Dear Daring,
So me and Gilda (That new kid who was a griffin that I’m pretty sure I told you about. I don’t remember. She’s pretty cool. Just in case I didn’t tell you) decided that Nightmare Night this year is going to be the super awesome! We’re not dressing up this year. Me and Gilda are too cool for that. Besides, we got some pure rainbow that we’re gonna use for some pranks. Don’t ask how we got it. But if anyone asks, we don’t have it and you don’t know anything. Quiche?
Turns out there’s this party going at town hall with all the stuffy grown-up ponies. Me and Gilda are gonna sneak in and spike the punch. I’m not even sure what means, but Gilda said it was fine, so whatever. Said that the rainbow will give the punch a super strong kick and make everyone do that face when you taste the rainbow. Man, this is going to be so great! Kinda wish you were here to help me out. We’d need a distraction, and the grown-ups like you for some reason.
The teacher dude keeps giving me this funny look… It’s like he knows that I’m up to something… Or it might be because I made some stuff explode in the science room… Not really sure… Maybe both? Don’t think he likes me very much. I did set his mane on fire, so that probably doesn't help. Sucks that I don’t have your fancy talking skills to get me out of trouble. Detention stinks.
Mom and dad don’t like it. Too much of a troublemaker they think. I got grounded too. (Why is called grounded if we live in clouds?)
You know, sometimes when I’m up in my room and stuff, I can’t help but think that it’s too big. It’s a bit weird having it all to myself. You've been gone for what? Almost half a year or something and I already made a permanent fort out of your bed. It’s got a tower that I made out of your dresser and Fluttershy will hide in it when she comes over and I start a pillow fight. She doesn't say anything, but I know she misses you. Mom and dad do too. You kinda were the favorite after all. You didn't booby trap the classroom and died a teacher’s coat bright pink or make a rainbow pool explode.
You need to visit. I can hear mom say so. Says she misses you and tells dad that she doesn't like that you haven’t sent any letters about how you’re doing, or that she can’t send you any since she doesn't know where you are. It’s kinda depressing. Really kills the mood, you know? You’re not even here, and you’re still a buzzkill. That’ll never change, huh? Whatever.
So, yeah. That’s about it I guess. Gilda’s cool, Fluttershy misses you, mom and dad do too, and I’m still awesome.
Your sis,
Rainbow Dash
