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!

[Confused egghead, have a headstrong southern belle.]

T-Twilight! What in tarnation are you doin' all the way back in New Bark? I was gettin' worried that we lost you!

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about? I just got-

Wait, is this related to what Princess Luna told me about me being here before?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

[Blink.]

Depends on what she was sayin'. [And how loud, too.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Applejack, as far as I know I just woke up here a little bit ago. Princess Luna was the first one I got in contact with and she welcomed me back.

So... I guess I've been here before, but I don't remember any of it.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

[She sighs quietly.]

...I was afraid of that. I've heard stories of folks gettin' sent back from this place, then comin' back later with no memories. But this is the first time I've seen it, myself.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

It's really kind of disturbing... I have to wonder what the last "me" did that I should know about, or if those memories are still inside me somewhere.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

You weren't here for too long, really. You got really sick, but I reckon that it was all cleared up when you were sent back.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Sick? Sick with what? Do you think I could get it again?

[She's not panicking, but that's definitely got her worried.]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I reckon the flu, what with how chilly it's been lately. Try an' bundle up, alright? Rarity's got a whole mess a' warm clothes waitin' for you here.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Oh. Just... that. I thought it was some strange human disease.

[She kind of slumps in embarrassed relief.]

Yeah. Don't worry, I'll keep warm.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't worry too much. Humans an' ponies don't seem so different, once you get over how weird their bodies look.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Well, that's a relief. Especially since I'm going to have to hike for quite a while to reach you girls.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Hike? All the way here? In the freezin' cold? I ain't lettin' that happen, sugarcube. I'd bet good apples that that's what got you sick in the first place!

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Well what else am I supposed to do? I can't just stay in this town until winter passes! I've got some supplies, I should be alright.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I got a pal here in Goldenrod who can fly you here on one a' his pokey-mon. You'll be here in a few hours, 'stead of a few weeks.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

... Wait really? That's amazing! What sort of Pokemon is it?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Depends on which one he picks. He seems to only train birds. He's got a Noctowl, a Pidgeot, an a Skarmory, among others, I'm sure.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

[She takes a moment to look those up.]

Wow, those are all amazing... Do we have anything like that? Actually, can you tell me what Pokemon you girls all have?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I reckon you can meet the team when you get here, but I've got nine pokey-mon so far. They're all gettin' real strong, since I seem to be the only one of the group interestin' in fightin' the gyms an' all.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Not the only one anymore.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

[Oho~]

Really, Twi? Thinkin' about puttin' the books down an' steppin' in the ring? Sounds real interestin' to me.

[She's teasing, of course, but it doesn't change the fact that she's surprised to see her friend so excited about battles.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

On the contrary, AJ. I'm going to be using all the texts I can find to help me assemble a powerful team. Though it looks like most of what I'll need I can find on the Pokedex. Very handy.

[Hey, she's been given an assignment, at least that's how she sees it. And she's gonna see it through.]

Though... Are you telling me Rainbow isn't interested in fighting the Leaders? Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie I understand, but I thought she'd be all over that.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

We've been havin' our own little competitions, for sure. In the park nearby they have bug catchin' contests every once in a while. I reckon we scared a way a few competitors with how bad we were goin' at each other.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Bug catching, huh? Who won that one? Or did Fluttershy join in and beat you both?

[Because if there was one pony she could imagine excelling at a contest like that more than any other, it was Fluttershy.]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

You know it. Me an' Dash captured the biggest an' toughest bugs we could find, but by the time Fluttershy was done, half the park wanted t'leave with her. Quantity beats out quality somtimes, I reckon.
