//------------------------------// // Epilogue: Correspondence via Princess Luna & Starlight // Story: Sincerely, Starlight // by Nines //------------------------------// Dear Princess Luna, We've been having a blast at the Fillypines. The beaches here are gorgeous, and they've got such a vibrant nightlife! Sunburst has four left hooves, but he manages a slow dance. Our stay here isn't long-- we kind of came out here spur-of-the-moment. I suppose we just wanted to enjoy our new relationship without much interruption. I'm still looking forward to tea! --Starlight Glimmer Starlight, Huzzah! It does my heart glad to hear from thee! Thine extended retreat to Our Town had me worried, but upon receiving thy last letter, I was quite relieved. Starlight, rest and relish thy time with thy new beau. My teacups are waiting patiently. --Princess Luna P.S. Ha ha! I adored the postcard! The mouse deer in a top hat and monocle made Celestia squirt milk from her nose. I could live eternity twice and that wouldst never get tiresome. Princess Luna, Celestia doing something so unseemly is a hard image to conjure, so I'm just going to have to take your word for it! Our tea time may be sooner than I thought. Romance is not acceptable currency abroad, just so you know! We have just enough to stay another night, then we're returning to the Crystal Empire tomorrow. Another thing we failed to bring was sunscreen. I'm fine, but Sunburst has sunburn. Like, full body. The poor thing keeps wincing, and whenever something touches him he let's out this cute yelp. If I'm being totally honest, I'm enjoying his misfortune a little more than is appropriate, but I'm making up for it by doting on him. Now that I think on it, maybe me doting on somepony is as hard to imagine as Celestia squirting milk from her nose? --Starlight Glimmer Starlight, Hopefully this message reaches thee without trouble, as I'm sure thou will have arrived back in the Crystal Empire by the time I send this. Starlight, it is no trouble for this princess to envision thee caring for another pony. Thou only needed a proper partner to bring such loving care from thy heart. Romance may not be a currency that can be exchanged for goods and services, but never doubt that thou art richer for its presence in thy life. I look forward to seeing thee, my friend. --Princess Luna
