Letters From a Friend

So, that spell of yours. Yeah, that was some cool stuff there.

So it worked? That's good. Is it in the mailbox yet?

Not yet. I just wanted to tell you about it because that really was cool! Going to do it now.

Alright. Just be

Never mind, you're probably already gone.

Just got back. Everything's fine. Nothing ripped, nothing got torn.

Wonderful. I'll go and check my mailbox in just a bit. In the meantime, how's your actual writing assignment going?

I mean, I only wrote my response back less than a week ago. Actually, come to think of it, I don't think I ever thought to get in touch with her online or something. If it's okay with you, I'm going to spend some time looking for her Facebook profile if that's okay with you.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that this Facebook isn't a book of humans' faces?

Right you are. We have things called social networks that allow humans to converse and share info with one another. Think of it like texting, but it's a tad more detailed and features a little more personal information about people and things that we choose to share (hope I don't forget, but there's an extremely good movie about the creation of Facebook I'd love to share with you (obviously, let's wait until you run through these first)).

Of course. I trust any recommendation you can give me and I'll be glad to wait. About getting in touch with this person, Sara, was it? Anyway, is there some kind of rule in the assignment about only being able to write and converse with each other though letters, or is connecting through one of these social networks acceptable too?

I can't say for certain. I'm sure if there was, the teacher would have said something or wrote it in the assignment. Maybe if she knows better, she could tell me. If not, I can always email my teacher or speak to him on Monday to confirm. I can't imagine that it'd be a problem. If the main point is to get to know about someone, then hooking up on Facebook should be straight up encouraged, you know? The letters bit is just to get some extra subtext about them through their penmanship. Besides, if she has a much more active social life than me, she probably won't even bother with my friend request until tomorrow morning, which should hopefully be more than enough time to hear from my teacher about the rules.

But I thought you were already friends. You said she likes a lot of the same stuff you do.

Right, but a friend request on Facebook is just me reaching out to that person online and asking permission if we can see each other's profiles in more depth and get notifications on the stuff we post when we post it. It sounds very mechanical, but it's the best we got when we're separated by several state lines.

I got you, Toby. No worries. I'll go check the mailbox now for the parchment, and we can call it a night tonight. Sound good?

Sounds good. I should also have an ETA (estimated time of arrival if that's not extremely clear) on the Blu-Ray player tomorrow morning too. Enjoy the books!

I'm certain the buildup to them will have been more than worth it. Goodnight, Toby.

Goodnight, Twilight.

Holy shit, I didn’t expect to see this in my tracking feed. Glad to see you back, and hope that you are doing well amidst this pandemic

10187010 Can't go to the movies anymore (nor shop/eat out as often as I want), but other than that, little has changed for me, which is great.

[Venerable Ro]

Well would you look at that. We're back on then? Good to have you.

[ANW]

I have to agree with you. I’m happy to see this got an update, but after a whole year of inactivity, I’d at least appreciate a bit of a time skip. I feel that if it keeps going at this pace, people will lose interest.

[lordofchaos14]

This is such a good story, I hope it can continue more often.

[AHeater]

It's been a year already? I think this is how people get old quick lol

[Odd_Sarge]

Hey man, hope you're staying safe! Thanks for updating; hope to see you keep writing things!

[DrSilverDusk]

You should introduce corona to the mix

[Greatazuredragon]

Great to have you back.

[Triv_]

[NyOs29]

its defiantly better than screaming your lungs out at the world for screwing your life over due to a virus that doesn’t care about politics or economics.

"What-- dang it! Second time this week ugh"-- walks away mutter under breath--" Stupid watch, never works right."

[TehEpicDuckeh]

love this story, very cute, hope it gets updates soon :))))

[DarkPriest]

Oh, is it dead? Very sad, had a lot of fun reading it, very unique

[EnthusiasticHobbyist]

I binged this in one go, something I haven't done with a fic in almost two years! I know you haven't updated it since the release of this chapter, but on the off chance that this does get another update, I'll be eagerly waiting.

[ItsYaBoiSatan]

I really hope it's not dead, I also binged it in one go, it was very inspiring, gives we ideas for the compatibility of peeps and pons...

[White seal]

You never know haha, look at this story https://www.fimfiction.net/story/46048/spikes-rainbow-dash

Died for nearly 8 years, randomly came back, then proceeded to die for another 2 (and still is)
It's the most out-of-nowhere return of a story I've ever seen on this site
