March 10 (as confirmed by Twilight)
Description: The usual vlog stuff. Only this time, I have news for you guys. I'm gonna start livestreaming next week, March 17. I'll make a short video sometime this week telling exactly what time. My livestream account is http://www.twitch.tv/TheGrayHeartedFalcon69

A white room could be seen. A few crimson drapes, ivory mannequins (or ponykins, whatever ya call 'em), and some very classy clothing as well. Standing in the middle of the camera was a normal guy...sort of. He stood at 5'9" and he wore a blue t-shirt that showed a gray heart with a skull-shaped shadow, a pair of blue jeans, and a pair of white ankle socks. He had apricot skin, brown hair that went down to his shoulders, and brown eyes, and wore a distant expression. The only odd thing was he had a horn protruding from his forehead.
"Spike insisted that we visit Rarity because he couldn't two days ago," the figure spoke. "In case you don't know already, name's Matt, but you can call me Chance. But allow me to get on with introductions. The Great Falkronyx here."
"And I'm the Midnight Star," a voice spoke.
"Glad to know you're joining us, Twi."
"Always glad to join in on a video," Twilight responded.
"And I'm the Generous Dazzler," Rarity spoke.
Chance fought the urge to facepalm right then. "Not you, too," he complained.
"What, a proper lady can't have a proper codename?"
"It's not that, it's just that I think two channels is enough."
"Channels? What do you mean? I just wanted to have a codename like you two."
"Rarity, it's not exactly a codename," Twilight explained. "It's more like a creative nickname, or 'username' as YouTube calls it."
"Yeah, If I just used 'Matt Falcon' as my username, I'd be giving away some personal information," Chance added. "Even if it's only a name, it could give away my location, even though I'm in Equestria."
Rarity pondered this for a moment. "Well, I'd best be getting back to work. Many orders to fill today, so don't distract me too much."
"No prob," Chance replied. "Now, let's talk about what's been happening. First off, you may have noticed that I'm no longer in my pony form. It was thanks to Twilight that I was able to pull this off. Let me tell you guys, it takes a lot of magic to perform this spell. The changelings are still faster transformers, but at least I can quickly picture the form I wish to take on."
"Wait, why did you compare transformation to changelings?" Spike asked.
"Well, because they're the only ones I know of who can transform at will. I can only transform after I've charged enough magic."
Spike nodded in understanding. "Oh, okay. Gotcha."
"Anyway, thanks to Twilight, I can transform. I've been in this form for about five days, so I can demonstrate if it's not too much of a distraction for Rarity."
"Hmm? Oh, it's fine, dear. Just don't ruin any of my creations, please," Rarity responded.
"I guess it's okay, then." With that, Chance lowered his head slightly, shut his eyes in concentration, and clenched his fists. His horn lit up in a green aura, and soon his whole body was covered in the same aura. About ten seconds later, a unicorn was laying on the floor. He was breathing heavily. "Heh...one second...haangh...phew...huh...that took...a lot outta me..." He laid there stalling for about a minute, then he finally stood up. "Alright. I'm good, now. Anyways, now you know that I know the spell. Now, onto the comments. I know, it's not really necessary to give feedback on comments, but let me give feedback. I remember a comment on that short video that Spike sent. ShadowStar99 commented, "Totally fake, a waste of time and talent, and more annoying than ever." Well, that wasn't me recording the video, either. And you're just like Twilight was before she had friends if you think it's a waste of time to travel and visit friends. RogueArcher15 commented, "lol keep making these shorts, I love them!" Well, thank you, Rogue. And I will keep making these shorts. But not before my livestream."
"He's doing it on March 17," Spike interrupted. "I still don't know how it works..."
"Well, I'll show you. And I'll also show you how Skype works. Thanks to me, Jacob, and Vinyl, we made a computer and internet. We were really the only ones with at least a little bit of knowledge about technology. And yes, it was extremely hard to get everything done right. There were SATA and PATA cables, video cards, hard drive, power box and power cable, and other stuff to get exactly right. Plus, we had to make our own internet cables. Not to mention the arguing between me and Jacob. Not exactly the easiest task in the world. Anyway, we have plenty of memory on the computer, so we downloaded Skype, some livestream tools, some music, and some games. And no, phones do not exist in Equestria. So we don't have phone lines or phone jacks so that we can invent wi-fi."
"What are 'phones?' I've never heard of such a thing," Rarity said.
