The Letter to End All Letters, One

"Y'all come back now, ya hear?"

Applejack waved at the two ponies trotting off with their barrel of apples. Smiling to herself, she tossed the fresh bits into the pocket of her white apron and turned around. The mare whistled casually while strolling around to the other side of her fruit cart.

A winged shadow crossed her figure.

The mare looked up, tilting the brim of her brown hat back to see better. Almost instantly, her green eyes lit up.

"Why... howdy, Rainbow!" Her freckles gleamed in the afternoon sun. "What can I do ya for?"

You and I have been best gal pals for only a short while, but time could easily have fooled me. For real, though, it feels like we've known each other for years. Decades. So much stuff has happened these past few seasons, and even more in just the last hoof-full of months. And I don't mean all the stuff with Twilight Sparkle showing up and us becoming the Elements of Harmony and stuff. I'm talking about the moment that I first arrived in Ponyville. The moment I first became the town's most awesome weather flier. The moment I first met you. It seems so long ago, but it means a lot to me.

There's a chance you might be a bit freaked out as to why I'm writing you an actual honest-to-Celestia letter. Really, though, I don't blame you. I barely read anything as it is. So why bother writing stuff? Only, I figured out that this was the best way to share with you my feelings. That might freak you out too, seeing as I've not really done that before. But there's a first time for everything, right? And even if it's the last time... well... it's just something I have to get off my chest. I promise that everything's okay and it's nothing to be worried about. Though you might be a bit weirded out, and that's okay too... but...

You know what? Ignore that previous paragraph all you want. I'm just getting warmed up. Yeah, I know I could just scratch it all out and pretend I never wrote it, but that would defeat the purpose of this... whatever this is. So, if you please, bear with me, and I'll make everything clear... crystal clear. Just like how it's all coming to me now. I can barely hold onto the pen from how much my hooves are shaking. Whew, this is intense. Even so, here it comes...

Well, finally! Well done, Dash!

On another note, I hope that she hasn't shot herself in the hoof with this.........

Huge laugh from me. The comments really add another level to Skirts dailies.

I have a terrible feeling that inferno Rainbow envisioned consuming Sweet Apple Acres (see, half a million words ago) is going to happen soon and this letter will be consumed before Freckle-horse can read it.

I want to be wrong, but with so many chapters left...
