Well, here goes nothing. It’s been four days since I was last home. And I hope I don’t have to go anywhere for the rest of the year.
Suddenly, as I walk on the porch, I look back, only to see a mail courier walk by and slide an envelope within the bottom mailbox. Once the courier is out of the yard, I mosey over to the mailboxes and open the bottom one. I levitate the envelope out and hold it under my left wing.
I trot back and enter the house, subsequently heading to my room and levitating the envelope to in front of me.
CARVE FLASHLIGHT
Mailed from: Ponyville, Equestria 67430
Destination: Saddleson, Las Pegasus, Equestria 89015
I... don’t have that last name. It’s simply Carve.
Oh well. Time to see who wanted to write to me.
Dear Carve,
I know I could’ve just sent this letter simply by the way you taught me, but I don’t think I’m ready for long distance send-offs quite yet. It might take some time before I get used to it. If you’re currently reading, it means that I’m now living with Princess Twilight. At the moment, I’m getting ready to head to the hive to gather with the other changelings.
Before Chrysalis left Ponyville, she said she’d end Hearth’s Warming at the hive early, which is something I think almost everyone would think of doing if something like losing someone close happened. However, I, myself, am feeling a lot better after an hour or so of Soulsilver, so Twilight gladly invited me to the Hearth’s Warming party at the entrance of her castle. While I’m on the subject, she told me that you can come if you want. Maybe we can catch up then.
Well, I’m going to continue getting ready. I’ll see you soon.
Sincerely,
Aita
I’m glad Aita remembers me. He must’ve liked me when we slept together when we were celebrating Hearth’s Warming before Carina and Pane went missing on us. From what I remember, Trace Light also lives in Ponyville, so the two might get along very well if they get a chance to meet up.
Although that does beg a question though. I wonder how Princess Twilight will go about taking care of Aita. Maybe I should write to her. I trot to the living room and grab a sheet of paper and a pen.
Princess Twilight,
I just recieved Aita’s letter. I’m glad you invited Aita to the Hearth’s Warming party at your place. I imagine with both you and Chrysalis that Aita will be busy for the next day or so. Thanks for inviting me to the party as well, by the way. I wonder when it’ll happen.
Although now, there’s something I want to know. Aita lives with you now, so how are you going to go about taking care of Aita? Not in the actual caring process as a whole, but in terms of schedule? I do know next school year will start right before the Autumnal Equinox, but will that be the time when Aita starts going to school, that is on the condition you’ll send him at all. I wouldn’t mind whether or not you would, but I’m a bit curious at the moment.
Please write back.
Carve.
And with that, I roll up the paper, disintegrate it, and send it off for Spike to receive.
While I wait, I decide to see if Rusty Flashlight has the pilot of Power Ponies in his room and-
A note.
Carve,
If you’re here, Pane and I went to the hive to meet Queen Chrysalis before the calling starts. She’s in a bit of a depression from what Twilight told Pane. We won’t be back until the evening.
Rusty Flashlight
And- huh?!?
After I turn to face the living room, a flame forms in front of me and materializes into a scroll that falls onto the floor. This was probably sent by Twilight. Aita is still getting the hang of sending letters directly to other changelings.
I unravel the scroll...
Carve,
Happy to help with whatever I can. And yes, Aita’s currently at the hive if you want to know whether or not he is. And as of the party, it starts tonight after sundown. I hope you can come; you probably could use the positive aroma after what happened today.
Now about the topic of school. Perhaps education runs differently in the hive, but the schoolhouse here in Ponyville runs two semesters every year, the first one from late January to mid May, and the other from early September to a week or so before Hearth’s Warming. What I’m going to do is enroll Aita for the spring semester this year, and see how he likes the other fillies and colts. If it’s a bust, he won’t have to worry about going after that.
Feel free to ask me whatever questions you have in the future. I’ll be happy to answer them.
Sincerely,
Princess Twilight Sparkle
I head back to my room and look at the clock: 1:30 P.M. Looks like I’ll have to get going pretty soon.
But wait. I could teleport to any place in Ponyville basically. I probably could go to- Wait. What did Twilight’s castle look like on the inside again? Ah shoot! I forgot!
Oh well. Maybe a little detour may help things a bit. Maybe teleport to Town Hall instead. I definitely remember what the roundabout looks like. That’s for sure.
Or... maybe I can pay Pinkie Pie a visit. Haven’t seen her in over a month. I’d sure love me some hotsauce right about now. Yeah, why not.
So after leaving a note on my door, I turn into the unicorn Twilight and teleport to the dining floor of Sugarcube Corner.
“Carve?!? Is that you?!?”
I shed the disguise when I face Pinkie Pie with a smile.
“Hah! It IS you! I was so worried about you!”
“Uh, why would you be worried about me, Pinkie?”
“I heard what happened to your friend.”
“You did? Well, as you can imagine, I’m not really feeling the greatest since it happened. But I’m up for some hotsauce if you have some.”
“Actually, I’m saving that drowning for some eggnog at the Hearth’s Warming party at Twilight’s Castle.”
“Yeah. I’d teleport to Twilight’s Castle instead of here, because I was there before. Unfortunately...”
“You forgot what it looked like, huh? Well, Pinkie Pie’s got you covered, Carve. Let’s go!”
