[ The video feed turns on to a rather nervous-looking girl in her late teens, though that nervousness is momentarily replaced by a grin. After all, she finally figured out how to work this thing properly. Figuring something out is always something worth celebrating, at least for Twilight Sparkle.

Still, her somber expression returns. ] I wanted to thank everypony who helped me out when we all first arrived. I've gotten much better at walking since then! Really. [ Because obviously they won't believe her unless she adds in that "really." ]

But... [ And this is really where she looks worried again... ] has anypony been outside today? There's clouds out there, and I am one-hundred percent certain nopony put them there. They're even moving all on their own...!

But nopony else has even mentioned it! Don't you all find this strange?!

[ Twilight bites her bottom lip for a moment, but presses on. ] It's strange enough that the sun and moon can rise without Princess Celestia or Princess Luna, but... do you suppose the patron gods are doing all of it? Raising the sun, and the moon, and moving the clouds... creating the weather...?

[ And finally, a large sigh. ] Really, this is such a strange place.

The moon's orbit and Earth's gravity... it makes the moon move. And the sun moves because we're moving around it...

Um, I don't remember why the clouds move, though.

[ she remembers the first two from her mailed lesson books, at least. ]

That's not how it works at all.

Yes it is. My schoolbooks say that's the way it works.

That's certainly not in any textbook I've ever read. [ AND THAT'S A LOT. ]

Well, your Princesses aren't in any textbook I've read either! Just because you haven't heard of something doesn't make it wrong!

That's a very good point! [ Said in a very "Way to go!" sort of voice. ] Do you know the name of the textbook you read? Perhaps I should give it a read-over myself.

Science, Fourth Grade, 17th edition... it was just a regular textbook. How would it be here? Do they have school here?

Perhaps the schools wouldn't use your book, but a library should have it!
