(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.)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Okay...see you soon.

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

(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.)

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.]

(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...!

Mm...I know...

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

(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...?

[She does see the puppets together, and the ring, and she tightens the hug just a bit.] ...She did, yes...I...hadn't been there when it happened, though...

...Yeah...when'd you find out?

A few weeks after it happened...when I got back from...wherever I was.

At least you're here now...

(Next to the sweater that could easily fit Rainbow's wings, which was on the other arm of the couch, was the one made for Twilight.)

Even if she comes back again, she might not remember any of this...

Mm...that is true. But she also could...Rarity did when she left and came back...

Ha, yeah...she did remember...!

(She sniffles once more and smiles a little bigger, tightening the hug a bit more before pulling back to show her fillyhood friend the smile.)

...Thanks, Flutters...I really wanted to tell you about me and Twilight...

[She returned the smile.] You're welcome. I just wish you would have told me sooner...

When did it happen?

...I wanted to tell you that same night! Twilight said it might be better if we waited, and after what's happened before now I kinda see her point.

The party you threw for your friend before Christmas...Twilight hung out with you for a while, then found me.

(Look closer Fluttershy, you might see Rainbow blushing...and it's not because she's being modest.)

We had our first kiss on the dance floor...

Y-You did...Oh, Rainbow Dash, that's so wonderful...

...This must be hard for you...I'm so sorry.

...It'd be a lot cooler if I could've said this with her here! But, telling you now helps a little bit.

(She hated keeping things from Fluttershy, especially something like this.)

I'll be okay...ha, you know me Fluttershy! Fastest pony in all Equestria, loyal to all my friends no matter what...

(Her pouting face could say otherwise. Twilight had become much more than a best friend.)

Still...it must be difficult.

[She gives her another hug.]

I'm here...if you ever need anything.

...Stay over tonight? Pinkie and Speedy wouldn't mind the company.

(She tightens the hug immediately.)

[She smiles a little.] Sure...

[It was getting kind of lonely in her own room anyway.]

Would you mind if my Digimon come too? They don't have to, but, they might have fun with Pinkie and Speedy too...

...Of course not! They can hang out in the other bedroom.

(Spending time with Fluttershy...Rainbow actually missed that.)

All right...Let me run and get them, and we can hall just hang out.

Alright! (She pulls back and smiles happily at Fluttershy before zipping over to the chocolates, waiting for her to return.)

[With a giggle, Fluttershy heads back to her room, returning a few minutes later with Choco and Sprout in tow.]

Slumber party!

SURPRISE~! LEEEEEEEET'S PARTY~!

(Pinkie pops out of the other adjoining bedroom with a 'TIME TO CHEER UP RAINBOW DASH' banner, Speedy with a sheepish smile.)

[Sprout blinks.] When did you even make that?
