[ Filtered to everypony who knew Spike ]

[ The following is dictated by a pony who is clearly trying to hold back her emotions. ]

To... to anypony who knew him, Spike has gone back home.

I know he's made a lot of friends here.... he's... he's always trying to make new friends. But home is a much nicer place, especially for... somepony like him. [ You know, a baby dragon. ]

He's... left letters, for his friends. The ghosts should have delivered them to everypony by now, but if they haven't... he just wants to let you all know that... he cares for all of you, and that you'll... we'll... all be missed.

[ She doesn't have... anything else to say... she probably should end it better than this, but she'd rather not get emotional to all of Spike's friends. She closes the journal.



...And no, her filter doesn't distinguish between people who know Spike the dragon or the space cowboy. ]

Dictatedish?

[His little dragon buddy is gone? Not cool.]

H- [He stops when he hears the other journal close.]

much later; both icly and oocly woo!

[checklist]

He's gone, yes.

It's all good.

[whistles_the_blues]

I had only just met him, but he seemed like he would be a good friend.

...How are you holding up?

[courageous_wit]

... Thank you for telling us.

His friends deserve to know. [ Even if they all got letters... ]

[deductiongeek]

I got the letter already.

[ Her reply is a bit hollow, but polite. ]

I'm glad to know they got out okay, then.

[doublethefun]

I am sorry, Twilight.

[checklist]

It's all right, Luna. This castle isn't really... the best place for a baby dragon, after all.

[delincuente]

... You're kidding. He's actually gone?

[filter]

[checklist]

I'd never joke about something like this!

[delincuente]

[There's a silence as she finally notices the letter left to her.]

That... really sucks. I mean, I guess good for him, or whatever. But still.

[rose_of_battle]

[She knows by who's dictating this which Spike is meant, and try as she might, she can't keep the emotion out of her voice.]

Twilight Sparkle, I am so sorry. Are you okay?

I'll be fine. He really is much better off at home. [ This is what she tells herself. ]

Twilight Sparkle

[rose_of_battle]

[Her voice is soft as she answers.]

That's not really helping, is it?

[She's feeling the same way, Twilight.]

[... This feels like a weird filter to see. But it sounds like the end of that colorful mishap. Most of what he knew about the dragon was from that thing he doesn't like to think about, so the only reason he speaks up is to keep anyone from celebrating if they didn't read carefully enough.]

Had to happen sooner or later.

You're... the other Spike, right?

[gottaknockhard]

[He's surprised she remembers.]

Until another one comes along.

[asseenontv]

Thank you for letting us know. I'm glad he has a good home to return to.

[checklist]

Yes. He's surrounded by family and friends there. [ Although she still doesn't sound too happy. ]

[asseenontv]

Good.

You still miss him, though. [He's not always good at feelings but that clue was pretty easy to pick up]

[hellshaped]

[Oh. :( This keeps happening ...]

Are you his sister?
