Chapter 7: Letters

Dear Everypony.

Well, I hope you're all well. It's been a hard week since you left, I miss you all already. I've started my training as a Padawan, yeah, sounds weird, like a mushroom, but the title does grow on you. First things first, I need to call Revan Master, in some ways it was kind of hard to get used to, but then again it does sound kind of cool, i'm being trained by a master, sweet.

Nothing big has happened yet, we mostly study some Jedi history and of course, meditate. My master wants me to meditate three times a day, I find it boring, but he just told me when he was a youngling they were required to meditate FIVE times a day! I know, insane right?!

But, it is pretty relaxing and I feel more at ease afterwards, so I have gotten used to it. The trick is to think about it like my naps on the clouds, and it almost feel like it sometimes. Though one time I really just fell asleep and my master whacked me over the head with a scroll.

The coolest thing though, is lightsaber training!

My master says there is seven lightsaber forms, but I will just be learning the first form before branching out, It kind of sucks, but since i'm moving around with a laser sword that can cut my wings off in one swing, i'm not gonna argue.

So that is what is happening in my life right now, there is more, but I don't wanna overwhelm you guys with weird details. I hope you're all well and happy, I miss you all and I hope we will soon see each other again!

Your friend: Rainbow Dash

PS: Twilight, is Applejack okay? I have sent a letter, but I have not heard anything back.

Greetings everypony!

Thanks for your last letter, I nearly fell over laughing when I read the part with Big Mac and the love poison incident. When I told my master even he smirked a little, he may seem strict, but he does have a sense of humor.

Speaking of which, I have now been his padawan for two weeks now and I am getting used to this new life. It is kind of weird to live in Canterlot, all this high noble stuff is stupid, but the food is great. It's kind of insane to sit at a table with the princesses, my master seems to have no problem with it, telling me it's good practice for me. Though practice for what i'm not sure.

As for my Force powers, i'm getting better, I can now levitate objects, pull them close to me or push them away with little effort. Still, it will be a while before I can do it with no effort at all, but I'm getting there.

The droids are pretty cool, Jester is a bit creepy at times, talking about killing me if I don't get better at my lightsaber skills. Yeah, took me a while to used to that, but he speaks that way to my master too, and it seems to be in a sparring sense, so I try to not let it creep me out.

R6 is more awesome, she has all these holograms, showing me places and objects from their dimension and even showed me a hologram map of the palace she has been working on. Twilight, you would be so excited to see that!

Anyway, I miss you all!

Your friend, always: Rainbow Dash

PS: Twilight, Applejack haven't responded to my letter, can you please see if she is okay? Your last letter was not very clear about what she was feeling...

Dear Applejack.

I know you must be mad at me, i'm sorry. I wish I could explain all of this to you, I wish I could show you what it meant to deal with all this. Of course, it does not mean it is easier for you or the others..

If you're angry and sad, that I can understand, but please don't hate me. I'm just doing what I think is right, I could be wrong you know? And then you can rub it in my face all you want.

I hope you're well and I hope you will write me back.

Your friend always: Rainbow Dash.

Hello everypony!

Thank you for your last letter, and thank you for the cupcakes you sent me too! They tasted really good, it made me realize how much I miss your baking Pinkie.

Anyway, I've begun to train more with my lightsaber, I've finally gotten the movements down, took me a while, but finally I can do them without thinking, well mostly. Sometimes he will trick me and I mess up, but I would be lying if I said it wasn't good training.

The hardest thing training with a lightsaber so far is to stand on my hind legs, I don't know how I managed, but finally I can stand and keep my balance on my hind legs for at least two hours! My master had even begun teaching me close combat, or self-defense as he calls it.

Thankfully he focus on what I can do, he plays to my strengths as a Pegasus and found ways along with Jester and R6 how I can move and fight so it wont put to much strain on my body. It's pretty awesome now that I've gotten used to it, mostly because I think I can kick some of the guard's flanks now, haha!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot! My master have shown me a new awesome card game! It's called Pazaak, I'll show it to you the next time we meet for sure.

Anyway, done with the first month, I miss you all, but I know you're doing okay and I hope we see each other again soon.

Your friend: Rainbow Danger Dash.

Hey guys!

First of all i'm really sorry for not having written anything for a month now. I can't tell you why, i'm not allowed to. I'm sorry if I worried you for a bit, I've read all your letters twice!

So let's me answer the question you have all been asking. YES, i'm okay, just out on a mission with my master. Our first mission! I'm super bummed out I can't tell you about it, it is not just my master who tells me, but Celestia too. It sucks, but I'm not gonna spill the beans. I can tell you though, you are gonna find out soon enough, and I think you are gonna love it when you hear it!

At any rate, my training is going well. I got my very own Jedi Robes, took me a while to get used to, but they are made to make sure my wings are not getting tangled and they are pretty comfy once you gotten used to the strange feeling.

The only thing I am missing is my lightsaber! My master only let me practice with a training saber, and he has started to put in small training balls in the air, they shoot at me! The idea is i'm going to deflect their small stun bolts or whatever it is they are shooting a me. I can tell you they hurt like buck!

Anyway, I'm glad you're still all doing fine, and look forward to your next letter!

Your friend: Rainbow Dash.

May the Force be with you.

Hey all.

Well almost three months, since we last saw one another. Sorry for taking so long to respond to you all, though I'm sure you understand why. Twilight, you don't have to write to the princess whenever I can't answer, but thank you for your concern.

I promise I have not forgotten about any of you guys, no way, you're all my friends!

A lot has happened and me and my master are sent on more missions, nothing to dangerous yet, but important. Sometimes It can be kind of boring, but it is kind of neat to see new places and meet new ponies.

At any rate, the most exciting news I have to share is, my master feels I am soon ready to build my very own lightsaber! He says it is an important part of my training and i'm really excited to get started!

"Rainbow." A voice said from behind Rainbow Dash. She looked up from the desk and turned to see her master, standing in the doorway to her room. "It's time, are you ready?"

"In a moment master, I just need to finish this letter to my friends." Rainbow replied, trying not to sound to eager.

Revan however had already noticed it and simply smiled. "Take your time young one." And with that, he left.

"Thank you, master." Rainbow smiled and turned back to the desk and continued writing.

I really wish you could all be here, but I know we will see each other again very soon. Don't ask me why I know that, it is still a secret, but let me tell you, you are gonna be surprised Twilight.

I look forward to see you all again, and like always, I miss you guys.

Your friend always: Rainbow Dash.

May the Force be with you.
