Dear Scootaloo,

I'm sorry for when I bullied you when we were younger. I always though you were brave and pretty cool. You never gave up and you were determined to be the best pony you could be. Even in that dorky show you put on for the talent show when we were fillies, you had this... air of confidence. I wish I were as confident in who I was when I was a filly. When your Cutie Mark came in, I wasn't surprised to see it was a scooter zooming on fire. It suits your personality greatly.
I know you are planning to join the Wonderbolts after graduation. I think they already have one of the best flyers in Equestria. Now they need you and they will be the very best. You are a great flyer! And you already have a great reputation since Rainbow Dash recommended you and because of your closeness to all of the Elements. But your skills alone will make you a shoo-in for their team!
You were so... wary around me when I first apologized for my behavior. Do you remember how you used to swear up and down it was a new tactic to get close and then just hurt you? Or that I drank a potion of Zecora's and it made my personality change? I was so upset you didn't believe me but looking back I know why. I just wanted to thank you for finally giving me the chance and becoming such a great friend to me. I truly don't know what I could have done had you not finally accepted me for who I was and allowed me to join in your group of friends.
You better train up for the Wonderbolts, cause if I don't see your name in the papers over the next few years, I will personally hunt you down and kick your not-so-blank flank from here to Timbucktoo! (Joking, but I know you can do it!)

Best of luck in all you do,

Diamond Tiara
