Dear Princess Celestia,

I’m going to make this brief.

So, I actually went through with what I said I was going to do in the last letter. I found Rainbow, asked her to go to dinner with me and waited for rejection. However, she didn’t yell at me or reject me: Nay, she simply smiled and said that she would love to. No begging, no crying, no bribery, no persuasion: She simply said yes.
       
 The “date” went by without a hitch: Our conversations were just as lively as they were last time, and the food was actually edible. After we finished, we went back to the library: I wanted to invite Rainbow in, but she said that she couldn’t stay. Apparently, the weather patrol had to produce a massive storm at the break of dawn and Rainbow needed the rest. At first I was dejected about this, but then she said something that washed all the bitterness away. 
        
“This was cool, Twilight. We should do it again. How does tomorrow sound?”
        
I couldn’t pounce on this opportunity fast enough: A primitive instinct grasped my head and made it bounce up and down in a vigorous nod. Rainbow did what she always did in these situations: A hearty chuckle and a heavy pat on the back.
        
“You’re such an egghead.”
        
She disappeared into the night sky, leaving me to blush in embarrassment, alone... or maybe it was a blush of an entirely different nature.
        
Could this be it, Princess?
        
Could this be love?

Your faithful student,
