Manehatten Day 2: Ice Cream In The Park

Dear Mom,

Today rocked! Sense me and Trixie didn’t have to work she showed me around town. I didn’t know so many shops could be in one city. There’s shops dedicated just to hats here, isn’t that weird? It was fun trying all of them on though, of course the shop keeper seemed to get a little aggravated with us. I don’t get why ponies here are so uptight, I mean, loosen up a little! Wonder if they’re really unhappy or if that’s just their personality... I don’t know.

Anyway, Trixie and me got some ice cream from this stand in the park, and sat down to talk a little. I never told you about how I got kicked out of the Academy, but I told her and it’s time I tell you. We had to clear the clouds from the sky, the more clouds you cleared the more points you got. Of course, Rainbow Dash was my partner and me and her were rockin’ it up there. I got a great idea to use a tornado to clear all the clouds away. Rainbow was a little hesitant but went along with it. Unfortunately, we lost control of it and it knocked this hot air balloon out of the sky, but it did clear all the clouds away!

Rainbow got really ticked. She said I tried to murder her friends by wiping them out with that tornado. I mean, there was what? A hundred pegasi in the area? They would’ve been fine, duh. But, no. No, she had to go and complain to Spitfire about it. I think she was planning this from the beginning. She wasn’t happy as a wing pony, so she was all “Let’s make Lightening the bad leader.” How unfair is that?

Trixie totally agreed with me about it. She even met Rainbow Dash before and agreed that she is a hot head. That is pretty much obvious of course, but still I can’t believe that she did something like that. I thought we were friends...

Well not anymore! Trixie gets me and I get her and we’re friends now! And she wouldn't betray me like that loser Dash did! We look after each other, I mean, she even giving me a place to stay! I just gotta show Dash that I am the best flier in all of Equestria, not her. Maybe, I’ll head to Canterlot next, once I get enough money. That’s where the Wonderbolts started, maybe, I can start my own team! Yeah, that’s what I’ll do. I’m gonna start my own flying team.

Your planning daughter,
Lightning Dust
