Dear Princess Celestia,

After the fire at town hall, I felt the need to do a little investigating. Several ponies were involved, so I asked each of them to give me their version of what happened that day. You won’t believe the stories they gave me, strange tales about break-ins and blackmail and a mysterious box that almost destroyed Equestria—well, three-quarters of it.

I’ve asked Spike to send you those tales along with this letter.

I know there’s a lesson to be learned here somewhere, but I’m not sure what it is.

Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle
