[Just gonna... slump on the table now.]

That's horrible... I'm so sorry... So why is he after you?

[forcesensitive]

[Finn bites his lip. There are a number of reasons, but...he's still not comfortable having the I'm a Stormtrooper chat with people.]

I helped blow up the weapon that did it.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[If she knew about the chat with Ahsoka, Pinkie would be soooo miffed right now.]

You did? Well good for you, that's GREAT, Finn! So you're a hero back home too, huh?

[KARMA, feel the unintentional guilting!]

[forcesensitive]

[It won't happen for a few days, at least.]

I--don't know. I got hurt on the way out, and I haven't woke up there yet.

But General Hux sure doesn't see me as a hero.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[And theeeen he'll tell her, right?]

Well of course not, he's the craziest person I've ever heard of! And I'm friends with a draconequus back home!

[forcesensitive]

[Probably. But it's something he needs to tell the Jedi in person first.]

Look, the point is, if he knows who my friends are, he's not going to leave them alone. Right now he doesn't know I'm here, and I want to keep it that way for as long as I can. So please don't mess with him, okay?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Okay, I won't. Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.

[That's an odd set of motions that goes with it, but she looks dead serious as she makes the oath.]

[forcesensitive]

Thanks.

[He still looks unhappy, though.]

I'm gonna have to think about what to do about all this for a little while.

[spontaneouscombustion]

No kidding. I'm kinda worried about which ship he's gonna get put on.

[forcesensitive]

[Well, shit, he hadn't even considered that.]

I am not staying on the same ship as him.

[spontaneouscombustion]

You mean he's not staying on the same ship as you! Sweet Celestia, why would the Atroma take somebody like THAT here?

Hmmm I wonder if you can put in a transfer for somebody else?

[forcesensitive]

Because we have empty space. I don't think they need more of a reason than that.

[Maybe he can crash with Ahsoka on the Starstruck if that happens....]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Noooo don't leave us, Finn!]

Still, if he gets sent here... I dunno, but I'm not gonna let him hurt any of you guys at all. Or destroy any more planets.

[forcesensitive]

He better not come here at all, no matter where they assign him.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Hm... Like I said, I'll think of something~

[forcesensitive]

Whatever you do, be careful, okay?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oh, of course! I already Pinkie Promised, and you don't ever EVER break one of those!

[forcesensitive]

All right.

Thanks, Pinkie. For being a friend.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Kitchen time is over, now it's hug time.]

Of course. After all, you've been a great friend for me and everybody else here, so why wouldn't I?

[forcesensitive]

[He gives her mane a quick ruffle before he lets go.]

There's plenty of people who wouldn't, and you know it.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Blink. Nooo she doesn't.]

There aren't?

[forcesensitive]

Well, sure. Don't you have bounty hunters where you're from?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Nooot really? What do they have to do with being friends?

[Maybe like... one or two in the more Western-y parts of Equestria, but they'd only go after the VERY rare criminal.]

[forcesensitive]

People like him send them after people like me.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Well I know what they ARE, but why would he need to send one after you? And why would there be PLENTY of people that wouldn't stand up for you?
