I wish I could send pictures through this journal. I found Wallflower in the garden with her forehead pressed against a sunflower, trying to make it grow.
What, was she trying to figure out earth pony magic?
She was. She finds it all fascinating. I’ve even given her a few of my lectures on the subject. She’s a great audience.
That’s great. Really. Can’t use it here, but still.
No, but she’s definitely invested, and I think it’ll help her heal as she focuses on other things. I’m actually thinking about introducing her to the Flower Trio tomorrow.
Something tells me that’s not a sandwich.
No, they’re a group of ponies that grow flowers down in Ponyville.
Sounds ok.
I can just see them reacting to her cutie mark. The horror!
…?
Oh, right, you wouldn't get that reference. They tend to freak out over every little thing, including a wilted flower.
And you’re sure they won’t freak out about a human-turned-pony rolling up in their garden?
Well, what they don’t know won’t hurt them. Besides, she has a flower on her flank. Wilted or not, they’ll probably accept her as one of their own right away.
Ha! Well, be careful, I don’t want her mauled by a vicious flower or something.
Wait. Are those actually a thing? I thought the biting plant monsters from the Friendship Games were just regular plants mutated by the corrupted magic but now I’m not so sure.
I mean, I spent all my time in the castle. I don’t think I even saw an earth pony, except for some of the guards.
Are they?
Twilight?
Twilight.
...
Twilight, please.
Your silence does not fill me with confidence, Twilight.
None that she’ll see, how about that?
That’s probably as good as I’m getting, huh?
Just make sure she has all her limbs intact when she comes back through the portal. I’m not sure how that would transfer over, either.
