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!

Yes ma'am. You just keep your eye on the sky an' keep warm. You can stay with me an' Fluttershy 'til we can set you up with a room of your own.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

... Thanks AJ. I'll be waiting. You said a few hours?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Should be. Will you be okay, 'til then?

[Not that she can really do anything from here, but big sis mode is active and there's nothing you can do about it.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

I can last that long. Maybe I'll take Spike outside and get a jump start on training. Or study the Pokedex some more, but I'd really love to see some of them in the wild...

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

I reckon you'll be teachin' me, soon enough. We'll go sightseein' in the mornin', see if we can find ourselves somethin' to catch.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

I'd love that! Using one of these "Pokeballs" would be amazing.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

Ain't nothin' like catching your first pokey-mon. Just ask Rarity. [She snickers.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Rarity? ... I don't follow. What's so funny?

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

We were stayin' in this city called Ecruteak, an' in it there's an old tower that burned down a long time ago. I took Rarity there th'day after Nightmare Night an' taught her how to catch a pokey-mon.

If you could see the look on her face when she first stepped in that broken down ol' buildin'...

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Oh Celestia... Applejack, that was mean of you.

[She says that, but she's laughing regardless.]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles a little.]

Maybe a little, but I reckon she had fun, regardless.

[Though she'd never admit it.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

If you say so.

What did she catch?

[Because seriously, what would you find in a ruined tower?]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

A Magmar, if you'll believe it. Real big guy. I had to lend her my Gravelar so she could beat it. That lil' Meowth a' hers is real cute, but that thing ain't meant for battlin'.

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't really imagine Rarity being one to enjoy that sort of thing anyway. I imagine she'd do it if she had to, but I doubt she'd seek it out. Still, good for her getting something that powerful. I'm sure he'll come in handy.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

For sure. Now she's got someone real big to carry around all her fabrics an' whatnot.

[She kind of feels sorry for the little guy, but Rarity's a sweetheart and she knows she'll treat him right.]

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Oh, I bet without magic she really needs that too, doesn't she?

[So many little things they used to use magic for... Now they have to find new methods.]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

It probably takes some gettin' used to.

[Having never had magic, AJ settled into a human body pretty quickly. It hadn't dawned on her how hard it must be for a unicorn to adjust.]

How... are you handlin' that, Twi?

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

I... I have to admit, it's a pretty big shock. My special talent is magic, and now...

[Now she doesn't have any. It's like her whole purpose in life just up and vanished.]

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

[She nods a couple times.]

How d'you think I feel, havin' to buy apples at the store?

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

True, or Rainbow without her wings... Or Princess Luna without her connection to the moon. I think the only ones of us who can still preform their talents are Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rarity.

[buckyouup.livejournal.com]

An' even they're havin' trouble. But we'll figure things out. It's just makin' the best out of a rough situation, right?

[friendyousohard.livejournal.com]

Right. I'm... just trying not to think about it too hard right now.
