(The screen flashed on to show Rainbow, who was still a pony, but her expression was of someone who's entire world had just come crashing down around her. She was holding onto a ring that appeared to resemble the shape of a star.

Specifically...a Cutie Mark.)

...Twilight's gone. Don't know exactly when it happened, but I think it was sometime last night that she was taken back to Ponyville. I...I don't think it's like what happened to Fluttershy...

I know other people knew her who weren't from our world, and for anyone who took time to know her...to know the mare I loved...thanks. You earned a true friend in Twilight.

(It's quick, but Rainbow does offer a small smile of gratitude before the screen goes black.)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Oh no...

[adashofloyalty]

...Yeah.

(She's a little surprised, but not too much; Trixie did give them all her puppets for Christmas presents, and Twilight's was right next to Rainbow's.)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Trixie...

[takes a breath to collect herself]

Trixie expresses her condolences. Rainbow Dash was surely closer to Twilight Sparkle then Trixie.

...if Rainbow Dash requires company of a sort Trixie would be happy to perhaps meet her at the cafe.

Perhaps with ice cream.

[adashofloyalty]

...Chocolate mixed with peanut butter?

(A weird concoction Pinkie had her try once, which was actually really good in the long run.)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

[gasp]

Trixie is intrigued by this proposal. Peanut butter is her flavor of choice.

...dare you to race the most fleet footed of Unicorns? It has been said when Trixie flees it is amazingly fast.

[and cowardly but that goes without saying]

[adashofloyalty]

...Seriously? You wanna race me?

(Not only has Rainbow started flying already, but if this is a ploy to get her to feel better...it's halfway working. The ice cream may take care of the rest)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

[it was a ploy, but Trixie will run anyway. Dash will see her once she's outside racing for the cafe, hooves flying for all she's worth. She doesn't stand a chance]

[adashofloyalty]

(Nope! Rainbow's already at a seat by the time this sentence is finished -more or less.)

We said you were paying, right o Great & Powerful one?

(Twilight wouldn't approve. Either way, she's kidding.)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

[she flops into her seat less then gracefully.]

T-Trixie supposes [pant] it was her idea to come here.

[dabbing at her face with a napkin, seriously how do humans not get how functional hooves are?]

[adashofloyalty]

(Rainbow laughs a little at seeing the less than graceful 'flop' from Trixie but nods. IF she does wanna pay, who is she to stop her?)

Yeah! And make sure there are no sprinkles on it.

(They're probably just too used to hands and not hooves.)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

[she blows an errant strand of her mane out of her face]

Rainbow Dash does not like sprinkles? Trixie is surprised. They are usually as colorful as your mane.

[adashofloyalty]

Eh, they're too crunchy when it comes to ice cream. And Pinkie says you don't put sprinkles on the 3 most common flavors of ice cream: vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.

(Sure there's peanut butter in this, but chocolate's still part of Dash's.)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Hmm...very well. Trixie will concede to Pinkie Pie's sprinkle related wisdom.

[when the digimon waiter comes she orders and also a fruit juice]

Trixie has yet to see any farms. Where do you think the food comes from?

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[Loved...? As in...?

Oh no.]

R-Rainbow Dash...? H...H-How are you doing?

[A stupid question to ask. But she had to know.]

[video]

[adashofloyalty]

...Terrible, Fluttershy.

(She also feels really sappy, and doesn't like it. She didn't know it would hurt this much if Twilight was pulled back.)

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

...W-Would you...like some company?

[She's aware of how much something like this hurts...and how much more it would hurt, if it had been someone she was in love with.]

[video]

[adashofloyalty]

...Sure. I'm at F5, 007.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Okay, I'll be there soon. Would you like me to bring you anything?

[She's heard absurd amounts of junk food are good for times like this.]

[video]

[adashofloyalty]

Chocolate candy.

(That always cheers her up. In this case, more than just 2 might be needed.)

[video ---> action]

[strengthinkindness]

Okay...see you soon.

[Soon turns out to be ten minutes after the call switches off, and Fluttershy knocks a hoof on the door.]

[action]

[adashofloyalty]

(The door's answered by a worried Speedy, who ushers Fluttershy over to where Rainbow's at on the couch. She's trying not to outwardly cry, but the tears say otherwise.)

[action]

[strengthinkindness]

Oh...Dashie...

[She walks over to the couch, putting down the bag of stuff (chocolate candies and other assortments of snack food) aside to give her longtime friend a hug.

It's not much, but it's all she can do now.]

[action]

[adashofloyalty]

(She's definitely grateful for the hug and the visit, returning it instantly and sniffling a few times.)

...Never thought I'd find something that hurts worse than Pinkie drinking ALL the cider when cider season opens...!

[action]

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...I know...

[The worst thing was, this wasn't the first time this has happened to her.]

[action]

[adashofloyalty]

(She'll hold the hug for quite some time, and if Fluttershy were to look over at the arm of the couch -where the ring's at- she'll see the Twilight and Rainbow puppets side by side.)

...Twilight vanished before, didn't she...?
