupid for this story. It was funny, but I think it wasn't necessary at all.
