[It is one of those rare moments that Fluttershy herself is on camera as the feed opens, looking into the screen somewhat shyly, but still cheerful.]

H...H-Hello...um. [She takes a moment to clear her throat and tries again.]

For...my friends that... [She hesitates for a moment, a slight frown on her lips as certain words come to mind, before she decides on different ones to say.] I just...wanted to let you guys know that...I'm going to be heading out of town...if you...don't already know, that is...

Chris and Martin are...taking me outside of Hospitown...to learn about wilderness survival. I'm not sure how long it'll take, or...how long we'll be gone...I just...wanted to let people know so that...no one worries.

I-I'll...still be in touch, though. I'll have my D-Terminal, and I'll be calling people whenever I get the chance...So if anyone needs to reach me...it should be fine.

Uh...th-that's...it, I guess...

[There's a glimpse of her blushing before the feed is off.]

Comments

[adashofloyalty]

Yeah...plus, we had Pinkie to light our way back too. (She offers another grin that soon fades after a moment or two.)

...There's something I gotta ask, Flutters...

[strengthinkindness]

What is it, Dashie?

[adashofloyalty]

Well...you already know I'm gonna see you off when you leave town; I don't need to ask that.

(Soon enough, Fluttershy might hear some knocking at her window. This had to be more face-to-face, personal-like.)

[strengthinkindness]

[Glancing over, Fluttershy then goes to open the window and let her in.]

So what did you want to ask me?

[adashofloyalty]

(Deep breath in...and since she's not Pinkie she won't hold it; deep breath out...)

Well...you said you were gonna call every chance you got, right? I just wanted to see if you'd feel like calling me every few nights, let me know about all the cool stuff you learned that day or that week...

[strengthinkindness]

[She nodded.] Yes, of course. I wouldn't mind doing that.

[adashofloyalty]

(That nod of approval earns a big grin and hug from Rainbow.)

Awesome~! This'll be great, Flutters; it'll be like I'm there with you but we're just in different rooms!

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiled, eagerly returning the hug.] Mm...!

[adashofloyalty]

And, besides...this isn't goodbye. It's just us saying 'see you in a while!' right...?

(That still wasn't keeping her tears from rolling down her face.)

[strengthinkindness]

Right...

[She pulls back a little from the hug, lightly wiping away the tears from her friend's face.]

We'll still be there for each other, no matter what...right?
