[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.]

[As soon as Chris is able to distance himself a little, he connects to the D-Terminal. He's clearly worried, and eager to check in, but considering the shot of Fluttershy there was her asleep, he's a little hesitant to do so for fear of bothering her.

So, this is why that although he's technically giving her the call, it's not her he initially hails.]

Sprout? Y'there?

[There's a sigh of relief and a smile from Saori. You kids need to stop worrying the residential mama. Don't mind her if she's in bed. Seriously, that party crashing at Myotismon's castle wiped her out.]

Welcome back you guys. You had us worried!

Stop getting sent away!

Stop getting hurt!

Stop leaving Trixie alone with a rude lion room mate!

...A data stream?! How the hay did that happen?

(Rainbow's not happy at all, but despite her irritated tone she is relieved they're all okay.)

Quite a bit.

You guys do anything while you were out? Doesn't sound like much fun.
