Del: bucking apple trees Hey June, can you pass me another basket?
 
June: staring off into the distance
 
Del: June?
 
June: Huh? Oh sorry. I thought I saw something fly over there points to vampire bat sanctuary
 
Del: O-oh. Why don’t you check it out?
 
June: Del, you know I’m going to the Crystal Empire in a little bit. I don’t have time to go all the way over there and get back. Valiant is gonna be here any minute
 
Del: But what about that thing?
 
June: I dunno. You go check.
 
Del: B-but June
 
Val: Heeeeeey June!
 
June: Hi Lance!
 
Val: How’re you my little Junebug kisses June all over her face
 
June: giggles Stop it
 
Del: ………………. fine Ah’ll go check it out heads toward the sanctuary  

 
Del: standing right outside the sanctuary………………………….. great. Maybe Ah should get Api……………… buuuuut she’s with her friends groans and walks in Helloooooo? Anypony there?……………………….. no? Ooooooookay then turns around but hears crying Huh? follows the voice until he finds Nidra P-Princess Nidra?
 
Nidra: turns to Del and flares her wings
 
Del: heart stops for a second as he backs up H-hey. What’s goin’ on?
 
Nidra: It’s none of your business farmer boy folds up her wings and turns away from him
 
Del: …………… Well, it is my business because you’re on my farm.
 
Nidra: Fine I’ll leave.
 
Del: No, no. You stay here. What’s wrong? Why’d you come here?
 
Nidra: I came here because it’s dark and I thought I could be alone.
 
Del: But what’s wrong?
 
Nidra: NOTHING!
 
Del: steps back a bit Alright. Ah’m sorry. I’ll leave ya alone. Didn’t wanna be in this awful place anyways starts to walk away really slowly
 
Nidra: watches Del walk away ……………………. w-wait! Don’t go….
 
Del: turns back to her
 
Nidra: I-it’s not proper to leave a princess alone while she’s distressed
 
Del: Forgive me, Princess sits by Nidra So what exactly is wrong?
 
Nidra: W-we broke up……
 
Del: You and Prism?
 
Nidra: nods
 
Del: Aw darlin’ it’s alright rubs Nidra’s back
 
Nidra: No it’s not! sighs What’s wrong with me?
 
Del: Hey, break ups are hard. Just because he broke up with you doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with you.
 
Nidra: I broke up with him…
 
Del: …. Oh? Um… Well then the problem isn’t…. you?
 
Nidra: No I……. I knew he didn’t really like me. It was like he was always trying to avoid me. So I broke it off…. Am I that bad of a pony?
 
Del: No, not at all
 
Nidra: Oh please. You’re terrified of me as well.
 
Del: chuckles Nidra, you know that’s just a personal thing with me and bats. You’re not that scary.
 
Nidra: Not my looks….. my personality or my just…..my everything!
 
Del: ………..
 
Nidra: I thought that I was only going out with Prism because I couldn’t have T but…… I really loved him. I just thought that maybe I could actually have somepony that would love me back…..
 
Del: Ah know that was your first relationship, Nidra and Ah know the breakup probably sucked but that’s just…. what some relationships are. They don’t always work out. You’ll find somepony else who’ll love you and treat you right.
 
Nidra: Nopony will ever love me. I don’t even love me…
 
Del: hugs Nidra
 
Nidra: !
 
Del: You’re a great mare. Once you realize that, somepony else will too. Give it time. You just have a little growing to do. We all do. Plus we all love you Nidra. Me, Prism, Star, Annie, all of us! Maybe not in the way that you’re thinking but, y’know.
 
Nidra: smiles a little
 
Del: Would you like to come inside? It’s kinda gross out here looks up at all the bats flying around And much more cozy inside
 
Nidra: I’d like that…
