We walk down our long roads of life, but what of the roads not taken? Twilight and Applejack are carried along a different path, where their fates were bound in new ways.

11 - First Letter to Celestia

Greetings Princess Celestia,

I have made important discoveries, but let us start with the most important. Although ponies come in a variety of configurations and tribal backgrounds, we are more similar than not. I met another pony who reminds me of myself, but she has no horn and practices no magic. Still, when I consider her, I feel I have met a pony of such similar temperament that I am pleased to report them as a friend. Did I mention that? No, I did not. I successfully made several friends! With the help of Spike, who has been instrumental to this process, I have secured the friendships of most of Twilight's comrades. Perhaps I will approach Rainbow Dash next. She remains the most mysterious.

This aside, the fact that she is a pegasus no longer alarms me. She is a pony first, and what unites us, as ponies, is much stronger than the differences between our tribes. I feel foalish for not realizing this sooner.

On another topic, Spike wanted to return his ticket to you, but I have a better idea. It would seem the ponies of Ponyville have few chances to partake of the gala, likely due to their economic conditions and distance from Canterlot. May I be permitted to dispense additional tickets to rectify this? I will... Let me rephrase that. I will surrender the tickets to a trusted pony more able to face the crowd of ponies this will cause and dispense them fairly. I do not want to imply I will do that. I will not.

See You at the Gala,
Moon Dancer

Moon folded the note precisely in her magic and slipped it into an envelope, pressing it sealed with her personal stamp. "Spike, if you would?"

"With pleasure!" With a little puff, the envelope was gone in smoke, whisked away towards Celestia.

Author's Note:

I was just kinda overwhelmed with the need to write this. So it happened.
