To the Citizens of Equestria, 

I am sure that most, if not all of you, are familiar with me and know that I have not been the nicest pony as of late.  While I do not expect forgiveness, I do hope that not so many of you will hate me anymore. 

Princess Celestia, I am sorry for making the accusations I did regarding you, your school, your interactions with your students and their interactions with one another.  I suppose I was so angry over you not caring about the situation with the Pie Sisters that I simply lost all rational thought.  Now I will let you know that I will never forget your lack of action but I do forgive you, I know you were just upset because I broke Twilight's heart. 

I am also sorry that I suggested that everypony get together, overthrow the monarchy and turn Equestria into a republic.  I have done research on republics since my healing and I must admit, they sound downright horrible!  They sound like they are full of all sorts of disharmony, Tirek level disharmony!  I know now that we are very lucky to have you as our leader, you have been the rock that has held our great nation together. 

Dr. Colgate, Moondancer, Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts, I am sorry about the accusations I made against you.  Like it is with Celestia's ignorance over the Pie Sister incident, I will never forget what you four did to me but I can forgive you.  I know you four were simply not only getting revenge for what I said about you, but also what I said about Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight.  I do hope you can forgive me.

Twilight, I am especially sorry for what I did to you.  I know that cheating on you was one of the absolute worst things I have ever done in my life.  I never once even thought about how much pain I would bring you.  I know you loved me more than I deserved and I got what I deserved. 

I am also sorry for how I abused you, controlled you and ultimately humiliated you.  I guess the power rush I got from eventually controlling you just went to my head.  Eventually I just couldn't control myself and that is what led to me thinking I could cheat on you and get away it.  I just hope that you can forgive me someday.  For now, I just hope that we can be civil towards one another and not fight. 

For the rest of the country, I am sorry for how I represented our great nation.  I know I was once an Element Bearer and was once considered one of the great heroines of this land but in the end I became nothing more than a sex obsessed embarrassment.  I do hope that I can make Equestria proud again someday, I hope that I can do something worthy to be respected again. 

Again Equestria, all I can say right now is that I am sorry and I hope I can do things that will make me worthy of everypony's respect again. 

Hoping You'll Forgive Me, 

Fluttershy 





Dear Fluttershy, 

What you did was bad, very bad.  The accusations you made and your treasonous statements are things that I will never forget but I suppose that forgiveness is the first step to setting things right.  So I figure I can forgive you in time.  For now though, just give me time to think about things.  Give me time to allow your apology to sink into my head and I should be ready to re-establish the kind of friendship we once had prior to when you seduced Twilight.  

Best Regards, 

Princess Celestia





Fluttershy, 

As you know the four of us are extremely strong supporters of Princess Celestia and when you made all those claims about her AND attempted to incite a rebellion, we were incredibly angry.  We do accept your apology and we do apologize for the actions that we engaged in.  Given that we have no real kind of relationship, the apology will be much easier for us to accept than it was for those you work more closely with.  Hopefully you can repair all your relationships. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. M. Colgate, Moondancer, Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts 





Fluttershy, 

This is going to be hard, extremely hard.  From the moment you began to control me and abuse me it began to hurt, a lot.  I loved you and you treated me more like a possession than you did a marefriend.  Every time I see you all I can think of is how you cheated on me and broke my heart.  While I can be civil towards you, forgiveness is quite a long ways down the road. 

Perhaps if we spend more time with one another in public places together, such as Sugarcube Corner, the trust we once had can be re-established.

Sincerely, 

Princess Twilight Sparkle
