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 shakes her head.]

Unfortunately, we do not. Initially, we suspected a powerful magic user was behind this. However... magic doth not work in this world.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

None? I'd thought it was just a side effect of the transformation, but... you're saying there's no magic at all? From anypony?

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

Nay, Twilight Sparkle. The only thing that might be considered magic... come from the pokemon.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

I see. So we really are dependent on them...

Well then, there's only one thing for me to do. As my special talent is magic, and the closest thing to it in this world is the Pokemon, I have to learn as much about working with them as I possibly can!

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

[She gives a bit of a laugh.]

We wish thou luck in that endeavor. There art many different types of Pokemon in this world.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Good! That's more to learn. To study. To know!

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

[She gives her a smile.]

Thou mustn't get too focused on thou's studies, Twilight Sparkle. After all, thou will not remember the knowledge thou has gained when thou departs from this world.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

... What?

[This is a look of extreme disappointment.]

I won't remember any of it?

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

[Have a challenging eyebrow raise.]

Doth thou remember any of the knowledge thou hast gained the previous time thou was here?

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

... No. No I don't.

[She slumps.]

And that's proof enough... so what's the point of all this then, if we aren't even going to remember it?

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

[She gives a shrug.]

We art afraid that thou's answer is as good as ours at this point. We have no explanation as to why we art here, in what manner we arrived, or any possible way to get back to Equestria.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

There must be a reason... I'll find it, somehow. One more thing to add to the to-do list.

[Yes, she is making a checklist in her head. Yes, there will probably be a physical one soon enough.]

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Tis an accomplishment we wish to achieve as well.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

We can work together on it then... if you'd like.

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

We would enjoy that, Twilight Sparkle!

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Terrific! It'll take me a bit of time to catch up on common information around here, but I'll work as quickly as I can.

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

[She gives a laugh.]

Tis no rush, Twilight Sparkle.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Maybe not, but I'm still going to work as quickly as I can.

[Because, really, what else does she have to do?]

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

If that is what thou wishes.

[Point.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Surely you didn't expect anything different.

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

From what Celestia has said about thou? We would be surprised if thou was not ready to learn about this new world.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Well, what can I say? It's what I do.

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

And we can not say we art not grateful for that fact.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Erm, grateful? I'm not entirely certain I understand.

[mare-moon.livejournal.com]

[She raises an eyebrow.]

It t'was thou who came across the Elements of Harmony and Nightmare Moon in thou's studies, was it not? Or am I mixing thou up with the other Element of Magic?

[Yeah, she's totally teasing you.]
