"Jackie! You got a letter from Rainbow Dash!" Rares shouted at me.
I took the envelope from her and shouted back with a smile, "Thank ya! But y'all didn't need to shout because Ah'm right here in the same room!"
"I know, darling," she said with a titter. "I just wanted a reaction out of you."
"Uh-huh," I said before pulling Rares down to give her a quick smooch on the lips. "How's that for a reaction?"
"Hmmm...I do believe it was somewhat lacking," she replied, tapping her chin with her right index finger.
"Oh really?"
"Mhmm."
I set the envelope in my hand on the arm of the sofa, tackled Rares, and laid a sloppy, passionate kiss on her mouth.
"Pthhh! Yuck! What was that?" she asked when I finally released her mouth from my own.
"It was a reaction," I answered with a smirk.
"Well, it needs work," she teased. "So what's the letter say?"
"Hold yer horses. Ah ain't even opened the envelope." I pulled out a piece of paper and when I unfolded it, something dropped onto the floor. "Huh. She sent a photo of herself."
Rares took the photo while I read the letter out loud.
Dear A.J.
How've you been doing? It's been crazy warm here, even though it's mid-October. The M.T.I. has been a complete bitch to us (kinda reminds me of you over the summer. Lol. J/k.)
"She ain't never gonna let me live that down, is she?" I asked Rares.
"Considering how rude you were, I wouldn't doubt it, darling," she replied.
A rolled my eyes and continued reading.
They've always got me at the front of the chow line because apparently I'm "underweight" and need to gain a few pounds. Between you and me, I think the M.T.I. is jealous of my high metabolism (I think that's how it's spelled). I can't even describe how many pounds of food I eat per day. The funny thing is that in the three weeks since basic started, I've only gained about 4 lbs.
Enough about the food.
Are you and Rarity getting along better? I remember you mentioning that she was pretty pissed off and even slapped you a few times during the party. Let her know that she doesn't have to worry about me stealing you back. One of the other chicks in my flight (who happens to have a bigger rack than you) and I have been spending a lot of time on Sundays chilling on each other's bunks. I think she's digging me but I'm not sure I'm ready for another relationship quite yet.
"I wonder why that would be," Rares said sarcastically.
"Can y'all not interrupt so I can finish this?"
She wanted to send a picture of both of us in our "sleep gear" to you guys to show how happy we are when we hang out but I talked her out of it...for now.
Anyhow, I'm going to wrap this up because it's nearly 8 pm and since tomorrow is Monday, that means a 5:00 wake up call with the steel trash can. Say hi to Rarity, Sunset, Twi, Flutters, and Pinkie for me.
Love,
DashieP.S. I get a couple of days off after graduating basic, so let Pinkie know to plan a party in about 4 weeks.
"Love?" Rares asked with a raised eyebrow.
I quickly went on the defensive. "It ain't nuthin' like that. When we made nice, she told me that she never stopped loving me. She knows that Ah'm not interested in a romantic relationship with her. Yer the one that Ah was meant to be with. Okay? Ah love ya with all mah heart and soul, Rares."
"Very well," she began, "do you still have feelings for her?"
I hesitated before answering. "Yeah...Ah do. B-b-but not strong feelings. More like, uhhh, 'we dated and it didn't work out' feelings," I said quickly.
Rarity gave me a hug. "I know, Jackie. And I hope that those feelings never manifest themselves between us."
