~REVIEW POST~
Me: Okay, I talked to Pinkie Pie, and I was able to secure three others for the review of first episode and restrict Starlight and Trixie for the review of the second episode. So, without further ado, here's Twilight, Celestia and Discord.
*Twilight, Celestia and Discord teleport in.*
Me: Alright! Black text, go!
Twilight: I didn't know humans could use that sort of magic.
Me: It's actually far more of a technology thing.
Discord: Ohh! Neat! *snaps fingers* *changes color*
Me: DISCORD! I'M TRYING TO HIDE STUFF ABOUT THE EPISODE! Change it back!
Discord: *sighs* I'm only doing it because even I hate spoilers. *snaps fingers*
Me: *sighs* Thank you!
Celestia: So, why exactly are we here? Pinkie was vague on the details.
Me: We are here to talk about the episode that recently aired, Celestial Advice. I basically give my thoughts on various points and we talk about them.
Twilight: Oh! That's easy.
Me: First off, Discord, you're such a troll! If it wasn't for you, Twilight wouldn't have gone into insane amounts of worry about Starlight's future.
Discord: *chuckles* I know, but it was too much fun to pass up.
Twilight: *glares at Discord* So, you only did that to cause some chaos?
Discord: Harmless chaos, but still chaos.
Me: Twilight, I was very impressed with your spell that showed off what you thought could happen if you sent Starlight somewhere.
Twilight: Oh, you liked that?
Me: I liked the concept, but there were points where it was obvious that you didn't fully know the personalities of some characters. I couldn't help but facepalm at the Dragon Lands one.
Twilight: *laughs nervously* Yeah, I did go over the top there.
Me: In hindsight, if you did send Starlight away, out of the three, the Crystal Empire would have been the safest and most rewarding for her.
Twilight: Really? But couldn't she have --
Me: I don't think she would have gone into such spells so un-readily. If she was to make some sort of spell like you imagined, she would have had a plan. If she thought it was too unsafe, she wouldn't have done it.
Twilight: *thinks for a second* I guess you're right. Maybe I shouldn't have been so worried about that one.
Me: However, the fans felt something interesting would have happened if you picked that one.
Twilight: Really? What?
Me: *whispers in Twilight's ear*
Twilight: I'm not sure if Starlight feels that way about Sunburst.
Me: The fans would disagree.
Twilight: I may need to talk with her just to make sure.
Me: Celestia, I'm surprised at you.
Celestia: About what?
Me: Well, first off, the fact you haven't said a word.
Celestia: I felt it polite to speak only if you addressed me.
Me: Okay! Second, that you have more of Twilight in you than I thought. You really didn't want to let her go, did you?
Celestia: Indeed, I did not! It was the hardest decision I had to make in my life. I admit, I did something no teacher should do.
Twilight: Which is what?
Celestia: I grew attached to a student as if they were my own child.
Twilight: Really? You felt about me in that way?
Discord: Ugh! This is getting too sappy for me! *snaps fingers* *disappears*
Celestia: Yes, and I was proud to have you as a student and to break that rule. I never would have got to known such a great pony if I didn't.
Twilight: I guess I've broken that rule with Starlight. I've grown attached to her myself.
Celestia: *chuckles* And I'm proud of you for it. *hugs Twilight*
Me: *clears throat* Back to the episode, Twilight, are you sure it was a good idea to let Starlight graduate so soon? I almost feel like that was a hasty decision.
Twilight: I'm sure I've made the right decision. She could learn more about friendship than I could hope to teach her.
Me: Alright, we'll see where this goes at least. Also, you seemed to turn into Pinkie Pie, personality-wise, when you gave Starlight her present.
Twilight: *chuckles nervously* I was just so happy that she was staying. I guess Pinkie Pie has rubbed off on me a little.
Me: Well, that's all I have to say about the episode. It was good, but not as good as some of the Season Openers that we've had. All-in-all, still good.
Celestia: Well then, I shall take my leave. *Celestia disappears*
Twilight: I'd better go too! *starts to ready her magic*
Me: *stops her* Uh, hold on!
Twilight: What?
Me: I want you to stay for the second episode review. You were a main character as much as Trixie and Starlight were for it.
Twilight: Oh! Okay!
*Starlight and Trixie teleport in*
Trixie: The Great and Powerful Trixie has arrived!
Me: *groans and brings a hand to his face in irritation* *slowly brings it down face* Alright! Let's get this over with.
Trixie: Uh, is there a problem?
Me: Long and short of it, I don't like you Trixie, but I'm stuck with you because you're one of the main characters for the episode we're going to review, All Bottled Up.
Trixie: *sighs* I guess The Great and Powerful Trixie can't please everyone.
Me: Anyways, black text, go!
Trixie: Oh, can I try! *readies magic*
Me: No! Don't--
Trixie: *changes color* Red text! Blue text! Orange text! Green text! *changes colors rapidly*
Me: Trixie! Stop that! We need to hide the spoilers!
Trixie: Ugh! Fine! *changes color*
Me: *sighs* Thank you! First off, Starlight, I think it was a bad idea to tell her how to perfect the transmogrify spell.
Starlight: Yeah, but I was just trying to be a good friend. Especially with the teleport objects spell.
Me: Which then led to the entire table of the Friendship Map teleporting away by Trixie.
Twilight: It what?
Me: Oops! Did I say that out loud?
Twilight: *brings her face right to Trixie's* You teleported the Friendship Map away?
Starlight: Hey, we got it back to the castle before the end of the episode.
Twilight: Still, how did she --
Trixie: In hindsight, Trixie missed the apple that was on the table and hit the table itself. Quite an accomplishment for Trixie's first time.
Twilight: But, where did it go?
Me: To the spa, though she conveniently forgot at first, which led to them going around town trying to find it.
Starlight: *glares at Trixie* Yeah, quite convenient!
Me: Which led to you *points to Starlight* literally bottling up your anger through the episode.
Starlight: I was too worried what would happen if I let out my anger at her. I didn't want to lose the first real friend I got in a long time.
Trixie: *laughs* Trixie won't leave just because you get mad at her. You're Trixie's best friend.
Starlight: So, you won't leave if I get mad at you?
Trixie: Trixie promises.
Me: Okay, with that done, Starlight, you need to remember to vent out your anger at appropriate intervals. It's not good for you if you don't. Heck, it strangely led to a bunch of innocent ponies getting your anger and letting it out on Trixie.
Starlight: I know that now, and I'm really sorry for all that.
Me: Apologies accepted and all that. Now, let's go to Twilight. Enjoyed that puzzle with your friends?
Twilight: Yes we did! It was a lot of fun.
Me: If only you didn't sing that song, which I liked, you would have broken that record.
Twilight: We should have turned the key first then sang the song.
Me: *laughs* Yeah, you should have.
Starlight: So, how was the episode to you?
Me: Eh, enjoyable! Nice time waster, but not something I'd go back to.
Twilight: You know, your reviews seem less harsh than those of another poster on here.
Me: That person has too high of expectations as far as I'm concerned. Plus they've lost hope for the series not being good and therefore can't see it as such.
Starlight: That was a long one.
Me: Two episodes in one post. What do you expect?
Trixie: I'm sure everyone will enjoy The Great and Powerful Trixie.
Me: Let's just end this. Goodbye, everyone! See ya next week!
Twilight, Starlight & Trixie: Bye!
*Twilight, Starlight and Trixie teleport away.*
Me: Well, at least I got through without killing Trixie.
