Mom and Dad,
I didn’t realize how much I missed you guys until I read your letter. It’s so great to hear from you. You don’t need to worry that much, though – we’re fine. I got paired with Sweetie and Apple Bloom, even! We’re all doing OK and they say ‘hi.’
Things don’t get too hot out here – most of the action happens farther down the line. A lot of the time nothing happens at all. I even found time to get my cutie mark! It’s a little box having to do with new technology and stuff and I can’t wait to show you! I hope you’re doing OK and aren’t worrying too much – I’ve given dad enough grey hairs already.
We finally know who we’re fighting, too. Some ponies up the line captured one of them and got them to talk. He said that he belonged to a ‘union’ that is trying to take control of the sun and moon. They think the princesses are evil and that we’re all ‘impure’ because we allow them to have dominion over the sun and moon or something crazy like that. He spoke a strange language, but it’s similar to Equestrian and we were able to get the gist of it.
I’m sure the newspaper makes it all out to be really awful – and it is – but not where I’m at. If we did get into a bad fight we have the Wonderbolts on our side, anyway. I’ll be careful, though. I promise. I’m not sure when I can read your next letter, so don’t get anxious or anything if I don’t reply right away. Say hi to everyone in Ponyville for me! I love you both so much and can’t wait to see you again.
Your daughter,
Scootaloo
