15 Butterflies | Video

[There's static on the screen for a moment before it clears, and Fluttershy waves a bit shyly into the camera.]

H...H-Hello everyone, um...I...hope you're all doing well.

S-So I...I've learned a little about...Christmas, which is...coming up, right? A-And it's actually very similar to a holiday we celebrate in Equestria...wh-where I'm from. S-So I...I-I was thinking that I'd...like to give gifts to people. I-I mean if...if that's all right...

I have...some ideas for what to give people, b-but, um...i-if you wouldn't mind, could you...maybe let me know what you'd like as a gift? I...can't really promise much, but I'm...pretty good at knitting...I think...

S-So if...everyone could let me know what you'd like...I'll do my best to make it. E-Even...if you don't celebrate Christmas...or Hearth's Warming Eve like I do...I'd still like to give you something...if that's okay...

[She hesitates for a moment before turning the D-Terminal off.]

Oh just everything...! I-I've heard some things about it, b-but I really would like to know more...

Oh...

Well, they could be similar.

I want it to show how much I...care for him.

[It can't be just for anything.]

Well...I can tell you if you want. But you have to do something for me.

[Yes, there's a catch.]

Christmas...! It's a human holiday, that involves family, and friends, and giving presents to those you care about.

Oh, but...I would still like to give you something...

You can't read Japanese?

[ She's not the first person Rin's come across like that, but now she's thinking. ]

Animals huh? All right, I'll keep an eye out. Shouldn't be that hard to find something like that.

Oh? What do I need to do?

...I want something to eat. And some shampoo for my hair.

[She shakes her head.] I've tried learning a little, but...I still don't really understand.

Thank you so much...! I'd love to learn all about the animals of this world. I'm sure there are lots that I've never heard of before...

You think so?

[Educate him, Pony-Sempai.]

What do you do on your holidays?

Oh...all right.

[It seemed like an odd request, but it wasn't too difficult.]

What would you like to eat?

Food. What else?

[Translation: I'll be happy with anything.]

Just make it quick.

[Translation: I'm hungry and I can't remember the last time I ate.]

Well...I-I'm still learning about Christmas, so I...can't say much about that yet. But on Hearth's Warming Eve, we set up decorations and lights, and we make all kinds of special food for the holiday. And we sing songs...

A-And of course there's the Hearth's Warming Eve play that reminds us why we celebrate...

O-Okay...

[Maybe she can grab some things in the cafeteria.]

Where should I meet you?

Hmm...What are some things Mikey likes?

[Duo blinks.]

Uh...

[Immediately, he gets up, D-Terminal in hand, and actually runs out of his room and the apartment. It doesn't take long for him to hold up the camera to focus on the room number: 10.

He shows back up on the screen after that.]

I'm on the second floor. The gears--I mean, Solarmon will be here. Got it?

[She nods.]

All right. I'll be there in a little while...

Good.

[Duo nods and goes back inside to sit on the couch to wait, Solarmon hovering somewhere in the background.]

[Eventually there's a knock on the door, Fluttershy standing carrying a bag of food hanging from one arm, and a bottle of shampoo in the other.]

Hello? I'm here...

[Duo at least has the presence of mind to go open the door for Fluttershy. See? He's not a complete jerk of a kid.]

Hi. Is that all the stuff for me?

[She smiles as she steps inside, being careful of the contents in the bag.]

Yes...I wasn't sure what you would like, so I just brought an assortment of things.

That's good. You can go sit down on the couch. I said I'd tell you about Christmas, so come on.

[He points at the couch as he shuts the door behind Fluttershy.]

...So ya just...give stuff to people?

[Didn't seem like a bad holiday. Not commemorating anyone's death or a war victory. Okay, that last one's kind of cool.]

Just give him food, Miss Fluttershy! He won't turn that down!

[She nods, heading over to the couch and placing the bag down carefully before taking a seat herself.]

Oh, I also have the shampoo here...

[She holds up the bottle for him to see before placing it down as well.]

[She nods.] Just something to show that you care, and that you're grateful for them...

I could do that...I-I wouldn't be able to make it myself though...

[Then again, she does make pretty good soup.]
