Dear Babs,
You can’t see it right now, but I’m sticking my tongue out at you. Okay, actually I have a pencil in my mouth, writing this letter, but when I’m done I’ll stick my tongue out at you! Anyways, that’s great that the Cutie Mark Crusaders is expanding so much there. You really are doing a great job Babs.
Sorry about not replying sooner when you first wrote about being suspended, and all. I agree that it was pretty dumb, as well as the whole color thing with the capes. Seriously, what’s wrong with red? It’s just a color, like blue and green!
When your letter about the trouble with school arrived, there were some weird things happening in Ponyville. First, I woke up to find that Applejack wasn’t on the farm at all. Instead, Pinkie Pie was there with Applejack’s cutie mark. It was totally strange, her hair was all flat and she was talking real funny, well funnier than is normal for Pinkie Pie. I never thought I would ever say that. But that wasn’t the strangest part. She actually thought that she was Applejack, or that it was her job to do what Applejack did since it was what her cutie mark was telling her. But that still wasn’t the strangest thing.
There was also something strange happening with the weather. The clouds were arranged like a checker board. There was wind, snow, rain and tornadoes, all at the same time! That wasn’t the strangest thing either. Apparently Rarity, Sweetie Belle’s sister, was also affected, and she thought she was Rainbow Dash, the pony that Scootaloo looks up to. Apparently all of my sister’s friends switched places, except for Twilight. I don’t think you met Twilight when you were here. She’s the town librarian, and saved Ponyville from both Nightmare Moon and Discord, along with my sister and their friends. So Twilight managed to fix everything and put things back to normal with my sister and her friends, though I’m still not sure how it happened to begin with. And that still wasn’t the strangest part!
The strangest part happened later that evening. There was a bright flash in the sky, and something that looked like Twilight’s cutie mark came down. Then Twilight comes out with wings! She’s normally a unicorn, but now she also has wings! Princess Celestia was there too, and she bowed to Twilight. Then everypony in town did the same. Apparently Twilight is a princess now!
Then over the next few days, we were in Canterlot for Twilight’s corni corol crown thingy. So when I finally got to read your letter, the other one about how everything was fixed with the Cutie Mark Crusaders arrived, so I couldn’t write anything to comfort you. I’m sorry. I will also try to write back more often because the other times I was either busy with chores, crusading or the reunion.
I also think you would make a great role model, Babs. You are a great pony with great ideas. You stood up for others, although Applejack still says that you shouldn’t go fighting ponies unless it’s absolutely necessary. Don’t worry about what you did here in Ponyville, it’s in the past. Besides, we all make mistakes. You, me, Applejack and even Twilight have made mistakes, and she’s a princess now!
I can’t wait to hear from you and hear what the Cutie Mark Crusaders in Manehattan do to get their cutie marks. I love hearing from you, Babs. I can’t wait to when we can see each other again.
Your cousin,
Apple Bloom
p.s. There, I stuck my tongue out at you!
