Fluttershy and Amethyst Star got back from the BMC early this afternoon. We were all there to meet them at the station and after we'd said goodbye to Amethyst Star, we walked with Fluttershy to her cottage.

The conference did her good, she was practically glowing as she talked about all the things she'd heard and seen. She also had something to tell us about startling growth in the Crystal Empire, and I'm not talking about Flurry Heart. The Crystal Empire delegation reported that this year they are seeing plants never seen in living memory emerging around the Empire and animals flocking in in astounding numbers. When we went there for Flurry Heart's crystalling, we totally missed that.

Fluttershy wants to go back with Amethyst Star and see this for herself. They agreed on taking a day trip to the Crystal Empire two days from now, after they'd caught up on work here. Fluttershy said it would be best to go soon, before the baby season starts getting her really busy.

Applejack and I are going to tag along. Her ears perked when Fluttershy mentioned new plants and I'm also interested in ecology.
