Twenty-Fifth Flutter [Video/Action for Ecruteak.]

[3_butterflies]

[The Video turns on because during Fluttershy's sleep-coma, several of her Pokemon have decided to watch over her things. Her Flaafy had been cleaning up the Pokegear and accidentally turned it on. All looks well, as Fluttershy sleeps on a bed in the background...

... and then suddenly sits up right with a yelp.]

Eeeeeeek!

[With that high-pitched yet very silent yell, she jumps out of bed, heads to the window -]

I'm late, I'm late, I'm l -

[And she... JUMPS OUT THE WINDOW. Someone has forgotten she doesn't have wings. Fortunately, they were on the first floor. So when Flaafy, with the Pokegear, heads t the window to look out and see the damage, you all get to see Fluttershy with her body face down, flat on the ground. Ow.]

[...of all the things to turn this thing on and see...]

I'm sure there was a perfectly good reason as to why jumping your window seemed like a good idea.

[...yeah his tone implies that no. he does not think this is the case at all...]

[3_butterflies]

[She slowly manages to sit up, wiping dirt off of her face as she hears the voice.]

... I didn't realize I was back in Johto again... And a human again... Oh, my...

[enjoymyatelier]

[hold up now]

You managed to leave this place, then? How did you accomplish that? I've been lead to believe that was impossible.

[...the fact that she apparently wasn't human to begin with can be addressed later...]

[3_butterflies]

[She shuffles around, slowly coming back to the window to look at the Pokegear. She strokes Flaafy fondly before taking the gear.]

Um... it can happen to anypony, really... We just fall asleep, and we return back home for a little while... I think this is my second time...

[enjoymyatelier]

And this happens completely randomly? There's no observable cause for-

[...hold up again]

Anypony?

[3_butterflies]

[She shyly hides some of her face behind her hair.]

I'm sorry... I mean anybody. I keep forgetting to use the different words here.

[enjoymyatelier]

So, then, you're-

[...sometimes, even when you're experienced with weird mage shit

things just get too goddamn surreal that you can't think about them too hard]

...That doesn't explain anything. Ponies, as far as I know, have never been able to fly.

[3_butterflies]

Um, well, um, back home... I'm a Pegasus Pony... and they can fly...

[enjoymyatelier]

Oh, I see. That makes perfect sense.

[man, this was seeming like a good lead

and now he really can't tell if infinite parallel worlds means "some worlds are just really weird" or if this girl is just having some serious hallucinations

should he even bother pressing for more info? maybe he can fact check with someone actually sane...]

What else does returning home entail, then? Is it possible to retain any memories of this place?

[3_butterflies]

[She slowly shakes her head, clearly intimidated by him.]

N-No... I didn't remember anything about Johto until I actually returned to Johto...

[enjoymyatelier]

[Kayneth's Intimidate cut foe Fluttershy's Attack!

...hmm. If that's the case, then he can't use anything he learns about the other masters in the Fourth War against them, but...

...

does he really want to remember anything about this place... well, who even knows if she's right.]

Hmm... interesting. So it's as if you were never gone, then?

[3_butterflies]

[An equally slow nod...]

We get sent back exactly when we left... I was there for a whole year, but in Johto, I've only been asleep for a week...

[enjoymyatelier]

That's convenient, I suppose, aside from the complete randomness and the fact that you return here after a certain amount of time.

[...well again, there was the question of was she hallucinating...]

[3_butterflies]

I'm sorry... I don't really understand how or why it works... No one here really does..

[enjoymyatelier]

That's what I've been hearing with regards to practically everything here. Hasn't anyone taken a serious look into it?

[3_butterflies]

I don't know... I try to stay out of it... I'm just happy to be here with the Pokemon and my friends.

[enjoymyatelier]

We can't all be scientists.

[3_butterflies]

You could try asking my friend Twilight Sparkle, though... she's the smartest pony I know.

[enjoymyatelier]

I'll... consider it.

[3_butterflies]

[Ducks her head again.]

Or, um, not, or, uh, do whatever you want...
