//------------------------------// // Letter 14 - Starlight to Sunburst // Story: Sincerely, Starlight // by Nines //------------------------------// Dear Sunburst, I should first point out that this quality you so admire in me also led me to transforming you into a foal against your will just to play a board game. Not that I'm eager to bring up lackluster moments of the past, but I guess I'm just trying to check your perspective? It's my blind spot, and somepony much wiser than me explained that I'm probably going to have to wrestle with that lesson again and again. I overdo. I cross boundaries. Never with the intention of hurting anypony, but it just happens. I think I've gotten better at avoiding that, so it doesn't happen as often as it used to, but I'd hate to hurt you. We've had to relearn how to relate to each other again, and in some ways, we're still learning about the interests of the other. You've been very encouraging about my interests in kites, and I've come to appreciate your love of antiques a little better than before. We both like board games, we both have trying parents, and we love magic. Your stance on quantum energy teleportation is a little maddening, but it's nice having somepony other than Twilight comprehend the effects teleportation spells could have on mass transit. Even Luna's eyes cross when I try to talk about the particular dilemma of proper teleportation protocol for more than two ponies. It's pretty funny! Sunburst, you know that it's been an adjustment for me, us seeing each other like this. I just want you to know that I am enjoying myself. I like being with you, and I hope that you'll enjoy where we're going next. Are you still okay with me planning things? I want to make you happy like you've made me happy. It takes two to make things work, doesn't it? We survived Sires Hollow together, after all. Sincerely, Starlight Glimmer
