Letters to a Pony

by Resurgent Wanderer


I got my Cutie Mark!

Twilight was going out on a limb, especially since she had no idea what the report would be on. Nevertheless Twilight had gathered the CMC, Spike, and the girls together for the opening of her next Friendship Report.

"C'mon Twi, hurry up and open you eggheads unite letter!" Rainbow jibed, but Twilight ignored her as she slowly opened the letter and removed the contents within. With an almost reverent feel to it, the mare unfolded the letter and set an auditory spell that would read the spell off for them.

~^~^~Dear Twilight Sparkle,~^~^~

Fun fact. Where I come from, cutie marks don't exist. Nope, nothing that marks your one special talent. That's okay though. Just because we don't get marks on our butts doesn't mean we don't have talent. Hope the CMC hear that actually-

"What, you mean ponies can be good at things without having it be their cutie mark?!" Scootaloo gasped.

Twilight just smiled and nodded.
"My talent is magic, but I'm a great librarian, Pinkie is a baker, Rarity is a fashionista, Applejack is good at farming, Fluttershy is an amazing medic, and Rainbow can't be topped when it comes to speed reading."


-, but moving on, I recently had a realization. If I had a cutie mark, it would be a pony offering a helping hoof to another. Now I don't say I'm the best at helping ponies, but I find so much joy in it and I have done it so many time that at this point it is something I wouldn't mind pursuing for a career.

Anyway, that's all I really wanted to say in this one, just that I got my cutie mark. Nothing else is really happening.

~^~^~Your Faithful Student,
Filly Angel~^~^~

The girls all stared wide eyed. Sure everypony got their cutiemarks, but it was rare to explain its origin outside of friends and family yet here this student was, laying it all out.

"My Twilight, your student must really trust you to tell you that without knowing you in pony." Rarity gawked as the others nodded.

Twilight blushed slightly at the attention, but felt pride build up inside of her. Nothing could ruin the moment.




"Hey girls, this means we don't have to have one talent! Cutie Mark Crusaders 'Learn all the talents'!" Scootaloo cheered.

Except maybe that.
