[There's a lot they haven't covered. One day they're going to have to sit down and have a proper talk about this kind of thing, but that's not going to be today.

She's still looking at JW like she doesn't really get it.]

I had no idea you were so close.

It sure didn't start out that way, but the more I listened to her...it's hard to explain.

_{[Suddenly he's glad Twilight doesn't wholly understand. He doesn't ever want what happened to him to make him instantly click with neglect victims to ever happen to her. It would tear him apart.]}

So, are you in? You gonna help me be number one dad?

[yourloyalstudent]

[Twilight can at least understand the value of listening. Her surprise mostly comes from the idea that JW would be able to get himself into that kind of position. Sure, he listens to her when she needs it, but.. it's not really the same thing.]

I can.. try! I wonder if there are any books on parenting in the library...

[goldeneyeball]

That's why I'm asking you--figured you knew that place like the back of your hoof.

_{[He finally comes clean.]}

...and I just really wanted to tell somepony.

[yourloyalstudent]

[goldeneyeball]

I forgot what it felt like to be this excited!

[yourloyalstudent]

[Twilight laughs.]

Well, if it's important to you, of course I'll help! That's what friends are for.
