Letters from an Irritated Princess

by Tired Old Man

Dragons aren't Shy, Part 1

My faithful student,

I write to you on this occasion regarding the smoke coming from Ponyville. I'd assumed it was another Apple barn burning down, but judging from the color and smell, that is not the case.

It belongs to a sleeping dragon.

Now, I'm not surprised a dragon nested in that mountain. That spot has always been trouble as all sorts of dragons have nested there before, usually in preparation for the migration. Still, we're trying to discourage that by blocking the cave, but every time we've plugged up the entrance, a new dragon would show up and just casually knock the boulders aside before settling in.

On that note, apologies on any damages from the rockslide that probably occurred prior. I'm sending some guards and foremares over there, and they'll be sure to double up the rocks, and add some cement in there.

Until they arrive, DO NOT do anything rash or excitable. This is not a mission, just a stern warning. Treat this creature with the utmost respect and leave it alone. I don't want you to turn it into another fiasco like the time I took you to their mating grounds.

I had to write a letter filled with so many "sorry"s and apologies my horn cramped thanks to your idle comment about inadequate size. It didn't help my letter was longer than that either, but you left me no choice.

Stay safe, my student, and STAY AWAY from that dragon.

Love,

Princess Celestia

This makes so much more sense than the episode.

Wait, so Filly Twilight was taken to the dragon mating grounds by Celestia, and commented that one (or more) dragons had inadequate size?! I want a side story of some of the things Celestia put up with!

[ZealousChristian24]

Oh Twilight, you mean so well....

Dear Princess Celestia:

You know what? Screw your bureaucracy and your red tape. We're gonna kick that dragon out on our own

Your impatient student, Twilight Sparkle.

Yeah!

5598423 I like to see that too.

But in all Honesty, who thought bringing a filly to a mating ground is such a good idea?

[ShadowLDrago]

I like this. I really do, Celestia may be a bit irritated, but she does genuinly care for Twilight instead of just being flanderized into a jerk.

[Garrus01]

6471440 In all fairness, look at what happened to the LAST pony she mentored. They turned into a raging she demon and tried to take over the world! Wait, am I talking about Sunset Shimmer or Princess Luna?

[Boulder]

Never tell a child to NOT do something in a capital letter type voice, it always backfires.

[Lancerlot]

One of the most impressive parts of that episode was the Mane Six casually walking up what looked like about a 60 degree slope. Strange that no fanfic has made use of that.

Twilight still has nightmares about that day and tends to walk funny on the anniversary of the incident.
