[The feed comes to life as Sprout rubs the back of her head, looking a little embarrassed.]

So uh...hey guys...

[While not entirely whispering, she does seem to be making an effort to keep her voice down.]

So...sorry that we uh...disappeared for a bit. The three of us kinda got...swept up in a data stream that dropped us off in some forest...without the D-Terminal, conveniently. [You can hear the sarcasm dripping in her voice.]

We just got back...like literally just got back. Seems we missed a bunch'a stuff, huh?

[Her expression sobers for a moment.] Looks like a lotta people left, huh? [Sprout glances behind her with a bit of a concerned expression, and her next words sound more like she's talking to herself.] Hope she doesn't get too upset...

[Then she clears her throat, turning back to the camera.] So yeah, uh...Just wanted to let you guys know Fluttershy's back, safe and sound. She's doing okay, nothing some days resting up won't fix.

...Oh yeah...Chris, if you uh...whenever you see this, mind giving us a call? I think Fluttershy wanted to ask you something...

[As Sprout moves to turn the D-Terminal off, there's a brief glimpse of Fluttershy - a little scratched up but on the whole looking all right - on the screen behind her, lying in bed with Choco sleeping against her side and a rabbit plush tucked in her arms as she slept.]

Just where did you wind up anyway? Trixie would hate to imagine having to hike so far without any of her items.

[Hiking that far with a cart would be much more reasonable]

Some...kind of forest. It was pretty far from here...it's actually a surprise we made it back.

We really need some kind of better system to inform everyone of our locations. Preferably on some sort of accessory you could wear or something you could fit in the pocket of your sleep ware.

Either way Trixie is grateful you are back. She has had a dreadful time dealing with all sorts of horrifically embarrassing rumors about her most perfect pony self. All being spread by an awful fake Trixie!

W-Well...technically that's what the...D-Terminals are for...It's just that, when the data stream swept us up, I wasn't able to grab the terminal in time.

O-Oh yes, I've...heard something about the rumors. They were...connected to some kind of relics, weren't they? What happened...?

Well, Trixie knows nothing of a relic, but there was a false Trixie who insulted her! Stole her clothes and even sang a song with her. In the end Trixie proved who was the superior Unicorn!

I'm still not entirely sure you're not the fake.

[A growl]

Trixie also met her new partner, Black Pawn Chessmon.

I prefer the title Lady Chessmon.

You may be female but your lack of manners disqualifies you from being a lady.

Girl I will stab your flank again. Don't test me!

Oh my...

[Whether she was talking about the fake Trixie or her new Digimon, it was hard to tell.]

It seems there's been a lot of trouble lately.

Fluttershy can say that again.

At least Trixie has completed her new cart. It is no where near as wonderful as her old cart but it is superior to no cart. With it and Trixie's proficiency for slight of hand she may be able to start touring the other cities and villages on this Continent.

O-Oh...you're...thinking of traveling?

Not far. And not without first making sure that Fluttershy and Rainbowdash are OK.

After all Trixie just admonished Fluttershy for leaving.

But we really should see what all this world has to offer. Together. Imagine a place even more beautiful then the Crystal Empire and Canterlot combined!

I-I see...Y-Yes, that's...That's a good idea.

A-And actually that's...something I...should probably talk to you and Rainbow Dash about...

Oh?

Should this be a network talk or an in person talk? Fluttershy is stammering which means she is less then comfortable and Trixie would not wish that...more then usual anyway.

It...might be better to talk in person, I guess...

Very well, where should Trixie find you? You've done enough traveling so Trixie will come to you.

I'm in my apartment right now...

[Trixie arrives and knocks, having left her Digimon behind. When the door opens she presents a box of jelly and cream filled doughtnuts]

Since Fluttershy missed hearts and hooves day Trixie could not present her with a gift...so here.

[Fluttershy blinks as she takes the box from Trixie.]

Oh goodness...Thank you. I'm afraid I wasn't able to get Hearts and Hooves day presents for anyone before I got swept away...

Bah!

[Trixie holds up a hand]

You are excused from the practice. Trixie was not expecting a gift from Fluttershy anyway. Trixie is not Fluttershy's special somepony even if Trixie has developed an appreciation for Fluttershy's kindness and radiance.

O-Oh...um...okay.

But...you still got me something, even though I'm not your special somepony. And giving a gift on Hearts and Hooves day isn't just for somepony special...

Bah and bah again!

You were away from the area struggling to survive. And you have shown Trixie nothing but kindness since she arrived here.

You. Are. Excused.

W-Well...if you're sure...

[She'd still try to find something for Trixie later.]

Trixie is always sure.

Now before you continue to try to make your crest explode with kindness, Trixie insists on coming in so you may speak to her.

O-Oh yes, of course... [She opens the door wider, stepping aside to let Trixie in.]

[Trixie makes her way inside, already familiar with it from when Fluttershy let her hide from Kovu. She turns with a graceful flourish of her cape and waits]

...H-Here, why don't we sit down?

[She may or may not be stalling a bit.]

Hmm?

[She takes a seat that she particularly liked because it put her as the center of view for anyone in the room but she's watching Fluttershy like she's center stage]

Well?
