A Letter From the Family

I slowly opened my eyes and yawned, I got up and stretched then I saw Rainbow Dash if front of me and the she shouted,”HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAMP!” Then she flew over and hugged me.

“Thank you Rainbow Dash!” I said as I hugged her back.

“15 years now! Great job! 3 years since you got your cutie mark! And I see those wings are slowly growing too! They have doubled in size since last year!” shouted Rainbow to reassure me.

“Thanks, but it may be a while before I can, if I ever do, to fly. But it doesn’t matter I am a grounded to the ground for life, I am still the luckiest pony ever because I have you!” I said then I looked at the photo I had next to my bed, it was a photo of my mom and dad with RD. Rainbow was 3 years younger but that didn’t stop them from being besties.I no longer smiled and I almost cried when I noticed a letter next to my bed,”Hey look RD, I have a card under my pic of my you and my parents! Is it from you?”

“No, my present is on the other side of your bed. But you can open it first anyway,” she replied.

“Thanks Rainbow! Your the best!” I shouted.

I reached for the card and and brought it closer. It had a particular, it recognised the smell but couldn’t remember from what it was. I opened it and there was a whole passage of words on and on piece of paper. I decided that it would be best if I read it out loud.

Dear Scoots,

I hope you have lived a great life so far, we wish we could be with you right now. We have been trapped powerless in a horrible, dull, depressing world. We wish we never got into this position. We finally got a unicorn Powerful enough to get this letter sent, we would of sent this to you much sooner anyway. I hope your anunts have spoiled you and that you are happy with yourself. I hope you met all of those Wonderbolts and one of our close friend Rainbow dash. Here is a feather from both of us, and if you ever have the courage to see us, please don’t. Spring River Valley Mountains have seen better days, if you come.. you are in grave danger.

Love Mom and and Dad.”

My heart missed a few beats after I read those last words. Two feathers dropped out out the rest of the envelope as well as a recent picture of my parents. The picture showed the same pegasi as the other one, only my father had a scar on his face. His right eye was blind. My mither was the same beautiful pegasi only now she had a more rugged mane and a cut in her ear. They were smiling and their wings were spread wide.

“Scoots? You ok, you have been frozen still for a few seconds?”

“Oh, sorry. MY MOM AND DAD IS ALIVE!!! I am just soo happy! I bet they don’t know who you are! We must find them! You beat so many villains in the past! Com on! We must save them!” I shouted overjoyed.

Rainbow was the same “Ok Scoots! But we can’t go alone, we must take the other elements with us.”

Then we saw our flanks flash, I was being called. Yes! I was being called with Rainbow! I jumped onto her back and she flew me to Twilight’s Castle of Friendship. We were there and so was the rest of the CMC’s. We were called to the one place I was hoping we were gonna go to, Spring River Valley Mountains. But then we saw Gabby’s mark, then were saw a klutzy griffin fall into the room.”Gabby!” we shouted.

“Hiya Cutie Mark Crusaders! I was gonna visit for Scootaloo’s birthday but then this started glowing like you described it when it happened to the main 6, so I flew here and the same is happening to you! Rainbow Dash! You are coming along! Yeah! Wait till I tell Gilda!” she shouted.

“Yeah, yeah. Now we got one big mission ahead of us!” she shouted.

“Well, I am packed!” said. Gabby.

“We’ll get packed!” shouted the CMC’s.
