[The video starts up in her room and she appears quite unhappy, even nervous. An opened letter can be seen next to her.]

I... I need to come clean about something.

I..

I'm...

[She takes a deep breath before continuing.]

I'm attracted to mares and I'm dating Kreutzer.

[Even after dropping that bomb, it doesn't ease her nervousness. This was a big step for her. Sure, there was that post Hayate made a while back, but she wasn't ready to come out then. Heck, she wasn't completely ready to come out now, but she felt she needed to. Most likely because of the letter that's sitting on her bed.]

We've been together since the Gala, and even before then, we met during that incident at Hearts & Hooves day.

[Her ears droop.]

Kreutzer, I'm sorry I haven't been fair to you. I know I wanted us to go slow and keep our relationship quiet for a while, but I've been selfish.

[Part of her knew this won't be backlash, but she couldn't help but fear there will be.]

[She makes a nervous laugh.]

Thank you, Fluttershy and I'll be careful.

[She hasn't noticed that this is Cruelly, not Fluttershy. Oops.]

[cruel_kindness]

Fluttercruel. Long story that ends with me in the body, too.

Hey, we should get Pink up for a party for you.

[Visual]

[shyformerassistant]

Oh sorry. My mistake.

[So many Fluttershys.]

A party does sound like fun.

[Visual]

[cruel_kindness]

Nah, it seems to happen a lot in this Equestria. Not the first and definitely won't be the last.

So... party. Mom and I are thinking it should be at Sweet Apple Acres.

[shyformerassistant]

I haven't really visited the farm, but I would be fine with it if Kreutzer's okay with it.

[Visual]

[cruel_kindness]

She'll be okay with it. We're her friends and partners. Reaper partners, not... you know.

[Again she laughs, though it's more natural.]

Oh no, I wasn't thinking that at all. Nice to meet you, Fluttercruel.

[Visual]

[cruel_kindness]

You know it. Can't live life without a little dose of Cruelly, can you?

Nice to meet you, too. You've already met Mom, I suppose.

[Visual]

[shyformerassistant]

Um kind of. I know there's multiple versions of ponies around here, so I believe I met a different Fluttershy before.

[She met the Fluttershy that sometimes becomes Flutterbat.]

[Visual]

[cruel_kindness]

Yeah, but you meet one Flutterbutt, you meet them all.

[Cruelly's a little crass, but it's an endearing crass.]

[Visual]

[shyformerassistant]

[She'll let that slide. She doesn't know any of the Fluttershys well enough to say anything to that. Not even the one back home.]

If you say so.

[Visual]

[sailorlaughter]

We can throw a party for that now?

CAN WE? [She was told in very explicit terms not to do that for Bertie, so she'd taken that as a general rule. Her Equestria doesn't have enough taboos for coming-out parties to be a thing that really happens anyway; she's treading new ground.]

[Visual]

[cruel_kindness]

Yeah. She could use a party.

[Visual]

[sailorlaughter]

Awesome! We're SO on it!

[Visual]

[cruel_kindness]

We'll see you there, Pinks.
