Hi, it's me Summer. The Canterlot Recorder is trying to get the account of PonyRos' takeover done. He has been working on it all week. He asked me to help by keeping track of everything else.
Our first three hours of that 'surprise visit' with our precious friends in the Equestria Girls world were absolutely amazing.
Resolving Filia and Fiona's mom's concerns rapidly turned into a time that really pulled all of our girl friends there together. I don't think we thought much about this as we all were just 'there' for these needy girls thoughout the Summer. But the fact that they stayed because we were hurting... And hearing them all applaud, a couple of times, made the Equestria Girls and ponies realize that something amazing really was happening among the girls at the High School.
And for the Equestria Girls to be able to honor our Princess Twilight there, in their world; that just made us all cry...
And Fluttershy told me that asking her mom to come was Pinkie's idea. I gave both Pinkies a hug for that, 'Pinkie Sense' is just amazing. And I really love Fluttershy's mom.
I think by about six, most of us were pretty 'cried out'. It had just been such an amazing time.
Equestria Girls Twilight Sparkle got permission from Filia and Fiona's mom, and we all went to the Cake's for dinner.
Equestria Girls Fluttershy, well her mom, insisted on treating us all. We pretty much filled the restaurant to capacity, but it was an amazing time. We couldn't all sit together at the same table, but we easily split up as 'Twins', and enjoyed being together. My Stallion, my Twin and I sat with the Pinkie and Applejack Twins, and the time was amazing.
After dinner, the Twilight, Rarity, Filia and Fiona Twins walked the Equestria Girls red-heads home. Leaving them there was hard for Equestria ponies Filia and Fiona, but both were thankful for the time they got. Both Equestria ponies Filia and Fiona hugged Filia and Fiona's mom and thanked her for letting their Twins come, and this made her cry. Then the group headed back to the bleachers, and the rest of us were already there.
Both Fluttershys walked Shyna 'home', and soon returned, weeping softly. Evidently the group home where Shyna was living was not very nice.
We all talked together until very late. It was mostly Twin with Twin for a while, but the Twilight and Rarity Twins took good care of Equestria ponies Filia and Fiona.
My Stallion's Twin was at work, so he just stayed with me, and we all just relaxed and talked together. It was a warmish, later moon-lit night, and the time was just very nice. Still, the later it got, well, I just needed my Stallion close.
Our goal was to bring Equestria a little closer to our precious Equestria Girls friends, and I think we succeeded on that.
Well past midnight, according to the clock in the School lobby, a tired, tearful but happy group of ponies made their way back to Ponyville through the Portal.
Of course it was mid-day in Equestria. I think because of this, none of us were tired at all. It really had been a very good visit.
Applejack headed to the farm, and Pinkie to the Cakes. Rainbow checked the cloud-cover, then probably found her favorite napping tree.
Rarity headed to the Boutique with Fiona, and Twilight and Filia headed off on a walk in the meadow behind the Castle.
My Stallion, Fluttershy and I walked to Fluttershy's Cottage, and spent the afternoon in the warm sunlight surrounded by animal friends. Well, Angel kept his distance from my Stallion.
At one point, Fluttershy asked how she would go about seeing if Shyna had a Twin here in Equestria. Fluttershy asked this VERY timidly, but both my Stallion and I easily felt her heart, and we both hugged her. Fluttershy started crying. It was clear Fluttershy really wanted to do this.
Well, if Equestria pony Shyna was 'out there' somewhere here in Equestria, we all knew she would probably be 'needy' just like her Twin. Even the thought of that hurt my sensitive sister.
After we cried together for a while, my Stallion explained that the best way to look for Equestria pony Shyna, would be to bring Equestria Girls Shyna here, then take some rather lengthy Air Coach rides to see if the Twin Link picked anything up. This might work well if Shyna was living in one of the cities, but still, it could be 'hit and miss', and would probably take a while.
My Stallion apologized; this didn't seem very reassuring, and he knew it.
We just all cried with Fluttershy some more.
Fluttershy was soon back to her normal self, and she and I hugged and talked the rest of the afternoon. I love my sister so much...
My Stallion napped a while during this time. I think he knew that he would soon be 'jumping back in' to Canterlot Recorder stuff. The account about PonyRos just was not going easily, and he still had a lot left.
As the warm sunlight was blocked by the trees, my Stallion woke up, hugged us girls, and told me to enjoy the evening with my sister. Then he went home. I love him so, he clearly understands how much that means to me.
He told me he went back through what little he had written about PonyRos, and also went through his extensive notes, just to try to get his head back into that. Then he fell asleep.
Fluttershy and I had an amazing evening together, and fell asleep next to each other on the rug in her livingroom. We used to sleep like that a lot when we were 'little'.
Early the next morning I woke up and knew I needed my Stallion. I woke my sister up, and we hugged for a few minutes, then I flew quickly home. The Sun was just starting to brighten the sky off in the East.
I walked into our home, and quietly closed the door. My Stallion was asleep on the couch as a people. It was pretty warm still, and he was wearing his jogging clothes as a result.
