//------------------------------// // A Lovely Shade of Blue // Story: Lost Letters of Equestria // by Snicket //------------------------------// Dear Princess Celestia, I have so most excellent news. We have a new resident to our quant little town. A kind fellow that isn’t from around here, but has never thought twice over saving it. One who has personally captured my heart and many of those around him. While maintaining a cool and collective demeanor, of which a certain cyan mare that we all know, Could learn from. Oh, listen to me ramble on about trivial matters. I’m sure you have been informed of new arrival a dozen times over by now. Still there is something about Sonic that seems to come up whenever I talk to him. And no, it’s not how he came to our land; lashing out at us in a blind rage. That until recently, I thought was his normal demeanor. That this ‘cool act’ was just an act; which I am more than pleased to know was incorrect. What I mean is that whenever I look into this Sonic’s eyes. I see something not common in our land the look of sadness, pain, suffering, and loss. I don’t mean the kind you’d see from a batty kid or a pony down on their luck. Rather the kind you see from one that has been through great hardships and has seen things that probably would make the normal pony ill. I do hope this is not the case and that I’m just over thinking this matter entirely. It would be heart breaking to know that such a kind and gentle soul has been though such pain. That somepony is responsible for all this and has shown no remorse for doing so. Perhaps the answer will come in time and we’ll have to accept it when it comes. I am a big envious of Twilight in her regards. She was able to see the good in Sonic before any pony else. I don’t believe it was mere intuition, she knows something that we don’t. I’m not going to push the issue, but I’d like to know what it is. Also how she came in contact with such information. Or maybe I’m just jealous. Had I known how sweet and caring Sonic was when he first arrived. I would have gladly opened my home and probably most of the others; to this visitor to a far away land. But alas, such are things. Our new visitor is staying with Twilight and I have to accept that. Though I do hope, she doesn’t become obsessed as she tends to do with most things. I can see the appeal, but this is somepony that saved our lives, not some dusty old relic from a lost civilization. Twilight doesn’t know how lucky she is to have somepony like that by their side. Perhaps it was fate that brought them together…or just a bunch of good luck. I’ll see how this pans out and what will come of it. Maybe it will surprise even you, princess. The fashonista of style and generosity, Rarity P.S. – Would it be too much to offer our new friend a tour of our town? B: I found this letter crumpled up into a ball. Like someone else read it and was not happy when they reached the conclusion.
