Letters - X

Not seeing, still we know —
Not knowing, guess —
Not guessing, smile and hide
And half caress —

And quake — and turn away,
Seraphic fear —
Is Eden's innuendo
"If you dare"?

by Emily Dickinson

Dear Princess Luna,

So I went to dinner with Sunburst. It was nice, I suppose. We went to some fancy restaurant I couldn't pronounce that served lots of little dishes and really bubbly champagne. There were even lit candles! I don't think I've ever eaten somewhere so... Flammable? Sunburst kept sweating and stuttering. He even pulled out my chair when I went to sit!

It wasn't until we'd finished our meal and stumbled through a conversation about transfiguration theory that he asked if I'd be willing to have dinner with him again.

I was REALLY confused. I mean, he'd already apologized and bought me dinner. Was it necessary to do it all again? I told him he didn't need to keep taking me out because I'd already forgiven him. He sort of... slumped... then mumbled that he liked taking me out. He suggested maybe something else instead, like a trip to the beach, or maybe a personal tour of the crystal castle.

Luna, when it finally clicked what was happening, I ran away. Like, full gallop.

A date!? Sunburst took me on a DATE?

I really, really have no idea what to think about this! He's supposed to be my foalhood friend! How long has he felt like this? What am I supposed to do?

Still freaking out,
Starlight Glimmer
