Chapters Lost Letters of Equestria
Dear Princess Celestia,
Never in all my years, would I ever think that I'd have met somepony from a different land outside of Equestria, or even this realm. What I'm about to tell you, is going to sound bizarre. Maybe even even unbelievable or made up. I'm having trouble coming to terms myself and I witnessed it first hoof. Something not of this world came to us and...well. Maybe it's best that I start from the beginning.
Today started off as any normal day. The sun was shinning, birds where chirping, and we gearing up for a big storm the weather pegasus where putting together for this evening. I was eager to dive right into those books you sent me a few days back. (Thanks again by the way.) When a knock came from my door. Not wanting to be rude, I answered it.
Of all the ponies to expect, I never would have guessed Rainbow Dash would be at my door. Mainly because she was suppose to be helping prepare for the storm later in the day. She assured me that it was fine, that everything was under control and she wasn't needed.
I Was about to call her bluff, when she demanded that repay the favor I owe her for helping with an important task a few weeks ago. Honestly, I figured she forgot about it. Since Rainbow never brought it up again, when she asked for a favor in return.
To make a long story short, Dash wanted to recreate an training course the Wonderbolts had built. Claiming it was the 'most challenging course they ever had.' Or at least that's what the copy of 'Wings and Stunts'; that Rainbow Dash had. Claimed in there cover article.
So as you can guess, Dash wanted to build her own version. Which normally wouldn't have been possible, but the magazine was kind enough to include a rather detailed layout of the course. With an in dept chart of heights and distances of all the loops, embankment, and even of the spacing between the pillars they lip though to improve there reaction time. Making this almost a blue print of this supposed Elite course. If i didn't know better, i'd say the magazine and by extension the Wonderbolts.;were asking it's readers and fans to try and make this course themselves.
Which of course is exactly what Rainbow Dash had in mind. And was asking any pony that could swing a hammer to help. Offering the incentive and Ponyville, would be the first town (in this region) to have it's own pegasus training course outside of outside Las Pegus.
This as you can imaging, actually brought a rather large crowd. Eager to put Ponyville on the map and be known for something other then it's creepy neighboring forest, strange weather pattern, and seeming magnet for all things weird. You'd think they'd be thrilled to be known as the place that the bearers of the elements reside. But I guess a stunt course is more interesting to them; Go figure.
So with a rather large work force and other element bearers. (yeah, I guess I was the last one Rainbow Dash asked to help.) We started to gather materials and find a suitable location to build this thing. Finally deciding on a chunk of lang in Sweet Apple Acres, as AJ or her family hasn't used in some time.
However, as you can image, the trill of working on this started to wear off and we started losing volunteers in droves. Eventually leaving just us and a few others ponies not too eager to get back to what they were doing before offering to help. Which unfortunately, led to a few haphazard builds on some of the more complicated obstacles. Though Rainbows ever decreasing patients didn't help either.
After spending the morning and most of the afternoon on this thing, we managed to finish before dusk. Things would have moved faster, but the last of our Volunteers left after getting into an argument with Rarity on the functionality of some of her improvements.'
Regardless, we finished building this elaborate course and in true Rainbow Dash fashion. Proceed to go though it to show of ger 'cool moves.' And then again, and again, and again some more. Honestly, I lost count on how many times Dash went though it. But I do know she ran though it till dusk and had a smile on her face the entire time.
Unforchantly, even this began to wear off and Dash began getting increasingly frustrated on her inability to beat the time of the original courses fastest flier. ( Fleet-foot at 2 minutes even) Even though she was only off by a few seconds. Dash was determined to beat that record...at call costs. Which I grantee she probably would have, but fate had something else in mind that night.
Just as we had manged to talk Rainbow Dash into giving it a rest for the night. (only succeeding because of the upcoming storm,) Something loud, tore though our small little town and stirred up quite the commotion. Being the ever curious mare that I was, I wanted to see what caused that noise. Even managing to get the rest of the gang to tag along.
I figured we should be the first one to fine it, encase it turned out to be something dangerous...How right I was.
Fallowing the trail of the destruction left in this things wake. We ventured though a scorched Everfree forest and came out neat Fluttershy's cottage of all places. And witnessed all of her pets in a frenzy over something. Noticing that the animals were avoiding the chicken coup; with a now larger door way.
As we approached, the small building exploded and a strange creature emerged from the broken remains. As first it seemed disoriented, not familiar of where it was. However this quickly changed and this...thing began attacking us. Even with the his severe injuries. It was a formidable foe and it was thanks to his state that we survived his onslaught.
I'd hate to think the outcome of the ordeal, if he was at top form....probably not a happy one.
However, during this incursion. Something happened...something I didn't except. (Well more so then what I had already witnessed.) During a stand off, we had reached a stalemate as my and i'm assuming his more powerful attack collided and showed no signs of turning any either's favor. During this I began to see visions flood into my head. Ones of which I had no recollection of, Most seemed to be of a blue creature interacting with others like him. All appearing to be some sort of woodlin creature; except they all stood on two legs and had hands with apposable thumbs.
These images didn't show of a violent beast, but of a hero or savior. Which let me to believe that this creature...this monster that was attacking us. Was actually the same one from the visons I saw and wasn't in full control of itself.
So after stopping this already weathered and battered creatures. I figured he should at be able to explain himself. Before we turn him over to the local guards. This as you can image, this didn't sit well with everypony. Most were against showing compassion towards the very thing that attacked them. With one particular mare suggesting that we just leave him in the rain.
