The Pen Pal

Yet Another Letter

It is -10 degrees Celsius and raining outside of the Sugar Bowl. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are inside to watch the game.

"What do we do now?" says Sweetie Belle. "I've barely gotten a thing done today. I've done a few things lesser today than yesterday."

"Yeah, well..."

"So what do you suggest I do?"

"Um, how many questions were answered in your last letter to Gregor?"

"A few."

"Like what?"

"The questions about the mall and the movie. 'The mall is a place with lots of stories.' 'The movie is about a clumsy detective.' Are these too boring for you?"

"Yes they are and I think you should edit them out."

"But that movie wasn't boring!"

"Oh. Then ask him some questions about the Griffon Kingdom. It sounds exciting. And as inspiration...have this!"

How is your school like? Is it doing well? Are ponies welcome there? Does your cafeteria serve them for lunch?

Also, what is your favourite food? How can you describe the taste of ponies?

"I didn't know you ate ponies", said Garbo.

"Never in my life have I eaten a pony! Where in the world does Sweetie Belle get these suggestions?"

"What do you wish to write back?"

"I'm no longer sure..."
