You begin to sing the classic foal’s song immortalized by ponynet shenanigans. Unfortunately, those are the only words to the song you know, so you don’t get very far.

Then you start explaining about butterflies, but quickly realize your teacher has already grown annoyed with your antics.

After that you sigh and tell him the truth. Minus the voices in your head part, because that makes you sound crazy. The mountain, the two ponies, the shadows, and how they can’t leave. As you could have predicted he doesn’t believe you, which isn’t fair! You’re an honest pony when things get serious! He seems insistent on this being the product of too much television, video games, or internet before bed.

Distraught and out of ideas you… you hug him and begin crying. You say you love him and that you’re scared for the two ponies you met. He pulls away from you and looks deep into your eyes. He seems to find something earnest deep inside because when he turns away, it’s to grab the rope again and hoof it over to you.

You hug him again and thank him. He replies only by telling you to be careful with whatever it is you’re doing. He doesn’t want to have to start training a new apprentice.