However, despite the obvious uneasiness the goup had, regarding my idea. We managed to carry him to Fluttershy's cottage and had her tend his wounds. While we attempt to clean up this disaster he caused.
Now I stand over this unconscious creature, ever curious and somewhat puzzled on how something that looks so innocent can be so twisted. Or if he's friend or foe and wonder why he was carrying this strange glowing rocks.
Ever cautions, I shall keep you informed of the situation as more information is reviled. I may need you aid in this, if he proves to be something out of our control.
Your Faithful Student,
Twilight Sparkle

Lost Letters of Equestria
Dear Princess Celestia,
How ya doing? It's been so long since I sent you a letter. So what's new? Anything interesting happen lately? Have you done any traveling lately? Because I herd you went to a place outside of the Equestria recently.
Ouch-! Sorry, Rarity just poked me, saying something about being too loud or something. I wasn't paying attention.
So we found this creature or did it find us? Hm. So anyway, we came across this spiky yellow thing...let's just call it Spiky, it seems to fit and I rather like that nickname. Did you have any nicknames when you were younger?
Owwie! Stop it, Rarity I'm trying to write this letter! What? I'm going to wake up Spikey? Oh don't give me that look. You're just mad you didn't think of that nickname sooner.
So anyway, Spiky loses his marbles and begins coming after us. Saying something about target practice and fresh meat. Who eats that? I wonder if it's any good. Nom! Nom! Nom! Nope my right foreleg doesn't seem to be that tasty.
Hey give that back! I was using that! Sorry, Rarity took my quill and ran off with it. Well unforchantly for her. I always keep a spare...shhhh.
Any who, we clash with Spiky and Twilight ends up over powering him and forces him to go all blue and stuff. I guess something was wrong with Spiky or something. Because he seemed like some pony else before he collapsed. Twilight seems to think so too, because she's stood between him and the others. Demanding we help him, despite what he did.
I wonder if she got something other then a bad feeling from her confrontation with Spiky. Oh, maybe she got a glimpse into who this is or something. Wait no, that's crazy. No pony can do that...can they. No, I think Twilight has sort of thing for him. She keeps walking past his bed side and giving him one of her looks. And I can see why, Spiky is just so CUTE~! I wanna take him home and...wait. He's not a stuffed toy, so some ponies may get the wrong idea if I finish that sentence.
So after some heated discussion, we carried him back to Fluttershy's house and begin treating his injuries. He also had some shiny rocks with him, so we took those too. I don't under stand why every pony was so divided on this. Applejack and Rarity, were against helping him. Twilight and Fluttershy wanted to give him a chance and Dashie and me, well we don't know what to say about this. Spiky may be a good guy or not, but we just can't leave him in the rain. Though patching him up may not be our best solution if he is a bad pony.
I'm so confused! What is the best solution to this? Should we help him or not? Is he going to attack us or be our friend. If he's the prior, I'm probably going to hate myself for not taking Applejack's side, but if he's the latter. Oh boy, do I have something extra special planned to welcome Spiky to Ponyville. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy welcoming any new comer to our quaint little town, but Spiky is no ordinary pony. He's....well I don't know what he is, but i'm sure Fluttershy will.
I'll let you know when I find out and how the party went, assuming he's not a bad pony.
*Letter was found in a box marked 'bulk.'
Author's Note
Another Lost letter for you folks. This time being by none other then everyone's favorite party thrower, Pinkie Pie. Who is surprisingly neutral on if they should turn in or befriend our hero. Odiously hoping for the latter, since it will give her another reason to throw a party....Like she ever need one already
I had a bit of fun writing this, mainly because I was able to be a bit randomness in my take on Pinkie's reaction to the new arrival. Only to lose her train of thought at some of the oddest times. I figured this is how she wrote all of her 'Friendship Reports' to the Princess. So her random questions and comments, weren't unusual.
All characters belong to there prospective owners, let me know what you guys think in the comment section below.
This end the first part of the 'Lost Letters arch.' The next set will be of the mane 6's reaction following the end of the next chapter(s). Please note, that these are meant to coincide with my 'Chaos in Equestria' crossover. Ambit during the earlier chapters currently. However, not every chapter will get a set of letters, especially if it's a two/three parter. Then only the last one will get one.
Lost Letters of Equestria
Dear Princess Celestia,
It’s been a while since I sent you one of these. I’ve been busy lately, with a few things. Not saying I haven’t learned anything, rather I just haven’t had the time to write them down. Like I’ve been practicing this new routine I’m going to try at the upcoming Best Stunt fliers’ Completion. (I know it’s just a rehash of the Best Young Flyer competition, but after doing a Sonic Rainboom last time. Everypony is going to ask me to do that….and I don’t want to be just a one trick pony.)
Oh right, the letter. Twilight scolded me on that, so I’ll try to send these out a bit more frequently.
She really needs to get out more
Oh, I almost forgot. We got a new visitor last night. I’m sure the others have told you already, but this Sonic guy is super cool and really fast. I think he may be as fast as me…almost. I don’t know what it is, but he’s got the air about him. Like he knows how the winds flows, or is one with it….It’s kind of hard to explain.
A few of the others weren’t t o eager to help him when he showed up and I can understand why. But leaving him bloody and broken in the rain isn’t exactly a good thing either. I just wish I would have taken Twilight’s side on helping him. Because I fell like a horses flank for not saying anything.
