My Dearest Scootaloo,
I am sincerely sorry that this wasn't the letter you were expecting, but my sister is busy writing up a new law in regards to the exportation of gems through Dragon held territory.
And as she is busy, she delegated the task of writing a response to you to me.
As my experience with the opposite gender dictates, it is informal and improper to ask the male to a dance, as it is emasculating to them. But that cannot be helped now, and, seeing as Spike is considerably younger than the males I have previously courted, he most likely would not care as much as a fully grown stallion. But, seeing as you have emasculated him somewhat already, it would be even more insulting and demeaning to him if you were to break off relations soon after your previous proposal. So, my advice to you is to stay the metaphorical course, if you truly didn’t want to cause him harm. You have already given your word that you would be the young dragon’s escort, and you are honor bound to uphold your promise.
And that concludes my stance on that matter.
My next word of advice is in regards to the courtship of said dragon. I must admit, I am not completely familiar with the courtship rituals of dragons, but I can give you advice as to how you can woo him fully and thoroughly if he happens to be, as Celestia mentions often, “Ponified.”
If you follow my council, you will be destined to be together for a considerable amount of time, and, if you follow my advice to the letter, he may even refrain from finding another mate after you pass away in his first tenth of his life.
Isn’t that just wonderfully romantic?
So, I shall begin my advice, and I, as your goddess of the moon, trust that you will follow them fully, as you are a smart filly.
The first word of my advice is this. Find the proper garments for the occasion. While I have never been the most fashionable pony in Equestria, I always did have better taste in garment selection then my elder sister, as she always chose traditional clothing over the more… rebellious choices I had. And as such, I was always considerably more popular with the colts, and sometimes, although I shudder at the memory of it, mares.
My recommendation would be that you dressed in a light ensemble, with a lighter and smaller frame then most ball dresses. It shows a larger portion of your natural curves than the older, and considerably more rustic full framed dresses, and it allows a slight swaying of the hips when one walks, if that is what one desires to do. It does apply the slight restriction of walking, but, unless you plan on running, you will fare well.
My next words of council are this, I would recommend finding a good Manedresser. I do not have a fully physical mane, and I have never once had to style it, until after the accident with nightmare moon. And even then, it was simply kept in the same style as it started in once I regained control, thus requiring little maintenance. Although, if possible, I would recommend styling your mane in the same style as miss Rarity’s, as Spike has been known to have a soft spot for her, and the familiarity of it may comfort him.
After you are fully prepared to go to the ball, you will be required to know the proper etiquette. You will be required to let Spike open the door for you, and when somepony wishes to dance with you other than your escort, you will be required to direct them to Spike, who will then approve, or disapprove. It may seem a little redundant, but I cannot stress the importance of proper etiquette.
And when the dancing is completed, Spike will be expected to walk you home. There, you will thank him for his time, possibly set up future “dates” and, if all went well, you may give him a kiss before you depart inside.
I sincerely hope you do well, and may your outing succeed.
Your Princess of the Moon,
Princess Luna.
Bouahhahahha excelent.
Luna is really a millenium too late. I can't wait to see where this will going but I'm damn sure I will enjoy the ride.
Cédric
That was freaking hilarious man, and I agree with Cedric; I can't wait to see where this goes.
Till next time, good sir.
Oh good lord...if Scootaloo actually does all this, I can't imagine what's going to happen...
And I don't think Scoot has enough mane to have the Rarity style.
Oh Luna...
... this won't end well, but it will be hilarious; assuming you don't whip out some form of heightened sadness upon my heart.
1913914 Nah, no sad. I don't like making things sad.
But thanks!
1906510 Yes.
1905554 Yeah, you're probably right. But luna doesn't know that.
1905544 Thanks!
1905366 Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it. Next chapter comes out tomorrow!
Actually, I shall post the first now, and the second on on sunday..
It's amusing how Luna's rebellious in some ways but utterly square in others. (like her whole 'shudder to imagine' bit at the thought of mares being attracted to her) Also, this can't end well.
Good story and chapter, I imagine Scootaloo go with Twilight for a translation
1915586 Thanks! I always had it in my mind canon that she was really rebellious... a thousand years ago. But now, her rebelliousness is so outdated that it can't even be compared to their era's old fashioned.
1916263 She probably would. Or give it to Cheerilee. One of the two.
I take that back about the CMC being horrible matchmakers... Luna is.
LUNA! YOU SHOULD TELL FILLYS TO WEAR THAT KIND OF GARMENT TO A SCHOOL DANCE! Also, it's become increasingly popular for the girl to take the lead in asking one to a dance it seems. When my sister went to her senior dance, she invited Dustin, and her 8th grade dance she invited Dillon. Then I was asked by my friend, Amber, to the 8th grade dance and we weren't in a romantic relationship like my sister was. So it's either my family goes against social norm, or the social norm is changing. Wow, I got off-topic.
