Letter 17 - Sunburst to Starlight

Starlight,

When my last letter confirming our next date was sent back with a note from Twilight Sparkle that you were out of town, I got a little worried. Is everything okay? She said it wasn't a friendship mission, but the tone of her note seemed to suggest that she wasn't sure when you'd return. After my crystaller duties were done for the day, I took the last train down to Ponyville and went to the castle. Spike met me at the doors and said you were back at your old village trying to make up your mind about something important. I'm leaving him this letter for when you return.

Whatever it is you're thinking about... [A fat ink spot trails to the edge of the paper.]

Starlight Glimmer, I know I have my shortcomings. I've been cowardly and insensitive. I get my head stuck in a book, and the next thing I know, I'm up to my neck in problems. But we've worked well together in the past, haven't we? You've drawn out the best in me, even when you felt like you were still failing. I want to support you. To make you happy.

I think I have a pretty good guess as to what you're trying to decide. If it's what I think it is [The ink smears.]

Please meet me at my home at sundown this Saturday. I have something I want to give you.
