Dear Mr. Ipsa,
I don’t wanna go.
I don’t wanna leave you.
I don’t wanna go back.
They won’t let me stay though.
I don’t wanna do this, but everypony is telling me that it’s what I have to do. Ms. Belle, Ms. Sparkle, and Ms. Cheerilee won’t tell Mommy and Daddy to let me stay. Not even when I begged them! They keep telling me it’s for the best.
I don’t know about that, though.
Living with you has been the greatest! At first, I was really scared...but that’s not true anymore. Far from it!
I love you, Mr. Ipsa!
But I guess that doesn’t matter to Mommy and Daddy...
I never told anypony who I am because of what you said to Ms. Sparkle. Remember when you told her that I needed to be back with my family and that you would take me back when I told you where I came from? I was so scared. I didn’t wanna go back. Mommy and Daddy are always fighting and I didn’t wanna go back. I wanted to stay with you.
I still wanna stay with you.
You don’t fight with anypony...a whole lot...well...at least it’s not on purpose...mostly. You’ve been really quiet...kinda...but you really care! I know you haven’t enjoyed me staying with you, but I have!!!
Today, Ms. Sparkle showed up at Ms. Belle’s and told me that Mommy and Daddy were waiting on me back at the library. I didn’t wanna go with her. I like living with you better. Mommy and Daddy don’t want me going to school. I’ll lose my friends I’ve made if I go with them.
I don’t wanna go.
I want to stay with you, but Ms. Sparkle didn’t pay attention when I wrote her a note saying so.
Mommy and Daddy wanna thank you for looking after me. They’re really mad at me for running away. They’re happy you saved me, though!
I don’t wanna go.
I like you better than Mommy and Daddy. Mommy always worries that it’s too dangerous for a filly who can’t talk to run around town and Daddy always agrees with her...unless it’s a fight...then he never agrees with her. They make me stay at home while some old pony named Mr. Notebook comes to teach me. You let me have friends. You let me go to a real school.
I don’t wanna go home.
I’ve been super-duper sad that I’ve not been able to talk to Mr. Booky until now. You were always writing in him and I never got to say hi. I’m really glad to finally be able to talk to him, but I’m really sad that I have to say goodbye at the same time. I don’t know how to say goodbye to Mr. Carty and I’m super-duper sad that I won’t be able to do more than wave.
I don’t wanna go.
Ms. Sparkle let Mommy and Daddy into your house to get my things. I hope you don’t get mad that they did. Daddy doesn’t like the bowties you bought for me, but I won’t ever take mine off!
I don’t wanna go.
I wanna stay here with you.
I wanna go to school with you.
I wanna ride around in Mr. Carty and eat muffins.
I wanna hear you sing me to sleep every night.
I don’t wanna go.
But I can’t stay. Mommy and Daddy won’t let me.
I won’t get rid of anything. I’ll keep the bowties, the saddlebag, and the blanket you gave me.
They want me to go by my real name, but I don’t! I don’t like the name Shimmer Shade anymore!
I can’t say no to Mommy and Daddy, though. They won’t call me V. Not even Ms. Sparkle, Ms. Belle, or Ms. Cheerilee will call me V anymore.
You’ll still call me V, right?
I want you to come by and visit me. I don’t like Mommy and Daddy.
Bring Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Dinky, Mr. Booky, and even Mr. Carty! We can all have fun together!
Goodbye, Mr. Booky.
Goodbye, Mr. Ipsa
Love,
V
Two cliffhangers in a row? Really man!

Why, whatever do you mean kind sir? I haven't the slightest clue as to what you're talking about.
1234827
You know exactly what you're doing you wonderful bastard!
1234848
You give me too much credit! Who do you think I am? Celestia? I'm not the one making this stuff happen to Ipsa. Nor am I the one making these 'alleged' cliffhangers.
As a side note, I am VERY proud of these last two chapters have come out. Sure, there are a few errors and whatnot, but I don't do my own editing so bleh. I still think I captured the two characters pretty well.
Oh definitely I'm lovin the story. It really should have more views.
Two side notes
I liked the older title to the story more, and Wearin Hat, best user name ever.

I would agree, but I believe my opinion is slightly biased.
You really think the old title was better? I saw that blog thingy and I was all like, inspired to do something with my life. So, instead of doing that, I decided to polish up the description and title some. I'll change it back though.
Yep, it is. I have that user name because I'm never online unless I'm wearing a hat.

In this case I think its justified.
Ya definitely, its a bit more.. ironic? I guess. I don't know it just sounds better.
Which blog post are you talking about?
Lol that just makes it more awesome.

The only thing stopping it from getting views is that people aren't looking at it. Getting featured or some crap would help. It's never the stories or authors that need views or recognition that get it.
I see your point.
I don't even know anymore man. I'm so engrossed in chapter 21 right now that I'm even acting like Ipsa...again.
I don't know how to help you with that, maybe they should add a spot in the featured box for stories that don't have a lot of views but are still good.
Good, good, much better.
Again? Well I figured that's where you got your inspiration. I just hope that doesn't bleed out to much into your every day life.
I'd like to point out that it got featured lol.
