As Princess Twilight requested, all the girls met together for a while during each of their last five days in Equestria. Their goal was to come up with a plan to help the Equestria Girls 'stay close', to their Twins, to Princess Twilight, to Equestria.
The Equestria Girls knew that the 'tyrany of the urgent' flew madly in their world.
They generally did this task late afternoon, since Summer indicated that was the time they had gathered together after school. All the Twins now knew about the times Summer had gathered these girls together.
The first day they did this, Princess Twilight thought it might be good to actually break up into the two groups that would ultimately be split up after the last day.
This turned out to be a very bad idea.
The Equestria Girls met in the Library. They decided on who their primary leader would be (both Twilight Sparkle and Summer Rain), but got nothing else done.
The Equestria ponies were in Rarity's Boutique, and pretty much just cried together the whole time.
When the Twin's all got back together, they quickly found out, then they cried too.
From that point on, they all met together. They did everything together.
It was decided that the Equestria Girls would keep the first three volumes of Princess Celestia's commentaries that were in Fluttershy's apartment, and would read from them as they desired. When both the fourth volume and Summer's story were available, that would be brought to the Equestria Girls as well.
'Summer Break' was a few months away, and they would plan a longer return visit at that time. This would give everypony something to look forward too.
Every few weeks, a few ponies from Equestria (probably Summer, Shysage and somepony else maybe) would visit and see how everything was going. Hopefully any problems would be able to be handled in this way.
Princess Twilight felt strongly that the Equestria ponies needed to take the initiative to 'stay close' to the precious Equestria Girls.
They all agreed that, should any issues arise, the Equestria Girls should feel free to send a note through the Portal as they had done in the past.
Princess Twilight would mention to Princess Cadance to specifically keep her eye out for such things.
The Equestria Girls likewise would keep an eye out for messages in the front of the Portal every morning as they headed into school.
Even so, while away, it was really up to the Equestria Girls to work together, and look out for one another.
Summer had done an amazing job bringing them back together, and everypony realized that it would be up to the Equestria Girls to keep this 'comraderie' going.
They should try to eat lunch together, and continue to meet together after school.
Princess Twilight cried as she said this. She wanted each of the Equestria Girls to realize that her love for them didn't vary depending on which side of the Portal they were on. She wanted the Equestria Girls to always try to rememeber that, and conduct themselves accordingly.
Remembering Summer's experience, the Equestria Girls must always stay by 'twos' at least, and more if possible.
Summer surfaced Fluttershy's special needs specifically. Summer knew her Twin was already with her in this, but when Summer couldn't be with Fluttershy, the group needed to work out other arrangements.
Pinkie quickly volunteered to have Fluttershy stay with her, whenever she wanted to. The others said the same thing.
Fluttershy very much appreciated that.
Everypony thought that it might be a good idea for the Equestria Girls to spend a weekend at Applejack's farm, sort of a 'retreat', whenever it seemed necessary, but probably once a month at least.
Overall, they all realized that they couldn't change what the Portal was or the separation it generally caused. However, they fully appreciated what they had in each other, and just would have to find a way to make everything work.
It would be difficult.
