"Honestly, I can't thank you enough for being here with me today, it really means a lot to me."

"But I did have some ulterior motives for bringing you to this place, and don't worry, it's nothing bad- it's just... I wanted to tell you first."

"You know my history well, and about the bullying that came with it. You know how angry I was, about how much resentment I had in my heart for those who victimised me for all those years."

"I remember clearly the night I broke down and I told you everything, the night where you held me as I cried myself to sleep. You held my hoof and showed compassion where so many others showed nothing but callousness."

"You were the first person apart from my parents to ever tell me I wasn't broken, that I didn't need fixing. You told me you couldn't care less if I was missing an eye or not- you said that I was perfect the way I was."

"It took me a long time to realise just what you had set in motion inside of me. By that time, we had fallen for each other, we both confessed our feelings, then made love for the first time under the stars."

"I will never forget that night for as long as I'll live."

"But that's not why I brought you here."

"In truth, I think I've finally come to accept myself for who I am, the very same way you do. It's time for me to be myself. It's time to drop the anger and hatred for those who wronged me. It's time for me to start again and live my life anew."

No longer will I be a neurotic wreck. No more will I go out looking for a fight, and never again will you have to pick me up from the police station. I'm done with that life.

"I... I can truly smile again, for the first time in years... And I owe it all to you for showing me the way to go, for showing me the mare that I should always have been. The mare that I always was deep down. You brought me back, and now there's not a place on this world or the next that I'd rather be than right here with you."

"But whatever hardships we will have to go through in the future, I will face them by your side, forever and always."

"Now let's go get some pizza, I know a great place - come on, it's just down the road!"
