Everypony, I have an announcement to make.

I know it's sudden, but I have made a decision as difficult as it was. Last night I moved to the Crystal Empire when I'll be living from now on. Jade has helped me settle in (his parent's place is huge and has ponies attending to me, if I wished) so everything is great :)

I've spoken to somepony I trust and technically I'll be an exchange student for the remaining school year. My official transfer is next year. (I'll miss the prom ball :( so better send me all your pictures :))

This is the best way I can think of :) Also it'll give me a chance to be more active here. Who knows I might keep writing (since you liked my stories it seems).

@PaintDrop: I'm so sorry for everything I've put you through. I really wanted to be with you until you got better, but... well, life is strange :) Just know that I'm here if there's anything, okay? :)

@SweetStuff, @WaterBottle, @YouKnowWho: Sorry I was so mean to you. I shouldn't have behaved the way I did. Hopefully, you'll forgive me someday.

@RRBB: Always :) (Take care, you goof and feed Pixel properly ;))

Short&Hoofy

</3 :(((
Short, noooo! I'll miss you so much. And you've never been mean to me. Well, maybe a bit when you get drunk (kidding, just kidding, Max! None of us ever got drunk! Honest!)

I promise I'll visit as much as possible, and spam you every chance I get! O:) (One of the song was dedicated to you, you know.)

SweetStuff

@Short&Hoofy: Don't forget to go see Lyra, okay? She's been worried a lot (you know her) and doesn't have access to the aethernet. (Three nurses have to take turns making sure she doesn't sneak on the site and start chatting :P)

Just remember what I told you and you'll be fine. ;)

Bob

@Short&Hoofy: Sorry I couldn't wish you goodbye :( Would have preferred that you told me in person, but I understand. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. And you bet I'll be PMing you and doing art for your stories :) Personally, I think you'll be happy there (having in mind what a heartbreaker you are :P)

Did you know you got half the class to cry (including some who pretend they didn't)? I can tell partially because I'm back to this sea of drama called school (and yes, teach, I know you are still reading this as is the entire class.) ... Yes, Snails, I can be at two places at once. It's magic!

*hugs* Write soon!

PaintDrop

@Short&Hoofy: No kidding? That's where I'll be at for a few days! We can meet and gossip! (And I'll tell you all about a rotten friend I had when I was your age. Took her years to reconnect, the *yay*.)

Feather

You're here? I'm totally up for a meet if you girls are fine.

@BlueEyes

@Short&Hoofy: Just to let you know, you forgot _it_. No worries! I'll fly over and bring it for you. :D

DaBoss

@Short&Hoofy: Well this feels awkward. Yes, I admit I'm sad that you're gone. I know it's lame and it isn't like I've been the best friend or anything. I just wanted to say that you'll one tough uni, you got that? And also that I'm an idiot (but hey, what else is new).

Stay awesome, k?

YouKnowWho

Girls, it's not the end of Equestria. :) I'll still be here. It'll be just as if was there, just you'll bump into me less (literally). Also for those that shall remain anonymous: you won't be able to copy from me anymore. (Yes, the desk is empty and it won't test answers on its own.)

@Bob: First thing tomorrow. I'm still a bit tired from the move. :)

Short&Hoofy

My 2 bits: ponies here already love Short. And not it's not only because of the rumor that you are on first name basis with Spike. A few more years and the stallions in my college will be trampling over each other to get noticed by you.

Oh, and aethernet is ten times faster here, so there's also that.

Jade

@Jade: :)

Short&Hoofy

@Short&Hoofy: Isn't this exciting! I've already started to plan your party! Twenty four days till the big day! I'm so excited!!! :D

PPI

@Short&Hoofy: Psst, kiddo! I'll sneak by to get a glimpse of you, but don't tell anypony, okay? I'm a bit grounded because of Simile (when that girl parties she parties!) but I'll be there to say hi, as well as stalk Jade! (No, Max, I wouldn't dream stealing him from you. As cute as he is he isn't my type. I fear there might be a pony or two on the forum that disagrees with me, though. ;))

LightSparkle

@LightSparkle, @MixaMax, @Jade: Pfft! Keep on dreaming! He's just cool 'cause he can see how awesome my crossover story is. And anypony who likes Daring Do can't be lame!

AwesomePony

@AwesomePony: Just don't type. Please.

@Short&Hoofy: I know exactly what you're going through. I've experienced similar situations. The most important thing now is to maintain a healthy diet, do a lot of jogging, and do something unexpected every day!

I'll be there to show you the ropes soon. Oh, and for the record, @LightSparkle, I don't get drunk! That was merely mutually agreed alcoholic destruction.

Simile

Are you kidding me?! :( Just when I was well enough to get out of bed and you run away? :/ I had all this useful advice I could tell you. Most of the spells I've tested myself and can guarantee they're top stuff!

Anyway, I have friends in the Empire, so when I visit I'll be sure to teach them to you. It never hurts to have a spell or two at the ready for any situation.

TrueSparkle

@TrueSparkle: Uh-huh. A few spells, eh? You really don't learn anything, do you? :/

@Short&Hoofy: Don't trust her, okay? Half the time things don't work as she imagines, the rest of the time they end in disaster :/

TheRealLuna

@Short&Hoofy: Always...
