1st Spell: [Video]

[friendyousohard]

Er... I think this is how it works.

Um... greetings. Er... I mean, hello. Or... well, whatever humans say in a situation like this. Is there proper etiquette for when you've been captured to another planet and had your species changed?

[Twilight is interrupted by a Dratini sticking his head into the camera, curious.]

Spike, cut that out. Um... and if the other Spike is seeing this, I promise, I named him after you, he's not a replacement.

Speaking of people listening to this, can anypony tell me if there is an Applejack, a Fluttershy, a Rarity, a Rainbow Dash, or a Pinkie Pie around? They're all very close friends of mine and I'd very much like to get in touch with them. As for me, I'm Twilight Sparkle.

I guess that's all I have for now...

Wait, no. One more question. How do you humans walk with two legs? I feel like I'm going to fall flat on my face!

[She smiles... then remembers!]

That's right, one of the Princesses is here! Princess Luna! She kind of talks weird and sometimes shouts, but she's very nice too.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

I know. She was the first to respond to me when I arrived, she told me you all were here. You have no idea how relieved I was.

She's still working on talking normally, but I think she's come a long way since Nightmare Night.

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... Twilight, this is going to sound strange, but... I've never really met Princess Luna before here. And, if it helps... I don't know who 'Discord' is either. Time works weird there.

[BRB rebooting.]

You're saying... you don't remember anything of the past few months from back home?

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

It's not that I don't remember... I just haven't been there 'yet'. The last thing I did in Ponyville before coming here was the Grand Galoping Gala.

[She thinks that over for a moment.]

So... they can take us from different times, too?

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

And when we go back, we return from the second we left, without remembering what happened.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Well at least we get back without missing any time. That explains how there aren't any paradoxes.

But the whole "without remembering" part... it seems to make the whole thing pointless.

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

I don't know about pointless... I've seen so many cute Pokemon here!

[clearly that's the most important thing.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, I'm sure they're all amazing and I'd love to learn more about them, but... we won't remember them when we go home either, right?

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[ ): ): ): ): ]

I really wish we could... I've been with them for so long, and they're been nice to me.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

How... how long exactly, Fluttershy?

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[She pauses, trying to count.]

Oh... almost a year, I think.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

And... for how long were you... alone?

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

It wasn't that long, it was just... Everypony left, one by one...But! It's okay now! Because you're all here now.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

I... see.

Hold on a moment, alright? I think there's a map in here somewhere... I'm going to find out how to get to you as soon as possible.

[And she is going to hug you forever.]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

You can take your time, we won't be going anywhere anytime soon. We want to keep Pinkie safe, and have Rarity get shopping done so she can make clothes, and Applejack wants to win the badge, and we're waiting for Princess Luna and Apple Bloom to get here, so it's all okay.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Apple Bloom's here too?

Wait, what do you mean by "keeping Pinkie safe"? What happened to her? Is somepony after her?

Private

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

Oh, um, well... There is this group of bad guys, called Team Rocket. They steal Pokemon and hurt people. Sometimes when people arrive here, they're already accidentally joined up with them. The Rockets said anyone who was part of their gang had to help them do bad things, and if they didn't, they'd report them to the police. Of course Pinkie didn't want to help them, so we've been keeping her safe from the Rockets and the police.

Private

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

...

Team Rocket, is it? Well, now I think I've got another goal in mind for this place.

Private

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

Huh...?

Private

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

When Spike and I get strong enough, and I've got a real team assembled...

I'm going to make them pay.

Private

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

B-but Twilight! They're so many of them, and they're so strong!

Private

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Then I'll be stronger. They won't get away with what they've done to her.

Private

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

Oh, please be careful...