"It's a tool that lets you speak to somepony else who has a phone from long distances."
"Really? Sounds convenient."
"Unfortunately, conveniences mean difficulty. Cars, for example, are a convenience. They allow you to travel from place to place in a short amount of time. I could walk a mile, and it would probably take about ten minutes. A car would probably reach a mile in one minute. That only means that somepony you're trying to contact could be visiting another pony, and you wouldn't know it. Plus, cars are fueled by gasoline, which costs a lot of money."
"Oh my...I never thought about conveniences in that sort of way..."
"Before I arrived here, I never really thought about it, either. Anyway, I should probably discuss what we'll be doing in our first Equestria livestream. All you have to do is post a comment and I'll read the username and comment, and I'll respond to your comment. If you guys want me to do something, I'll do it as long as it's not...R-rated stuff or violence. I mean, we might decide for ourselves what we'll do some of the time, but our time won't be wasted as long as we're doing something."
"Wait, so you want us to do whatever they ask us to?" Twilight asked.
"Maybe not everything. And definitely not R-rated stuff or violence."
"Hey, what..." Spike started. "...nevermind, I don't think I wanna know."
"What?" Chance tilted his head in confusion. "...oh. Yeah, when you're older. Now that comments and livestreaming stuff is covered, I can talk about what's been going on around here. Twilight, would you like to help me?"
"Sure thing, Chance," Twilight replied.
"Alright, so yesterday, I asked Spike to send a letter to Princess Celestia to ask her if she would be available on March 17."
"We don't know when she'll come to the library," Twilight interrupted. "All we know is that she'll be there on the 17th."
"Right. And I'll let you guys know what time I'll start recording the livestream. I'm kinda planning on starting at about 5:00, but I'll let you guys know when I find out what time I'll be recording. Just to let you guys know, don't be disappointed if she doesn't come. That means you, RogueArcher. She has a two-hour time frame anyways, so it shouldn't be a huge problem."
"Also, my friends are gonna be there," Twilight chimed in. "I'm sure you're looking forward to asking us questions or telling us what you'd like to see us do. I imagine my friends wouldn't mind, either."
"Yep," Chance replied. "Unfortunately, my brother's gonna be there, too. Now that we've talked about guests, let's go on to past events. So, about six days ago, I was asked to be the substitute teacher for Miss Cheerilee's class. I was easygoing, but I didn't give them a free day. In fact, I was teaching them the fundamentals of a good essay, how to read the slope-intercept form of a graph, and a little bit of science. Very little science."
"He came home and started making graphs and essays," Spike stated. "He couldn't stop until dinner time."
"Thank you, Spike," Chance replied with sarcasm. "Anyway, four days ago, Pinkie threw a sort of double-party for Jacob. One for him being a new pony, and one for him deciding to stay with her. Of course, I was invited, but I have to admit I enjoyed the party."
"It was quite a party, wasn't it?" Twilight replied.
"Then, three days ago, I started training myself to control myself when I'm angry. So far, I'm faring well. Let me show you guys something." Chance lowered his head and closed his eyes. A second later, lightning burst from his mane and tail. "Pretty cool, huh? I just started thinking of someone I absolutely hate, and it became pretty easy to switch forms." With that, his mane and tail reverted to normal. "Thomas Richard. That's the person I will always hate, no matter what. As long as I focus my anger on him, it's easy to do."
Spike decided to chime in. "Wait, who is he, and why do you hate him so much?"
Chance looked down. "He's a bully. Not very bulky, but I really hate him. Mainly because he was never willing to be my friend. Sometime after I was away from the school he went to, I heard from one of my old friends that he was 'still being an asshole to everyone.' Sorry for using that language, Rarity."
"Oh, it's quite alright. If you hated him so much, and one of your friends told you he was doing something to deserve it, then it's quite appropriate."
Chance smiled at that. "Thanks for the information. Umm, was there anything else? I know there was work, and the parties, but what else...? Oh, RIGHT! I almost forgot to tell you guys. Send this message to Nowacking. Add 'FalkronyxMatt69' on Skype so we can do video call for livestream. It'll be like a group chat, so I hope you're ready to have your mind blown twice, Rogue. Also, send her this video so she knows it's not a prank. I'll be doing livestreams on the 17th, so be prepared! Until next time, guys! The Great Falkronyx out!"
"The Midnight Star out!"
"Generous Dazzler saying bye!"
"Spike signing off!"
