//------------------------------// // Bonus Chapter: Princess Twilight Buys Trotter // Story: Letters From A Disgruntled Friendship Student // by milesprower06 //------------------------------// THE FOAL FREE PRESS PRINCESS TWILIGHT BUYS TROTTER News broke today that Princess Twilight Sparkle has purchased Ponyville's largest newspaper, the Daily Trotter, for what she claims is "a flank-load of bits". Frequently critical of the Princess' mannerisms and controversies throughout town, the Daily Trotter has been a staple of local journalism for years, and many are wondering if this buyout will inevitably be the publication's death knell. "You all have until Thursday to opt-in to Trotter 2.0. Free speech and news to the hardcore extreme," Twilight said in a meeting of gathered Trotter reporters earlier this week. The Foal Free Press has had Featherweight staked out in the bushes next to their offices; at last check-in, about 75% of the reporters have walked out. If this is any indication of how fast Princess Twilight can tank a company, we at the Foal Free Press can only hope she buys Ticketmare next.
