Dear Princess Luna,
Miss Cherilee has started teaching us about the Elements of Harmony! My mother once told be about them, how they defended Equestria from Changelings, an evil Draconiquis (is that how you spell it? I don't know), an evil unicorn tyrant overlord, and a centaur! I have to say that it's the first time in class that I've actually been excited about something! Heck, you've probably met them. I'm envious, I've really wanted to meet them, Miss Cherilee said that all six of them live here in Ponyville! I can't believe it!
Unfortunately, my foster parents don't approve of the Elements of Harmony. The elements themselves are crystals representing an aspect of friendship, and six ponies can represent one of those elements. My foster parents don't aprove because they say that if the elements never existed, then Equestria would be a much happier place. I don't know why they say that when the Elements are the reason Equestria is so peaceful in the first place!
We have to recite the importance of each element, say what each element means in the way of friendship, and say which element we would represent ourselves. But, I don't know what element I'd represent. The six elements are loyalty, kindness, generosity, laughter, honesty, and magic. On top of that, we have to do the project in partners! I wasn't to keen on that part, mainly because I wasn't really friends with anypony in my class. What surprised me was that Interstellar stepped in and offered to be my partner. I don't know why he is so kind to me. I'm not pretty, not with my matted yellow coat and orange mane. I'm not like any of the fillies in my class. I don't know why he would take an interest in me. Glittering Gold, of course, glared at me. And Shining Silver, always following her sister's lead, did the same.
Unfortunately, now I have to try and convince my foster parents to let me out of the house to meet Interstellar to work on the project! OR try and convince them to let Interstellar come to MY house to work on it! I don't know what to do! The project is due in two weeks, so I may as well update you every other day or so. So far I've only been sending you letters every four to five days, normally on the weekends. There's not a lot going on in my life, I just like to write to you.
I hear Moon Prism coming, so I'm going to send this off quickly before she gets a hold of it.
Love,
Citrine