We were back in Equestria now. I knew what I wanted, but couldn't make up my mind what to do. Still a pony, I just sat down on the floor next to the couch, and began crying. I couldn't help it.
He woke up, changed back into a pony, and was quickly hugging me tightly. Well, he was crying with me too.
After a little while, he moved and laid on his side on the floor, and I was quickly up against his chest and neck. That is just so comforting to me, and I settled down.
He quietly mentioned that the moon would probably be pretty bright tonight. I started crying; I understood what he meant. He knew I needed that... He knew I needed him...
He was crying with me. I think he needed me too.
After maybe fifteen minutes, he suggested we start the day as we had in the recent past. I guess we are still trying to find what 'normal' is for us.
After eating, we were soon high in the sky above Ponyville. We both enjoyed that.
I think my sister was waiting for us, because she joined us right away. As a Pegasus, spending time together flying with ponies you love...
I remembered that I used to fly just to try to be first. This was so vastly different, and amazingly better. I would never care about being first again.
As the morning progressed, everypony else joined us. I just cried.
After maybe half an hour we landed at the Castle, and joined the waiting ponies. Filia and Fiona had already come out, and Applejack just walked up.
As soon as everypony else was there, we all bowed to our amazing Princess.
She got us quickly up, but somepony started saying what we usually say, and so we said it together. Princess said the part she always says, and then we all just hugged and cried together for a little while.
Everypony wandered off at this point to get going on their days. Still, what a way to actually start the day!
Fluttershy was about to leave, but my Stallion asked her to come back.
"Summer, Fluttershy, would you like to spend the day together again?" he asked softly.
We both grinned ear to ear, and that was answer enough.
"Fluttershy, please bring your sister home after dinner, though" my Stallion said with a smile.
I cried on his shoulder for a minute, then Fluttershy and I headed off, already talking happily together.
My Stallion said he spent a bunch of the day working on the account of PonyRos' takeover. He made good progress, but it was still coming together slowly; the early chapters were just hard. This was partially because he was very involved with a lot of this. He had to work through stuff that was very difficult for him. And he still felt bad for Star Dusk.
That day, Fluttershy and I did the most amazing thing we could do together, as sisters.
After crying with Equestria Girls Fluttershy's mom, I realized we just had to do this...
Fluttershy was becoming a much stronger flyer, and was getting better at dealing with heights.
To make a long story short, we flew to Cloudsdale, and surprised our mom and dad together.
We all cried a LOT...
We really should have done this sooner. Still, arranging a Balloon Coach to get Sis up there, this was a bit of a hassle...
But today, both 'their girls' were in their house, probably the first time in, well, way too long...
Mom and dad LOVED... EVERY... SECOND...
Without being very good about any sort of progression, we both tried to explain some of the amazing things we had done, well, recently. Talking about the Equestria Girls world drew mostly blank looks. Still, they had already met my Twin, and were very excited to hear that Fluttershy had a Twin too.
And I didn't even try to tell them about our trip to the past, and the two years we spent raising two amazing mares...
When Fluttershy and I realized we had probably said more than our mom and dad could take in, we just hugged and cried together the rest of the time.
Out of nowhere, my mom asked "Summer honey, you are Shysage's Mare now, aren't you?"
I am sure I blushed. I also realized that there was a lot more they probably should have been told about.
Still, I said quietly "Yes, mom, and he takes amazing care of me. You will just never know..."
My amazing mom... She smiled and said "Summer, I do know... I can tell..." Then she hugged my dad and said "Finding a good Stallion is getting a lot harder, I think."
My dad blushed too. But then he answered quietly "He is a good stallion, Summer. We are both so pleased."
I know my dad... This was an amazing compliment for my Stallion. I started crying again, and hugged my dad. This made him cry. Maybe it had been too long since his daughter hugged him...
Fluttershy also told them about Shyna, and Fluttershy's hope that there was a Shyna in Equestria too, then she started crying herself. Our parents felt their daughter's heart, and just cried with her.
I know that Fluttershy is more sensitive than me, but we are both very sensitive. I think for the first time I realized that we both got that from our parents. I think that the Equestria Girls say 'duh' when you realize something that should be obvious. But that afternoon, it was clear both our parents were feeling a lot. I should not have been surprised.
At about mid-afternoon, we headed to the door, and then just hugged and cried together some more, right there.
Fluttershy said this! "Mom, dad, I actually flew here with Sis. I think we will be able to visit together more often now."
We just had to cry together a little more. I also think that them knowing that their two girls were very close again -- this made them so happy...
We finally left, still crying softly, and I showed Fluttershy how we could just glide back to Ponyville. She picked this up very quickly.
We both agreed on this; flying together is just amazing. But actually gliding slowly down, being able to focus on enjoying the view... I think we both wept softly all the way back. Well, we loved our parents a lot, too.
We actually landed in front of the Canterlot Recorder's house. I was a little concerned, it was dusk now, we were late. I should not have worried.