Also something happened, I don’t know what it is, but apparently I was possessed by something. I can’t honestly recall, since I blacked out for most of it. The few things I can rember is feeling very energized at some point; like I just drank an entire pot of coffee in one sitting. The other, seeing Sonic fly towards me (shimmering in a golden light) going at a speed that may even rival my Sonic Rainboom…or maybe surpassing it.
All I know is that I owe Sonic my life and will make sure to thank him next time we meet. I would have after he saved me, but Sonic passed out after I stopped the others form tearing him apart. Does that make us even? Na, Not even close. He could have out ran them, if things got too hairy.
Twilight of all ponies volunteered to take Sonic in. Not the likeliest of mares if you ask me. Considering she fought him head on and probably only won because he was so messed up. Then again, If AJ would have offered, then I’d have to ask you to check our water supply and see if somepony spiked it or something; since she was ready to buck Sonic into next week a few moments before that.
I’ll keep you posted on how this turns out.
The ‘awesome’ element of Loyalty,
Rainbow Dash
P.S. Can non unicorns learn that cloud walking spell?
-Writers note: Twilight insisted I write this A.S.A.P. and Rainbow Dash was real giddy when she told me everything. So things might be a bit jumbled. Maybe she did slam a few too many cups of coffee before all this. IT would explain a lot.
-Spike
*Letter was found torn in half on top of a few others with similar hand writing. It would be safe to assume, a torn in half letter is one that the writer asked to not be sent.
Lost Letters of Equestria
Dear Princess Celestia,
I hope I’m not bothering you by sending this. If you’re busy with something, then don’t worry about reading this. It’s probably not as important as what you might need to do. And you've probably already read the others reports, so I may just be repeating what you already know. So this is probably a wait of time, but I’ll continue in case I have something new to report.
It’s been a few days since we've been honored by the appearance of our new friend, Sonic. In the short time he’s been with us. He’s saved us more than once and despite his injuries, (which I really wish he would let heal) Sonic has risked his life the entire time. He single highhandedly…oh my, that is a funny word. Saved Rainbow Dash from being possessed by these strange emeralds and stopped a herd of timber wolves from destroying the town; while saving Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo in the process.
I know there good kids, but I really wish that they’d think before doing some of those things they think will get them a cute mark…I’m not telling what do or anything, I mean I’m sure there parents are aware of what there doings it’s just…Oh dear maybe I shouldn't mention it to any pony.
However, despite what trouble those three get into. They should be thankful Sonic was there to save them. Because if he wasn't…well I don’t want to even want to imagine what would have happened.
Any pony that’s willing to risk their life to save another without a second thought; especially if it’s somepony I care about. I’m proud to call them a friend and wish them a speedy recovery. Poor dear is probably going stir crazy right now, being cooped up in that library all day.
Maybe Twilight has a thing for our new friend. That surly would explain why she was so eager to help…oh my, I’m doing it again ant I? I’ll just finish things up here.
The others have now warmed up to Sonic and any animosity they may have had against him is resolved. I’m glad that we can all be friends. I’d hate to think how things would have turned out, if that weren't the case…probably something bad.
I’ll keep you posted on what’s been happening here…I mean if that’s ok.
The Element of Kindness,
Fluttershy
BTW: What is a chili dog? I figure it’s a poor dog that is cold, but then why would Sonic ask for one?
B: Letter was soiled with spilled coffee and what appears to be cake frosting. Maybe Spike should put the letter some where safe, before gorging out on frosted delights. Though I do admit they are quite tasty.
Author's Note
Ponyville's animal care taker is up, filling the princess in on what's been happening. Sadly she'll never see this letter.
All characters belong to there respective owners.
A/N: I hope I got the tone right. For some reason, I imagined that Fluttershy would be overly polite and would apologize. When ever she thought she made faux pas.
Let me know what you guys think in the comment section.
Lost Letters of Equestria
Dear Princess Celestia,
I have so most excellent news. We have a new resident to our quant little town. A kind fellow that isn’t from around here, but has never thought twice over saving it. One who has personally captured my heart and many of those around him. While maintaining a cool and collective demeanor, of which a certain cyan mare that we all know, Could learn from.
Still there is something about Sonic that seems to come up whenever I talk to him. And no, it’s not how he came to our land; lashing out at us in a blind rage. That until recently, I thought was his normal demeanor. That this ‘cool act’ was just an act; which I am more than pleased to know was incorrect.
What I mean is that whenever I look into this Sonic’s eyes. I see something not common in our land the look of sadness, pain, suffering, and loss. I don’t mean the kind you’d see from a batty kid or a pony down on their luck. Rather the kind you see from one that has been through great hardships and has seen things that probably would make the normal pony ill.
I do hope this is not the case and that I’m just over thinking this matter entirely. It would be heart breaking to know that such a kind and gentle soul has been though such pain. That somepony is responsible for all this and has shown no remorse for doing so.
Perhaps the answer will come in time and we’ll have to accept it when it comes. I am a big envious of Twilight in her regards. She was able to see the good in Sonic before any pony else. I don’t believe it was mere intuition, she knows something that we don’t. I’m not going to push the issue, but I’d like to know what it is. Also how she came in contact with such information.
Or maybe I’m just jealous. Had I known how sweet and caring Sonic was when he first arrived. I would have gladly opened my home and probably most of the others; to this visitor to a far away land. But alas, such are things. Our new visitor is staying with Twilight and I have to accept that.
