To the Bearers and to their Highnesses, Celestia, Luna and Cadenza -

( Oh, starless night! )

I need rockets.

[Minato what.]

Not big ones. I need some of those small rockets you find in model kits. Magic-powered, fuel-powered, whatever's available here. Needs to be a bit more than five kilograms of lift each, and I'd say...

[He looks offscreen for a moment to count something.]

Around eighty rockets in total, give or take.

[So it's been a pretty rough couple of weeks, yeah? What with the sudden appearance of a raving space pony from nowhere and now the lingering disappearance of the people as they attempt to take down said pony. Really things have been tense! And sometimes in the midst of everything, you just got to hear a kind word or two.]

[And one person that has been most affected by the missing appearance of one such friend was Teddie. Try as she might, Chie knew that he was hurting behind that goofy smile. So on this particular day, Chie took Teddie to the back room of the candy shop.]

So... um... Teddie... I just want you to know...

[She raises a hand behind her back as she brings herself to say the next few words.]

( Is... is that music? )

So what's with this "pull" I keep hearing about?

I mean, I died once already. Shouldn't I feel some kind of pull?

The only pull I feel is my stomach telling me it's Space Food Time.

[And he noms some.]
