friendyousohard | 15th Spell: [Video/Action for Violet City]

[Wrapped up in the snuggest winter coat she could find and a decent muffler, Twilight thought she'd been fairly well prepared for the rigors of flying on dragonback in winter.

She was wrong. As Spike touches down outside of the entrance to the Violet City Pokemon Center, she's shaking like a leaf from the cold. Maybe it's just that she had him fly so fast... or, well, the weather and how high they'd been in the air probably had something to do with it, too. Either way, she's still frigid, and she doubts her friend sitting behind her is doing any better.]

Th-th-th-thank you, S-S-Spike. [She slides off his back, wincing a little as her legs make it plain how upset they are at her for keeping them in a riding position for so long. She staggers a bit, leaning against her Dragonite before she gets her balance and offers a hand to Fluttershy.]

C-c-come o-o-on. L-l-lets get inside q-q-quickly.

[Once Fluttershy is off and a tired looking Spike is returned to his ball, they quickly make their way inside where it's blessedly warm. One drop off of their Pokemon to be treated later, and Twilight's sitting in a chair with her Pokegear on, ready to ask an important question.]

Video:

So, what's the best way to keep yourself warm while flying on Pokeback in the middle of winter? I bundled up to what I thought was a decent amount, but I'm still freezing!

Also, Fluttershy and I are now in Violet, where we'll be staying until... probably the new year, at least. We're hoping to see you soon, Rainbow.

Filtered to the PGC (insanely strong):

And I realize I'm probably fairly late on this, but if anyone's running an investigation on what happened in the gym and you want my help, consider me at your disposal.

Well it kind of feels weird, but people being taken from different spots on the timeline isn't odd for Johto. Apparently we just don't remember it when we go back home.

[She's just a little stunned by that reaction.]

Er... well, yes. Yes I'm really a unicorn. I didn't realize that was so amazing.

*Cough, awkward, eheh.*

When I was a kid unicorns were my faaaaavorite. I mean, they aren't real where I'm from. Neither are Pegasi, just in stories and legends and books.

I guess if I can't spend the holidays with Fiones, Eli, and Dad. Hanging out with a Unicorn and a Pegasus isn't too bad.

Oh, right. Unicorns and Pegasi are mythical creatures to most humans. I sort of knew that from talking to other people, but it's still weird to think about. I mean, it's not like we have human myths.

Two Pegasi, actually. Fluttershy will be there.

Well, humans aren't too special. You have magic, a pegasus can fly, we have thumbs. Not that thumbs suck, they're great, but it isn't very mythical.

I- Um- didn't want to be rude and ask you what Fluttershy was. Or assume she was something when it is best to figure I don't know anything.

You don't need magic or flight to be special. Earth ponies are as special and unique as any unicorn or pegasus, and the same goes for humans.

Oh, I wouldn't call it rude. I mean, there's no way to tell while we're in these human bodies, right? It's only natural to be curious.

I suppose, I do need thumbs to help fix my hair up in the morning. I don't think I could do that with flying. Maybe magic, not sure it would be as much fun with magic.

I didn't mean it'd be rude to ask, I meant it would be rude to ask you. It's much more a question to ask her. That's all.

There are all sorts of questions I only ask to the person in question! Even if I'm curious.

Oh I wouldn't be so sure. Magic tends to be fun in and of itself.

Ah, yes, that makes sense... have you talked to Fluttershy yet, out of curiosity?

I like touchin' things. Playing with hair, fuzzy socks, a pencil as I doodle in my binder while the teacher is sure I'm listening to the really boring parts of history class. Magic is cool, but thumbs definitely make touching stuff easier. Making stuff with my hands? Yeah, I need that in my life.

Uh-uh. Just you and Rainbow Dash.
