Shimmerstone looked around the house, checking each room before choosing one. "I'll take this room, if it's ok with everypony" he walked up to one room, opened it, and stepped inside. He began placing his pictures on his shelf. He pulled out a box, placed it on his counter and opened it. The only thing he placed in it what the folder that said "Confindential". He closed it and placed a lock on it. After scavenging for anymore items in his bag, he found an old letter left from his father. He read it before but it didn't hurt to reread things.
"Dear Shimmerstone,
How have you been? Pretty sure the rainbow factory is giving enough funds to live somewhere. I'm sorry I couldn't come home last week, but with royal wedding coming up, the Princess asked for more Gaurds to help patrol the castle. I promise, when this is over, I'll take you to Canterlot with me. Don't do anything stupid ok? Take care of yourself.
Love, your father"
Shimmerstone took out another letter
"Dear Shimmerstone,
I hate to bring bad news but your father was killed in action, fighting the changelings. I certainly hope that you'll still be able to take care of yourself.
Sincerely, Princess Celestia"
He tried not to tear up from reading this. He sat down, staring at the floor. "Some things don't live forever, and I got to face the fact that he is gone" Shimmerstone said. He wiped his tears away and put the letters with his pictures on the shelf.
((((I has new episode idea. The one behind the happy mask. Shimmerstone tells the group of what he did at the Rainbow Factory. Not sure how it will affect the story))))
