Twilight's Letter to Princess Celestia
Dear Princess Celestia,
This letter isn't about the magic of friendship. Instead, it's about what I have been thinking and worrying about recently. Since I've became an Alicorn, I've been wondering about immortality...
One of the lessons you gave me when I was just a filly was on immortality. Immortality is when one gets to live forever without aging. You taught me how, you are immortal yourself. I, now also possess this power, feels guilty and somewhat evil. I will keep on living while watching all of my friends, family, and all that I cared for, pass away. Every time I think about this, my heart aches.
I know this was a gift from you. I still remember that day. When a regular unicorn such as myself became an Alicorn. I was so confused at that time, even a little scared. All of my friends were surprised by my new pair of wings. Then the next day, I was officially claimed as a princess. Everything happened so fast that I couldn't even keep my hooves still. Making you proud of me had always been my primary objective and when I saw how proud you were at that day, it made me feel like the luckiest pony in Equstria.
When you sent me here to Ponyville, I was mad at you. For not listening to my letter and to send me away from you. You have always been like a mother to me and always will. Sending me to Ponyville is like saying to me,"I don't need you anymore." With my emotions all piled up, I decided I will take care of business in Ponyville and return to Canterlot. At that time only Canterlot feels like my home because you are there. In Ponyville, I met 5 ponies who would change my life forever. They were (you already know, but I will still list them) Applejack, Rainbowdash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie and would later on become my best friends. We venture off into the Everyfree Forest to obtain The Elements of Harmony to defeat Nightmare Moon. We used to Elements against her and changed her back to Luna. Your little sister. The reunion was so beautiful and I'm glad that I was the one who made it possible with my friends.
Back at Ponyville, you allowed me to stay and study with my new friends. I was happy, but also afraid. I was afraid that you would find another pupil and forget about me. With this thought, I constantly send letters to you about my studies to show you that I'm still loyal even when I'm far away from you. Every night before bed I think about you. Sometimes even dreamed about you. Every time you are planning a visit, I always made sure it would be perfect.
On my brother's wedding, I was heartbroken when you didn't believe me about Cadence. You, who knows me better than any pony just betrayed me. It felt like the end of the world. Streams of tears came out from my eyes. Words can't explain the pain I felt.
The day I became an Alicorn began with a disaster. The destinies of my best friends were altered and it was all my fault. Their cutie marks were switched around. I don't know what will I ever do if I didn't fixed it?
You, Princess Celestia was the biggest inspiration to me when I was a filly. And you changed my life. I wouldn't have met my best friends if it hadn't been for you. I wouldn't had learn magic because most of all, friendship is magic. Then I realized, you are my gift. The best gift I ever got and will ever get. I've always wanted to say this Princess Celestia, I love you...
Your Faithful Student,
Twilight Sparkle

This is my first story and I proofread and edited it myself. It may not be as good, but I still want to publish it.
My dearest Twilight,
I apologize for putting you through all of this. When you completed the spell even Star Swirl the Bearded was unable to, I thought you were ready for this, but I was wrong. Will you ever forgive me Twilight, for everything? Back when you were just a filly, I already have plans for your future, but there was one thing that you needed help with and that my dear, was to socialize. Ever since I made you my personal pupil, you always stuck your head in a book and never communicate with other ponies; That's why I sent you to Ponyville. When I heard that you've made some great friends, I knew my decision had been right but I was shocked when you said you were going to stay in Ponyville. I was feeling sick and somewhat jealous of your new friends. Seeing that you'd rather stay with them rather than me made me felt upset, but I knew it was the right decision to let you stay because you've grown up and don't need me anymore. Still, receiving a letter from you once in a while always cheers me up.
Also, I had many things to thank you for. You had freed my sister from Nightmare Moon, defeated Discord, and saving the Crystal Empire. I don't know what I'd do without you. You've also found out Chrysalis' plot to take over Canterlot before any of us can. I thank you for all the good deeds you have done.
But, Twilight I didn't tell you, becoming an Alicorn doesn't make you immortal...
Yes, it does give you more power, but it doesn't give you immortality. I never thought you would ask but take Cadence as an example, she was once a Pegasus. Cadence learned the magic of love, which made her worthy of becoming an Alicorn, but that didn't stop her from aging and it will be the same for you. That is one fear I have, you passing away...
At first, my feelings towards you were just teacher to student. As I raised you, our bond grew and before I know it, I started to think of you as my daughter. As a princess, I have royal duties to attend to and can't spend time with you like a real mother. I've always envied your parents because they have a higher place in your heart than me. Twilight, I just wanted to say I love you, too.
Princess Celestia
