[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

Lots of things happened! Lots and lots and lots of things happened in the other worlds! Why do you ask?

Because you seem a little...flustered...?

There's absolutely no reason I would be flustered about anypony in my ballroom dancing class!

[Swing and a miss, Rainbow Dash.]

...Okay...?

[That's totally the sound of one of your closest friends believing you.]

[Oh good! Lucky Fluttershy believes her! Looking cheerful again, she taps her forehooves together.] Bet you never imagined I'd learn ballroom dancing, huh?

[~~Sarcasm, Dashie.~~]

Mm...I didn't think it was something you would be interested in...But if you wanted to, I don't see why not.

[~~Self-interested interpretation, Shy!~~]

It was mandatory. EVERYpony had to take it to graduate.

O-Oh... [That made a little more sense then.]

W-Well...at least you know it now...?

[Because that'll be useful.]

Yeah. [And Rainbow giggles into a hoof.] As a human! Soon as we all transform or something, I'm in great shape!

[Fluttershy giggled as well.]

W-Well...you'll never know when you might need it...

Yeah, just like physics and how to fly an airship or a mobile fortress, huh? I'm just full of talent waiting to burst out as soon as some really unlikely stuff happens!

Well, you never know...Things do happen here...There might be a time where they do come in handy.

It's like Twilight says...It's better to be over-prepared than under...

Yeah, but... I think the stuff I learned from you guys is what we need more than anything. All the fighting and magic and Junctioning and summoning I can do, that's all cool, but even if I didn't have it, we'd find a way just 'cuz nopony can stop us when we're together.

[Fluttershy smiled, nodding in agreement.] Mm...That's very true...

Lots of people have crazy abilities, and a bunch of 'em are way stronger even than me now. And for a while I even thought what I could do was what made me special, and different, and myself.

But I learned better!

Who you are is more than what you can do...And just being you is what makes you special...

Yeah. I was worried for a long time about making another me feel worse just because of everything I knew that made me awesome.

Guess I still had a lot to learn!

We all still have a lot to learn, I think...But we can all learn together, right?

Heh, sure hope you don't mind learning with a bunch of OTHER Fluttershys!

[She giggles.] Mm...I've met one of the other Fluttershy's already...

It's...a little strange, but...It's not the weirdest thing ever...

Oh yeah? I mean, I can say the same, because I have met so many different versions of your girls out there it's crazy, but what was the weirdest?

Well...I think the strangest thing would be that -

[She stopped, then suddenly blushed and glanced away.]

U-Uh...

Yeaaaaaaaaaah?

[Rainbow: Significantly more blunt than Fluttershy.]

[Her blush darkened as she fidgeted a bit, a little embarrassed.]

I-It's...uh...I-It's...n-nothing...

It's totally something! C'mon, Fluttershy, tell me!

[Yep. Ever as tactful and respectful of boundaries as always.]
