Shine page 346 (Patreon)

So...this page...I dont think I did the real sequence justice but I didnt want to drag out the flashback for more than 3-4 pages.  This page could have been more upsetting.  The original story I still....You know there are certain key moments in your life that you kinda think. these are sorta make or break moments, this is a moment that defines me or at least the memory will be with me forever.

Have the shine page first actually

As a kid growing up in the army you kinda get shifted around a lot.  by the time I was 7 I'd already lived in 6 different places.  But when I was 6 I made a friend. Her name was Emma.  Emma and me we're inseperable until it came to the day my dad was posted elsewhere and suddenly we upped and moved. 

 I hadnt been told about this so at school we were getting ready to celebrate bastille day.  Me and emma were in house pegasus at school so we had certain duties to perform at the celebration including singing various french songs and doing certain arts and crafts and there was going to be a biiig bonfire and fireworks and it was all going to be super exciting.  We were told we needed to bring a torch with tissue paper over the top of our particular house colour (pegasus was blue) to the evening celebration.  So like weeks of prep went into this and I got super excited for fireworks and getting to be with my friend at this big bonfire party thing so I say goodbye to her at the school gate expecting to see her in a couple of hours....

That was the night we moved.  I have no idea why they made me go through all the learning of the various french songs and working on all the arts projects and doing all this cool stuff...I dont know why they couldnt just...like not move for an hour so I would  be able to go to the celebration take part sing my songs and have time to say goodbye.  But instead Im sat in the car thinking we're going to this thing...and suddenly we're driving in the opposite direction...It's then explained that we're moving away. but by that point It's too late.  No goodbyes no nothing...and then....as if orchestrated just to hammer the nail in harder, the fireworrks start going off.  Like Bye sam...This is what you could have won.  and im just sat there with my blue tissue paper torch feeling like my whole heart had just been ripped out.

I found it really hard to make friends after that.  Stars not like me in that aspect she's very personable, she can pretty much get along with anyone and has confidence to chat to strangers and stuff.  Sadly me...Not so much.
