Dear Applebloom and Scootaloo,
Manehatten is just how Rarity described it, big, busy and beautiful (not unlike how she describes herself, but she denies the big part haha!) There's so many tall buildings, it's easy for a pony to feel small, especially when the friends that were always by your side aren't there anymore... Is it strange for you guys too? I mean, you're still in Ponyville and I'm halfway across Equestria! Hopefully when we've all saved enough bits we can go out to a cute little cafe I saw on Mane Street. They sell apple strudels Applebloom, but I'm sure they aren't as good as your homemade ones. Oh yes, and Scoots? They have an amazing skate park! There were some stallions with boards um... pulling tricks I think you call it. You guys would love it here, although nothing beats that small town feel of Ponyville.
On another note, just as that kind mare promised at the talent show two years ago, I finally have my first gig! I fought as hard as Icould to celebrate our 18th birthdays together. You could tell they really wanted me in a hurry! I almost had to drop out of the gig they were so impatient. It's at this pub called the Lucky HorseShoe. It isn't Carneigh Hall but we all have to start somewhere! I hope I don't mess up, haha! It's probably going to be really loud so no one'll notice a little slip up. When I hit the big time I'll be sure to send you the best tickets in the house!
The hotel room I'm staying at is kind of gross. I had to clean up a lot. What are the maids payed to do in this place? Luckily there was some cleaning supplies and towels under the sink, so that was the rest of the morning I had spent. The train arrived at five and I got the room around six, so that's four hours at least! Phew! Speaking of the train ride, Rarity almost forced herself to come with me! I mean, I love her but I have to do things myself or I won't be taken seriously. She's probably already sending a letter asking how I'm doing, but it's nice to get mail. It's only been around a day (if you include me leaving at ten at night, it's noon now) and I have a horrible case of homesickness!
Remember our crusading days? Being a filly is the best because you don't have to worry about bits for a house or food, just dolls or ice cream. They were also terrifying, thanks to Scoots. I'm just kidding, don't worry! We always had a good laugh afterwards, that's what counted. How's Applejack, Rainbow Dash and all the rest? Are they still hard at work? Dash mentioned something about mentioning you to her superiors about you right Scootaloo? Oh and Applebloom, has anyone bought your art yet? If not I'll send money that I earned next time and buy one. Soon I'll have tons of money to spare. Your careers are looking great so far. It's all about patience. We waited ten years for our cutie marks, we can bear a bit more patience. I miss you girls!
Hugs and kisses from Manehatten,
Sweetie Belle
