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!

[Now that was a response she didn't really expect.]

F-Fluttershy? What is it? What's wrong? Why are you crying?

[She has shifted gears from confused to very worried now.]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

I-I thought I wouldn't see you again for months! Or maybe never again! B-but you're here, and, and, and everypony's here, and...

[soooo happy.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

[She listens closely. She may not really understand what everyone's saying about her being here before, but clearly she has been, and now she's seeing the effect on her friends.

Questions can wait. She shifts her expression into a warm, comforting smile.]

Don't worry. I'm here now. Everything's going to be okay.

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[She hiccups a bit, and flimsily tries to brush away her tears with her fingers.]

Yes, it will be... I'm so happy to see you again.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Where are you? It'd be better to do this in person.

[Because really, you sound like you need a hug or several.]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

W-we're still in Goldenrod...

[... wait a minute.]

Do you remember...?

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

I... I'm sorry, Fluttershy, everyone keeps telling me I've been here before, but I don't remember anything about it.

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

It's okay, it's just... Um... While there's a lot of things you should know, there's one big thing that... I'm not sure... h-how to say...

[She suddenly ducks her face behind her hair, but from what you can see, she is blushing very deeply.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Take your time. I've got a lot to think about already, I don't think adding one more to the list can possibly make that much of a difference.

[Oh Twilight, so unsuspecting...]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[You asked for it. She begins tugging on her hair, very nervous.]

Applejack and I... We're... We're kind of... Sort of...

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Applejack? What's happened between you two, Fluttershy?

[She can't imagine them getting into a fight, but what could Fluttershy be so nervous about telling her that involves AJ?]

Is it something I can help with?

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head.]

N-No... You see, we're... we're d-d-d-ddating!

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Dating? You mean, as in-

[Well, this is a shock. Twilight's mind reels for a bit as she tries to wrap her head around this.]

Wow. I mean... That's surprising. No, I meant... Congratulations! [Yes, that's it, that's the right word for this situation isn't it?]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[She keeps her eyes averted, oh gosh and golly.]

Thank you...? I mean, we're still going to be friends with you, and everypony, and we won't let this ruin anything!

[though things have been reconciled with other ponies, she wants to make sure it doesn't happen again with her.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

[Twi's response may surprise her, however.]

... Wait what? Fluttershy, how would this ruin anything? I mean... I'll admit I'm pretty surprised, but isn't falling in love a good thing?

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

Well... Rarity and Rainbow Dash didn't take it so well at first... but everything's fine now, really! We're all okay again.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

...

I think I need to have a little talk with them.

[Protectiveness mode engaged!]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[oh nooo-]

But everything's okay, I really! They accepted it! We talked and apologized and cried and hugged and everything!

[she doesn't want to get the others in trouble ;; ]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

... You mean they apologized, right? You don't have anything to apologize for.

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I did... I kept avoiding them when I found out they were uncomfortable... and we both felt bad for springing it on them all of a sudden...

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

That's not your fault. It's not like this came upon you two any less suddenly, right?

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[Blush!]

Sort of? I had no idea Applejack liked me... that way... Until she told me. I've never dated or liked a pony that way before, I really am clueless about all of this...

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

I wish I could give you advice, but I'm as lost as you are. Probably more so, I don't even know what it's like to be in love.

[She's blushing right back though. Odd...]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

... It's very nice.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

You two... make each other happy, right? That's all that's important.

That's what the Princess told me once, anyway.
