Second Horror: Christmas Time Terror

[promfromhell]

[A. Action for Housemates: Carrie has slowly been getting used to Mayfield. Very slowly. The most important thing she has to cope with, Mamma isn't here. Mamma isn't here so there's no one to yell at her, make her wear horrible clothing, lock her in her closet. But people show up here, and she doesn't have her power anymore. She's defenceless again

Why, of course! It's a rather common talent where I come from.

[frilly_filly]

Oh... I'm sorry.

Have you made many friends here?

[promfromhell]

I don't have friends.

[frilly_filly]

[It takes her a moment to process that statement. That just isn't a thing in Ponyville.]

...Oh. I'm sorry, it was rude of me to pry. But if you wouldn't think it too presumptuous of me to suggest such a thing, I could be your friend.

[promfromhell]

......why would you want to be my friend?

[Honestly confused and a little wary.]

[frilly_filly]

Why?

[Honestly surprised over here.]

Because you seem like a perfectly nice girl, and you sound as though you could use one. Isn't it lonely, living without friends?

[promfromhell]

no....no one ever wants to be my friend....

When they say they do. They're just trying to play a trick on me to hurt me more...

I have...

[I have mamma....no...mamma is dead. and she was never there for you]

I'm...always like that. Alone.

Are you trying to trick me too?

[frilly_filly]

That's terrible! Nopony should have to endure that kind of treatment! I assure you, I am not trying to trick you. You have my word.

[promfromhell]

[There's a pause. And then...the quietest...saddest voice. This is a voice of a child that has seen her hopes being smashed in front of her and then had her face rubbed in it, far too many times to count.]

Really?

....I'd....like that.

[frilly_filly]

Wonderful! Well, then, if we're going to be friends, I should say we're long overdue for an introduction, wouldn't you? My name is Rarity.

[promfromhell]

I'm...Carrie.

[frilly_filly]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Carrie. If you wouldn't think it too forward of me to ask this sort of question immediately following introductions, what sorts of hobbies do you have? I happen to be an aspiring fashion designer, myself.

[promfromhell]

...I like to make dresses.

Repetitive pony is repetitive, orz

[frilly_filly]

Well, then, it seems we already have something in common!
