Epilogue
Four months later…
Morning, Mac,
I actually hope you’re reading this in the morning, otherwise my attempt at being conversational failed spectacularly. Either way, how are things? I guess being the middle of spring is keeping you busy. If this letter gets to you before she leaves for Baltimare, give our newest Wonderbolt my personal congratulations though! And if you’d remind her that no amount of teasing me about us will make her life easier, that’d be swell. I am going to be her boss after all.
Anyway, I hope nothing on the farm has gone catastrophically wrong. Two weeks on as Spitfire’s wingpony, and I’ve already dealt with more medical issues than I thought possible. Oh, and requisitions management… they can go to the moon. I’m not complaining too much am I? The job’s honestly not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Once Rainbow joins up, we’ll be off for the Northern Reserve tour, so I don’t think we’ll be able to see each other until it’s over… Wish it were otherwise, but hey, if it’s a fun tour, then I’ll know the places we can visit if we ever go as part of a vacation.
I’ve actually started keeping a journal to remind of stuff like that by the way. There are so many places I want you to see!
Well, write soon please!
Love, always,
Fleetfoot

Hope AJ got this letter to ya. I figured it’d be faster’n tha post, with how frantic everypony’s been. Just got her letter yesterday. How is she? I figure the team’s doin’ right by ‘er but just wanted to be sure everypony’s okay. Gotta be a shock ‘n all for everypony. Nopony’s been givin’ ya’ll trouble over it have they?
Either way, I’m sure everypony will work through it, get adjusted. It’s how these things go. Listen, even though AJ’s gone ‘n all, I’m comin’ up ta see ya. Figure ya’ll could use somepony who ain’t yer teammates ta talk to. Everypony’ll get through, but that don’t make it easy now.
But there’s also somethin’ I wanna ask ya. An’ it ain’t the kinda thing that can be done in a letter. I gotta do it myself. So if AJ gets this to ya, ya’ll should see me in a day or so. It’s been a little longer than normal since we saw each other, so I’m lookin’ forward to it.
Stay strong, Darlin’
Love, forever,
Mac
