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

[truefriendship]

[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?

No, they were pretty grateful. I think you eased out some past hurts that were festering there for a while. The map chose the perfect pony for the job.

[Because only she's batshit enough to do something like that. ]

[truefriendship]

Well, if that's what they needed... nopony else could have done that.

[Or would have, but even leaving off that... Twilight and Cadence might be strong enough, but they don't know cutie mark magic the way Starlight does. At least one good thing came from her mess, she supposes.]

Of course not. And honestly, I think it did good for them. Even they need to stand back and learn to appreciate each other sometimes, I guess. We wouldn't want another Nightmare Moon scenario, after all.

No, that would be bad. And Celestia has the potential in her too. Everypony does. Though... mostly not on that level of disastrous.

Action

From what I understand, it's seeing exactly that which brought her around. I don't know all the details, though. But still, I'd call it a successful mission.

Well... good. [She smiles.] Thanks for telling me, Sunburst. It sounds like everything works out.

Action

[bibliocorn]

It really does. I mean it when I say you've really made a big difference to Equestria, in all kinds of ways just like that.

[By basically doing stuff nopony else in their right mind would even try.]

You should be proud.
