Dear Apple Bloom,

Well, I’m sorry to hear that.  I thought it would’ve been neat if you could get more members in the Cutie Mark Crusaders in Ponyville.  Hopefully things can calm down again soon.

I imagine that you’re probably trying to hide yourselves from everypony after all that.  I definitely understand that feeling.  Back at my old school, I always wanted to just disappear and avoid everypony, especially bullies like Rough House and Black Eye.  It was like living in Tartarus, all the name calling and being pushed around.  What was worse was that everypony at school seemed to join them.   I was easy pickings for them.  I had my head shoved down several toilets, backed against the wall only to lose my lunch money and just being tortured in so many ways.  It was miserable!

I’m so glad that I’m going to a new school now where all my friends are and none of those other jerks.  I can now get up from bed and not dread the day ahead.  I know it sounds weird, but I actually look forward to school so I can see Rocky and Roller.  The Patch twins are in kindergarten, so they’re only at school for half of the day and kept separate from the rest of us.  It’s kind of weird that way.  I miss having to only be at school for half the normal time.

Anyways, just don’t get too down on yourself Apple Bloom.  I’m sure things will pass soon enough.  It’s not like the world is going to end anytime soon or anything.  Just stick by Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo and you should be fine.

As always, I hope to hear from you soon.

Your Cousin,

Babs
