Dear Princess Twilight,
You came to visit Canterlot this week and me, being the studious pony I am, ignored you at first. When I saw that you had come to visit me at my home, I didn’t know what to do at first. I thought you would have stayed out of my life forever since the party incident, but there you were with Minutte, Lemon Hearts, and Twinkleshine standing upon my doorstep. I was bitter towards all of you, that much was obvious. The first time I put myself out there to the idea of making friends and one of them doesn’t show to the only party I ever throw? I thought it was the end of my friend making days after that.
Although, it wasn’t. I made friends that I didn’t even realize I made, like the librarian and the bookseller. Everyday I had spent chatting to them I never considered that friendship, but we appreciate each other and, I guess, that’s one of the things friendship is about.
However, I realize now how much my other friends tried to make that party mean everything all for me. They tried to get me to laugh, play games, open presents, eat tons of cake, but all I focused on was the fact that you were missing. I hurt them too, I didn’t appreciate my party even though they had worked so hard to help me with it. I’m going to make it up to them this week when we go visit Ponyville tomorrow, somehow. We’re going to visit Lyra and maybe make some new friends too.
I’m going to drop by your castle (Minutte says you live in a castle? I didn’t think Ponyville was big enough for one based off the maps I've studied, but she assures me that you do.) with the our friends and drop off some goodies that were making (Lemon Hearts is handling those mostly because I am a terrible cook). I hope you like lemon bars!
Make sure to tell Spike that the picture he gave me is hanging above my study desk and that I really appreciate it. We’re going to have to take another one tomorrow all together, huh? Maybe we can even start on a photo album!
Well, I’m done for the night, off to the Post office as soon as I find stamps, somewhere….
Oh, right! I need a lesson for today don’t I? Hm, okay, got it.
Today I learned that even though old friendships may seem distant and forgotten, rekindling those friendships can be just as enjoyable as making new friends.
Your studious student,
Moondancer
P.S. You still need to teach me Haycart’s methods.
