Dear Princess Twilight,
I hope things are going well for you in Equestria, and that you’ve had some time to rest after the time-loop adventure you were telling us about. It sounded really exciting! Who would have guessed the friendships you formed would have such a profound effect on history? I can’t imagine how it felt to see those horrible possible futures and realize our friends stopped them from coming to pass.
I know, they're technically not really “our” friends; they’re alternate versions of my friends who live in a separate dimension. But I can’t help it. I know those five so well here in the human world that I feel I’m already practically friends with their pony counterparts. And this world’s Twilight Sparkle already reminds me of you in so many ways. Still, I guess there are some differences. I can’t picture you ever being as reluctant to make friends as she was, or you accidentally unleashing a magical catastrophe!
Things have been pretty normal at CHS since the incident at the Friendship Games. We haven’t encountered any monsters, magical dilemmas, or threats to multiple realities, so honestly, things have felt a bit dull around here recently. The paperwork for Twilight’s transfer came in last week (not you, obviously, I mean the human Twilight), so she’ll be starting classes tomorrow. Otherwise, things have been rather quiet.
In fact, everything’s felt a bit too mundane, if you know what I mean. Each day is just so monotonous, the same old routine of going to school and doing homework. Spending time with my friends is wonderful, of course—it really brightens up my days. But whenever they’re not around, things feel kind of wearisome.
I can’t help but wonder if something’s wrong. No, that’s not it. I think the problem isn’t what, but where. I’ve been tossing around the idea that I feel this way because I don’t belong in the human world. I mean, nothing on Earth excites me the way Equestria once did. It feels like nothing here can really satisfy me. I think maybe I belong with ponies.
So I’m considering moving back to Equestria. I don’t know what I’d do, or where I’d live, or how I’d keep Princess Celestia from throwing me in a dungeon, but I really think it would be better for me in the long run. I simply don’t see myself ever being as happy with life over here as I know I would be in Equestria.
But whenever I get to thinking like this, I remember my friends. I can’t just leave them and go running off to another world. I’d miss them—and I think they would miss me, too. I already joked about already knowing their pony versions, but I suppose it wouldn’t really be the same. The connection between us would be missing.
What do you think of all this? Should I return to Equestria? Should I stay at CHS? Have you ever felt anything like what I’m describing? Or am I rambling about a bunch of stupid problems that I should be able to handle on my own? I suppose my whining must seem pretty trivial to somepony who recently witnessed the world fall apart multiple times.
I just want to go home.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Your friend,
Sunset Shimmer
