Uh, hey girls? [Not good, she's already blushing a little and looking just a little freaked.]

Minato asked me to the Gala. As a real date. And I would really, really appreciate some distraction or anything that'll keep me from freaking out right about now!!

I gotta say, there's two ponies I feel sorry for their human counterparts, and that's me and Twilight. [Rainbow leans back, folding her forelegs behind her head as she thinks.] I mean, Fluttershy without wings probably doesn't even notice the difference. And Rarity can do her fashion stuff without magic, no problem! But me and Twi without wings and a horn?

[forwantofapartycannon]

[ A blink. ] Why would you? You can manifest wings back home once in a while through the right powers and access. And magic isn't dead in our world, it still thrives in the form of friendship.

[ The amount of times the girls had wings, hair, ears out of nowhere was becoming regular back home. It just wasn't apparent with Pinkie at the moment since she had gone full pony. ]

[elementofloyalty]

...Pinkie, you remember I've been human before, right? And popping out wings is not something humans can do.

[Not that it would SURPRISE her. Nothing really SURPRISES her any more. It just seems unlikely and against what she knows.]

[forwantofapartycannon]

Oh yeah?

[ Quickly pausing the movie, she brought up a photograph of the mane six with wings and long tailed hair and ears. ] See? Told you it happens. And that magic still retains within us, I just don't use it for the most part. Not since I'm full pony now.

[elementofloyalty]

[Rainbow stares at the picture a long minute.]

Okay, that's not human. You're gonna have to explain this one to me.

[forwantofapartycannon]

Wellllll...! [ And Pinkie launched into a long monologue about Equestria Girls, telling her that yes they're all colored like that back home, yes Twilight came to their world through a magic mirror, and yes the magic of friendship awakened their latent magical powers. ]

Simple, see?

[elementofloyalty]

...So what you're saying is, you guys are kinda all different than most humans. And you're not even like the Pinkie Pie from Garden.

Weeeeeeeeird.

[forwantofapartycannon]

That about sums it up. But we're not different-different, we're just full of the potential with the magic of friendship.

[elementofloyalty]

But that's everypony anyway.

Guess there's still even more out there that I don't understand. [Rainbow sighs.] Wonder if it's my job to go everywhere until I DO.

[forwantofapartycannon]

Yeah, but its locked away in our world for the time being.

Aw don't worry bout that. You just need to concentrate on the here and now I think.

[elementofloyalty]

It CAN'T be a coincidence that I've been more places and done more things than anypony else here, newpony or old, though! It's gotta mean SOMEthing.

[forwantofapartycannon]

It might. It also might mean you've just been through a lot. Not dissuading the fact, but you can't be always doing something. Right?

[elementofloyalty]

Pinkie. I'm Rainbow Dash. When am I NOT doing something?

[forwantofapartycannon]

Well don't you even slow down for Daring Do?

[elementofloyalty]

But I'm still DOING stuff! Reading is doing stuff! Watching a movie is doing stuff!

[forwantofapartycannon]

Still, being on the go all the time means you need more nap times too.

[elementofloyalty]

I don't do that AS much any more. Back in Garden, they had you on the go from way early to way late, every day but the weekends! I didn't even have a CHANCE to nap some days.

[forwantofapartycannon]

So... what's stopping you from taking a nap every so often?

[elementofloyalty]

Nothing's stopping me! I still do it!

Just... not as MUCH as I used to, y'know?

[forwantofapartycannon]

Well that's good. You wouldn't be Rainbow without taking a nap anywhere you chose.

[elementofloyalty]

You wouldn't BELIEVE how many different places I've slept since getting back here!

[...she really ought to get a home.]

[forwantofapartycannon]

Wait, doesn't that make you a hobo then? Just wondering because you don't have a cloud home yet from what I've seen.

[elementofloyalty]

I napped wherever I wanted when I DID have my old cloud home. Why would things be different now?

[forwantofapartycannon]

This is true. I wasn't really thinking about that.

[elementofloyalty]

[Whew, disaster averted.] So there you go. I'm Ponyville's top Sleep-Anywherer.
