mylittlejamjar | [022] Written/Action (2/6

I'm sorry about what happened yesterday.

While I hadn't meant to make that message, it doesn't excuse my behavior and I sincerely apologize for that and for those I had hurt. I will try my best not to run my mouth like that in the future.

[Action - TT!Shy (Backdated to morning of 2/6)]

[Tails figures he should apologize to Fluttershy first so he goes looking for her. He flies all over Ponyville. Depending on where she is, he may either be able to run into her or go to the Fluttershyes' cottage.

He just hoped he didn't run into any of her friends on the way.]

[Action - 3G!Tails (Backdated to afternoon of 2/6)]

[He hasn't seen his double since yesterday after their conversation. He knew he really screwed up with him, but at least he had a good idea where he would be.

He does spot him, but instead of just directly going up to him, instead he keeps a distance and summons his persona as quietly as he could.

Once summoned, he gives Aquila a written message saying "I'm sorry. Can we talk?" and Aquila holds the message in his mouth.

Aquila walks right up to the older Tails and makes a wimpering noise, both to get his attention and because of the sadness the younger Tails is feeling. He points to the message with a claw.]

[Action - Trixie (Forward dated to 2/7)]

[Despite his best efforts, he couldn't find her after speaking with Fluttershy and his double. He resumed his search for her.

He felt dread during all this. He and Trixie have never been on good terms and it's very likely she won't accept the apology and call him a monster again. Possibly even outright attack him.

He really hoped it didn't come to that. Especially if they are in the Night Market.]

[He doesn't know that.

He does cringe slightly. Although he didn't understand love, he could understand rejection.]

Ouch. That sounds like it hurt.

[She nods.] It did...I had never felt that way about anyone before, and...somehow, him not being sure of his feelings for me hurt even more than if he just didn't feel the same way. Because...there was still the chance he could, you know?

But more than anything, I was afraid of losing him. Even though I had these feelings for him, he was still a close friend...but he promised that it would never happen. And though it wasn't easy, we still managed to stay friends.

The longer we were friends, though...the closer we became...

[He supposed in a way that kinda made sense. Even if he didn't mean to, he was basically teasing her with her feelings.]

Closer?

[He kinda had that impression that she had dated this guy, but looks like that was exactly the case.]

[She nods.] We spent a lot of time together...trying to still be friends. And even after trying to tell myself that it wouldn't work, for a number of different reasons...the fact is, I couldn't stop loving him, even if I wanted to.

And after a while, I realized I didn't. I wanted to love him, to be in love with him...even if it was hard. If the feelings went away on their own, then it was okay. But until then...I liked having him in my heart.

[Sheesh.]

When did he return your feelings?

I'm...not sure exactly when. After a certain point, the Digital World sent us all back home, where the memories of out time there were...suppressed. We didn't forget, but we didn't exactly...remember.

But then...when we were able to go back to the Digital World...when we were able to see each other again...we realized how much we missed each other when we were apart...even if we didn't remember.

That's when he told me...that he had feelings for me too.

[That fact that she can tell him that is pretty clear they got their memories back eventually.]

Seems to be a common thing when people get thrown around different worlds like a yo-yo.

Mm...it does seem that way when you go back and forth...

[But there was a point to this story, not just to reminisce about the past.]

Getting to be with him...I won't lie, it wasn't easy. Even though I took on the form of a human there...the fact remained that I wasn't. And we were only together when we were in the Digital World, which meant things at home - for either of us - could change things.

But...I don't regret it for a second. No matter what happens...even if this doesn't work out between us...I'm so thankful for getting a chance to experience it. Even if this doesn't work out in the end...even if we both someday move on...I love him...I'll always love him.

So...So when you said that relationships are a waste of time...it hurt...because it felt like...like the things we went through...everything we did to get to where we are now, to make it work...all of that didn't matter in the end...that it doesn't amount to anything.

That I'm wasting my time caring for someone...who's become so important to me.

[And that causes a stab in the heart. He was kinda expecting it but it didn't hurt any less. His ears droop and he looks away.]

I'm sorry.

It's...It's okay. I...I know you didn't mean it like that.

I never...expected to fall in love. But I'm glad it found me...and even with all the hardships and tough times...I would be happy to do it all again.

You don't need love to be happy...no one is saying you have to go find it. But...there are times when it just happens...and if it does...there's nothing wrong with taking the chance...even if it doesn't work out in the end.

...Okay.

[Well, that was one pony down. Two more to go. He just hoped his double forgives him as he's pretty sure Trixie won't.]

...Will you do something for me, though?

Yes. What is it?

Just...try to keep your mind...and your heart...open to the possibility...okay?

[He nods. He was already gonna do so thanks to Pokey's words.]

[Returning the nod, Fluttershy smiles.] Then I forgive you.

[Really, she was going to forgive him at any rate, but knowing that he would at least give love a chance made her feel a lot better.]
