Mahogany Town is pretty great all around, don't you think? [ Just a couple weeks ago, she was back in New Bark Town and she's made it this far? ] I guess it's an unfair advantage knowing people who can use Fly and get you from place to place pretty quick. No complaints here though!

[ It might have been difficult to tell where she was had she not announced it. There's aluminium bleachers stacked up behind her and she's picked up a new shirt with longer sleeves. Not that she'll need it for much longer as spring is approaching, but it's nice to wear at a skating rink. ]

There's a couple people I know who have been here for a long time, like, long enough to actually grow here? What happens when they return to our world? Wouldn't someone back home notice the changes? [ Of course they would, everyone in Konoha has an astute memory and something being off physically is a red flag that something's up. A red flag that can't be ignored easily. ] It's a concern because a few of my comrades have returned home after living in this world long enough to change physically so I'm concerned about their fate.

Doesn't it change our future? Wouldn't I remember something since I'm ahead of them in the timeline?

This topic must come up a lot here when people get sent home, but I've wondered it myself since... well, I left? [ But she didn't return home. This is something she's not interested in making public information however, so she just frowns in favor of an explanation. ]

Oh, I think Naruto's finally got his skates on. Time to see what's so fun about sliding around on ice--but hey, will you leave me your answers? Just a little should be enough to give me peace of mind.

NOTE | Sakura will reply to all messages a few hours after she's done trying to distract her teammate~

(Rainbow can't help but laugh and grin at Sakura's confirmation.) From what I've seen about Naruto so far, he should watch his step on the ice!

(Staying away from grim topics works for her.)

Ha... yeah, you're right about that.

[ Laughing nervously. ] Maybe that's why he invited me along. Patch up his cuts and ice his swollen ankles. Ahhh, it'll be just like it is back home!

Hehehe, really? That's all you did back in your world for him? (A beat.) Probably not his reason for wanting you along. You 2 have known each other for a really long time, right?

Haa, I don't mind it even if it sounds pretty bad!

[ WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY? Her nervousness demeanor only flares up when she brings up how long she's known him. ]

Besides, we've all known Naruto since we were kids. We grew up in the same village and attended the same academy together. I'd do the same for anyone who needed my help!

(Just implying that they're really good friends! ~~Anything further than that...Rainbow wouldn't know.~~ She listens for a moment and nods.)

Awesome! So you guys are just as close as me and my friends: you'd always stick by each other no matter what!

For the most part! [ She just has to clarify that she's not 110% behind every stupid idea of Naruto's. ] Sometimes we do things on our own and that's fine too.

Yeah! I'd go nuts if I had to do things my friends liked all the time and hardly anything I like.

Do your friends not enjoy doing the stuff you like or are there just so many you hang out with that it's difficult to get everyone's hobbies included?

[ That last part is a bit too much experience for Sakura herself. ]

Hmm? It's not that they don't like the things I do, but we've gotta make time to put in our hobbies and set 'em aside from our jobs.

(She makes it look super easy, but cloud busting -and taking care of the sky in general- is tough work.)

[ Someone else who is younger than her that has a job. She's starting to feel better about coming from an environment where children matured quickly. With so many irresponsible teenagers here, it was refreshing to see someone who might not be. ]

Yeah, that's the difficult part of growing up.

You all worked together?

(If she talked to Twilight for a moment, she'd probably find out quite a bit about Rainbow -especially her good and not-so-good traits.)

Not really! We all have different jobs around town; I take care of the weather, Twilight's the librarian, Applejack works on a farm and my other friends either care for animals, help run a bakery or lives a 'glamourous' life as a fashionista!

...And then there's Spike, who's Twilight's assistant.

You take care of the weather?

[ That's so absurd a statement that she has to pause to consider what it means. ]

How do you handle that?

(...Oh yeah, she never did get around to telling Sakura what she really was. Hope she doesn't faint from shock.)

Heh, guess I forgot to bring it up. In my world, I don't usually look like a human. I'm a Pegasus!

A Pegasus? [ Blank look.

Ninjas have no idea what those are. ]

(Rainbow blinked for a moment herself before laughing sheepishly. They probably had Earth ponies in Sakura's world!)

A horse with wings?

A horse... with wings?

[ HORSES CAN HAVE THOSE??? ] I've never seen a Pokemon like that.

Hehe, yep!

(She's almost glad she didn't bring up the Princesses.) It'd be cool if they did, but ask Tenten if you're not sure; she saw me once when I looked like my real self!

[ Tenten saw a flying horse with wings that apparently works with the weather and didn't tell her? ]

I guess I can, but it's not as if I refuse to believe you.

Just seems a little out there.

Hehe, I know it's kinda weird but we catch Pokemon who shoot fire, electricity and other types of abilities! Why should this sound out there?

(Plus, she's got rainbow-colored hair which in itself should be unbelievable!)

[ Rainbow-colored hair is strange enough, but she is anime. ]

Yeah, but none of them can really talk to us like you can.

(Plus, also a main haro much like Rainbow who snorts and sighs before holding up a fist in determination.)

If I was a pony right now, I could do more than just talk to you! You'd see me pull off some super-awesome tricks and moves only I can tackle.

It's a shame I missed out then? [ Not sure if that's the right thing to say or not. ]

Hehe, might happen again! I've been turned back at least 2 times already, and two of my friends -who aren't ponies- have seen me. (Rainbow's pretty sure her 'Gear recorded at least one of the two moments she's talking about. Sakura's probably savvy enough to work the controls.)

[ She'll definitely be checking it out later. ]

Haa--doesn't it hurt though? It'd be strange to switch back so quickly, wouldn't it?

Eh, we're asleep when the changes happen so when we wake up it's just like any other day except we're in our regular bodies for a while!

(She may or may not be witness to the first of many Sonic Rainbooms seen in the Johto region.)
