Friendship Is Kindness

The construction of the new house for my husband and me was under way.

A white unicorn mare had drawn the blueprints for the house.

An orange Earth pony mare was helping to make planks for the house’s frame.

Rainbow Dash—the blue pegasus mare that I’d met earlier—was helping to make the planks stand up.

All the while, a pink Earth pony mare was cheering the other three on—and ready to keep Parasprites away.

All the construction work was going on in Ponyville proper.

It was going to be difficult for me to say good-bye—whether to the house with all the animals that I knew and loved so much, or to my husband, whom I’d vowed to love.

I told Twilight Sparkle about that dilemma, and this is what she had to say:

Just because you’re going to have another house doesn’t mean that you must move in to it. You and Lonesome Knight can live together in either house, or you can live in separate houses. In both cases, I will support you every step of the way, regardless of which choice you make.

Relieved to have heard Twilight’s advice, I told her, “Thank you for being so kind, Twilight.”

I went back home immediately to tell my husband the good news that I’d just received from her.
