Dearest Scootaloo,
I am happy to see you have found a way to face your fears. Using your idol is both a creative and inspiring solution to squashing an imaginary fear from such a spooky tale.
But not all fears you encounter shall be easily conquered with creative thinking. One does not simply conquer a fear of heights by never entering tall towers, just as a bird that fears flight never leaves the nest, or let someone else do the task instead so you don't have to. That does not truly solve your personal problem, even if it makes it go away--it will crop up again like a nasty weed, always.
As such, your solution to the fear you faced in your dream was actually indirect; with Rainbow's help, your fear was solved by someone else. You must understand that not every problem you face can be fixed by somepony else.
That is not to say your friends' help is of no benefit, however. Friends, be they by your side or far away, can still lend you strength in unforeseeable ways. I'm certain they would think no less of you if you admitted your fears to them; rather, I believe they would try to help you however they can. They wouldn't be good friends otherwise.
However, there will be fears that you must face alone, and in such times where they occur, and while strength lent from friends helps, it is not enough to do everything for you. You must find strength within you to truly conquer them.
If you don't, it will take hold, mold you into something you are not, and you will then find yourself less than what you were. Without friends, without a home... without family. Scootaloo, I implore thee: learn from the mistake of a foolish mare made long ago, for if you do not conquer your fears, they will conquer you.
Sleep well, Scootaloo, and may your dreams be as glorious as the bright blue skies you dream of flying one day.
Wishing you well,
Princess Luna
P.S. Teatime with you in your dreams afterward was a delight, and I'd love to do it again sometime.
Oh, evening Celestia. What brings you to my room?
Bill is stolen? You mean this quill right here? He's been with me for the past hour or so, why?
No, Tia, I just borrowed him for a moment so I could write this letter to a child having nightmares. Did I do something wrong?
Fine, I'll ask next time when you're not busy in the bathroom. I heard you giggling in the there when I took the quill. I know what's going down.
Why, your super sudsy bubble bath, of course! What else could it be--
Thanks for reading as always, good folk. In addition to this letter, Tia answered a bit of fanmail!

I didn't make the connection of Luna writing this letter until the signature. Wow, I am not awake. That said, this was actually really cool. It fits well with the episode, and makes me appreciate your interpretation of Luna - she's both wise and playful.
I'm not jealous.Wishing you well, Princess Luna
Surprising, but appropriate.
Why, your super sudsy bubble bath, of course! What else could it be--
Not surprising.

This episode in particular was interesting to write because Celestia didn't have any notable bearing in it. I thought it felt weird if I had her write a letter in response to Luna solving a problem... so I improvised a bit.
And honestly, I don't regret how this turned out.
I don't get the sudsy bubble bath joke.
Can anyone explain it to me please?

Celly was reading some trashy romance novel while eating ice cream..
Probably.
5793850 Try thinking "in the gutter".
Whoa. The letter's actually written by Luna? Wow, what a twist! And a heartwarming and an excellent one, too!
5794194 Sure it does. Just not to the people doing the shoving. It doesn't matter what you or I say, people are still going to put other people down at the end of the day. That was for the people being pushed down, they have the choice to take it or to roll with the punches and get back up better next time. Fall down seven times, get up eight. I may be cheesy, but I have no regrets.
Ah Luna, I love ye.
so Celestia's quill is called 'Bill'... wonder if he knows Tom?
Oh, TOM...
If I hadn't already favorited this story, this installment would have sealed the deal. What an excellent use of Luna's voice (I knew pretty quickly it was her; the prose was too lyrical to be Celestia as you portray her). It's also just plain beautiful, as well as having an excellent message.
Kudos, praise, and flowers heaped upon you!
Light and laughter,
SongCoyote

I did! The vocabulary stiffened and didn't fit the "Holy me I'm so tired of today's craziness." tone that everything Celestia says seems to have.

I don't make good points...
... I make evil ones!
Luna <3
I giggle in the bathroom, but that's also because I read in there
Bathrooms aren't complete without something to read
Dibs Celestia was in there with Brutus.

Or soap and towels.
She was reading twilight, of course, and totally wasn't doing anything else in there...
5804788 Nope. Definitely not...
Frick. I hate my dirty mind.
5797906 true
Yeesh, what's with everyone naming objects? Have they been taking lessons from Owain?
5804788 SOMETHING involving Twilight...
Maybe not the same Twilight you're talking about though.
Didn't expect the Loyal Lunar Leader.
6075095 Loyal Lunar Leader... that's good. That's really good. I'm going to have to remember that one. /)
No Luna emote either? Humph. Seriously, Luna, Discord and Chrysalis should have been the most obvious ones to put down. Ok, maybe Chrysalis was a stretch but
she's my soulmateshe does have some pretty good faces.6756470 i.imgur.com/tkMRq.png There are... addons made for Fimfiction that allow a more extensive set of emotes, such as this one.
I looked up naive in the Mareiam-Webstirrup dictionary and it defined it as Luna!?!static.fimfiction.net/images/characters/princess_luna.png
Oh, it was Luna.....kay
