Luster Dawn: [after listening to the story] "So, even though everything changed and anda moved away from your friends, anda didn't grow apart? And this is the Council of Friendship? That's what you're all doing here?"
Rainbow Dash: "Duh! This time every moon."
Applejack: [chuckles] "What she means is this is how we've been ruling together."
Rarity: "And how we've continued to face every problem and threat to Equestria over the years."
Pinkie Pie: "But mostly, it's how we keep in touch. No matter how busy life gets."
Twilight Sparkle: "Sometimes friendships can be hard, and it takes work to maintain them. But without friends, things can be a lot harder."
Luster Dawn: "I never thought about friendship being something to work, and i don't mind work. I guess if they don't have to fade away, maybe making Friends isn't the waste of time I thought. But I've been so focused on my studies, I wouldn't know where to start."
Twilight Sparkle: "That's all right, because I know exactly where to send you."
