Nothing changed in Canterlot in all this time I was absent.
The same busy streets, the high class habitants, and the soldiers patrolling here and there, not for nothing it's called the Capital of Equestria.
My old home didn't change either, so much memories woke up in me when I entered it, now empty.
"Home sweet home." I mumbled.
My brother entered right behind me, and directed himself quickly to the room.
"I'm tired as hell, I'm going to rest a little." he said.
"Sure, I'll call you for lunch."
The main room was wide, a television stood right next to the door, an old green sofa in front of it. The kitchen was a little beyond the sofa, and going to the side a bit further to the left.
I shared my room with my brother, at the right, shaping the house in an irregular "T" manner. My parents room was at the back, along with the bathroom.
I left my suitcases and bags at which was my bed half a year ago, and went back to the living room, and sat on the sofa.
I closed my eyes, and started to think everything that happened. I opened them again and looked at the hearth at my right. On it's edges rested several framed photos of our family. Where we were still four.
I never mentioned my mother didn't I? Well, maybe because she left our family at an early age, she had a disease, I didn't know which, but I never dared to ask either.
Her name was Lavender. She had a talent for being a housewife, but that wasn't what her cutie mark represented. In fact, I don't even remember what her talent was, maybe I forgot because I'd feel sad of what I could have shared, but didn't, if I did.
Suddenly a large bird knocked on a window from the kitchen. I went to it and opened it to let the bird in.
"Hey buddy, what's going on?" I asked playfully.
He showed me two letters he was carrying on his claws.
"Those are for me?" I asked, and he nodded, so I proceed to get the letters from him.
I opened the first one:
------------------------------------------------
Dear Flare:
It's me Fluttershy, how was your arrival at Canterlot? Everything alright?
I'm sorry for not waiting a bit more time, but I couldn't stop thinking of writing to you, I already miss you.
------------------------------------------------
"Me too Flutters, me too." I snickered, and kept reading.
------------------------------------------------
I wanted to thank you again for the date we had before you left, it was really sweet of you.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, remember you told me that you like to stargaze? Well, I told my friend Twilight (she loves to do that too) and she wants to spend some time with you.
I can't explain it well myself, but I'm sure she'll write you a letter about that, she has to go to Canterlot to take care of some things anyway so...
I hope you reply soon.
Fluttershy
------------------------------------------------
"I'm sure my kind of stargazing is a bit different from hers." I thought.
I went to the other letter, and read it:
------------------------------------------------
Dear Flaring:
I'm Twilight, how are you doing? I hope you're doing fine.
I have to ask, do you like stargazing? Fluttershy just told me and I wanted to make sure. You see, I love stargazing, the night is something I love to watch, and investigate every now and then.
I'm actually coming to Canterlot in a few days because Celestia requested my presence, and I thought that while I'm there, you'd like to spend some time looking at the night sky and learn about it a little. What do you think?
Whenever you send a reply, send it with Owlowiscious.
------------------------------------------------
I looked at the bird closely:
"I suppose you are Owlowiscious." I assumed.
"Who?" he responded
"Who? You, Owlowiscious, are you?"
"Who."
"Are you him or not?"
"Who."
"I'm asking YOU! Oh whatever." I turned back to the letter.
------------------------------------------------
I'll see you later, or not, depending on what you wish to do.
Yours truly:
Twilight Sparkle.
PS: Don't try to talk with Owlowiscious, you'll just be in a loop of "who" (since he is an owl, he can't say anything else). He likes to joke with that, it happened to Spike.
------------------------------------------------
"I feel like an idiot." I said.
"Who." Owlowiscious said.
"Me, oh wait."
I facehoofed.
I wrote the replies to both the girls, I wrote to Fluttershy that I was doing fine, my arrival was okay. And to Twilight that I liked the idea, and that we'll arrange later the time for doing stargazing.
I had something to keep my head occupied, spending time with a friend could help me out.
