video } the wonderful part of the mess that we made we pick ourselves undone

[Starlight's not used to these devices or much about this place, but it's just like learning new magic. She's sure she can do it. After a few minutes of fiddling with a hoof, she turns it on, using her magic to hold it out in front of her.

Slightly upside-down, but she hasn't noticed.]

Greetings. My name is Starlight Glimmer. I am a newcomer here. I have read all your pamphlets and other resources, it's all very informative, but none of it answers my real question.

[She hesitates, then pushes through.]

...is this a friendship test?

...we have very different ideas of magic. Any unicorn where I'm from can do it.

[Very few of them are as talented as Starlight is, of course, but they can all at least levitate small items and such.]

Yeah, but you also have unicorns where you're from. Where I'm from, people would assume unicorns are magic because they aren't real.

So... friendship can't be magic because it's real?

[Your world is weird.]

...It sounds different when you say it than it did in my head.

Right. [She sounds very skeptical.] Well, whether it's magic or not, I'm glad friendship could help you.

Yeah...same here. And that it helped you, too.
