//------------------------------// // chapter 5 letter for the princess // Story: Alektorophobia // by discordian2121 //------------------------------// Celestia and Fluttershy finish taking care of the animals and as they say their goodbyes, Fluttershy comes up with an idea. "wait.!" Fluttershy says a little loudly as Celestia stops in her tracks near the exit of Fluttershy,s cottage and turns around to look at Fluttershy. "hmm, what is it.?" "I was just thinking you know how you told us when we learn something about friendship to write to you."? Celestia nods. "yes.?" "Well, what if I write a letter to you about the lesson you learned.? that way you can keep it, and look at it to remember what we talked about and whenever you feel scared you can read it". Celestia smiles at Fluttershy. "I think that is a wonderful idea" a White glow then surrounds Celestia,s horn as she uses her magic to make a Quill, and a blank paper scroll appear in front of her. "ready when you are". Fluttershy looks confused. "oh, you are going to write the letter"? Celestia shrugs with a smile on her face. "why not. I get so many of these but I've never actually written one myself. you just say the words, and I will write down what you say ok.?" Fluttershy nods. "ok." Celestia nods. "ready."? Fluttershy nods. "ready. Dear Princess Celestia, today a friend of mine learned that just because a certain fear may seem small, or doesn't make sense to somepony else that doesn't mean that the fear is small to the pony who is afraid. and no pony should ever judge another pony for being afraid of something. everypony deals with fears and no pony should treat anyponys fear as being insignificant. my friend also learned that even when it doesn't seem possible to overcome your fears, your friends can show you that's just not true and that a good friend will always be there for you when you need them. Your friend Fluttershy". As Fluttershy finish,s speaking Celestia finish,s writing, and Celestia look,s at Fluttershy with a warm smile on her face. "I think that is an excellent letter Fluttershy. as well as a great lesson to be learned From all of this. thank you." Fluttershy smiles. "My pleasure." "You know I think I am going to have to find more time in my busy schedule to spend time with the citizens of Equestria. I bet there are even more valuable lessons,s to be learned from them." Fluttershy shrugs with a smile. "what can I say ponies can surprise you." Celestia nods. "that's what I am excited about. Thank you for listening to what I had to say Fluttershy. as well as for the tea, and helping me take care of your little friend,s. I had a wonderful time." "Me too." Celestia nudges Fluttershy. "We will have to do this again sometime". Fluttershy nods. "that would be lovely." "Goodbye, Fluttershy have a pleasant rest of your day". "you to Celestia." Celestia Waves a hoof at Fluttershy as she steps out of Fluttershy,s cottage. Fluttershy waves back as Celestia close,s the cottage door. once the door closes, Celestia lifts her head to the sky and smiles as she spreads her wings and takes off for canterlot.