My Stallion was sitting in front of the 'scope' thing, as a people, with his head in his hands, crying. He had watched our afternoon on his 'scope' and cried a lot himself.
He changed into a pony and we all just hugged and cried together for a while. Well, a long while... Fluttershy and my Stallion already treat each other like brother and sister, for a lot of reasons. But I realized the three of us were really all family now, too.
My Stallion insisted we walk Fluttershy to her Cottage, and we cried a little more at her door too. We both love Fluttershy a lot...
My Stallion and I walked slowly home together, as he told me about his day. He had made good progress. But when he saw Fluttershy and I in Cloudsdale, he had to stop.
Well, Cloudsdale isn't exactly close, and flying there was a good work-out. I was beat.
It was warm again tonight. My Stallion said it seemed like an 'Indian Summer', whatever that meant.
We were both soon fast asleep on the couch in our jogging clothes. My back was against the back of the couch like we usually do, and I put my head on his chest. It was very comfortable.
(opt:btm7b)
We slept in a little the next morning, and had soon snacked (as ponies), and were flying above Ponyville. Fluttershy joined us.
My Stallion said he was going to wear his Canterlot Recorder 'hat' for the next few days, to see if he could pull the account of PonyRos' takeover together.
My sister and I grinned at each other, and my Stallion smiled too.
Well, it took five more days to get it done, and during those days, my sister and I tried to do as much together as we could.
One day we spent half of the day with Princess Twilight and Filia, and the other half of the day with Rarity and Fiona. That day was amazing. Well, they all were.
We spent most of one day helping Applejack at the farm. It seems there are always apples to be picked. Fluttershy and I had a lot of fun doing this, too. Well, Applejack had me pull up a few more dead trees, but I was delighted to help out a friend like that.
Sis and I sat with Pinkie Pie outside the Cakes one afternoon too, and that was amazing. Pinkie knows everypony in town, and has already built such deep friendships with most of them. And Derpy sat with us for a part of that time too, and that was very nice.
I wanted us to spend a bunch of time with Rainbow Dash on one of those days. I decided that playing 'Shadow' still might be too much for Fluttershy, so we just spent most of the day playing 'Town Square'. With the three of us it was very fun. An hour later, Princess Twilight, Filia, Rarity and Fiona had joined us. Pinkie brought Applejack soon after. This was such great fun! And we all played this most of that afternoon.
The fifth day, Sis and I just spent at her Cottage. We hugged a bunch, and talked too. It was very nice, just to spend time together calmly like that. Her Cottage is such a relaxing place, too.
I actually went home early that fifth evening. I knew my Stallion was wrapping up his work, and I just felt he would need me.
He was waiting for me as I headed in the door.
First, he mentioned that he would like me to help him do a last pass through what he had done, probably tomorrow. He mentioned that Fluttershy could help too, if she wanted. Then he mentioned that he would also like for Princess Twilight to help, since she played a key role for the later stages.
Well, I said Princess would probably enjoy this, and that we may very well end up with a bunch more ponies helping.
The Canterlot Recorder just smiled and said that he expected as much, but this seemed like such a fun task for everypony the last time they did this together.
Still, he mentioned that he really felt like he needed me tonight. I can guess that this whole account had been pretty draining on him, for a lot of reasons.
We flew to Princess' Castle, and talked to her about helping tomorrow. She said right away that she wanted Filia and Fiona there, and this might mean Rarity would come too. My Stallion joked that everypony could come, this would be more fun. I think Princess took him up on that.
Then we walked together to Fluttershy's Cottage, and my Stallion thanked her for 'keeping me out of trouble' while he did his work. Fluttershy made us all a nice dinner, we hugged and cried some at the door, and my Stallion and I left.
We went to 'my tree' near the castle, and my Stallion just cried on my shoulder. He said at one point that every time he had to work through the chapter where he had to rescue me, and 'bring me back'... It was just very difficult for him. He said he didn't ever want to lose me like that again... I just cried with him.
And taking me and Cel (well, Princess Celestia) to the Portal; he said that trip was the most difficult thing he had ever done. And every time he worked through this trip, he was just amazed at how well my Twin did. It was only later that this stuff caught up with her.
Our amazing friends had helped us all work past this terrible time. Having to write about it though, made it all real again to my Stallion. It was just a lot for him to carry alone. We cried together for a while.
We heard Princess Twilight, Filia and Fiona come out of the Castle for an early walk, and we joined them. That was just an amazing time.
After our walk, my Stallion and I headed to our home. We decided to sleep on the couch, as people, in our jogging clothes. I don't think either of us had any plans for the night; I think my Stallion just wanted to be close to me.
I moved the pillows around some, then I laid on my back, and had him climb over me and lay on his side against the back of the couch.
I put his head down on my chest, right below my neck, and he closed his eyes, sighed, and smiled immediately, and this made me cry. I want to be his 'comfort' when he needs it. I guess I am making progress on this.
We were both soon asleep.
