51 (Mickey's Rival)

[her_mouse_jesty]

[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~!

[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.

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

[She smiles, returning the hug gently.]

Of course... you're my friend, and we get to help people. Those are the best things!

[Not to mention it has nothing to do with dangerous rockets, so yes, FULLY ENCOURAGING THIS.]

[Action]

[friendyousohard]

[Yep, aside from the fact that the Rockets wrecked the theater in the first place.]

I knew you'd say something like that. You're the best, Fluttershy.

[She gives her a little pony nuzzle before standing, letting her go.]

Alright. When would you like to leave? I know you'll have to tell the people here you're going and let them get a replacement, so I can wait a day or two if you need it.

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

[details, details.]

I guess tomorrow would be all right. I'll handle telling them what I'm doing... I hope they don't mind...

[Action]

[friendyousohard]

I'm sure they'll be upset to lose you, but they'll have to understand, right? This is important.

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

And I'm sure they can find somepony better to do it...

[Action]

[friendyousohard]

Fluttershy, you are a wonderful nurse. Don't ever think any less of yourself.

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

[she squeaks, shyly ducking her head, but Chansey chirps in agreement! She even begins walking around to try and clean up the room to help out.]

[Action]

[friendyousohard]

[Twilight chuckles a little and pats her shoulder.]

I mean it. You've been doing a great job here, both at your work and at supporting us both. I really appreciate all you've done. So don't put yourself down about it, alright?

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

Okay... I'll do my best for you. For all of us.

[Action]

[friendyousohard]

I know you will. And so will I.

[She heads for the door.] Let me know if you need any help or anything, alright?

[Action]

[3_butterflies]

A-huh... We'll be quick. No need to worry.

[Action/Voice]

[friendyousohard]

Okay.

[She shuts the door and heads back up to her room, pulling out her gear again to recontact Minnie.]

[Voice]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Hello hello, this is Minnie!

[Voice]

[friendyousohard]

Minnie, this is Twilight again. I've decided to come to Ecruteak, and I'm bringing a friend along.
