012 Bushels ❦ [Action for Cianwood/Video]

[buckyouup]

[AJ has been doing a lot of thinking lately. Being stuck in the Cianwood Inn nursing an injured leg for the last three weeks, thinking is all you really can do. She's managed to get out of bed enough to start exercising again, but she's still not able to keep up with training her pokemon just yet. Still, she's spent most of today resting in bed, a Togetic curled in her lap. The little fairy has never left her side since the injury, tending to every need she is capable of handling. Part of her is thankful, but part of her is sad. The caring, the dedication. It reminds her all to much of...

She huffs, reaching down and stroking the tiny creature's crest, who coos in response. Why is it that she can show so much affection to a pokemon, but she could only freeze up attempting the same to its former trainer? She couldn't give her the one thing that would make her truly happy in the last weeks of her being in this world? Her hand balls into a fist.

Damnit.]

What... do y'all do when you feel like you let somepony down?

[When you can't seem to forgive yourself, no matter how much you try.]

[People being scumbags and jerks transcends even species.]

S'why us gals need t'stick together.

[foolishwren]

Heh, yeah. Girls don't let girls deal with creeps, right?

[buckyouup]

There's power in numbers, Sugarcube. Don't you forget it.

[foolishwren]

I guess I'll have to try not to.

That's probably the biggest difference between here and home. There's people here who've got my back.

_{[... :I Although that's probably not true for AJ now that she thinks of it, oops. FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC IN EQUESTRIA. NOT SO MUCH IN SILENT HILL.]}
