A report from a concerned assistant

Dear Princess Celestia,



It’s been a while since I sent one of these reflecting my own thoughts. Rather than one of the girls, so I may by a bit rusty on what to report. I’ll try to keep this short and not ramble on as much as I did last time.

Also, before I forget, you may have noticed that the last letter you received was written mostly by my craw. The reason behind that was, Sonic broke half a dozen quills trying to write the thing and Owlicious wasn’t too eager to lend him another one.   So I ended up writing the rest of it myself; with Sonic still telling me what to put into the letter.  So, it’s still more or less his thoughts on the matter. I just wrote it.

Anyway, the town is still mostly in ‘aw’ over our newest arrival and hero. Throwing one of the biggest celebrations I’ve ever seen; (only second to the summer sun celebration that Ponyville threw earlier this year.) honoring Sonic for saving the town and CMC.  Can’t say I don’t blame them, I was more than eager to pay my respects to the guy that despite being in pretty rough shape did all that.

However, It’s been weeks since then and everypony is still acting like it happened yesterday. Granted the parties have died down some, but the whole town seems to be dead set on ‘making our new resident and hero welcome.’ I’m still finding gift baskets on the door step. Not that I’m complaining mine you. We’ve had our share of ‘thank you parties’ and by ‘we’ I mean the girls.

Moving on, despite the rather warm welcome Sonic has received from town and the element bearers. I get the feeling that our new resident doesn’t feel like he belongs here; something of which I can relate to. I can guarantee that if Twilight hasn’t become your student, I wouldn’t have received nowhere near as warm of a welcome as I did; if at all for that matter. When Twilight choose take care of me, rather than let me go; like everypony else has with what they hatched after the entrance exame.

I’m rambling on a bit; I guess I’m starting to pick up a few bad habits as of late. Sorry about that.

So anyway, since we are both outsiders. In this town full of multicolored ponies; we both have to stick together. Encase they all turn on us as we have to fight our way out of town. I kid, but seriously, I’m beginning to understand why everypony holds Sonic is such high regards. Let me give you an example.
The other day, I was going to try one of another attempt at wining over a certain white unicorns heart. Getting ready to go out and getting the usual things you’d think would work for this sort of thing; until I bumped into Sonic when I was on my way out. He asked me where I was going with such a large sum of bits.

At first I was a bit reluctant to tell him about my ‘supposedly’ secret crush. Sonic assured me that we won’t tell a soul, but wanted to know why I needed so much ‘girly stuff.’ (His words not mine) To win over this ‘mysterious’ crush’ of mine.

So I finally broke down and told him. How I felt unworthy and how I’ve been pinning over her for so long. I was expecting Sonic to tell me it was wrong for me to have such feelings and that I should find another of my own kind. But to my surprise, he supported it and even told me that back in his world, he had ‘dated’ other (anthropomorphic) species himself. (I know he said ‘dated’, but I have a feeling he meant something else)

Apparently, this is something not too uncommon on from where Sonic is from. So he didn't find a problem with me doing the same.  However, he gave me this long talk on how I may not be ready for anything like this yet and that I should wait a while.

At first I was rather annoyed with this concept. However, I soon realized that Sonic was right and that I should focus on just making friends my own age and not worry about relationships yet. Which has made me realize I was a utter fool trying for something so…foolish.

I’m doing it again, sorry, sorry.

Also, it’s come to my attention that your ‘faithful student’ has become a bit smitten with our new guest. I’ve caught her on more than one occasion, blowing off her studying to spend time with Sonic.  Honestly I can’t blame her. Last time I saw Twilight this into something, it was the complete ‘unedited’ works of Star Swirl the Bearded. Though, I’m a bit worried about the ever increasing pile of work to do that’s piling up on her desk.

She needs to find a happy medium between the two or else she’s going to get really behind in her assignments.  

Maybe you should talk to her. I know Sonic has noticed this as well and has on more than once asked if Twilight had some work that need to be finished.  

I’m just getting worried about her and hope that she knows what she’s doing.

I’ve probably wasted too much time rambling on what’s been going on here between ‘adventures’. I’ll let you get back to work.

Please try to talk to Twilight about her recent behavior. I’m sure she’ll listen to reason when it’s coming from her mentor.


Thanks

So far this is one most intact note I’ve found yet. It contains no rips or tears and doesn’t have anything spilt on it; though I did notice that it’s been unraveled more than once.  The seal that binds this letter together is rather worn, despite the age of the letter. Meaning that someone has opened it more than once.  

I’m not sure what that means. This letter contains nothing that hasn’t been said before and other than the last paragraph or so. Seems like a standard report.

I’ll ask Spike on this matter when I get the chance
