4,254 years BNM (before Nightmare Moon)

Dear diary,

Mother and Father say that we are on the precipice of war.  Their diplomatic talks with the Appaloosans failed.  They are trying to hide the truth from Lulu because they want to protect her, but they have already told me what to do if the Appaloosans storm the castle.  Father has kept Lulu busy with moon-raising lessons. I’m scared. Everypony is acting so strange.  Mother and Father keep telling us how much they love us, and that we will be all right.  Mother sang me a song last night.  They’re going to leave soon. I have to go and say goodbye now. Talk to you later, diary.