Though I do hope, she doesn’t become obsessed as she tends to do with most things. I can see the appeal, but this is somepony that saved our lives, not some dusty old relic from a lost civilization.
Twilight doesn’t know how lucky she is to have somepony like that by their side. Perhaps it was fate that brought them together…or just a bunch of good luck. I’ll see how this pans out and what will come of it.
Maybe it will surprise even you, princess.
The fashonista of style and generosity,
Rarity
P.S. – Would it be too much to offer our new friend a tour of our town?

Lost Letters of Equestria
Dear Princess Celestia,
How’s it going? I guess I’m supposed to write you one of these things and report what I've ‘learned’. I really don’t see the point, but Twilight has been on my case lately. So I figured I’d write one to at least get her off my back.
Sorry about the bad penmanship on this. it was ‘mandatory’ that I write this with a quill. What’s wrong with a pen? Why couldn't I use one of those? Do you guys even have pens here? Your tech is all over the place, so it’s hard to figure if you guys invented a simple pen yet.
Anyway, it’s been a month since I ‘landed’ in this land and things have more or less peaceful around here. The people…eh ponies of this town have been rather eager to welcome their new resident. Though that was only after the stigma of me being from ‘not from around there’ wore off.
Now they seem bent on making up for lost time. Even going as far as throwing a celebration in my honor. As thanks for saving them and those three kids a while back. I swear, they’d find any reason to throw a party to celebrate something; especially with Pinkie being in charge of them. That girl would throw one whenever she found a missing sock, if she could.
If they only knew what I've been keeping out of town since I arrived. They’d be ‘honoring’ me three times a week. Maybe even go as far as building a statue or something. Bear in mind that I’m not mocking these folks. Rather I’m just surprised how carefree everyone is. Whatever you've done to keep this land so peaceful; don’t stop
Speaking of carefree, I've found someone here that’s as competitive as I am. Despite having a rather amused, yet fitting name; Dash has proven that even in times of peace and such. You can still be competitive and have fun while doing it. And let me tell you, that girl can move. She can do this trick that breaks the sound barrier she has rightfully dubbed the Sonic Rainboom. Dash claims she coined the name way before meeting me.
I've also met the other members that wield these elements that seem to hold this all powerful energy. The first one being Twilight, who has opened her home to me and was one of first of the group to give me a chance; despite my bad first impression. A few of the others have joke that I was just a new subject to study. Which other than a few questions regarding my diet, have yet to happen. Twilight has been a rather generous host and has been willing to asset me in understanding what goes on in this town. She also has this strange fondness about listening to me tell her of my past adventures.
Another friendly element holder I’ve met, is Rarity. She’s been just as generous as Twilight in regards of assisting me with thing in and around town. Thought’s gone a step further and gone out of her way to ensure that I always have a spare pair of shoes or gloves on hand. Stating that you never know when you tear a glove or lose a shoe. And that it would be ‘dreadful’ having to do without. I’ve asked her several times about this behavior, but she’s just passed it off as ‘that’s what friends do.’ Stressing the friend part a bit too much for my tastes. Rarity may feel guilty over her prior actions and is trying to find a way to atone for this.
I guess you could put Applejack in the same boat as Rarity. She too used to hate my guts and have no quorums about showing it; even telling Twilight that I was somehow deceiving her. Though after I saved Rainbow Dash and her sister, AJ has done a 180 in her personality and now seems to hold a great deal of respect for me. She even started calling me Sugarhog as of late. I suspect that she was originally scared of that creature I became and was trying to put on a tough face. Which I’m sure I can confirm or not if I just asked her. Applejack seems to have no trouble being straight me anything; as if she has no worried of offending someone if she says something that they might not want to hear.
Next is Pinkie Pie, that broad seems dead set on trying to surprise me at any cost. Getting some sort of thrill in seeing me react to her zany antics. She’s also taken a liking to spearing me whenever she can. Hey, I’m all for a friendly hug now and again, but not when it’s barreling at you like a freight train. Pinkie also seems to have this obsession over parties. I’m pretty sure it’s obvious, but it’s like she lives for it and seems to go with a sort of withdrawal when ever she’s not throwing one. Some of the others have mentioned that she can have some odd mood swings when not in some sort of ‘party mood’ and have suggested that I not avoid her; Which is impossible, since she seems to know exactly where I am. If I didn't know any better I’d say she put a tracking device on me.
And lastly there is Fluttershy. Like Twilight she was willing me give me a chance when we first meet; though it just may have been in her nature to help me. I’m not complaining, since it was thanks to her and Twilight that I’m able to send you this letter. Also for having ‘shy’ in her name, she seems to be anything but…at least when talking to me. I’ve been told that she acts differently around the others, but for some unexplained reason. She doesn’t have that skittish demeanor everyone keeps telling me about. Maybe it’s because I’m not from this land or that I’m not a candy colored talking pony. I don’t know, but she’s been more than happy to answer any questions I have on anything really. Fluttershy also seems to have this knack for disarming even a heated situation. Sometimes even between two animals of vastly greater size than her. Can she talk to animals of this realm? It would explain why they all frolic around her and why that little white rabbit keeps glaring at me whenever I come for a visit.
It’s more than strange that ponies are the dominate species here. I’m used to seeing other beings of various kinds milling about and going about their daily lives. Now I see these same animals content on eating grass, laying in the sunshine, or hanging out in a cave. I’d hate to see what this place would look like after a genobomb was dropped on it.
