1. INJURY. You've been injured. Broken bones or bleeding out or maybe just a tiny little papercut. The choice is yours.
2. SICKNESS. You're sick and laid up in bed, at home or in a hospital. The severity is up to you.
3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though...
6. BREAKUP. You've been dumped. You need someone to comfort you, possibly by the one who dumped you.
7. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to makeup.
8. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.
9. BAD ROMANCE. Fight, cheated on, abused, whatever the case is, someone else can clearly see you need comfort from someone who isn't your terrible lover tonight.
10. LOSS. You've experience a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.
11. INSANITY. You're seeing things that aren't really there, hearing voices, or you're just convinced you're at your wit's end finally and you're going to crack. Maybe someone can give you a helping hand.
12. TIRED. You've had a heard life recently and you're just worn too thin to really care anymore. There's no fight left in you anymore. Can someone help change your mind?
13. ADDICTION. Drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or any other type of addiction has got you in its grasp. First time or relapse. Will someone be able to save you?
14. INSOMNIA. You can't sleep anymore, no matter how hard you try. Maybe someone can give you company.
15. NIGHTMARES. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can't sleep without gruesome, horrible nightmares. Either someone is stuck in your dream with you, witnessing it or they're just waking you up, soothing you out of it.
16. BLACKMAIL. You've been caught doing something you shouldn't and you were blackmailed because of it
17. SEPARATION. You're going to be separated for awhile or were separated for a long time. Either make up for lost time or try to spend every last moment together.
18. SINS. You're feeling the weight of your sins and guilt clearer than ever. Can someone give you absolution or lessen the ache any?
21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...

"Imagine how I feel, with the sun and the moon and the seasons and the clouds all doing their own thing. And so uncontrolled as well! I think the pony way is better, if I may be allowed my opinion." No weather disasters, for one. No droughts. No unseasonal temperatures spoiling crops...

[light_of_willpower]

Trunks didn't reply right away, quiet and being sure of his words. "No, I can imagine how you feel. But I also imagine the responsibility is huge. I also worry--what if your power was in hands..."

An aside glance, and a hint of sheepishness. "Sorry, Hooves. That weren't so beneficial or good-natured."

[letteropener]

"Nopony is an alicorn who does not deserve to be," Celestia said simply. "And no threat to Equestria has ever withstood it. Ponykind has the power it needs to stop such evils in spades."

[light_of_willpower]

So alicorns weren't born, but made... Interesting. "Probably better then that humans don't have similar abilities, considering what we see." Because as Gods and shinki, they did see enough of both the good and the bad of humanity.

[letteropener]

Well... that wasn't entirely true, but nonetheless. "I feel humans are unfortunate, not to have things like cutie marks. But truly, humans and ponykind are quite alike."

[light_of_willpower]

He agreed, and then shifted. Trying to turn his head, getting to his feet, trying to get a look at his own flank. "Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what the heck mine means." It was a logo--he knew that much. It was also on a jacket he'd somehow gotten. Gohan and Mai had mentioned it belonged to a company.

[letteropener]

Celestia hid her smile behind one hoof as Trunks turned. "A good question, but it relates to your special talent -- the one thing that makes you stand out."

[light_of_willpower]

A complete circle, then standing up and stretching, and just---nope. Neck wasn't long enough. "So my special talent is a corporate logo?" Turning to Celestia with a flat look, one brow raised.

[letteropener]

Celestia was not above appreciating the view. Not that he would ever know, since her expression was a perfect poker face, revealing nothing of her inner thoughts. "It is a symbol, not a statement. You may think mine is obvious, but in reality, Princess of the Day is much more complex than simply raising and lowering the sun."

[light_of_willpower]

There is a huff, including a sigh that puffed his bangs, and Trunks sat back down. "So, my symbol is a corporate logo. That really doesn't help things much."

[letteropener]

"It is going to be a mystery, I'm afraid," Celestia said with gentle sympathy. "You know the dangers of probing too much into your own past."

[light_of_willpower]

Again that eloquent snort, showing how unamused he was. But it was his only comment for now. Letting the quiet return for several moments, before speaking softly. "Mai didn't tell me much about where she was from, but I did gather enough to know that she wasn't able to watch clear skies like this often. I joked about getting her a hammock, for when she wanted to lay out and watch the stars."

[letteropener]

"I would get you a hammock, but it seems you have another option," Celestia said, tapping the cloud gently with one hoof.

[light_of_willpower]

A quiet chuckle was her response, the smile somewhat returning. "I don't think I'd use it, even with this better option. I'd be too focused on other stuff." Restless, most likely. It was easier with company to be still.

[letteropener]

"Stopping and smelling the roses is not exactly your strength," Celestia agreed with a smile. "Though I am glad you occasionally do nonetheless."

[light_of_willpower]

"I'm learning." Trunks agreed as well, tilting his head. "Part of that also means remembering to have fun too." Besides training, because that was fun for him, but also could be overdone--and he knew it. "So shall we head to the Near Shore? Find an all-night Arcade or something--play some games."

[letteropener]

"Oh, that WOULD be fun! We'll have to change, though." Of course, she meant their physical forms -- though in her case that would naturally include clothing.

[light_of_willpower]

"Well yes." A moment, then adding. "Which means I should probably also change clothes to something actually appropriate, rather than comfy for sleeping in." His tank top and pants were fine for training or sleeping, but he'd stand out in the areas they'd probably be heading to. And not in good ways.

"As usual, I'm sure you'll put my lack of fashion to shame though with your class." Teasing himself a bit as well. Chinatsu certainly enjoyed arguing with him about clothing choices.

[letteropener]

"Shall we go back now, then, or wait out here a minute more?"

It was nice out here, just the two of them and the sky, she had to admit.
