Dear Journal,
The running of the leaves was pretty cool Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, and the others did their part to help with bringing down the leaves so the winter season could come in. I’m looking forward to the snow! All the canceled school days, snowball fights, and not to mention awesome hot chocolate from SugarCube Corner! They make the best hot chocolate after you've been in the snow for so long!
Twilight Sparkle became an alicorn! I never thought you could do that. I think I heard one of her friends used the word “ascended” or something, I have no idea how you’d ‘ascend’ to be an alicorn but still it’s pretty cool. I don’t know of any other pony that could have done that. Twilight also promised me she’d personally see to the matter of my dad that was taken away a while ago and it would be dealt with quickly. I guess she dealt with it because I've not heard anything from him and my mother came back. The sad thing is she’s being summoned to Canterlot to appear before the Princesses after literally just coming back from wherever only a few days ago. Yeah I mean them, Celestia and Luna too.
I like Princess Luna a lot. She often comes in my dreams when I’m having a nightmare and soothes me and saying that she understands what I’m going through. I’m not sure what happened in her past and I don’t understand how she became Nightmare Moon but I’m guessing she went through something similar with her family. Princess Celestia I like too she keeps everything running and is really wise. Both princesses seem to want to be close with their subjects but because of something or other they are not. I don’t understand stuff like that and I have a feeling I don’t want to. Speaking of getting close…
Feather Weight keeps getting all blushy and shy around me and he used not to be. I told Sweetie Belle and AppleBloom about it and they just started giggling like mad.
“Scootaloo’s got a boyfriend!” they started chanting. It’s not even true! I don’t like him!!! At least not like THAT! Ugh! He’s too…. uhm…. HE’S GOT COOTIES! I don’t wanna get infected with… whatever he’s got! It looks and makes you act dumb when you’re like ‘oh I love you blah blah blah’! I've seen some of my classmates do that sort of thing and then kiss… ew! I want to find my cutie mark, not play house! I’ll leave the girly stuff to Sweetie Belle, it’s not me.
I’m still staying with Rainbow Dash and it’s been great! Weave really bonded! She’s the big sister I've never had and it’s so awesome! I also will admit she’s gotten me into Daring Do A LITTLE BIT! Rainbow’s currently been obsessing over the latest book that has yet to be out. She and her friends also said something about going to find her? I don’t know what that’s all about but the Cutie Mark Crusaders and I are having a sleepover at Sweetie’s parents’ house because of it. Not like we all mind because we can do whatever we want anyways; they are too busy staring into their eyes and making weird noises from their bedroom. It kinda scares me because it sounds like the fighting my parents did with all the screaming, but not at the same time. Sweetie says it’s normal and not to worry about it… but I don’t know.
Speaking of things I’m not happy about… school is one of them. Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara got wind of the stuff that’s been going on with my family (probably due to their parents having a buck load of money and a huge mouth too boot). They have been picking on me A LOT because I can’t fly right now and they overheard my friends and it talking about hopefully representing Ponyville in the Equestria Games. They are saying that because I’m not able to fly, I’m not a true Pegasus and I fail. I’m not worthy of representing Ponyville. None of us are because we’re losers, blank flanks, and whatever else they said. I blocked them out after a while. I KNOW I can’t fly! It’s not my fault I mean I try learning but I keep eating mud. Rainbow Dash has given me a few pointers and also said that maybe I’m not growing into my wings yet. Whatever the case is… I have known I can’t fly my whole life and everyone’s pretty okay with it. No one really feels sorry for me or even treats me differently; it’s just those two dumb diamond dog brains. I know I shouldn't listen to them and that they are just trying to be mean and hurtful, but it’s hard to really tune them out most of the time.
I may act big and tough but sometimes… I just want someone to hug me and just hold me while I cry. I don’t really let anyone see me cry. No I take that back Rainbow Dash has started to pick up on when I’m feeling down about myself. She just smiles at me and just goes “Who do I need to go and ‘talk to them’?” I always smile and hug her. She’s great and everyone’s great. My life’s getting better and stuff.
Sometimes I just wish that my real family could have been better and the fact I could fly would be so awesome. I could take my friends on my back and show them the clouds! Speaking of clouds, it’s starting to get grey around here. Oh darn it! I forgot they said it was going to rain and I’m sitting out here under a tree writing this! I better get inside before I get soaking wet and muddy…. On second thought I think a mud fight would be pretty cool. I get to hear Sweetie complain about being dirty and her mane getting TOO dirty. She says she doesn't mind getting dirty but I swear sometimes Sweetie Belle is like her sister when it comes to being clean though not AS BAD.
