3_butterflies[Fluttershy is still holed up in her room at Goldenrod, but at least she's somewhat making an effort to talk to people now, if the turning on of her Pokegear is any indication. Her red eyes show signs of past tears, but she's trying to be strong now.]
... I'm sorry for bothering you, but... some friends of mine are gone... I know that happens a lot, ponies - I mean, people leaving... and sometimes they come back, but don't remember what happened here... So... so...
[She gulps, and twists the butterfly ring on her finger.]
... If Applejack does come back... If she doesn't remember her time here... Then... please don't tell her about... us being... together. I-It wouldn't be fair to her.

Date: 2012-03-10 12:06 pm (UTC)[She grabs hold of Fluttershy's shoulders, shaking her head in adamant denial of even the suggestion. There are tears in her eyes now, just thinking about it.]
We're... supposed to be together. We're the Elements... and more, we're friends. This isn't how it's supposed to be. It's not, I... I won't accept it.
[She wipes her eyes quickly and looks as close to her eyes as she can get.]
So don't... don't say or think that, alright? It's just too... wrong. Too sad. You're not meant to be here alone.

Date: 2012-03-10 12:10 pm (UTC)[she shudders, and then goes in for a very tight hug, clinging onto the unicorn as if that would prevent her from ever leaving. She sniffles, pressing her face into Twilight's shoulder.]
I just... I don't know what to do without you girls anymore... You're so important to me, that... that you are my life....
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-10 12:15 pm (UTC)[She stops there, remembering that Shy hasn't gone through that yet. The fact that that experience is still lying ahead for Fluttershy does not make Twilight any happier.]
I'd have given anything to have you back. That time, there was something I could do. But now... All my magic's gone, and I just... I feel so weak and helpless.
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-10 12:21 pm (UTC)Th-that's not true! You're not weak and helpless... you're still here, aren't you? Just by being here, you do so much... I'm so glad you're still here...
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-10 12:34 pm (UTC)[She stops herself from completing that sentence. "I could vanish anytime". It's true, yes. But it's the last thing Fluttershy needs to hear right now. And the last thing she should be focusing on.]
No, you're right. I'm still here. And while I'm here, there's still things I can do.
And I promise you, Fluttershy. As long as I'm here, you won't ever be alone. I mean, unless you want to be alone for a while, to think or something, but...
[She cuts herself off before she starts babbling too badly.]

Date: 2012-03-10 12:35 pm (UTC)Uh-uh. I... don't ever want to let you out of my sight again. I promise too... I won't ever leave your side. You're one of my very best friends... so I'll stay with you as long as I can.
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-10 12:43 pm (UTC)[She hugs her again, but this time it's less of a cling and more of a hold.]
Then as long as we're both here, we won't be separated by anything. No matter what happens.

Date: 2012-03-10 12:53 pm (UTC)She has to admit, she's surprised at how quickly the situation seems to be turning around. It still hurts, but... as long as Fluttershy's with her, it feels like she can get through anything. She has to wonder if she'd feel the same if it were any of the others.
Oh, probably. She cares for them all the same, after all, right?]
So... what do you want to do today?
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-10 12:57 pm (UTC)I don't know... Anything is fine. Whatever you want to do... as long as I'm with you.

Date: 2012-03-10 01:17 pm (UTC)That's a good idea... I've been keeping mine inside all this time, they're probably upset about that...
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-10 01:21 pm (UTC)[The idea came to her as a whim, but it's proving such a good distraction already that she's practically throwing herself into it. And besides, she hasn't spent enough time with her Pokes recently.]

Date: 2012-03-10 01:25 pm (UTC)I'm ready whenever you are... I feel like I haven't seen the sun in forever.

Date: 2012-03-10 02:19 pm (UTC)[Twilight stands up, offering her hand with a smile of encouragement as she double checks to make sure she has Spike and Starswirl's poke balls. She does, of course.]
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-10 02:35 pm (UTC)Okay... I'm all ready, I think...
[Action]
Date: 2012-03-10 07:34 pm (UTC)[She takes Shy's hand easily and turns to head outside. Their friends may be gone, for now, but they've still got each other, and there's a whole world out there waiting for them. Twilight tries to keep that thought foremost in her mind.
It helps. A little.]
