You've Got Mail...

Fifth Entry

Entry 5

Twi: pardon the grammar and spelling, I have a learning disability that messes with my body, and it doesn't do what my head tells it. I'm still learning to live with a lot of it. i get the idea behind Starswirl's "chow mein noodle" theory, though. and for pete's sake...take a break from the research every now and then! (this universe has a set of rules in it that kinda blocks a lot of stuff from happening unless it's from the other end, I think)

someone tell AJ I'm sorry, already. if they'd stop showing country gals as all flank and no brains, or trying to be Nightmare Moon and manipulate everybody to better her own situation over here, and make em normal mares for a change... I can't help it, ya ain't the only country pony around here, AJ! my tongue's kinda blunt.

Madame Rarity, I also apologise to you. we have seen your parents before they went on vacation, and believe I saw some frustration, there (and, no, madame, there are some things we do NOT observe. there are a few gentlcolts around even here in the country, and i can be...discreet)

Scoot, I guessed! everything we've seen so far says it! you HAVE a family, though, they're sitting right beside you! (AB, Sweeitie, would you apologize to your sisters for me, please?)
PS: you'll fly someday, just keep believing.

Luna, thou art incredibly sexy (and tell thy sister to keep an eye on her faithful student when she has time. I am quite concerned that twilight shall take things too far again in her research)

yes, Twi, I'm worried about you. we have small windows into Equestria available to us in this particular universe I write from.

PS: spike, I just watched you deal with a bunch of teenage dragons. reminded me of my time at that age. love to see you fly someday, too.

Dear Chocolate Flash,

Spike here. Twilight isn't at all pleased with you right now. I don't know what you wrote on this time, but when it arrived... you know those posters that people glue onto walls? It was sort of like that, only instead of on one of the walls it appeared on Twilight's right flank. She was rather annoyed by this but took the mature and sensible approach to the problem and merely decided that it wasn't intention and thus she should bare no ill will against you. At least, that was what she was willing to do right up until she removed the damn thing...

Having hung out with Rarity a lot, I often overhear her conversations. One of those conversations was about waxing. Apparently she waxes her eyebrows every now and then during her spa treatments. Normally I wouldn't remember anything spa related (I don't need to know how the system works if it produces a beautiful mare like Rarity) but I recall this one because it made me thankful I was a dragon and therefore didn't have hair. When waxing, always do with the hair, never against it. Waxing against the hair was simply incredibly painful and was a rookie mistake that most mares only made once.

Twilight didn't know about this rule. Currently, she is researching inter-dimensional travel for the sole intention of achieving vengeance by hunting you down. Exactly what she plans to do once she locates you is unclear, but I foresee a lecture in your future. Rarity was kind enough to make Twilight a dress long enough to cover the large rectangular bald patch on her right flank. I suspect she will be wearing it for a long time, since despite the pain it caused her the bald spot is kind of funny.

...How exactly did you see watch me make contact with a bunch of teenage dragons? Oh sweet Celestia am I going to have to follow Rarity's lead and tear about the Library piece by piece?!After Rarity got the part of your letter involving her, he employed Pinkie's help to tear her home apart in search of hidden cameras. She's currently missing some walls and I don't think she has slept in two days.

But for now I guess I should thank you for the kind words. I look forwards to the day when my wings will come in. It would just be so cool to be able to zoom around in the skies like Rainbow Dash. Plus, it would mark my triumph over ladders once and for all! They may be beating me in the scoreboards now, but once those bad boys start growing, WATCH OUT!

Sorry, I sort of got a little carried away there. Ladders are still the best way for small earth bound creatures to reach high places... for now.

Anyway, I've managed to collect the replies of all the other ponies you wanted to send messages to. Applejack didn't wish to write down a response since she was kind of busy and I'm willing to quote her saying something along the lines of “Just what in the name of Luna is this fool talking about now?” (Please don't ask me to write this with her accent. After all the years of training to be a scribe for Twilight and more or less having book after book of grammar shoved down my throat, writing in Applejack's accent is like nails on a blackboard to me.)

She was able to figure out that you were basically trying to say sorry. She has accepted the apology, but she is still a little sore over the whole thing so don't expect any replies from her in the near future. On the plus side, once Twilight figures out how to transport between dimensions Applejack won't be coming to buck your head in...for now anyway. Silver linings and all that.

…......................................................................

Dear Mr Flash,

...I'm almost afraid to ask, but why is a grown stallion spying on a group of fillies? For some reason I find the idea really unnerving...

I spoke to my older sister Rarity about it and she got really mad at the walls of her house for some reason. Her and Pinkie Pie started to attack them with crowbars, screaming something about 'Hidden Camera's ' or something like that. We didn't really understand what she was talking about so Applebloom's currently gone back home to ask her older sister about it.

You know what? You're right. They say you can't choose your family, but in this case my family choose me. If I didn't have Sweetie Bella and Applebloom in my life I... I honestly don't know where I would have ended up. But I doubt I would be as happy as I am now...

And one day I will start flying! When that day comes I will fly beside Rainbow Dash and it will be one of the most Awesome days of my life! I promise this in the name of the Cutie Mark Crusaders!

Best wishes, The Cutie Mark Crusaders.

To thou most humble of servants,

We...I... I don't know how to respond to thy words.

I have heard of poets and artists crafting masterpieces for both the ears and eyes that were inspired by a single night, a stray and wondering glance into the night sky above them. While we am still not used to the praise that our creations have long been overdue for, we have never been complimented like this before. Complimented by a member of a different species and a whole different world at that...

This...This will take us time to figure out. I might just go and visit Twilight and check up on her in the meantime. She sent a letter to my sister earlier with a request for a number of books from the royal library in order to 'Obtain Satisfaction'. I offered to take the books to Ponyville myself. After all, after everything that Twilight has done for me, helping her in her time of need would be my pleasure. I think I can honestly say that I would be more than willing to do just about anything she asked of me...

We are sorry to cut this short, but we must be off. Those books aren't going to transport themselves after all.

Princess of the Moon and Night, Luna.

….........................................................................

Well....

Having read the notes from the others, I have to admit that your odds are slim. Chances are that by now the 'truce' between you and Applejack is no more and it would seem that if Twilight play's her cards right she would be able to convince Princess Luna to aid her on the quest to hunt you down.

I would offer you some words of advice, but it would appear that I have to get things ready for a royal visitor.

Goodbye and Good luck. You're going to need it.

Signed, Spike.


AN: Just trying something a little new.

When it comes to the Cutie Mark Crusaders:

Sweetie Bella's words will be in purple

Scootaloo's words will be in orange

Applebloom's words will be in red

Just to help avoid confusion.
