Twilight awoke to, well nothing really. And that surprised her. Of the five days of training she had had from Zecora she had never just woken up naturally. Once she had been woken by a loud noise outside, once she had been woken after just two hours of sleep to learn how to fight without rest. Once, she had woken up to one of Zecora's lessons: to sacrifice her pride in order complete the mission. That lesson had taken two days and they were the worst, longest, most embarrassing two days of her life. No one can ever know. she thought. No one at all, can ever know what happened those two days. Zecora had promised she would take the secret to her grave, which was comforting, but what Zecora had done to her still weighed heavy on her mind. Where did she even get the formula for the potion? Twilight wondered. Did she invent it? Why would she? It's not like she would ever have a reason to use it, besides then of course. Twilight had forced Zecora to swear never to speak of what happened, but would she anyway? These questions still weighed heavily on Twilight' s mind. Then Fluttershy burst in.
"TWILIGHT!! WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!"'screamed' Fluttershy. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!"
"Hi Fluttershy. Good to see you. I'm training with Zecora right now." Twilight replied calmly.
"Oh." Whimpered Fluttershy. "I see."
"How are things in Ponyville?"
"Well, not to be mean, I mean unless you want me to, but Trixie is really mean to everypony."
"I understand. I'll come back and help as soon as I can help."
"Okay," said Fulttershy softly. "But can I say here until then?"
"Sure, well, it's Zecora's home, so you'll need to ask her, but I'm sure she'll be okay with it."
"Thanks Twilight."
