"S-So..." As the group sat in the compartment of the train as it was making its way back, Fluttershy smiled at Twilight with her trademark shyness. "Did you, uhm, learn anything of what you were looking for?"
"Not quite..." Twilight shrugged. "The rumors appeared to have been a dud. No real signs of anything even close to a lost civilization or anomaly, except for the fact everything was warm and green...But, at-least we had the time to explore the hollow. It was really beautiful, don't you think?"
"Oh, yes...The butterflies there were so gorgeous." Fluttershy giggled.
...
"Fluttershy, do you know what déjà vu is?"
"Oh! It's like seeing something for the first time, but totally being under the impression you've seen it before? There was a philosopher who proposed the idea a long time ago, if I remember..."
"Correct! So, I was wondering...Did you ever feel something similar, but...something like with dreams? There's this odd dream I keep having, a-and it always involved you..."
"Goodness, you're dreaming of me?" Fluttershy blushed cutely. "I-I'd be honored if you told me about it."
"You're...gonna think I'm crazy." Twilight coughed
"Don't say that Twilight!" Fluttershy leaned in with a big smile. "Dreams aren't real, and they do not often reflect real events, but they are a window into our psychology. So please, feel free to share."
"Well..." The alicorn coughed. "I keep dreaming that you're a robot."
...
...
Fluttershy was unable to contain her laughter - putting her hoof to her mouth and releasing quiet chuckling sounds at the sheer prospect of what the alicorn was saying. In turn, the alicorn giggled too, realizing how silly it was in the end.
"D-Did I at-least have some kind of power, or was I one of those slow and basic ones?" Fluttershy inquired.
"You were almost indistinguishable from a normal pony actually." Twilight said. "You were really powerful, but...Even despite all that, you were still the same you. The same Fluttershy I know and cherish."
The two mares exchanged soft, warm smiles.
And then, Fluttershy gasped as the epiphany came. "I think I know the word you're looking for! That's called déjà rêvé. To translate it means "already dreamed"."
Twilight nodded, paying close attention. "Hm, okay, I'll look into it. Uhm, how do you know all this? I never took you for having an interest in psychology, let alone paraphyschology."
Proudly, the pegasus smiled. "Something I picked up from a few of the books you lent me, Twilight. You know how my animal friends like to fall asleep to me reading."
"Your animals like that kinda stuff?" The alicorn tilted her head.
"Believe it or not, but Harry really loves philosophical debates."
