Crystal sat on her own. She was crying. Tears slid down her face, and onto the grass. She missed Delta. Where was she?

Sister Swirl had spent a few hours wandering around Ponyville. She would have given up, but she knew that Crystal wouldn't have stopped by if she didn't need/want help.
Finally, she saw her off in the distance. Looking miserable. Well, Swirl would give her a shoulder, if nothing else.
"Hello? You were in the nursery earlier, weren't you? I just...want to hear more about Delta. Would you like to talk about her?"

Crystal sniffed. "Maybe I should give up... I've looked everywhere for her..."

"Then I'm sure she's looking for you, too. Do you WANT to give up?" Sister Swirl looked earnestly at the other mare. "It's ok to take a break, and to let other ponies shoulder some of the burden. Really. Honest. Promise. That's what some of us are here for. "

"Okay then." She sniffed again. "Would it be mean to stop here for a while? I've been searching for ages..."

"If you burn out, then you're not helping either of you. The best thing you can do for others is the best thing you can do for yourself."

Crystal nodded. "I'll stay here for a while, and get my energy back. Then I'll continue looking for her. Delta wouldn't want me to be unhappy anyway. She faced Swirl. "Thankyou very much. You have helped me more than anyone I know." A smile broke the sadness on her face. She grabbed Swirl's hoof. "You like chocolate? I have to get you something to thank you with." She grinned, happy, unlike she had been for so long.

Swirl grinned, her eyes lighting up. "If I really have helped, then that's enough thanks. But on the other hand, who am I to turn down chocolate?"
She paused to hold Crystal's hoof in turn. "How long have you been here? Would you like a quick tour of the town?"
While Swirl knew that it was important to find Delta, she also knew that the best way would be to establish a network of friendly faces to help out. Chocolate, and meeting new people would do a lot more good then restoring spirits alone.

"Yes please! I would love a tour of the town! I don't actually know where the chocolate shop is, I've just seen some posters around. It's says something about an opening day."
"So! What are we waiting for!"

Swirl giggled. "Chocolate, here we come!"
Swirl trotted off, nudging Crystal on the shoulder to keep her beside her so they could chat. She'd seen the posters herself on her morning rounds, and was hoping to talk to the owner a bit. Serendipitous!

Crystal followed after her, a smile spread across her face.
