(Now there's a very familiar somepony.)

It's weird not having your horn, but I know you can adjust, Rarity. Besides, your hair still looks lovely!

(Oh man, she's hoping it's not the same thing with Pinkie...)

Quite a few times, actually! It's me...Cadence.

(Phew...glad that she doesn't have to explain things to Rarity, then. She shakes her head.)

He hasn't...not yet, at least. From what Twilight told me, anypony can appear at anytime. He just hasn't appeared yet.

But there are several other ponies here, already! Besides myself, there's Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, Applejack, Spike and now you're here with us, too!

She was apparently here by the time Spike and I arrived, but she went back to Ponyville afterwards. Twilight knows more about how that works than I do, but I still hope she's alright...

(She frowns as her thoughts go out to the pegasus. Shortly afterwards, she smiles again.)

...If it's any consolation, it's not so bad being here. It's actually a lot of fun!

(Cadence giggles.)

I don't think anypony knows where the way out is, but I don't think they'd be too opposed to a few new outfits along the way, don't you think?

I am! And once Twilight finds out you're here, I bet she'll fly right over to pick you up! Her Dragonite is so friendly...

But maybe your Pokemon will be able to help with that! With all the things they can do, I don't think making fabric would be too out of reach.

(Being adorable has its uses, Rarity.

Cadence gestures for her Pokemon to come over, the Audino curiously peering at the camera before greeting Rarity and her Pokemon with an enthusiastic wave.)

This is Chime. She's an Audino! According to my Pokedex, she can determine when an egg is going to hatch.

She does, actually. Most of the time, she sings to fit into the situation she's in. That's why I named her as such.

(She giggles.)

Maybe not as a princess, but as a breeder, I can definitely take advantage of that.

Well yes, but bred Pokemon certainly have their appeal, just like pets. Isn't Opal a pure bred?

I think this place decided for me, but it's a decision I'm okay with! They're so adorable and fun to take care of...just like foals!

A few, but not very many! Twilight was very well behaved at that age, as a matter of fact; she loved her books and always listened to others...she was actually a delight to raise!

The problem was pulling her away from her books and convincing her to make friends with others. She was just fine at home, but didn't go anywhere without any of us with her unless it was to school. She always loved learning new things.

That sounds just like Twilight...so willing to do things on her own. She's always been the leader type.

Still, I'm really glad she's made such wonderful friends like you and the others.

(Oh Rarity, you should know by now how strict Cadence isn't about that sort of thing. She's not exactly normal, herself.)

I'm looking forward to the quantity time. I always love when you and the others visit the Crystal Empire, but now we can truly spend time with each other.

(Really Rarity, seeing how excited Cadence is about the prospect should help alleviate some of that worry. Hopefully.)
