My memory dissipates from the sudden sounds of someone walking up from behind me.

“Sorry that took so long.” Says the grey mare, “I had to find a clean towel for you.” She lays the towel on the table and puts a fresh mug of apple cider in front of me.

“Thank you, Trixie still appreciates your kindness.”

“I’m sorry about what happened to your hat though.” She says giving a nod to my hat sitting next to the fire.

“Oh don’t be Trixie hat has had worse done to it. So she knows a couple spells to fix it if something happens to it.” I say giving a sad look towards my hat.

“You seem to have a lot of memories with it. Is it special with a spell or something on it?”

“No, there is no spell on it. It’s just that we have been through so much and I have many happy and sad memories with it.” I say turning to her. I look into her eyes and stare into them. They are beautiful but I can see a lot of sadness behind them. She must have been through a lot in her life.

“Well if there is anything I can help you with just give me a holler.” She says with a smile. It’s sad seeing her try so hard to be nice when it’s easy to tell that she is hurting on the inside. She then turns and begins to walk off again. I open my mouth to ask her to stay longer, I know I wouldn't mind some company, but no words come out I just watch her walk away. Once she is gone I look out the window again at the stars in the sky. Reminds me of that one night long ago that happy but also sad night were I get my dream but practically loose my friend.
