//------------------------------// // 18th, Six Months and Three Weeks After Death // Story: Letters From the Path of Loss // by Tavi n Scratch //------------------------------// Dearest Dash, I thought it might help me if I wrote you a letter about the mundane, just avoiding my current situation, my loss of mental focus and grip on memories. It’s applebuck season again; we’re all going out in a couple days to help Applejack and Big Macintosh. I’m glad she’s willing to accept help now, I mean two stubborn years in a row, it was comical but also a bit saddening. But this year she’s finally relinquished, and I’m glad the rest of us will be able to help. Rarity’s clothing line was selected by some new upcoming fashionista, somepony named Silver Screen, and Rarity is ecstatic. Silver Screen has a big fashion show up in Canterlot and she invited Rarity to be the main designer. She was just so excited, it was hilarious to the rest of us. We’re all happy for her and hope she does well. She’s leaving next week. Rainbow Dash is the same as usual, but it feels like it’s been awhile since I last saw her, I wonder where she is. Well, wherever she is I’m sure she’s having fun, that’s what she does. Pinkie’s been running the bakery more and more often, the cakes say that they’re preparing her for when they retire. It’s funny, you’d never think Pinkie to be responsible enough to run her own bakery, but she’s actually doing a great job. Also, she’s teaching the Cakes’ babies to talk; it really is adorable. Fluttershy isn’t really up to much, she just takes care of her animals. I actually haven’t seen her lately, but last I saw she seemed very sad, I think she misses Rainbow, much like myself. I’m sure that when Rainbow gets back Fluttershy will perk up again. As for me, I’m doing just fine, even if I am a bit lonely. Sincerely, Twilight
