1st Spell: [Video]

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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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

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

[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.]

Oh... right, of course. Sorry, I just... I find it so strange when somepony thanks me for that, especially of your, ah... stature. I just did what I thought I had to do. And I would have messed it all up if the others hadn't insisted on coming along.

Pray tell, what is so strange about it? Thou hast saved us from ourselves. Tis nothing to be taken lightly.

Well... if you think about it logically, I suppose it isn't strange. It's just... I don't know if I can explain it properly. I know, intellectually, why you feel that way, and I consider it an honor to have helped you like that. But I don't... feel like the mare that broke the curse of Nightmare Moon, at least most of the time. Does that make any sense?

[She gives a nod.]

We suppose in a certain way it does. Though, we art curious. In what manner doth thou not think thou is the same Twilight Sparkle that saved us?

[In short... yes, but no.]

The mare who liberated you from the influence of Nightmare Moon and saved Equestria is a heroine. I... I'm just a librarian, the biggest claim to importance I have is being Princess Celestia's student. I find it difficult to reconcile the two.

[In short? She just plain doesn't have the self-esteem to see herself as a global heroine. Which... might be a good thing, really, I mean that's one heck of an ego.]

Be that as it may, thou is the same mare who has accomplished all that. Tis something thou must deal with.

I'm trying to, but I've been finding it difficult to research the subject. [That might have been a joke.]

... Do you have any advice? [Because, really, if anypony knows how to deal with something like that it's the princesses.]

[She'll give you a smile for your efforts. However, her smile turns a bit sad as she considers what to say.]

We believe our situations are a bit different, Twilight Sparkle. Thou hast done wondrous things that have done nothing but help Equestria. We... hath not.

That isn't true. If nothing else, ignoring all the daily duties of a Princess and your rule over the night, you defeated Discord and liberated all of Equestria.

Indeed. But thou must remember... t'was before we attempted to control Equestria in an eternal night.

That doesn't change the fact that you did it. Equestria owes a lot to you. And I don't believe for a second that that's the only selfless thing you've done for the ponies who look to you and Celestia for guidance.

[She shakes her head.]

Even still, we have a lot to make up for. Tis hard for most ponies to forgive.

I think you're the one having the hardest time forgiving yourself, Princess.

[She gives a shrug.]

Perhaps. However, the most telling are the attitudes of our citizens.

I wouldn't know about anypony outside of Ponyville, I'm afraid.

Even the actions of thou's friends reveal infinitely more than their words.

[She looks like Luna just slapped her in the face.]

And just what does that mean?

[She waves a hand.]

Tis of no matter. We art simply letting our emotions get the best of us once more. Our apologizes for bringing it up.

When art thou arriving in Goldenrod?

[She's not all that eager to drop the subject, not when it seems pretty obvious that Luna's holding some sort of grudge against the others, but she acqueisces to the Princess's wishes... for now.]

I talked to Applejack. She said if a friend of hers would be willing to have me picked up by one of his flying Pokemon, I could get there in a few hours.

[~~Feel free to ask her about it if and when the Celestia that reserved apps, gets accepted and is flown to Goldenrod to be with everyone else. Although, by then it might be obvious.~~]

[She gives a nod.]

We look forward to meeting thou in person, Twilight Sparkle.

[~~Not a fair comparison, Twilight would point out. AJ could easily have just not made that particular friend yet when Luna had arrived.~~]

And you as well, Princess. I'll be a lot more at ease when we're all together.

[Tis a completely fair comparison, Luna would retort. Especially since Applejack was certainly more than able to fly Rarity as well as Rainbow Dash to Ecruteak City when they arrived. Which was before Luna arrived.]]

Indeed! Tis strange fort everypony to be so far apart.
