Spike's Diary

Dear Diary,

Another friendship mission today, and it seems that it's now the turn of Starlight and Sunburst. I'm excited about what they're going to need to do, but they were a bit down on the whole thing. You see, the place they've been sent to is none other than Sire's Hollow, their hometown. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd be pretty happy whenever the chance to go and visit Canterlot comes up. But, hey, I guess not everypony is as fond of their homes as we are. Still, at the very least, the two were game for it, so me and Twilight wished them luck as they boarded the train and headed on off.

I do wonder sometimes about why certain ponies get chosen for this stuff. Or, I guess I should say creatures since I was chosen once too. And what's more, Equestria is big, as are the lands beyond it. So how does it makes sense that only one friendship problem is happening at a time? Shouldn't it be all over, like, twenty-four-seven or something? But you know, maybe the map doesn't want to overwhelm the ponies it sends so it just picks out the important ones?

Huh, look at me, getting sucked into speculation again. If ever there was a time to rest up with a nice cup of tea, it's now.
