Hey, girls? [Filtered to the Mane 6 (all variants), visual]

[elementofloyalty]

[For somepony who is as fit and well as ever, Rainbow Dash sure looks like a kicked puppy as she opens the message.]

Hey, girls? Can we just... spend a day hanging out? It's been way too long since all six of us in, uh, any combination, were together.

I'm assuming most of you guys are still talking to me, so. Yeah. Can we?

[appletastic]

...beat me to it, again. Sure I could.

[Hello, look who's being sheepish now.]

Uh...that is, if you still want me to. I was a right fool in that storm back there.

[elementofloyalty]

We both were. Forget it. We're cool, Applejack.

[She wanted to assume that, but actually hearing it helps more than she is willing to admit.]

[appletastic]

[She finally smiles. That's a relief.]

...yeah, I was wrong. You're still my true friend.

Anyway...like I said, I was gonna suggest this if you didn't beat me to it.

[Playful exasperation here.]

I was talking with Japple the other night, and I'm pretty sure we need this. To remember who we are to each other, and that however many of us pop up, we've all got a place.

[usedpartycannon]

Yeah I'm up for it. Been a while since we got a get-together going.

[elementofloyalty]

A real long time. Way too long. It's kinda funny to think about how we've all grown and changed...

[usedpartycannon]

As much as I hate to exclude anypony, we could have a mini-party, like a day out or a picnic when the weather improves or just get together at one of our homes for movies.

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...I'd really like that.

[visual]

[elementofloyalty]

I think we need it. Gotta get back to our roots, you know? After everything I've been through, you guys are still all my best friends.

[visual]

[strengthinkindness]

[Fluttershy nods.] Mm...I really miss spending time with you girls.

[goalriff]

Would the six of us include Sunset Shimmer?

[She's down for it.]

We don't have a Twilight where I'm from. [At least, she's not too sure on that one.] We know Twilight from Equestria so she makes seven of us.

[elementofloyalty]

Huh? You guys have a seventh friend?

[Rainbow Dash had never heard the story about Twilight's involvement with that world and the role Sunset Shimmer played in it.]

[goalriff]

It's kind of a long story.

[They'll fix that at some point!]

[kind_to_all]

Yes, please. [ She honestly looks a little relieved. ] I think I really need that, right now...

[elementofloyalty]

Yeah, me too! Different reasons, but...

[Getting sniped at for her beliefs really stings. Her friends will never abandon her even if they don't agree with her.]

[marearcana]

Absolutely. It really has been too long.

[And now for the difficult part: finding a time that will work for somewhere between twelve and sixteen ponies.]

[elementofloyalty]

Heh, that's putting it mildly. I don't want you guys to ever forget what you mean to me.

[marearcana]

I don't think that's what I need to be worried about.

[Twilight is pretty sure she doesn't need to be, either - whether she forgets, or whether it was never real. But either way, she can't be the only one who knows.]

[mostloyalpony]

Yeah! I'm so up for a get-together! It's been way too long since we all hung out, you know?

(Wendigos and horrible movies notwithstanding.)

: (Visual)

[elementofloyalty]

Heeeeey, I kinda have a weird request. But you gotta promise not to laugh at me.

[friendshipxfriendship]

Do you really have to ask?

[elementofloyalty]

...After our conversation the other day, yeah. I do. A lot of people don't take that opinion I have really well at all.

[Visual]

[caneattheseapples]

Shit. I'll probably end up ruining the damn thing but hell. I'm game to try if you don't mind me there.

[Visual]

[elementofloyalty]

Whoa, hey. Don't you give me that. You're coming and don't think you're getting out of it.

[sailorlaughter]

Oooooh! That sound great!

[elementofloyalty]

Really, Pinkie? You think a day spent hanging out with all your friends sounds great? I didn't expect that at all.

[Her sarcasm is nothing but fond affection.]
