So, this is kind of a long story, and I meant to write to you about it, I'm sorry I didn't, but you've gotta know this out of anypony.
So when we got the box that had all that friendship magic and Twilight's castle inside, we had NO idea where the keys were, so we started making a journal and kept helping ponies wherever we could. And each of those ponies gave us something to thank us for helping them... except for you, because I'd already helped you a LONG time ago. Anyway, when Tirek started attacking... well...
[She's just... going to switch to video to show him the Key of Laughter.]
Y-yeah, you did... Everypony we helped gave us something special to thank us... And we figured that when we put them near the chest, they turned into keys...
I-I was first... Boneless got too close to the chest, and then he got transformed...
Yeah, it is... We couldn't have gotten our magic back or beaten Tirek or given everypony's magic back without him. Or without you.
And Twilight wouldn't have a castle to live in either; Tirek destroyed the library. And we wouldn't have the map to show us all those ponies and griffons we needed to help.
[Amazing how one little chicken helped bring about so many changes for the better.]
[Still doesn't help Pinkie's heart from sinking as she delivers the news, or watches him react. Maybe a certain planet can help with that?]
... I-if you want, I can send him to you. Or give him to you the next time we see each other.
[IF he wants to see her ever again. She's mostly hurting for him, but she's also a little afraid he resents her for this, even if he'd be well within his rights to.]
I gave him to you. I wanted you to have him, because-
[Because of everything she's done for him. She quite literally gave his life meaning, and he can never repay that. But Boneless? He was a start, an attempt to make up for giving him something he would never have had without her. ]
Well. You know. Everything.
[Look, he'll try to inject some happy in his tone. ]
[And for once, she catches all those hidden meanings exactly, and a tiny smile starts gracing her lips again.]
If you're sure... I thought I should offer because...
[Because he's been there for him longer than she has, and without his friendship... well, she might have helped another pony and gotten another key before Tirek's rise, but it probably wouldn't have meant NEARLY as much, wouldn't have permanently killed her fear that others would get tired or her or her parties, because now she'd ALWAYS know that her parties inspired one pony's cutie mark, saved him from a loneliness that might as well be hell to her.]
Well, because he means so MUCH to us. Especially you.
He does. But...well, it's like he's found his own destiny now, right? Something really important for all of Equestria. That's pretty amazing.
[And it's comforting. Knowing there will always be a little part of him in Equestria. In Pinkie's life. That no matter where he goes in their world, a piece of him will always be with her.]
[That's... quite the tender smile she's giving him right now. She was worried about getting into a fight over the enemy fleet and then of him getting upset about this, but now... now it doesn't worry her at all. In fact, it feels like they've gotten a LOT closer now.]
[She hasn't QUITE reached her melting point yet, but she's definitely feeling LOTS on deep warm fuzzies right now. And for once... she's content just being quiet for a little bit, just smiling at him through their screens.]
[He blinks back to reality and oh...right. Duties. He probably has some of those. Like maybe not letting the ship fly into an asteroid or something. Yeah < ]
Oh right. Uh. I'll...yeah. Let you get back to that and I'll...do my thing.

[Give him a second, he's trying to process this. ]
Well- uh. I guess it's good he helped save Equestria? Yeah.
That's...good.

[The one and only friend he's had for most of his life is a key now. ]
I- yeah. That's special. I'm glad he could help. He would have wanted that.
