6 Hearts [visual]
[Hey guys, Its Minako. And she looks quite thoughtful.]
Hey, guys? Maybe I'm just playing devil's advocate here, but I honestly think you guys need to give the princesses the benefit of the doubt on this one. And yeah, even Zetta.
Yeah, they kept things from us. That sucks, I get that. Maybe they should have been more open about that plan, or maybe not. I know a lot of ponies will use that against the princesses.
But in the end, I can't be angry at them this time. In fact, I completely understand why they did it. Sometimes we have to keep secrets to protect people. And sometimes, yeah, things will backfire when you do that. But that's the nature of being a leader. That's why being an alicorn here is earned, don't you think? Its not always straightforward and you have to make the best decisions that you can with what you know. Leaders...ponies in power...they don't have the luxury of being 100% transparent. Sometimes divulging the truth is more dangerous than than keeping the secret.
Besides. Hasn't it occurred to anyone that us being angry at the princesses for this - us acting like this - is exactly what the Pale Pony wants? The more she can manipulate our fear, the more our fear causes us to mistrust and even hate others, the more of an advantage she gets. She says friendship is a weakness? She says friendship doesn't matter? Well? We're just proving her right. And she'll keep stealing stars. Or, at least I'm pretty sure that's what Princess Celestia meant with that, because the whole Pale Pony absorbing stuff and...stuff.
...
I know ponies are mad, right now, and I admit I was cheesed off at Zetta when he first started this...but we need to show the Pale Pony that she's wrong about us, and that just because she's got all that power, doesn't mean she's right about that.
[With that, she gets down on one knee.]
So...Princess Celestia, Princess Luna...Overlord Zetta. I humbly apologize for not believing in you. I hope you can forgive me.

[action]
I'll think about it.
[action]
S'not an Agency of one, ya know. Keeps growin' all the time. [ Grin. ] Thanks fur that, by the way.
[action]
Well, it's not like we were going to let you keep circling our roof.
...
Though I'd imagine you would still try, even now.
[action]
... s'nice ta be inside, though, honestly. Sorta like bein' back home.
[action]
Yeah, they probably do.
[And becomes softer.] You're welcome as long as you like.
[action]
[ She's quiet, too. Maybe the Agency will be sort of like a family. Who knows?
... A family in which she's dating one of its members. So, okay then. ]
Ya better believe I'll help take care of ya, though. Wouldn' be much of a houseguest if I didn'. No more minions or devils or ... well-intentioned memory wipes comin' here. So ya don' haveta worry about it all th'time.
[action]
You're our guest, Kyouko. You don't have to do those things.
Re: [action]
[ She's a little disgruntled at the head bonk. ]
[action]
Oh come on, it wasn't that bad.
[action]
[ Light punch on the leg. Kyouko's the most mature. ]
[action]
[Mostest mature.]
[action]
S'you I'm worried about.
[action]
Me?
[action]
Duh. S'you 'm givin' stupid bear hugs to, not them. [ She waves a paw at the air. Because Minako and the Twilights are watching them from the sky. Obviously. ]
[action]
Yeah, but I'm fine. Really.
I mean, I might be stressed a little, what with the place taking a bit of a hit after everything. But things are looking up. We should be back to normal soon.
[action]
[ Sudden huge yawn. ] Ya tired? 'm tired. Think 'm gonna hit the closet. An' also, th'snacks.
[ She starts heading back inside. ] Comin'?
[action]
Okay, I've got to know. Is that a bear thing? I always thought Teddie was just being lazy...
[action]
Bears hibernate, don' they?
[action]
[action]
[ Wanders into the kitchen and starts going through the fridge. ]
[action]
[Just what this place needs. More food hogs. :<]
[action]
Need ta keep this better stocked. [ She emerges with a couple of cold cuts between her teeth.
