To Rainbow Dash,

Hope the tour is going OK! I heard you’re performing in Las Pegasus this week. Sure hope I got the right address!

I’m just writing to tell you that I got in! I’m now officially a cadet in the Equestrian Airforce! I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am. Well, not on paper anyway. But if you saw me now I’d probably be jumping up and down in excitement! As it is, I’m staying at the barracks because of training and all that, so I’ll put the address down in case you get time to reply.

Training is pretty hard. Just today to “ease us in”, we had to do 20 laps of the grounds under a certain time. Of course, I aced it, but that’s because I had the Number One Flyer in Equestria training me!

I guess while I’m at it, I can thank you as well. Much like my excitement, I can’t really tell you in words how much them long days in you helping me fly really meant. I mean, you’d be there just in case I fell and hurt myself. You were more patient than anypony else (even though I probably bugged you as well!), and it…well…means a lot. Nopony else really tried to help me to fly (even though my friends were there as well, they can’t fly), but you did.

You stuck with me through all the times I fell, both from the sky and into sadness, when everypony else made fun of my tiny wings, and would laugh at me because I couldn’t fly back then. You also showed me what it was like to soar, even before I could fly, and you gave me a reason to do my best to fly. Because I wanted to please you, and because I wanted to do cool tricks like you. Well, not as cool as you, but still.

So, for all the times you were there for me, and all you have done, thanks. I hope to see you again soon, so we can chat. As soon as I got a few days off, I’ll try and come see one of your shows!

Your Number One Fan

P.S. 

HOW COULD I FORGET?!

I got my Cutie Mark when I enrolled! It’s two of them arrow things that officers in the military wear. I forgot the name of them.
