Letters to the moon

Letter one

Dear Princess Luna,
It is hard to believe that you've already been gone for a whole year. The days have been passing slowly in Equestria ever since you've left, and I'm having a very hard time adjusting to ruling Equestria by myself. Today the EUP guard was formed for my protection, but honestly, I don't think I really need it. I just humored them by letting them guard me to give themselves something to do of value, but again, I think the whole thing is very silly. Much has been going on since you have left; the royal architects are already designing a new castle on top of a far off mountain in what I presume will be the new capitol of Equestria. What this city's name is, I do not know as of yet, but I'd like to hope that they'd name it "Lunapolis" in your honor because the view from this mountain overlooks the moon in the most beautiful way. I miss your night skies more than anything; try as I may, I could never recreate the beauty of your magnificent night, even if other ponies praise me for my efforts.
I hear that the ponies of Equestria are planning a holiday called the "Summer Sun Celebration" in honor of your defeat, and sometimes I couldn't hate them more for it. It sickens me that they do not remember all of the lovely dreams you have sent to everypony before you had gone, and sometimes their forgetfulness makes me want to scream at them, but I never do. To my blessing and my curse, I have always held my tongue; you were always the most boisterous one at the castle, and I love you for it.
What really stinks about this new castle design is that they're only putting in one throne in the throne room. I know I have to rule alone in your absence, but I know you will come back one day and rule beside me in harmony once more. I miss the days where we could work together to solve the problems of Equestria, for without you I never would have been able to defeat Discord. You were also the one that initially found the tree of harmony, and for this I owe everything to you.
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings by not appreciating you more, and I'm sorry my subjects would not do the same. I do my best to smile and do my part as the new ruler of Equestria, but to be honest, I'm hopelessly lost without you. I hope that you can come back soon.

Love, Celestia
