51 (Mickey's Rival)

[Video - Minnie is in Ecruteak, holding up her gear as she walks around.]

Hello, everyone! This is a very important announcement, so I would like you all to pay attention. As some of you may not know... [She turns the gear towards the damaged theater.] ... the poor dears, the Kimono Girls, were recently attacked and their theater was ripped apart. The people behind it got away, but that doesn't mean we can't help out. With that in mind, I have a solution to help the girls!

[She whips the gear back to show her face.] In ten days, my friends and I are going to hold a play, right here in Ecruteak! We'll be performing the classic tale of Snow White live over everyone's Pokegears! It'll be a fundraiser, as we'll be asking for donations throughout the show, and all proceeds will go right to the Kimono Girls. But we can't do it alone! I'm asking for as many volunteers as we can get, to show our support for the girls!

I'll be more than happy to fly you in so you can lend a hand! And we're going to need actors and actresses to fill in the roles! The Magic Mirror, the Evil Queen, Prince Charming, The Huntsman, Snow White, and of course all seven darling little dwarfs! Oooh, this is going to be so much fun~!

It's no less than they deserve. I wouldn't be the person I am now if not for them.

At any rate, I am interested, just... I'm not quite sure yet. I'll talk to you with my final answer soon, Miss...?

[her_mouse_jesty]

My name is Minnie Mouse. What's yours?

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

I'm Twilight Sparkle. It's nice to meet you, Minnie.

... Um, I'm sorry if this is an awkward question, but before you got here, were you an... actual mouse?

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

it's all right, I've gotten that question a lot. And yes, I was.

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

Interesting. I was starting to think my friends and I were in a unique position.

We were ponies back home, you see.

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Oh! It's so good to know I'm not alone! One of my good friends is a horse back home!

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

Really? Oh, but I assume they aren't here, are they...?

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

No, but that's for the best. He belongs at home... Clarabelle would just worry to death if he was gone.

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

That's really true of all of us, but I think I see what you mean. For some it just seems especially wrong that they're stuck here.

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

It can't be helped, and dwelling on it too much will just sadden us. We should focus on who we have with us now, and appreciate what we love.

[Video]

[friendyousohard]

... Yeah. That's really the wisest course of action.

[It sounds like something Celestia would say, really.]

And on that note, I have to go talk to a friend now. I'll get back to you as soon as I can, though.

[Video]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Take your time, Twilight!

[Video/Action]

[friendyousohard]

Thanks.

[She cuts off the gear connection, and immediately gets up and heads for Fluttershy's room.]

'Shy! Are you in? I've got something to talk to you about!

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

I'm in... you can come in.

[She's currently brushing down her Chansey~]

[Action]

[friendyousohard]

[She steps inside and immediately stops in the door for a moment, just staring at the sight in front of her. Awwwww, that's adorable.

Closing the door behind her once she's done admiring, she seats herself down next to Fluttersy.]

Alright, I'll start at the beginning. Do you know about what happened in Ecruteak, with the Kimono girls?

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

[She frowns, nodding.]

Oh, yes... that was so awful, I was scared for days when I heard about it... how are they?

[Action]

[friendyousohard]

They're still not doing so well. I think they're healing, but their theater is in ruins, and they won't be able to put on shows for a while. It needs to be rebuilt, and it seems they don't really have the money for that.

That's where we come in. See, there's this woman I was talking to, Minnie Mouse, who thinks we can help them. She's planning on putting on a play for charity and sending the donations to the girls.

But she needs volunteers.

[You can see where she's going with this, Fluttershy.]

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

[... It takes her a moment... and then... oh! Her eyes widen.]

You think we can help out?

[Action]

[friendyousohard]

I know we can. It'll be just like the annual Hearth's Warming Eve celebration! You've participated before, right?

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

I guess so... And it would be so nice to help out others. I love to help.

[Action]

[friendyousohard]

Great! I knew you'd agree! Okay, we'll just have to get to Ecruteak then. She said she could fly anyone in that wanted to help, do you think we should do that? Or just walk? It's not that far away.

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

I don't mind either way... Whatever is best for you.

[Action]

[friendyousohard]

Hmmm... then let's go by foot. I don't mind walking that long as long as it's not on my own, and I'm sure she'll have quite a few other people to fly in.

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

Okay! I'll start packing right away.

[Chansey chirps, wanting to help as well.]

[Action]

[friendyousohard]

Alright! I will too, and I'll call her back to tell her we're coming.

... And Fluttershy... [She leans in and hugs her close.] Thanks for agreeing so quickly.
