Just thought you might get a kick out of this…

Of course I can magically change my appearance and hire an entire movie crew to stage an elaborate ruse. I’m a princess.

But let’s just keep this our little secret, shall we, my little pony’s followers?

I’m sorry, Princess Celestia, but it seems that I won’t see you at CushionCon after all. The next train to Ponyville doesn’t leave until tomorrow, and you know Spike! Pinkie’s a reliable babysitter and all, but he’s going to get into all sorts of…you know, dragon business if I’m not there!

I’ll see you all later, everypony!

Followers, I think I see the one pony who can turn this whole convention around for me.

…Oh, horse feathers…

… ……… uh… token outrage at there being a pillow version of me?

Well…o-okay, maybe I wouldn’t make a bad alicorn, but you as an alicorn is just ridiculous! I mean…
Wait, no! I-I-I’m not saying you don’t have an intellectual side! I mean, you’re reading a thing, after all! I’m just saying…uh…
Oh, I don’t see Lavender Tinsmith around! I can stop hiding now.
