[Rarity has been secluding herself away from her friends since they've arrived in Goldenrod. She hasn't even begun looking around the city that she was once so very excited to get to. So many things have come up--some things with her friends, the long travel and sleeping on the ground, the threat that Ream Rocket seemed to be, not to mention a bit

[She really, really does not like this relationship business.]

Oh well, at least she's not the only one? She is actually pretty thankful for that.]
You too, Rainbow Dash? [Sigh.] I feel just awful for thinking this way, but... It is a little... strange, isn't it?

I never would've guessed that they'd like each other like that. Or that any of us would.

[Not overly so anyway... She's almost hesitant to mention this but...]
...Though Fluttershy is a bit different... We've always been close, but recently... I don't know... She's seemed a bit distant...
[She looks away from her 'gear for a moment or two; taking that time to inhale and then exhale again slowly.]
I feel like I don't know her anymore. This is just... such an odd thing for her to do. Maybe it's this place--maybe it's changed her? Maybe it's changed Applejack as well?
I just can't figure it out... why the sudden attraction? And why now when we're in the middle of a crisis?

I really don't like this, Rainbow. This place is just... so strange... I wish more than anything that we could all go back home... Back to the way things are supposed to be...

...In the end there really is no other choice but to just... accept this. I just... don't know how much I want to. But if I don't and I decide to leave the group, that isn't going to help anypony either. That would be... terribly petty of me.
[She bites her lip for a moment, her eyes filling with tears. She looks away from her 'gear again. Even after she takes a second to compose herself, she still has an obvious struggle to keep her voice even.]
I feel so horrible for even considering that. But... I just don't know if I can handle this. I-I'm just... a bad friend.

It'd be easy to just walk off, but I feel like it'd make things worse. Bailing on them would give 'em the wrong idea, and even if I have thought about it, I know it wouldn't change anything.
[She looks back at the screen and sighs.]
It's really tough to handle, so I totally see where you're coming from.

No... it really wouldn't.

We'll figure something out.

Thank you, Rainbow Dash. It's nice to know that somepony else understands...
