Hello, are you there?
Yeah, what's up?
Good morning! How are you? Are you getting enough to eat? Are you sleeping well enough?
Yes Mom, I had a tangerine and a glass of water, calm down.
That's it? I thought you were stealing lunch money.
Yeah, for lunch, that's why it's called lunch money.
...
Is there anything I could do for you?
Are you serious? You're a world away Twilight.
This must be something I can do.
I'll be fine, calm down.
Are there services on that side supporting those of low income or underage?
Not without a lot of questions asked. Everything in this world requires identification. If you don't exist on paper, you don't exist in the law and community essentially.
That's extremely frustrating, I wou-
...
Hello?
Have you considered asking that world's Celestia for h-
Hell no. I'm avoiding her like the plague when I can.
...
Meaning there are times you can't avoid her?
She rules over the school I attend. For some reason she didn't ask any questions and just let me in.
I see.
...
What is she like?
For someone who isn't immortal like your Celestia, she sure acts like she knows everything still.
As much as a fool as mine then. She has a homeless girl right in front of her and doesn't even see it.
Damn Sparkle, I'm starting to suspect you dislike Celestia more than I.
I've seen her less than composed more than once.
She must really trust you, because she wouldn't twitch a facial muscle for me. It was always a mask.
I'm so sorry.
Not your fault.
She's getting better. She asks if she does anything to upset me sometimes, and tries to relate with mistakes she's made in the past. She recently took me out for ice cream even.
...
You're crying, are you okay?!
Why does Celestia hate me?
She doesn't hate you.
Yes she does! She only talked to me during lessons, she made it clear I had to study hard. She wanted me to make friends, with other ponies, and not her! She exiled me when I demanded she make me an alicorn!!
...
Why did you want to become an alicorn?
I... I don't know. I wanted power. When I had power, I was praised, respected. I keep telling myself I just wanted to be an alicorn so Celestia would adopt me like Cadance, but I don't know if that's true anymore. I told myself Celestia was a terrible pony, and I wasn't. She treats you well though, she treats you like how she treats others, and not me. I just thought it was because I was her student at first.
...
My favorite place to be is inbetween you know? On the way to school, in a chariot or carriage, from point A to B. Going somewhere, doing something, but not there yet. ...I don't know what I'm saying, I'm sorry Twilight.
Sometimes I wish I could disappear.
...
You're crying again.
I am indeed.
Stop that.
No.
Why?! You're getting my book wet! Sort of.
Because you deserve better.
...
Are you a pretty mare?
What?
Are you cute?
I'm definitely not cute in the slightest, but I have had a few ponies say I look pretty, yes.
It's feels nice to have a pretty mare weep for you.
...
I don't think I'm pretty enough to count but I can weep harder if it helps.
You're sweet Twilight.
Thank you Sunset~
You're also a complete sap by the way.
Thank you Sunset.
Also, don't ever follow strangers home or accept candy from them.
Sunset.
Don't go out after hours.
You're messing with me, aren't you?
Make sure to sleep with a nightlight.
...
Oh my gosh you already own a nightlight!
I do not.
Widdle Twilight doesn't like sleeping in darkness~
On the contrary I love the night, my room is full of glow in the dark stickers and is painted dark blue.
Just like Celestia's?
...
We both like glow in the dark stickers.
Oh my god you two are made for each other.
We are not.
Are too~
We are not, I insist.
It's almost cute, almost.
...
Actually, I take it back, you're adorable.
...
Twilight? You there?
Yes.
Oh okay, you're just too busy being cute, got it.
...
So back to not eating a big enough breakfast.
Fuck.
I have a suggestion, if you are willing.
Sure, shoot.
I'll take it shoot means you'll humor me. Go to that world's Celestia, tell her you've been stealing lunch money for food and that you're homeless.
Okay, so why in the hell would I ever do that, and what makes you specifically think I ever would?
Because I'm a sap, and I'm like Celestia. That means Celestia is a sap. This would imply that world's Celestia is a sap, who can't let you be homeless.
...
That is so evil.
It is?
I love you.
I love you too.
I'm still not doing it.
Very well, but what if you did anyway?
Twilight.
As you said, it is evil, which is desirable, apparently.
Stop being Celestia.
Stop being homeless.
That- no. It doesn't work that way.
Who's the friendship expert here?
Neither of us, we're both friendless losers.
Correct! So how do we know for sure it's a bad idea? What do you have to lose baring your soul?
The stability of my school life?
The stability of preying on other children?
...
You are the worst.
I know.
You are also depressing.
As are you.
Fine, I'll try talking to Celestia and Luna about this.
...
Luna?
Celestia's sister, she runs the school with her.
...
Twilight?
Twilight, are you there?
I'm sorry, I need to go, I don't want to be seen with the book.
Alright, take care!
Take care of yourself as well, please. Farewell.
