“Well, yeah. Of course. She’s the best friend I’ve got.” You can’t help sounding indignant, “She’s the only one who treated me like a person when I got here. She made me feel wanted when everyone else thought of me as a science experiment or a novelty. She stuck around after she got to know me, even though other ponies teased her for it. We enjoy spending time together, and on top of that, she’s not like other mares. She doesn’t mind getting her hooves dirty or her mane a mess, she doesn’t want fancy dinner dates or jewelry, and she doesn’t demand that I change who I am to be worthy of her companionship! She’s not just my best friend, she’s the best friend a guy could ever hope to have!”
