[Choco's grinning face could be seen as soon as the screen lights up.]

Hi everyone! I'm back! It's been a long time, huh? Things have been really crazy...

Oh, but I wanna show you guys something. It's really important...

[He digs around off to the side for a moment before pulling back up, holding a golden tag with a pink crest.]

Tadah! Fluttershy finally got her crest! Isn't it neat? Kindness really does suit her the best...



Choco, what are you doing?

[He pouts at the Floramon.] I'm just showing everyone Fluttershy's new crest...

[She rolls her eyes.] Would you stop goofing around? Gimme that...

[She starts to take the D-Terminal from him, but Choco holds on, and there's a shaky view of the ceiling as the two start tugging at the device.]

No, leggo! This is what I do - !

[Please excuse as the feed cuts out.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She nodded.] I'm sure it was...I ran into some people who were affected by the virus pretty badly, so I can only imagine what it must have been like for all of you...I'm sorry you had to go through something like that.

[for_granite]

Sorry others had to deal with me is more like it... And you, how's it been?

[strengthinkindness]

I-It wasn't just you, though. A lot of others were having...trouble when they were affected by the virus. It's not any of your fault.

I-I...I-I'm doing all right...

M-Mostly...

[for_granite]

You need anything? Kinda dropped the ball, before, so...I wanna help you out, if you need it. Friends, right?

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods.] Of course we're friends. B-But I think I...

[She pauses mid-sentence, a thoughtful expression suddenly on her face.]

A-Actually, I...I might need a favor...I-I mean, if...if that's all right...

[for_granite]

Of course. Name it.

[strengthinkindness]

W...W-We need to get together sometime. You, me...and Beastboy.

[for_granite]

[And there goes the eager voice.] Oh. ...Uh. Oh.

Um, Fluttershy, I haven't exactly talked to him in-- uh, the last time we did was... I dunno if I'm ready to.

[strengthinkindness]

I...I-I know...H-He did tell me a little what happened, and...I-I know it...i-it might be difficult...for both of you. A-And...I would never normally ask you to do something you weren't comfortable with...

B-But...we really do need to talk. All three of us. B-Because...[She hesitates for a moment, glancing away.] S-Something...Something happened, a-after the last time you two...talked, and...

The three of us really just...need to discuss it.

[for_granite]

[Terra's brow furrows a little. She's...confused, and slowly nods, not understanding what, but. Well, if Fluttershy's asking her...]

...Gimme a few days, okay?

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods.] All right...Thanks, Terra...

[for_granite]

[She sighs and tries to brighten.]

Anything else?

[strengthinkindness]

N-No, I...I think I'm all right otherwise...Thank you though.

[for_granite]

Alright. I'll, uh...let you know, few days from now.

[strengthinkindness]

Okay...

I'm...sorry about all this.

[for_granite]

Don't be. I gotta stop...running from my problems.

[strengthinkindness]

Still...it doesn't make it any easier.

B-But...maybe it'll at least be a little more bearable...together?

[for_granite]

[A weak smile.]

S'ppose so.
