Letters from an Evil Empress

The Cutie Probs

Dear Apple Bloom,

I gotta say...this newest one really takes the cake. The Cutie Pox rearing its ugly head again? That stupid thing hasn't been back, since paleo-pony era. You must really be either a naive dreamer, or a very good potion master, to get the result you wanted. Which, let me hazard a guess...

You let loose this potentially infectious disease out upon Ponyville, because you got incredibly, remarkably impatient with the fact that your cutie mark exploits weren't baring fruit. Have I hit the nail on the head? I mean, I definitely feel like I hit the nail on the head.

You can't just use Zecora and her stash of ingredients as a way of rapidly increasing the pace at which you get your cutie mark, Apple Bloom. Various descriptions of Cutie Pox do not make it sound like an enviable status ailment, but, I guess you must not have even known much about it, huh?

Well, I just hope you've learned your lesson, even though you're probably just going back to trying to find ways to get your cutie mark as quickly as possible. Me? Well, Eclipse has been teething a loooootttttt lately, and, her teeth have grown a little, which makes it kind of difficult for me and Nightmare. Thankfully, though, Shining is still her favorite to tooth on.

So, just be a good girl, and, don't try too many potion tricks like that again, alright?

...Though, I honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if there's an alternate universe out there, where all sorts of shenanigans get resolved with potion making, and, there's some potion maker best friend, who isn't Zecora.

Anyway,

Hoping that you keep it real with the Cutie Mark finding,

Empress Daybreaker

So, Nighty, don't tell me, she's still at it...

For real? I'm getting fed up with this. She doesn't do it to Cadance at all.

...Natural Charisma toward babies, is what I'm guessing? She is pretty good with kids.

Maybe she likes her just a little bit better than us, but, I'm sure thats not her intent. She's a baby, remember? A baby you created?

SHHHHH! I keep telling you, don't be creepy! It makes her our baby sister, if anything.
