Dear Granny Smith,
I'm happy to hear you've finally picked up on regular swimming again after all these years, even if it took a bit of liquid confidence to get there--and I don't mean hard liquor. We both know how far you can go with that in your system, and so does Mayor Mare. And all of the workers at Barley's Brewery. I hope you thought swimming in a beer vat was worth a lifetime ban, missy.
Then again, that sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I suppose it was worth it.
Oh, but Applesnack helped you come to your senses, didn't she? I wouldn't have guessed that, given you drank a tonic you described as "apple juice with seed chunks and leaves too. Very hearty." It really didn't sound that bad to drink, but I'll be honest and say that's not my cup of tea, not when I have Blend #33. Thanks for that blend, by the way--really makes this warm apple cider burst with flavor.
But that wasn't the issue with the tonic, which were claims of it being yet another miracle curative, if I recall. I'm quite surprised she lied about the tonic's benefits at first for your sake, because such a blatant flop at the silver tongues of those salesponies had only invited more trouble with, what else, quote mining and bastardization of her character. You'd think she'd learn by now that mincing words and dodging the issue just makes things worse for all involved and doesn't resolve anything until she owns up to her misstep. Well, if that hasn't gone through her head, it probably did by now, so here's to hoping she never has this problem again.
Don't tell to my nobles that honesty is the best policy, though. They will absolutely deny any wrongdoings to the bitter end, with 'justified' excuses armed and ready. "Oh no, I didn't mean to smash her balcony window. I was trying to get into my apartment, not hers." "I had to keep going after I hit that old stallion! My ice cream cake was going to melt! It was Death by Chocolate!" "No, I'm not mad they burnt to crunchy munchy caramel! I'll just send a new fireproof batch to you and--"
Oh, uh, that last one wasn't one of the excuses I heard. This note from Pinkie got mixed in somehow. I really should keep this desk cleaner, but it keeps piling up with paperwork that really, REALLY shouldn't be on my desk.
Anyway, glad you got your confidence back, and if you feel like going for a swim and have a free weekend, I have an indoor pool invitation with your name on it. You know, to prevent sunburns.
Friends Forever,
Princess Celestia
And speaking of paperwork...
Luna, come here. Do you see this giant scroll taking up almost half of my deskspace? That's from the Cutie Mark Crusaders, addressed to you.
Yeeep, precisely because of what you did a few days ago. Call it a hunch, but I bet it's filled with a bunch of reasons why they should be your dragon sitters, and they were pretty thorough, judging by the size of this.
I'm certain they expect a very thoughtful reply on this matter, so good luck with that!

god i love these puts a smile on my face when i read em
Now we need a "letter from determined Cutie Mark Crusaders" side story
Fireproof candy? Well, that sounds fun.
5987912 That would be fun... if the author doesn't have any objections, I'd like to write it.

I see it coming: Endless sidestories with letters from the "Apalled Nobles" the responses from hapless Tartarus-overseers, Committee of Rare Creatures, Flim & Flams attorney...

There have been so many side story opportunities suggested by you good folk, and some of which I've given some good consideration in regards to writing them. Some of which I may write when I have the time to do so, but at present, that isn't possible.
But I also don't have any objections to fan-written material. In fact, I wholly encourage it, so have at it, dear readers. If you want to write a side story, I'm all for it.
Juuust be sure to ask for my permission/blessing/stamp of approval, or whatever counts as having me be aware that someone wants to expand upon my work.
Anyway, Midnight, you got my blessing thing. I hope it'll be a magical read.
5988197 Speaking of side stories (and older mares gallomping across the country in the letter), when's the next installment of Old-Fashioned Bar Hoppers due? You left us at a wall-banging cliffhanger.
5988184 I would also love to see a cooking show where Celestial and Luna show you how to make all of their special recipes, from Macamoons to Sun Muffins
5988197 Thank you, I think before you expand off the work of another, you need permission. That's how I like to think anyways

I know, I know. I really need to get around and finish the second half of that when I can. I haven't had the time to really sink into it, and I've been WANTING to finish that part, believe me.
Ideally, I should have much more free time to allocate this summer expressly for side story development, and that's coming up in a week or so for me, so if I'm to hazard a guess on when it'll update, I'll give it within two weeks from now. No promises, but that's what I'm aiming for.
Celestia read my note! Score one for Pinkie!
Hehehe. Three fillies, Two dragons, One moon princess, all trouble.
These chapters are the highlight of my bedtime rutine. I dread the moment when you run out of episodes (Then I hope you branch out into FiW and MAS).
I think the CMC have been spending too much time with Twilight if they are able to create that many reasons. They normally don't think things through to save their lives.
5988864 Soooo what was on the note?
5988946
i have to point this out but the two pinkies next to each other like that make the almighty warf stache
if i ever need the reason to make a warf stache i now know how
thank you
5989102 I didn't even notice lol but your welcome (I think)
Do you read Cracked.com?
Number three
5990089
As a matter of fact, I do. And yes, that line was inspired by that section.
Friggin ice cream, man. Some people really want it that bad, I guess.
5965617 Not so relevant:
You know, at this point you could probably slip in Celestia calling Applejack Applejack and I wouldn't even notice until three weeks later…
Why not just use Fluttershy?
5992040 She did once, a few letters ago.
Again? Wow, you pop up a lot.