Also, I don’t know if it’s worth mentioning, but there seems to be a severe lack of males in this town. It’s not that it’s void of them, rather the females out number them 10 to 1. Is there some sort of war going on that explains this? Or am I missing something?
Other than that, I really have nothing else to say. I’m sure most of this is review and you have been kept in the loop on what’s been going on from the others. This is a nice you rule and I’ll try not to disturb that. I’m not sure if my residence here is permanent or if I will be able to return to where I came from. I guess that depends on if these elements are all what they’re cracked up to be or if your able to perform any sort of spell that would send me back. If you know of one, let me know.
-Sonic
-B: I recovered this letter in rather poor shape in east wing of the library. It appears to have been burnt, torn, crumpled up, and even spilled on. Also it should be noted that the first half doesn't match with the second. It as if someone else wrote the last half of this letter or that Sonic has gotten really good at using a quill. I don’t know if I’m just imaging things, but you’ll see soon enough when you receive this letter….if you receive this letter.
Lost Letters of Equestria
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
-Spike
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

Lost Letters of Equestria
Confessions of a confused unicorn
Dear Princess Celestia,
I have made a discovery, one that (if harnessed) could change the very way we live. But I’m getting ahead of myself on this; let me start from the beginning.
A while back, I welcomed a new guest into my home. A Pony…eh Hedgehog that is able to defy all the laws of physics, that is able to run at a speed that I or any pony for that matter was possible. At first I thought it was an effect of the seven mysterious emeralds he carried. However, this was proven false when Sonic’s speed hadn’t diminished in the slightest when no longer in possession of them.
So I theorized it had something to do with the nerve endings or muscle fibers present on Sonic’s legs, arms, and back. However, I wasn’t able to perform a indebt study on this without possible harming him. I did find myself captivated by the why moved. How they extended and retraced during normal movement or how where able to hold my weight and not appear to be strained. Or even, how despite not being bulky I still felt safe when held by them.
I seem to have lost my train of thought, my apologies.
After having my previous theory proven once again false, the next course of action I took was to measure any possible residual energy Sonic may possess. So I placed several monitoring devices on him and attempted to pin point any anomalies. However upon doing so, I discovered that Sonic possessed a great deal of magical energy that may even surpass your own, princess.
So it must be inert and only come into play when combined with the emeralds he possesses. However, if a pony was able to harness this power or even posses their own well of this type of magic. It would increases the possibilities a thousand fold. Though it would put great strain on the user and would require them to monitor their output; less they risk serious injury.
During my study I have learned much about Sonic. Things about his culture: What he can recall anyway. What life on his planet is like, the ones that inhabit it, and how he’s been trying to keep it safe.
If only Sonic would open up to me as I have with him. I believe he could overcome these deep seeded emotions that he’s been keeping bottled up for all this time. Thought that might be what keeps him strong and not be reduced to a blubbering mess when faced with the possibility great failure.
However, I may be over thinking this and I may just want to have another reason to spend time with him. As Sonic as so colorfully stated ‘I wear my heart on my sleeve’. Which I guess means that I’m rather open about my feelings. Though that would imply that he’s aware of this ever growing attachment I’ve starting feeling towards him.
Which begs the question; Do I still only see Sonic as a new subject to study and learn from, has he become somepony I can rely on…a friend, or is it something else?
I doubt I only see him as a mere subject to study, which could only mean that I see him a friend…or maybe I've begun to…
No that’s nonsense, what could Sonic see in me that surpasses what the others have? I’m not very athletic nor am I skilled in the art of fashion. I can barely cook and I’m barely able to take care of myself. Plus, I’m not very attractive; at least when compared to the others.
Perhaps I've put too much thought into this matter or its just wishful thinking that the possibility exists.
This may require more study. I’m not familiar with this sort of thing and I doubt I would be able to ask any of my friends, without tipping them off to what I was trying to accomplish.
Some advice on the matter would really help, but I understand that I need to figure this out on my own.
Still, a small hint couldn’t hurt.
You’re faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle
*B: This letter is all but a straight confession of Twilight’s feelings. At least that’s how I see it. I’d go more into it, but it doesn't seem right that I of all people would give her advice on the matter; When I can’t even bring myself to act on my own feelings.
I discovered this letter in the eastern wing of the library. Buried in a pile of other scrolls; ranging from simple shopping lists to poorly written poetry.

The mysterious 'B' finds another letter written by everyone's favorite lavender mare. Originally starting as a simple report, it soon turned into a full blow analysis of Twilight's feelings.
I tried to make it appear as if Twilight attempted not to ramble on certain subject, but utterly failed at the end.

Lost Letters of Equestria
Dear Princess Celestia,
Now before ah start. Could ya kindly disregard that last letter I sent ya? Ah wasn’t in a very good mood when ah had Spike write that. So if you would just forget about it. That would be most appreciated.
Anyway, it seems ah may have jumped to conclusions a bit too soon. As ah mentioned in my last letter (yes, ah know I told ya to forget about it, but referring to it will save us both a lot of time) Ah was questioning Twilight’s decision to help fella that just attacked us. Rather than just leave him, as Rarity and ah had suggested. Originally ah just figured that Twi was just rattled from the confrontation earlier and despite her better judgment, was going to question our former attacker.
Not something unusual for Twilight, but ah still didn’t like it.
However, when she asked Fluttershy to start patching him up. Ah plum lost it. Knowing that Flutters was going to help him regardless of what we all thought didn’t surprise me. It was that somepony who I thought had more common sense that some of us would ask for such a thing.
Looking back at it now, ah feel lower than a rattle snakes belly. Despite being told my Sonic himself not to worry about it. Ah still can’t shake the feelin’. Here is a fella who at time could barely stand much less walk went and risked his very life to save some ponies that he didn’t even know. And ah feel like a piece of trash. This guy saved one of my best friends, my home, and even my own kin and I treated him like crap.
If there was any way to show Sonic that ah am sorry, that ah forgive him. Ah wouldn’t think twice to do it. As suborn as ah get at times. Ah’m a big enough mare to admit when ah’m wrong.
Ah know Sonic has forgiven me and all of us for that matter on how we all treated him in the beginning. But will we be able to forgive ourselves. Ah hope that in time it comes to pass, because whenever ah look into those bright green eyes of his. The way ah treated Sonic before comes rushing right back.
Would asking him to dinner sound too forward? Fella could use a home cooked meal after what’s he's been through. .

-PS:
*B: Not all of us can make a great first impression. I too mistook Sonic for an enemy when we first met. Something that I very glade was not true. Rest easy Applejack, by the time I’ve come in contact with letter, Sonic will have already forgiven you and from the looks of it you will have forgiven yourself.
*Letter was found in the ‘lessons unlearned’ box for some reason. Honestly, I can’t figure out why it as in there and not sent to you. Perhaps I should ask Twilight about it.

Lost Letters of Equestria
Dear Princess Celestia,
How are things? I bet you’ve been really busy with all those princess things you have to do. Do you ever take a vacation? I bet you know a lot of neat places and stuff. Oh sorry, Spike is giving me the eye, I guess I should get to the reason I’m sending you this letter.
A lot of things have happened since I last sent you one of these. I’m sure the other have all told you this by now, but encase they didn’t I’ll get you the short version. Dashie got possessed by those shinny rocks Spiky had, was saved by Spiky, and then saved everypony when he stopped a pack of Timber Wolves that had chanced the CMC into town.
Golly, that wasn’t short at all. I guess I had more to report than I thought.
Anyway, Dashie and Spiky went to see those stunt fliers. I think they’re called the Wonderbolts. Dash claims it wasn’t a date, but I know better. She’s been crushing on Spiky since he saved her from the yellow scary glowy thing that controlling her like a puppet.
I wish I knew how it went, since neither Dashie nor Spiky seemed eager to talk about it. But something must have happened, because Gilda came back with them. She was a mea n grumpy pants last time, but now it’s different. Gilda apologized to everypony and asked if we could all start over. I was more than thrilled with the idea, since it meant I had another friend and more friends means more parties! Yay!
Of course I’m happy Gilda and Dashie are friends again, I knew they were friends long before any of us were. What ever happened, I’m sure Sonic had a hoof in the matter. How else would have those two made up? I mean Dashie is always so suborn and I think it’s safe to assume the same applies to Gilda.
Hm, maybe I should introduce Spiky to my folks. Maybe it will bring some color to that so-so home they all share. Seriously, why is it always browns and grays with them? My older sis once told me that when I was born my parents thought the nurse brought them the wrong foal. I never knew my parents had a sense of humor.
But if I were to bring Spiky to meet my parents, they’d probably assume we were a couple, then ask if we were married, and then demand grandchildren. *Gasp!* I’d actually be ok with the first one, the second and third not so much. I have way too many things I want to do; throw more parties, meet other ponies, and did I mention parties? I don’t think I did.
Oh, I did it again didn’t I? Hm, maybe I’m starting to see him the same way some of the others do.
Na that’s silly, Spiky is my friend. A pony doesn’t date her friends. Unless *gasp* Spiky isn’t my friend. Then that would mean that I’m not his friend and…
Spike has just told me I’m being ridiculous. That if we weren’t friends. Spiky wouldn’t have saved all of us and stuff. Boy, am I just a silly filly today. Maybe I have that thing Twilight was talking about. Was it marbles? No I lost all those a long time ago. Over hyper activity? Na, that’s not it either. What was it? Oh, I remember now. It was lovesickness. Ugh! That’s not it either. I think Twilight has that, but not me.
Hm, I guess I’ll have to get back to you on that.

*Spike: I believe the word you were thinking of is ‘yearning’. But I just think that’s because you value Sonic as a friend.
*B: No spike, its ‘closeness’or that they've formed a bond. Pinkie is obviously rather attached to Sonic and is curious if it’s a close friendship or something else.
*Letter was found between several cook books.

Lost Letters of Equestria
Dear Princess Celestia,
Normally I’d give you a quick recap on what’s been going on and what I’ve ‘learned’, but rather than repeat what you’ve probably already heard a dozen times now. I’m going to cut to the chase.
I need you advice on something.
A few days ago, Sonic and I went to a Wonderbolts show in Cloudsdale. Nothing out of the ordinary, just some of the high ranking members entertaining the crowd; not saying it wasn’t amazing, but Its getting really hard not to start gushing at the moment. So you’ll have to excuse me if I sound a bit short with you.
Anyway, as we’re leaving, I spot the Elite division of Wonderbolt fliers standing a few yards away sighing autographs, posing for pictures, you know the usual thing. I of course hold my composure and attempted to head back to Ponyville. However, Sonic has a different idea and casually walks up to and begins to chat with them like there old friends. And no, that’s not the weirdest part. (It’s gets a lot stranger) Spitfire, Soarin, and the others start crowding around him. Even Surprise seems to want to talk to Sonic. (Who now that I think about it; looks a lot like Pinkie Pie. I have to remember to ask her if she has a cousin or something) And to top things off Fleetfoot gives Sonic a big warm hug and nuzzles him like he’s one of her colt friend.
What the hay happened?
So anyway, it turns out that when Sonic saved everypony a while back from those timber wolves that the squirt and her friends led into town. Fleetfoot just happened to be at the local hospital recovering from a training accident that she was involved in just outside of town a few days ago. Why she wasn't sent to Cloudsale or more importantly why I didn’t know about her being in town; will forever be a mystery.
To make a long story short, helping a Wonderbolt (even if it’s indirectly); gets some mad respect from the other members. And since Fleetfoot is one of the Elite; Sonic probably could have become an honorary member if he had asked. But instead he just brushed it off and posed for a few pictures.
To say it was a foolish chose, is an understatement.
Anyway, we have a few laughs; I get to shakes hooves with some of the best fliers in Equestria and really kick it off. Plus, I get a pretty much guarantee that I’ll be chosen to attend the Wonderbolts training camp later this year.
How awesome is that?
If this had just ended there, I probably would have gone into some more detail. However, fate can be a real jerk sometimes.
Just as we’re getting reading to leave, the one pony I really didn’t feel like talking to shows up; Gilda. Now at first I just tryed to brush her off. Since I really don’t have any interest in talk to my former friend and flight buddy.
However, Sonic seems to think we want to make up. And to my utter surprise, Gilda agrees. She goes on to say that ever since that party we threw her a while back; that ended in tragedy btw. Has wanted to apologize and make amends. I’m all for this and we rekindle our friendship and agree to try again.
Ten brownie Points for you, Sonic.
Though, this wasn’t what I meant about ‘fate being a jerk.’
Just as we are having a moment, the three stooges (as Sonic so humorously put it) show up and demand that I race them for bragging rights on who the fastest flier is. I’m at first reluctant to agree, but I soon figured that they wouldn’t leave me alone unless I raced them.
So we line up and well race one another. I of course pull ahead and get an early lead. The slime ball that is known as Dumbbell; decides to play dirty and tries to force me to throw the race by knocking Sonic off the cloud he was standing on.
So, just as that piece of cow crap thinks he's won, by using one of the cheapest tricks in the book. Sonic ended up chasing after him and his dimwitted friends; while in the strange mode of his. If whatever was controlling Sonic wasn’t trying to kill those idiots, I probably would have sat back and laughed.
However, when it starts tearing building apart and starts using them as improvised hoof balls. Then I knew I had to take action. Yeah there jerks and probably deserve the beating that was coming to them, but not get killed over it.
Gilda seemed to share the sentiment and tries to stop him; even going hoof to hoof with the possessed Sonic. However, even the might of the griffins wasn’t enough to stop him and she too almost became that monsters prey.
Seeing the possibility of losing one of my newly renewed long time friendships; sent me over the edge. I honestly can’t recall what happened, but the first thing I recall is being held by Sonic and Gilda as we descended towards the ground.
As expected, we land and Sonic runs off; claiming that he was too dangerous. Gilda and I try to stop him, but we decide to give him some space. So we return to Cloudsdale and end up talking to a few of the royal guard. This is the time that Gilda decides to tell me that I too was possessed my that ‘thing’ that was controlling Sonic and almost killed him as a result.
Hearing this, I decided to go after him. Despite what previous thoughts on giving Sonic some space. And to my surprise, Gilda joins me.
We end up finding Sonic in Trottingham hanging out with Trixie at some fancy dinner on the edge of town. Apparently she was treating Sonic to lunch for something….I didn’t ask.
To put is simply, we all make up and head back to Ponyville. Where Gilda apologizes to everypony and proved that she just made a bad first impression.
Sounds like somepony else I know.
So what I need advice on is what should I do if that ‘thing’ takes control of me again? I don’t want to hurt anypony while I’m being used as some sick twisted puppet. I’ve made Sonic promise to take extreme measures if all else fails, but I don’t want to put that on some pony.
I’m at a loss here; I really don’t know what to do here.

Uncertain Emotions
Dear Princess Celestia,
Hello, I uh know I haven't sent you a letter in a while and apologize for that. I've been rather busy with a few matters. Not to say keeping you informed of what's going on isn't important. Rather there is just so much going on.
I recently had a few new arrivals and boy are they a hoof full. Being of a predatory class, they tend to feel the need to hunt for their food; rather than take what I've tried giving them. It may be that food is scarce where they typically originate or maybe some bad pony has been trying to give them something they shouldn't be eating.
Oh my, I started to ramble. I'm sure you're probably not interested in the dietary habits of my new animal friends. Perhaps some of Pinky Pies tendencies are starting to rub off on me. That is slightly disturbing if true.
Anyway, things have been rather calm in the recent weeks. Our new friend has started familiarizing himself with the town and the locals. Sonic seems rather determined to at least speak with everypony in town to some extent. Perhaps it's some coping mechanism that he's exhibiting to get past whatever terrible series of events that's brought him here.
