Gilda wants to be friends with RD again. Last time she was in town she sort of... made every one of Dash's friends her enemy, but especially Fluttershy. She will do anything that she can to get her best friend back. Even... apologize.
It is told from the perspective of Tank, who is simply sitting in Rainbow Dash's home, and each day Gilda speaks with him about what happened, because who else is she going to tell?

Radiant had a normal childhood for the most part until she turned 16. Then it got a bit sad. She got her cutie mark later than most ponies, and was shunned by many because of it. This is her growing up, and becoming the mare of ill repute that she is today! Don't worry though, nothing of ill repute happens until after this story is over. Well... nothing serious at least. ;)

The comedy part doesn't really show up at all until the second chapter, unless you have a dark sense of humor like me... >:) Though I will try to make much more fun and happy chapters than sad ones, though I do have another sad one planned and ready to be written, but that doesn't happen until after Prance.

What if your whole life was a lie? You found something you were good at, and it made people proud of you, so you made a fake cutie mark and kept on doing it. You were successful, and were growing in fame, but you were never happy. That happened to me... so I ran away. I've tried many things, and I've been good at them, but none of it made me happy. What is my purpose? Why can't I find my place? I've made it to adulthood without finding my special talent, but I don't care any more! *sobs* I... I just want to be happy.
