To the citizens of Equestria, 

This letter is a response to the recent libelous letter regarding me, my activities, my school and her treasonous beliefs regarding deposing the whole monarchy but also putting a republic in its place. 

Regarding Fluttershy, while she has had her good moments in the past, such as being an Element Bearer and aiding in saving Equestria on multiple occasions, she is not this sweet little angel that she is depicted as all over Equestria.  You see, she is a seductress and will jump on the opportunity to break any mare's heart just so she could go for somepony else.  I will let Twilight go into detail with you here.  - Princess Celestia 

The facts surrounding Fluttershy are horrid.  When I was first sent to Ponyville, it was to study friendship and while it took me a few years to finally befriend her and several other ponies, it finally happened and I thought that everything would be fine.  Now we did not get into a relationship right away but after her then marefriend left her for a unicorn mare she had a lot in common with, she came after me. 

That is right, she came after me, used a few smooth moves and some sweet words and she managed to seduce me.  Now I thought being with her would be perfect but eventually she became controlling, very controlling.  Now I loved her, I truly loved her but she became controlling to the point where I could not even leave my castle without her permission, I was constantly both physically and emotionally abused and I could not speak to anypony without her permission to do so most of the time. 

I will admit, I was willing to be a doormat but then something happened that may cause everypony's opinion about her to change.  She wound up cheating on me with the local vet here in Ponyville, Dr. Fauna.  Here is how it went down, those two were making plans to build an animal sanctuary when she told me about it and that it "just sort of happened" since they both like animals.  Now tell me, would you really be willing to believe the words of an amoral pony such as her?  Are you really going to allow a rant from her to change your opinion about the benevolent and loving Princess Celestia?

And that isn't the worst of it.  She is also a professor in my School of Friendship and all the students know about how she is.  She is continuing to engage in sexual activities with the vet and all the students know it.  What is worse is that one student dislikes her so much because of this that she has requested that I terminate her employment.  Now if she weren't so good at teaching kindness, I would give her the boot. 

Another horrible thing about her, she is a liar.  You know how she claimed I molested her on a map mission?  That is a lie and it was her who did something illegal.  I was simply standing a bit too close to her and she threw me out of the balloon.  I was unable to catch myself and I hit the ground, hard.  I could have been either seriously injured or killed.  That makes her guilty of attempting to assassinate a princess but in the end Celestia and I let it slide because we figured locking her up would be squandering federal funds on a pony who is undeserving of the easy life in the dungeon. 

Now I shall turn things back over to Princess Celestia.  - Princess Twilight Sparkle 

Ok, now I am sure some of you saw the report on ENN regarding her accusations.  Now I will be transparent and admit to having an encounter with her.  What was going on was that she felt like everypony hated her and wanted me to make her feel loved, she basically asked me to have sex with her.  Basically she seduced me even though she claims to love that vet she cares so much about.

Now after that, she acted like I wanted more from her and demanded that I force Princess Twilight to free a couple of criminals from her dungeon if I wanted her to continue to come up and visit me.  Well I told her that I would not betray Twilight and stab her in the back for her and she vowed that I would pay for not siding with her.  Naturally we know what she meant by that and now here we are, Princess Twilight and I are responding to her libelous and treasonous letter with our own letter. 

Now tell me Equestria, what is your opinion of a pony who has brought up sexual activities involving ponies who has her own past of infidelity?  What is your opinion of a pony who is openly trying to start a rebellion by urging everypony to overthrow the monarchy and move the nation into the same style of government that failed the earth ponies prior to the foundation of Equestria?

Fluttershy is a pony who has an ax to grind with not just Princess Twilight but myself as well.  Now I did admit to some of the things she accused me of but the truly bad things she claimed are false.  Those things are simply things to try and start a rebellion!  Now please think long and hard before you decide who to side with.  Remember, I have never once cheated on anypony nor have I seduced a pony who is already taken!  Also remember, Princess Twilight had her sweet, loving heart crushed by this disloyal pony who wrote that letter.

Sincerely, 

Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight Sparkle
