11 (Twilight Sparkle)
Dear Apple Bloom,
It's Phoenix. I'm feeling…down. I guess I feel like I don't have much in the way of family, so I figured I'd write you. Apple Jack and I always enjoy your letters (they're censored, but we can usually tell what you mean), and I guess I've started thinking of you as my little sister too? I hope that's ok…let me know if that's too weird.
Are you singing in any more musicals? I thought you were spectacular in Les Mares! I haven't done a whole lot of acting, but I was once in a production of Death of a Sales-pony. Have you seen that? It's pretty serious, but you could totally handle it.
Want to hear something funny? Applejack and I appear in each other's dreams now! I'll be sleeping and no matter what I'm dreaming about, she'll show up and we'll have adventures in…oh, I don't know. Candy Mountain. Or one time we had to save the world from giant grasshoppers that could shoot rabbits out of their mouths. And in the morning, we can both remember what we did in the dreams!
I wonder if we can visit your dreams sometime! It would be hard, since I think my psychic powers get weaker at a far-away distance, but I'll try if you want me to. Hanging out in dreams is fun if you do it with a good friend. And it's really nice, because in dreams Applejack doesn't have to wear her goggles all the time.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and to thank you for being so accepting of your big sister. That's not always…that's something she doesn't take for granted.
Your friend,
Twilight Sparkle
Dear Twilight!
Oh my goodness! I WISH you were my big sister too! That makes me just as pleased as punch to hear you say, since you've always been one of my role models. Maybe one day you can marry my brother Big McIntosh…then we really would be sisters!
You should totally see if you can visit me in my dreams! That's so wicked cool! I'm going to bed extra early tonight (first time I've ever said that, I guarantee)…see if you and A.J. can find me.
One request if you do keep writing: lots of awesome stories about the Party Room and all your adventures! Those are sooooo cool! I hope I get two cutie marks like you guys when I get older so I can fight crime and stuff like that! So yeah, stories about that…lately Applejack's been skimping on the battle details and just telling me how great you are. Which I'm not disagreeing with, but it's like, jeez, enough already! She sounds like she's talking about her Very Special Somepony! If I wanted to read something cutesy, I'd borrow a book from Rarity.
Anyhoo, it'll be great to get 2 letters a day instead of 1! I'm auditioning for the Filly of the Opera tomorrow. I'll let you know how that goes.
Your "little sister,"
Apple Bloom
