I don't understand...

Princess Celestia told me she allowed the show to be made because she wanted more humans to know the magic of friendship.

Why is enjoying a bad thing?

Rather fitting...

Fox thrashes ponies... and a pony comes on.

Anemoi, maybe you can explain it to me.

Are humans really that bad that they can't understand the magic of friendship?

[up]ah, well, it's a bit complicated. I'm sure pony culture has certain unwritten 'rules', right? Well, one of our 'rules' is that people aren't allowed to like things that weren't made with them, or at least their sort of group, in mind.

And it's a bit deeper than just 'not' being allowed to like something.

Twilight, when a human grows up, society has expectations of them, as I'm sure ponies have in Equestria. Fox News is implying that people who like MLP are breaking those expectations and leeching off what we refer to as 'welfare.'

Not "Fox News" as much as "some chuckleheads on KTVI's morning show thing"

I...

I'm sorry. Humans are just so... different than ponies.

Why would someone care what a different person likes? I mean, does this wellfare really mean that much?

Because we like using silly things as excuses to feel superior.

weeell...welfare is other peoples money. Now, mostly people aren't too upset about being forced to share (though they don't like it), because it's for stuff they consider big, like being disabled - reasonable stuff, you know. People we need to take care of.

As for what people like...well, it's weird. Like I said, it's just sort of a rule. It's not a law, or anything, but it's just sort of accepted that certain people like certain things, and a lot of people don't like it when things that they accept don't mesh with the way things actually are.

Twilight, there are things about humans that you ponies would dispise. If you judged us by those things alone, I'm sure Princess Celestia would order a pruge of us to protect Equestria.

But...

There is great good in humans. You ponies have given us another way to express it.

If the princess ever has any doubts about humans, please show her this video

Umm, I'm sorry I took so long to post. That video... it was just so

Wonderful.

Everyone, I'd like to share a letter I just wrote. And I'd like to try something new.

Dear Princess Celestia.

Today, I learned a difficult lesson. I learned that not everypony, or everyhuman you meet will be as nice and as friendly as you hope they are. Sometimes, they're just downright mean, and there isn't a thing you can do about it. But I also learned that, for every mean pony or person you meet, you'll meet three genuinely nice people who care just as much about you as you do about them. I learned this from the humans on the internet. I think that they really have earned the title of 'Brony'

Your faithful student,

Twilight Sparkle

That was my first time trying one of these Markup things. Did I do it right?

Alright, finished up a little earlier today, but I think I rushed the perspective on a few things, since I've run out of time to draw for the rest of the day. Anyway, it's a good thing I'm learning to curb myself. What I originally envisioned would probably fill 3 comic pages.

The battle of Twilights continue!

Aww, Thanks Twilight. And don't worry, you got the markup right.

Still, they're not really all that mean - at least, not on purpose. They're just sort of...well, I suppose confused is the best way of saying it.

Wow, talk about mood whiplash...

Twilight references us in a letter TO THE FRIKEN PRINCESS about a friendship lesson we helped her learn... and Kuori comes in with a comic where Twilight battles an evil version of herself.

Twi, I hope you don't take that the wrong way.

It's alright Anemoi.

After I read that story, Cupcakes I think it was, I kinda leared that humans enjoy writing stories. Even if those stories aren't always true.

Though I'd STILL like a word with whatever person wrote that. Poor Pinkie Pie... she was so upset after I told her about it, she nearly stopped eating cupcakes altogether.

I like to pretend that story didn't happen.

At all.

Trust us Twi, there are far more interesting and uplifting stories on the internet.

[up]x7 Haha, as Rainbow Dash would say: "Um, oops, sorry."? tongue

@Anon: I'm kind of winging it, but basically everything canon Twilight knows, plus a telekinetic energy burst attack (part 3) and a couple flame based projectiles (I put a hadoken equivalent in part 2 and something of a small instant flame explosion in part 4).

@Twilight: You've already encountered another copy of yourself, yes? So theoretically it could be possible for you to encounter a not so nice version of yourself too, right? EDIT: Adding that I'd never like an evil version of my favourite pony more than the original to make things clear.

EDIT: @Fallen Hehe, well, I don't really have the beginning of the story, perse. Since I'm doing this as part of the training grounds, I'm winging it a bit, so I jump right into the battle, which so far takes place over 4 pages:

Also, because of the way training grounds has worked, I ended up drawing something I envision to be at the end of the conflict.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. I got my own file name wrong. The first link should be fixed now.
