	Fluttershy remembered me. I remembered Fluttershy. We started to spend time together. Just us. We shared what happened after she fell to the ground, and started to date, I guess you could say.

We loved each  other, in fact, after meeting her, I made friends...Her friends. They welcomed me into their circle.  One day, Fluttershy told me about their connection with Princess Celestia. That theywrite letters to her, to tell her how they're developing in life. She wanted me to write one. 

"It would be a long letter. Are you sure she'd want to take the time to read this?" I asked.

"Oh, yes. I know she would love it." She suggested with a sincere smile.

I shrugged a little. I got my pencil, and began to write my life story. Fluttershy said it would be fine to do that. It was a good 8 pages...That was just shortening it, and summarizing, only giving minor details. 

A couple days after, she replied. Fluttershy gave me the letter. It was nice to know that the princess actually cared about just one person enough to reply

Dear Axel,

I want you to know that I am  ever so happy you finally found light in the darkness, despite all the hardships. The fact that we can all develop with enough work is really something to appreciate, is it not? I would really love to have your book published, and anything else you would like to share with the world. Hope to hear from you frequently

-Princess Celestia

My eyes became teary. I was smiling so widely  that my cheeks hurt. My books, and stories, published, by Celestia's approval? This is a DREAM to many credible writers. 

"You ok?" Fluttershy asked. 

"I'm...I'm fine. She wants to publish my books and stories." I said, not able to control my happiness.

"That's wonderful!" Fluttershy cheered. It wasn't a loud cheer, but it WAS Fluttershy.

....................................


In our early adulthood, Fluttershy and I, got married. My stories became very popular. I had only gotten positive reviews on posts. I was asked to  post a biography. I did. Every word, and hardship faced was mentioned.

Fluttershy's animals seemed to like me even.

The sheer fact that I came from a deep dark trench, all the way into  fame, and recognition, and happiness in only a couple years was amazing! I wrote to the princess all the time, and thanked her for her generosity. 

I never wrote books about "Life" again. Because What happened earlier, predictions of the future, might happen again. I'd like to keep life a surprise, and live every day, learning something new, without expecting something else.

Scarlet...I did it...I reached the life I KNOW you and mom would have wanted. I'll miss you. I'll be sure to see mom soon to tell her the good news. Or maybe she already knows...  I can sincerely say that through the years of loneliness, I have found that Special Somepony, and have found ponies I can actually call "Friends." A dream I never thought I'd achieve....





........THE END......
