First Impressions
Well, seems that Celestia and the others have dropped the negotiations for and about war onto the lap of one Twilight Sparkle, experienced and highly professional administrator to the nation and certainly not the newest, youngest, inexperienced member of a complicated near caste system of government that tends to do the opposite of what’s directly advised to her by everypony she knows on a constant basis.
This’ll go over well.

Plot synopsis
So, here we are! I’ll just jump and say this was actually really good. The whole thing is a single letter written as a test by Celestia in how to deal with a perceived threat. She covers the obvious no BS reasons to not mess with Equestria.
No, wait, she only covers about half of the actual dangers to attacking Equestria.
Actually, it’s more like 75 percent. I’m only doing the same as her and not including hidden potentials, but she covers each of the princesses’ mental issues, the elements of harmony, her own issues…
I was grinning quite a bit at work when I listened to this, and the epilogue made me laugh in my little office. Good thing I heard it there, because I’d have probably gotten in some trouble.
Mechanics
Grammar/Formatting—
Great work, spot on, maybe I missed something when I read it over, but TTS is a bit** at reading words and punctuation errors and I had no issues.
Dialogue/Narration/POV—
A realistic hypothetical letter written by a very statistical and analytical person.
Worldbuilding—
I imagined what she wrote as I read it and my mind’s eye was quite entertained.
Impression—
A great one shot ‘letter’ story.
Conclusion:
Must Read
