So it would seem the sleeping crisis is over. I'm glad that mess has gotten sorted out; it got in the way of my announcement. I wish I could have done this sooner, but there is not changing that now.

[She sounds serious. Could it be bad news?]

I'm sure you all remember the fun times you had during Hearts and Hooves Day, especially a select group of you who were 'encouraged' to go out and have a date.

[Nope, not bad news, nor anything serious.]

I do hope you all enjoyed it. It took me a while to set that all up. In the end, however, I feel things turned out far better than I had expected. I had intended it as simply a veiled way for you to make a new friend, but some groups may have gotten a little more out of it~. I could not be more pleased, and I look forward to both your thanks and your angry letters.

Ah, and Tails? Reimi? I am terribly sorry for the incident with the cloud. I overestimated the strength of the enchantment; had it lasted a half-hour longer it would have put you down on the ground before wearing off.

I've seen things. Heard things. An entire stable slowly killed off because one person made a tiny mistake... I've even been addicted to a type of drug once... Mint-als.

And the raiders...Ponies that do nothing but steal, torture, maim, mug, and kill to survive, never once even thinking of working or asking if they can get the stuff they need...

As soon as I get back, I'll continue working to put a stop to it.

[She knew there was a reason she avoided wasteland planets.]

I see.

[In her position, Celestia might rather stay in this Equestria rather than go back, but she most likely has her reasons.]

I cannot offer any help in that regard, but I wish you luck nonetheless. You are taking on a feat even a Princess would have difficulty with.

[Praise: One of Littlepip's weaknesses.]

...Well... I bet anyone could do what I need to do... I just need to find all the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. I've already found two of them...

[Do you see the humble?]

No task is as simple as can be described. Can it truly be done by any individual? Or perhaps only one with your particular set of skills?

I- It's just- but- it-...

...A- anything can be the spark...!

[Littlepip's not used to not being humble at all. Does it show?]

[She can tell.]

...Are you sure you want to continue this game with me?

[Littlepip just flops to the ground, buries her head in her hooves, and lets out an embarrassed groan.]

I thought so.

[Never challenge a politician, even a former politician, to a contest of words.]

...But, back to the original point, should I do this again, rest assured I will provide incentives other than stealing.

Even if that stealing was the most fun I've had in a while.

[It takes a small moment for her to recover and get out from under her hooves. Couldn't you just let a girl be humble?]

...Yeah. That'll probably be for the best.

...I had fun with Princess Luna, though...

[Nope. That's not how she rolls.]

I thought you would.

I wouldn't mind watching another movie with her. ...And I helped her out with that dream problem.

[She lifts her leg up to show off per PipBuck.]

This thing's also useful for identifying chemicals and stuff that people ingest.

So I noticed.

Don't be afraid to ask her if you want to spend more time with her. I highly doubt she would disagree.
