Dearest friends,

Another week gone and past! I suppose YOU KNOW HOW TO READ THIS BY NOW? Twilight sure is a great teacher! 

I have decided to take on an apprentice. I thought of this long before moving to Canterlot, so I hope that I can have many apprentices over the years! I sure hope that this apprentice will be as helpful as Spike was! Oh, the little rascal, how is he? After I told him I knew about his crush, well he simply died! Poor little dragon. He was always the cutest in our group of friends! The Princesses hired me to work on a new fashion line. The parkas will have to wait, unfortunately. I began just yesterday. I simply had to comment on the princesses for their ruling over Equestria though. Such great monarchs! It seems like just yesterday I was meeting them for the first time. A new bouquet of roses had to be delivered to their doorstep, just to show them how new kindness can be spread each day! After all these years, I still can't get the rush of conquering evil with the elements out of my system! Can you imagine Celestia and Luna harnessing three of those things at a time? Power rush! I love the smell of a single rose. More than two at a time is simply too much, darling, too much! To smell a dozen, oh my! The power of that fragrance would be overwhelming! I also met a stallion. He was named Fancy Pants, as I'm sure you heard of him. Imagine if his name were to be Elixtracate! Why, what a mouthful, darlings, what a mouthful! Fancy Pant's sister was a great cook. He is lucky to be related to that Fleur De Lis! Was a  stallion ever so happy? I think not! Fleur de Lis was good at this one drink mix. She could make a Manehatten and a Martini plus everything between the two! I wonder if Discord, Chrysalis, and Sombra ever had service like this! I wouldn't think so. Fancy Pants was such a gentleman. He offered to take me around the lake! But of course I said yes. He was only the most well-known pony in Canterlot! Besides me, of course. The lake was the most beautiful in Equestrian history, I'd imagine! Though those sharp rocks at the bottom looked quite dangerous. After I went back to my room in the castle (which was no longer up for rent, of course), I noticed a little creature sitting with Opal. After all, she was the most beautiful she-cat in the history of Canterlot! The creature with her was a tom cat she found on the streets. He was simply a crime! I had to take him to the pet parlor. Afterwards, the cat looked like something amazing! That Opal was so smitten! I think I hear the paw steps of little kittens on the way! Everyone will want one of them! Opal would have wanted it, I'm sure. And I won't soon forget! 

Then the princesses invited me to their dining hall for a dinner party! I was so excited! I did my mane, I had an extra shipment of hoof polish, and I got to the dining hall as soon as possible! Which was of course three hours. And the other dinner guests looked like something incredible! Though I was still the prettiest. Who would think otherwise? The dinner was delicious! All of the guests had brought something for dessert or appetizers, and I felt terrible that I didn't make anything! I went back to my castle room as soon as the party was over. I cannot believe I was so foolish as not to make something to bring! To tell them sorry a million times would not cut it for the princesses. So I decided to make them dresses. Even you would love those dresses, Applejack! What the princesses will say about these beauties will earn me a spot next to the princesses themselves! They will appoint me the royal dress designer, and they will be glad that they did! Maybe they will even give me a crown of my own. Oh, but I'm just daydreaming, now aren't I? Oh well. I'll just have to tell you all about it when I visit! In time, darlings, in time. I'm still quite busy here in Canterlot! The next time I see you will have to be during one of the slower seasons. Don't forget to write a letter back! And don't forget to REWRITE those BOLD mail service ponies. They deserve some thankful LETTERS too!

Ciao!
