Homeless forever (AU Grimdark thing, beware)

You're kidding, right?

You've got to be kidding me. You drag me out of your headspace and make me an account for something I don't want to do to make fun of me, huh? Yeah, yeah, I know, "former Wonderbolt". It's not cute, you know. Even if it is true, going from Wonderbolts to Shadowbolts for our ove-... new princess.

Don't think I'm going to remain happy for any of this, you know as well as I do how deep these scars go. Just get it over with, will you? You know you'll just get bored of this and put me back into your little box until you next find it hilarious.

Guess so. Equestria always finds a way to take you by surprise.

(Captain, even Soarin can tell you're lying through your teeth. He doesn't point that out though; it's just a sign that things are more grave than they should be.)

Then I guess we gotta keep working on our routines, right? If nothing else, our wings won't let us down.

Equestria and everypony else.

[Figures. She's not really against it being pointed out, but it's the least she can do to try and make things not as awful as they are. The creeper ponies and the fights are things she hasn't entirely mentioned yet.]

The one thing a pony can depend on with absolute certainty. Mind you, uh, things aren't all smooth sailing with those you wouldn't know. They sort of do their own thing, surprised they even listen to a word I say.

(That's what he likes about you, Spitfire. Even when things are this bad, you treat it with a smile and a grain of salt. He wouldn't expect any less from captain of the Wonderbolts.)

Can't be too far off if we have some semblance of a team, right? Besides, if they won't listen to you, I will; we're a team no matter what.

[Heh, it's all she can do to keep her sanity intact, after all. Though she moves forward a bit, headbutting his side.]

Got someone I can count on, at least. [Smallest bit of a mutter.] Thanks, Soarin. Tell anyone about this and I will end you.

(If it works, it works; Soarin definitely won't complain. Besides, a team works its best when the leader is still holding herself together.

He laughs a little at that.)

No problem. We can handle this...somehow.

What could make it better is if we get something to eat. I'm starving! (Aaaand we go back to Soarin being Soarin.)
