[Today's scroll is brought to you by a small brown rabbit, who appears very curious as he looks into it.]

Huh...these things are way weirder than the D-Terminals... [The rabbit clears his throat and smiles.] Hey everyone! ...Pony? ...Pony. Right. Hey everypony! My name's Choco. I'm one of Fluttershy's Digimon!

What are you doing?

[The brown rabbit, Choco, glances behind him before scooting over a bit, revealing a green and red dragon giving him a rather exasperated look.]

That's Sprout. She's Fluttershy's other Digimon.

Seriously? Here too?

She's just grumpy that coming to this world apparently changed our forms too. [He turns to her, though still keeps an eye on the scroll.] At least you're a dragon. I don't think I can do much of anything as a rabbit.

[The dragon known as Sprout rolls her eyes, then reaches for him.] All right, that's enough, bunny boy...

But I'm not done....

[There's not much he can do, though, as the bigger dragon picks him up and carries him off. As she does that, Fluttershy herself appears on the scroll. This close up, one can see the dragonfly clip in her mane, and she looks at the scroll with a puzzled expression, as though she's not quite used to using it.]

I-I, um...I'm sorry...about them. Ch-Choco was just...a little excited about following me home...but, um...

I-Is...something going on in Ponyville? Th-There...There seems to be a lot more ponies than usual, and...i-it feels like...

[She hesitates for a moment, not quite sure how to describe it.]

Has...Has something happened lately?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Hmm...

[Definitely a lot like being in the Digital World.]

Y-You...You said that this isn't...your Equestria? What...What is it like where you're from?

Oh, it's very similar! Only... fewer ponies. Which is... I mean, it's how I prefer it, but all the ponies and kitties and dragons I've come to know here are very nice, too, so...

It's just... a little different, is all. [ Swallows. ] What's it like where... where you're from?

I-It...It's kind of like where you're from, it sounds like. Just a little different, and not many ponies in town...

[As they've been talking, Fluttershy and her Digimon have been making their way to the cottage. As they were crossing the bridge, Choco hopped off Fluttershy and hurried on ahead, knocking on the door.]

[ Fluttershy opens the door, surprised to hear a knock so soon, and finds herself looking at... well, a bunny first, and then herself. ]

Oh! Hi! [ She opens the door wider. ] Please come in.

[ Angel pokes out from between her legs and sniffs at Chocobo. ]

Oh, I'm so sorry. The tea isn't quite ready yet. Just a minute. [ She hurries back into the kitchen, leaving the door open. ]

[Choco grins, waving at the white rabbit.] Hi! You must be Angel. I'm Choco!

Oh, goodness...I'm sorry if we're too early...I-Is there anything I can help with?

Oh, no! You're okay!

[ Angel squints suspiciously at Choco. ~~Who are you, stranger~~ ]

[ Fluttershy does bring out the tea shortly. ] Here...

[~~He just wants to be friends man.~~

Getting settled in the cottage, Fluttershy helps pour the tea.] Thank you...

Of course!

[ She takes her own and sips it. ] It's wonderful to meet you, and your friends... [ Angel, meanwhile, hops over to the table to receive a carrot from Fluttershy. He nibbles on it and continues to watch Chocobo. ]

[She smiles, watching as Choco hops over as well while giving Sprout a cup of tea for herself.]

Yes...it's nice to meet you too...even if it is a bit strange to be meeting...um...a version of me...

I... know it is. I'm sorry. But... you're taking it a lot better than I did! I... hid outside my house for an hour or so.

O-Oh, it's all right...you have nothing to be sorry for. These kind of things, um...happen...I guess...when ponies from different worlds...or even the same world, just different times... are pulled into one...

Yeah... I guess this Ponyville is just a little strange that way... b-but, there are some wonderful ponies here, too...

[ Angel offers Chocobo... a single slice of the carrot. ~~Well it's a start~~. ]

[She nodded.] M-Mm...I've met quite a few several ponies who were very kind to me.

[Meanwhile, Choco grins happily, accepting the food with an eager, "Thanks!"]

[ Fluttershy nods back, smiling at Angel actually getting along with someone for once. ]

I-if you want, you're welcome to stay here... there's extra room, and there were two Fluttershys staying here until recently...

Oh...that's very kind of you...but are you sure it's all right? Especially if there are others staying here...

With the Choco and Sprout with me, I wouldn't want us to...take up too much space...

Of course! ... It's just me, right now. And all these little guys...

[ The animals surrounding them (the ones paying attention, anyway) blink at the Fluttershys. They definitely would have no problems with two of them. ]

O-Oh...I see...W-Well...Twilight did offer to let me stay with her in the commune...but I'll certainly think about it...

[While she would like to stay in the cottage, she also didn't want to leave Twilight alone without any kind of notice.]

What...happened to the others? If...you don't mind me asking...

Um... the Fluttershy who used to live here ... disappeared. [ She rubs Angel's head absently, a little sadly. ] The... the Pale Pony got her.

G...G-Got her...? [She was filled with a sudden feeling of dread.] What...What does that mean...?

It... um. [ She has a hard time explaining it herself. ] Well... when p-ponies leave here, we thought th-they just went back home, b-but... it sounds like the P-Pale Pony m-might have been... taking them all along.

[ ... WELCOME TO PONYVILLE ]

O-Oh no...! She's taking them...? Why?

W-we don't know... we're still trying to ... f-figure it out...

Th...Th-That's terrible...! So...So if she takes them...they might never get home...?
