We went to Reconciliation Park today. I got to see the fountain. It was very big and very pretty. It's really tall and there's a statue of the Princesses on top and they look really cool. I wish I could meet the Princesses. When I grow up, I'm going to study really hard at the Royal Academy, and I'll become an important scientist and then I'll get to work for the Princesses and make Mum and Dad and Shining really proud.

Shining wasn't at the park today. Mum said he'd be back yesterday, but he didn't arrive. We got a letter instead. Mum and Dad looked really sad. They looked sad today too. They still haven't told me when Shining will get home, but they say they will tell me soon. They said we can go to the park again when he comes back. I want to go to the Spire with him. I've never been there, they don't let small ponies walk in on their own. I bet he would like it too. I hope he'll be home soon.
