E

Starlight Glimmer discovers a letter on her desk asking for help bonding with others and getting over a social anxiety disorder. Although, there's only one problem: the letter is anonymous.

Through the letters, friendship tips and just friendly reminders are sent between the two, and it soon spreads into a school-wide thing. But there's one thing that everyone is wondering. Who was the original sender?

The letter has SusHugging written all over it 🤔

Good beginning as always! Can't wait for the next chapter :twilightsmile:

11493609
Lmao how is it SusHugging?

11493614
It's anonymous

Usually anonymous letters are very SusHugging.

11493617
I believe it's called "mystery"

Or they could scan the letter for magic traces that would have the sender's unique magical signature... :pinkiehappy::twilightsmile:

What's SusHugging?

11493763
An inside joke between me and Catpaw616. It just means suspicious.

11493755
That is smart, but it would require a lot of work.

11493763
An inside joke between me and the author lmfao. So pretty much what they said

Sorry I didn't approach your office in person

What's this "person" you speak of? :duck:

11493940
Haha, no idea. That was the sender's message, not mine :3

Let's hope things go well for her 🙃

In my opinion, it's really hard to make any friends, especially when they've all got friend groups of their own already. The worst part is, I feel like I'm basically invisible, so whatever I do goes unnoticed. And I honestly don't mind that, but it's a friendship school, and I still need to learn friendship. That's not going to happen if all I do is live life unnoticed.

Taking a quick gander before I read further, this sounds a lot like Wallflower Blush

Oh my gosh, I didn't think of that, but you're right :rainbowlaugh:

Hm, could Sandbar be the one sending the letters? :rainbowhuh:

11499287
Interesting thought. Maybe correct, too. But all will be revealed over time :raritywink:

I'm starting to suspect its one of the Underdeveloped Student Six that's sending the letters. Idk who specifically, but I think its one of them.

Anywho good chapter as always. Can't wait for more :twilightsmile:

Always here for you, Starlight Glimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy Breeze

A minor nitpick, but I believe Flutters last name is in fact Shy, because, if you recall, Rainbow refers to her parents as Mr. And Mrs. Shy.

11500984
I do remember that, too, but I've always seen Fluttershy as one name. It just feels unnatural to me to write it; I'm not saying it's wrong at all.

11500984 Yeah, but then there's Zephyr Breeze. His name doesn't appear to have Shy in it.

My experience with social anxiety had a strong reason. Some ponies just have it, and others, like me, develop it over time, usually because of a traumatizing event in that pony's past. I'm sure you know of my backstory, of me being a dictator who believed in the perfect utopia. And it would have been perfect, if not for my selfishness. And even after Twilight extended her hoof to me in friendship, I turned away. I, unfortunately, was so vindictive! It was the wrong choice, as I came nearly close to the destruction of the whole world. See, I still despise the bad old times today, but I'm communicating just fine now.

Yes yes and she has gone far too :)

My curiosity of Taz's identity has increased. 👀

Taz's identity continues to baffle me.

"Dear Starlight Glimmer," she started, wincing while hearing it aloud, feeling it on her tongue. The name hurt to say a bit.

SusHugging

Anywho I'm starting to form theories in my mind of who Taz is. Can't wait for them to be absolutely wrong

Stupid me didn't read the entire chapter before writing this I just got excited for some reason

I think that Taz is chrysalis.

That is my guess

11510467
That would be a good guess, actually because of that one quote below.

11510373
So who do you think it would be?

11510574
Ah yea, makes sense.

11495563
It does. But there's no reason other characters can't feel the same way. Time will tell I guess.

Oh no the finale is coming. My guess is that Taz is Ocellus

11520662
One more chapter! Ocellus is a pretty sensible guess xD
It's actually fun to see people guessing in a mystery, more specifically my story.

11520665
Ty for the dislike I appreciate it a lot
Lol it seems pretty obvious to me haha I totally didn't steal from the other commenters

11520667
Thank u as well I really appreciate it
Bro theivery ur so mean

11520669
Ik but my smol brain isn't capable enough to solve the mystery myself so...

Twilight COULD scan the letters for residual magic, to at least confirm or discard the possibility that the writer is a unicorn. :twilightsmile:

Chrysalis is still my guess

11520752
That is true, and efficent, but that would be much more trouble than it needs to be

Very curious. I figure it's fairly rare to find just such a cozy and interesting story that touches main themes of the show, and looks like it could really take place in it's continuity. So, to reconnect once again with these characters and gain some insight in their lifes — it's always a pleasure


Her eyes were squeezed so tightly because she didn't want to face the stares of her friends, not to mention the whole crowd. But she forgot to close her ears or do some deafening spell. She still heard several voices, all in unison, say her name. "Starlight?"

WHAT

I had a thought that it was Starlight, but I didn't even pay much attention to it because I thought it sounded stupid. 😭

Anyways good story, had me intrigued!

11522584
L 🙃 Sounds like more cap
Thanks!

11522462
Aww, thanks so much!

I KNEW IT! The only (friendly) pony who'd ever detest saying the name Starlight Glimmer... Is Starlight Glimmer herself.
I had suspicions from the beginning, Starlight writing letters to herself is very in-character and I've seen it in a couple other fics. But that line was the giveaway.

It's unusual to see Fluttershy referred to as Fluttershy Breeze. I know of only one other story that did so.

I did suspect Starlight but i wasn't entirely sure it was her.
