I was eating cereal this morning when my dad turned on the radio. The newspony was talking about how some of the nobles were thinking about bringing Celestia back, but I don't think that's going to happen. I learned in school that Celestia and Luna retired, so why would they want to come back? They don't want to be in charge anymore, right?

There's also talks that Starlight might not completely know what she's doing. Even when we went grocery shopping earlier today, at the market I heard some ponies talking about how it's possible that other countries might try and take advantage of Equestria since it doesn't have an alicorn in charge anymore. All this talk about alicorns and power and how Starlight Glimmer can't be as good as Twilight! Why can't anypony give Starlight a chance for once? Is it because they still think she's evil because of that one thing she did all those years ago? I know it was bad and all, but she really doesn't like to talk about it because she said it was one of her biggest regrets once when she visited my school, and she also said that she's trying her best every day to put that behind her and to be the kind of pony that everyone can look up to!

Ugh... sorry if I wrote a lot about Starlight this time. Seeing that ponies don't want to give her the chance she deserves is just mean! Like, can't they see how well she and Twilight worked together all this time? Starlight even said that she uses a special spell to keep herself alive for longer, so that she can still help Twilight and be her friend. I would say that that's a really good sign of being a friend, if you are doing everything you can to stick by someone's side no matter what. Yeah, she's a lot more sleepy than Twilight ever was because of that spell she uses, but she's trying!

One of the things Twilight said she wanted was for us to rule over ourselves, so that we wouldn't need to have a pony that needs to live forever just to stay together as a country! That means that the nobles that are complaining that Starlight shouldn't be in charge can just choose who they want to have leading the country soon, so why can't they just wait a little bit longer? Mom and Dad always say that it's good to be patient and wait my turn. Maybe they should teach that to the snooty nobles too.

I know I sound like I really don't like the nobles here in Canterlot, but I'm not mad at all of them. Just the ones that are complaining all the time and stuff. Mr. Fancypants' family is really nice, for example, and every year they host the end-of-school parties! There's a lot of food and snacks, and they even bring things like slides and bouncy-castles, too! Though, I heard that this year it's going to be a trampoline instead because some unicorns popped the castle last year on accident. But anyway, I'm looking forward to this year's party! Whirlwind said that he might even have his dad help him make a real version of his flying machine toy that we could maybe sit in and pretend to fly in! It's coming up in a couple of weeks, so hopefully nopony is going to be worried anymore by then.

Anyways, I think that's all that I'm going to write tonight. I wonder what Twilight wants to do since she isn't in charge anymore?
