//------------------------------// // Somepony To Watch Over Me // Story: Responses To A Disgruntled Friendship Student // by keaton-furman-prower //------------------------------// Dear Applesauce: First off, let me just say I'm glad that you have such a great family! An older sister should always do sisterly things for her younger siblings, such as protecting them obsessively, and banishing them to some desolate wasteland. Yep, she's a great sister. And your brother's pretty nice too, given that he likes to leave his favorite toy with you. Oh yeah, and he also gave you Smarty Pants. Just don't let Twilight find out, or else who knows what she'll do (hint: I do!) But enough about that. You also have some really nice friends. They really are loyal to you, given how they decided to take your miserable place while you went off on your mission through hell. Of course, some may wonder why they didn't accompany you on your delivery. Not to mention it would have given you somepony to sacrifice to the chimera when it came up, although you probably couldn't have known about it. Of course, I must admit I'm somewhat disappointed by Applejack's decision to trust you to stay home alone. After all, what will happen if pony thieves try to break in? Is she going to trust you to find clever ways to make them suffer for trying to steal other pony's stuff? I never sat around waiting for my sister to be attacked! I sent her off to the safety of the moon! Oh well, I suppose every family has their own way of dealing with family issues. I have a feeling that yours have a lot to do with the bed. Forever admiring everypony's family, Princess Celestia. Dear Apple Bloom: I feel your pain. I know what it's like to have a bitchy older sister. When I was just a few hundred years older than you are now, I got angry at her for being a constant glory-hog; she took my fame, my fans, my subjects and she even tried to take control of my nights! So I told her to share at least some of her things with me. As you no doubt know, she gave me a 1000-year time-out on the moon. Your eternally-overshadowed co-ruler, Princess Luna.
