[Spike clears his throat as he dictates into the journal. He sounds almost nervous. No. Not nervous. Worried. Because he knows what this place is like and he knows how easily things can Go Wrong thanks to people acting well...like Paradisans]

So uh. You guys might have started seeing someone you know who shouldn't be in the castle lately. It's not that person...probably. Unless they actually have just shown up, because I guess that's possible. And this place has crummy timing for things like that.

[Wait. He's getting off track]

Anyway, chances are it's Twilight. She's on a loss. There are these creatures in our world called Changelings. They can change into anypony they want to, and more importantly, they feed off of love. So she doesn't mean to hurt or upset you if she turns into somepony you really care about. She can't control it so please don't get mad at her or hurt her, okay?

Hopefully it won't last all that much longer.

[There's another pause, then a sigh]

[Arya]

How are-

Are you doing okay?

I really miss

[Nope. He still doesn't know how to fix this in any way that won't make her mad]

You don't set crap on fire accidentally, do you?

[huffythedragon]

I...err...

Sometimes. If I have a cold. Or...hiccups.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Well, I guess I can overlook that.

[huffythedragon]

I never hurt anypony with it, I promise.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Yet. You haven't hurt anyone yet.

[huffythedragon]

I won't hurt anypony. I'm always super careful.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Just give me the heads up.

[huffythedragon]

For when? In case I hurt anypony?

[untilmydarknessgoes]

You get the sniffles, I wanna know.

[huffythedragon]

...Yeah thanks bro, feeling the love here.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Hey, I'm just highly flammable okay.

[huffythedragon]

Aren't most people?

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Lemme rephrase that - fire is one of the few ways to actually kill me.

[huffythedragon]

Really? You're not a zombie are you?

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Different kind of undead, I'm a vampire.

[huffythedragon]

...The kind with the teeth?

[untilmydarknessgoes]

...You know some other kind?

[huffythedragon]

Hey, when it comes to Paradisa, it's safer never to assume.
