"Twi, sugar... how have you been holding up? You've been locked up in here for a while now, and I know you're sore about it, what with your special talent and all. Are you... doin' okay?"
"I don't know anymore, Applejack. Am I? Are we? What about your farm? A-and with what happened to Cloudsdale, I... goodness, AJ, I don't even care about my magic. What about everypony who... Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's family's are-- gone, and I'm supposed to care about some stupid horn?!"
"Now don't be like that Twi, t'ain't fair to yourself. I know you're hurtin' about all the tragedies that have been happening, but that doesn't mean you have to pretend losing your magic ain't affecting you. You need to be honest about everything going on in your head."
Silence.
"Furthermore, don't you fret none about my farm, sugarcube. Might be a bit hectic for a while, while we figure everything out the way it is now. And 'course we have some emergency bits saved up. And as for RD and Fluttershy, they... well, I..."
A sigh. It sounded wet and heavy.
"Shoot, they'll get through this. Won't be easy. But they're tough girls, you know that. And they'll have us with them the whole time. Magic of friendship, right?"
"I..." another sigh, this time from Twilight. "Yes. I suppose you're right. Even if everything is-- even if it all seems so broken now, we... I know that the magic of friendship shines within all of us still, even if nothing else does. We just have to stick together. Right?"
"Eeyup. Like we always have. It'll all be okay in the end, sug, trust me."
"I would never doubt you, AJ. I guess we just have to keep moving forward."
And so they did.
