A Little Talk
I know, this may be totally ridiculous. I mean, it is actually, but a letter is more… I don’t know, a letter just fits to do this. You may be wondering what this is, Sparky, but we'll get to that in due time.
I’m very happy about you and Trixie. Of course, I always had my differences with her. We always had some fights and everything, we never tried to be good to each other, but that doesn't mean I hate her… Okay, I need to admit, I hated her for some time, well not just some time, quite a long time if you want to know, but I changed my opinion of her some time ago. And I don’t even know why I did. Perhaps because, now at the end of our last year here in Canterlot High, she decided to stop being so arrogant to... Well, the entire school.
I can’t say that I was never arrogant. I have been, many times. And I can’t blame Trixie, everyone always mocked her for being adopted. And I really always thought that was terrible. And I never feel sorry for someone being mocked, I've done that, many times, but that's not her fault. But I couldn’t do anything about it.
Trixie, a little before she asked you out, told me something. Of course I believed in her, I could see it in her eyes since... Well, since you two met. I could see she loved you. And that’s what she said to me. But she also asked a question. I just said no to this question. And I was lying.
I didn’t want to answer the truth, because she would be really... Afraid of me because of, well, you. So I decided to stay quiet. Because I understand what she felt for you, and still feels. So she’s with you, and she is very lucky. Sparky, you know very well that I always found you as such a... different girl. You never wanted to draw attention from anyone, but after all you never needed to. You’re very beautiful. And smart and a lot of other things.
Before I say anything else, I have to admit, I wish you and Trixie are happy.
But, no, this letter is not about that. No, this letter is about the question she asked me. You want to know what it is? Well, it's something that surprised me at the time. I wondered if she had noticed. But the question took me by surprise.
Do you love her?
“Her” is you, Sparky. I think you must be surprised, right? Even more so because I'm just writing this letter because of you. Because of my answer that day. A simple “no”. And because of the past, I never told you. And I want to have this little talk with you before Trixie takes you forever from me.
You know what I wanted to say that day? I wanted to admit. I wanted to say how I always loved you, Twilight.
From the first day we met you were good to me, I mean, I received you in school. But, of course, just because of that… Bet. You must be wondering what bet. Well, I made a bet with Rainbow when you came here, three years ago. She bet me to get you. Yes, I tried. But I couldn’t do this just for a bet. Then I gave twenty dollars to her, logically losing the bet.
I was sorry about it. Very sorry. But I started to… Like being with you. Like it very much. Remember how I liked you helping me out with math lessons? Yeah, I liked it because I could just spend time with you, Sparky.
You think I wasn't jealous of Rainbow when she called you out and you accepted? I was just mumbling curses all day, complained so much that Applejack told me to go to hell. Well, it didn’t work, right? Luckily RD has Fluttershy for her, she’s a very sweet girl, you know.
Over the months, you've been getting more and more friendly with all of us. Remember that night on Christmas Eve at Rarity’s home?
Applejack wanted to kill me after I kissed Rarity because of that damned mistletoe.
I really wanted to be with you, Twi. I really wanted. But luck was not on my side. So the months passed. I was with some girls, but none really cheered me. None of them. Zero. Just you did that for me.
You know why?
Because I love the way you smile and the way you laugh. I love your eyes, they’re beautiful. I love how you sing, your voice sound like a angel. Love the way you roll a lock of your hair on your finger and blush when you’re embarrassed about something. Love the way you smile when you're embarrassed. I love to embrace you, and smell your scent, it smells like lavender.
Love the way you can be clever at any time. I love how you can charm anyone, girl or boy. Love the way you act. I love to see you writing, your texts are wonderful, you should recognize that more, sometimes I don't think you do.
I love the way you smile when I call you Sparky, it's the nickname that you always loved. And only I call you so. And just you can call me Sunny.
Twilight Sparkle, my Sparky, I love you. Everything in you, every little piece of you. Body, soul and personality. Everything. I love all of you, without exception.
And you think I didn’t want to be the one holding you from behind, kissing your mouth, protecting you from all your fears, simply sleeping with you or even making love with you? Yes, that is the thing I most wanted. But I can’t.
You think I don’t feel stupid for never admitting this to you? Yes, I do, more than I can put into words.
But I just follow on. Just as you should do. Our graduation is coming, the future's knocking on our door. And no matter how much I love you, I know you love Trixie, and I want you to be happy with her. She loves you too, Sparky, I better make this clear to you.
I got a chance. I’ll leave here and go to Manhattan next week, I asked Principal Celestia to already give me the certificate, I can’t go to prom. My uncle, Dimitri, got a college for me. And it's the best in Manhattan! I never liked to study so much, but this opportunity can’t pass out.
I will always find a way to visit the girls. RD, AJ, Rarity, the crazy that we call Pinkie, Flutter, and, of course, you and Trixie.
I heard she has a surprise for you on the prom’s day. I bet you'll love it. Even I would love it. It’s fantastic. But I won’t tell you what it is. You'll find out very soon.
But after all remember one thing: I love you Twilight Sparkle. All of you. And you will always stay in my heart, all the time. So I sent you, along with this letter, something very important to me. My sun necklace, this sun of two colors. You know my mother gave me it, before she… Well, you know. Now it’s yours. As a symbol of my love. Take it. Give it to someone you really love.
I think I should end this here. It was very good to have this little talk with you, Sparky. I love you, I’ll always love you.
Twilight finished the letter, she smiled and shook her head. It was the fifth time she read it, in years. Then she looked at the ring on her finger and smiled again.
“Mommy, what are you reading?”
Twilight turned to see Aurora, her little daughter, at the door. She had a certain necklace on her neck. “Nothing, my love…” she put the letter in the drawer, “How about we go to the park and take Spike to play with other dogs?” The little girl smile and let out a little ‘Hooray!’. “Go to get ready!” Twilight said as the little girl left.
Twilight sighed, smiling.
“What you smiling at, love?” Twilight felt Trixie’s hands on her shoulders, getting a kiss.
“Nothing, just… Thinking.”
Trixie gave a little laugh, “Always thinking, Sparkle, always.” She gave a kiss on her cheek and left the room, giving her a smile.
Twilight remembered the letter once again. She wondered how it would be if it were different. If her destiny was Sunset. But she remembered Sunset’s words: “She loves you too, Sparky, I better make this clear to you.”
Twilight knew it could be different, but she was happy.
“Thank you, Sunset, thank you very much.” She murmured and left the room.
It was certainly a very valuable little talk. And Twilight would always remember it.
