Dear Twilight Sparkle,
I have been thinking a lot recently, and I wanted to say that I’m sorry.
I snuggled with you without your consent, I ate your food, I threatened you multiple times, I brainwashed a whole village and your friends. And you still want to help me.I don’t deserve it. I don’t deserve your forgiveness. But I selfishly want it.
My life has lacked meaning ever since my only friend left me behind, and I’ve been lashing out against everypony around me, keeping them apart as I sank further into my own personal misery.
I honestly don’t know what to do about yours or Spike’s offer, and I feel like I’m just wasting your time. I don’t know what to do about anything in my life anymore.
Your regretful enemy,
Starlight Glimmer.
Dear Starlight Glimmer,
There seems to have been a problem with the censoring spell, but I managed to fix it. I hope it won’t cause any problems between you and Twilight.
Your watchful monarch,
Princess Celestia.
Dear Twilight [CENSORED],
I have been [CENSORED] a lot recently, and I wanted to say [CENSORED].
I [CENSORED] you without your consent, I ate your [CENSORED], I [CENSORED] you multiple times, I [CENSORED] a whole village and your friends. And you still want to [CENSORED] me.I don’t deserve it. I don’t deserve your [CENSORED]. But I selfishly want it.
My [CENSORED] has lacked [CENSORED] ever since my only friend [CENSORED] me behind, and I’ve been [CENSORED] everypony around me, keeping them [CENSORED] as I sank further into my own personal [CENSORED].
I honestly don’t know what to do about yours or Spike’s [CENSORED], and I feel like I’m just [CENSORED] your [CENSORED]. I don’t know what to do about [CENSORED] in my [CENSORED] anymore.
Your [CENSORED] enemy,
Starlight Glimmer.
After finishing reading the letter to Twilight, Spike tore the paper into pieces and jumped on top of the cutie map.
“Starlight! Could you please just talk to us?! We want to help you, but we need you to take the first step. You’re talking with the princess of friendship and her assistant; you can trust us with your problems. And you know we want only the best for you. So please, come out of hiding so we can help you.”
The dragon and alicorn waited for an answer, hoping that Spike’s words had finally managed to pierce the unicorn’s sturdy walls protecting her feelings.
A minute passed. No answer was given.
Another minute passed. Still no answer.
After one more minute, the deafening silence was broken by a shaky voice.
“Okay…”
I'm confused. What's with the two letters? The first one didn't need to be censored, as far as I can tell. I don't even know what the second one from Starlight is meant to be.

Sorry if it was confusing, Starlight sent the first letter, but Celestia's spell ruined it. Spike realised this and decided to be more direct to try and convince Starlight that she should speak to them because clearly letters aren't reliable to express her feelings.
Starlight, who had been hearing everything, finally decided to come out of hiding.

So the first letter was the uncensored version, and then the second was with Sunbutt's spell working on it. Now I get it.
Unnecessary censorship will never not make me laugh.
(And uh, this started in my Comedy Gold bookshelf, but at this rate it's gonna have to be in my Heart-tingling one too)

I fucking love unnecessary censorship. The one they made of Frienemies is some of the best.
I still have some things for both comedy and heart-tingling
I wanna give poor Glimmy one big hug!
Oh dear, that spell turns the letter into something else entirely.
I can imagine the letter would come off as entirely sincere if you assume Starlight is plastered.
This chapter reminds me of the video where they censor the count.
Here's an uncensored version of the song:

Celestia, I love you. Please never stop causing problems.