I do hope it wasn't something serious. What kind of pony could bring such pain and suffering to such a gentle stallion? I mean hedgehog. Though, judging by how Sonic has been reluctant to speak of what brought him here. It can't be pleasant.
Perhaps it's not my place to pry and that I should just wait till Sonic is willing to share with us what brought him to us and why he's been so distant as of late. While also at the same time trying to compensate for this and being overly helpful at times. Sonic rebuilt the chicken coop that was damaged when he got here and has been more that willing to help out any pony he can.
Maybe that's how all those rumors about Sonic dating most of the mares in town originated. Somepony is probably jealous that he's making them look bad. Not that I believe them mind you, I just find the whole concept rather amusing since Sonic and Twilight are a thing...as least I think they are. Why does that uncertainty make me feel bad?
I have a lot to think about, so until next time.
The element of Generosity,
Fluttershy
Ps. I do hope I didn't take up too much of your time reading this letter.
B: It's ok to be worried about a friend. However, it's not to assume things you don't fully understand. Perhaps you should ask Sonic about this uncertainty to you have. At least that's what I would do.
The letter was found with the others, though it appears this one was never reopened.
Author's Note
Ponyville's animal caretaker sends the princess a letter regarding her few friends and some concerns she has with a certain blue hedgehog. What other insightful inquiries do the rest of the mane 6 have? Find out next time.
~Please note, that this letter occurred before Sonic meet Celestia. And up until Twilight denied it. Everyone pretty much assumed Sonic and Twilight where a thing...to some extent.
After forgetting about this for almost two years, Lost letters are back. Doing these helped keep me motivated while working on the first arc. So, I figured I'd give these another try.
Let me know what you think in the comment section below.
Lost Letters of Equestria
Dear Princess Celestia,
How are things in Canterlot? Word on the grapevine is that the fall fashions are now rolling in. You should reconsider my offer to design your Gala dress this year. You seemed to be reluctant on choosing something last year and went with your casual wear.
An event as prestigious as this demands more than what you'd wear any day of the week and...oh forgive me, princess. I have been working on my new fashion line and its hard to switch mindsets when you're on a roll. But these letters need to be written, and I know if I didn't write one now. It would have completely slipped my mind.
So, how are things with you? I hope things are going well. They are certainly are here in little ole Ponyville. Remeber my friend I told you about in my last letter? The one from another world and such? Of course, you have, I'm sure the others have been talking about him nonstop in there letters. Sonic seems to be a hot button topic as of late, and I can see why.
He seems to be always on the move. Like he ceases to exist if he stopped. And it doesn't take an expert to see it's to keep the mind on something else. Call it mare's intuition, but it seems like Sonic is hiding something.
Perhaps things aren't going so well with Twilight, and he's seeking out another mare. Though, that would be a shame. Since they just got together, but I can see how Sonic would want somepony more...shall we say active. Maybe, that why he's been hanging around Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie so often. But then that doesn't explain why he's been seen paling around with Fluttershy.
Hm, that's something to think about and a topic for another day.
Well, when Sonic wants a real mare and stops playing pretend. He knows where to find me...or you for that matter. Or perhaps both. Oh, how interesting that would be, but also highly unlikely. He strikes me as an individual who's rather set on monogamy. Which I can respect and would certainly explain why he hasn't built himself a herd with the amount of fan he's got.
Oh, listen to me ramble. I'm sure you have more important things to worry about than the haps on our little town. Though, I do suggest you stop by for an improv visit. Seeing Twilight freak out would surely make the trip worth it right there. And you'd get to visit our new friend first hoof. Instead of through all these, I'm sure dreadfully repetitive letters.
Chow darling, until the next letter.
The Element of Generosity,
Rarity
B: Words can't describe how much of a headache I received while reading this letter. Where you always this pretentious and so eager to talk down to others to make yourself look good. Or do you only act this the way when writing these? I'm sensing a pattern here and can see why this one never made it. It makes you look like an egomaniac who only cares for yourself.
Lost Letters of Equestria
Dear Princess Celestia,
I send you this letter, not to report a lesson on friendship. But to inform you of a possible flood of reports that may be heading your way. As you probably have noticed by my handwriting, I'm not not of your faithful student or any of her pony friends. Rather I am currently staying at your faithful student's home for the time being.
This message is in response to a large cash of reports I discovered when I was helping Twilight clean her house. Some were found behind tables, on shelves, or even in drawers. However, I found a most in a box labeled 'Lesson unlearned.' When asked about this, your student informed me that they were lesions/reports her and the other bearers of the elements. Felt should be kept private and shouldn't be submitted.
Twilight has instructed me to incinerate these reports, since they are no longer relevant and are now just taking up space. So, now I sit here writing this letter. With a box of other to burn. Informing you if my discovery, in case of the possibility that these are made of some sort of magic paper and will be send to you when burned.
Please don't think any sort of disrespect or ill-content was ment when keeping these from you. I believe some of the content on these, weren't written when the individual was in the right mind set. And after reading a few, I can only confirm 'that' being the case with most of these.
So, I send you this. In the same fashion as the others. Whether is gets to you or not. Will confirm my theory.

Lost Letters of Equestria
Dear Princess Celestia,
Pardon me for being blunt, but have ya taught of morals and common sense to our friend Twi? No pony is perfect, but when a usually smart one makes a rather dumb decision. I have ta ask why.
Twilight has made her share of mistakes (we all have), but when she insists that we harbor the very varmint that just attacked us and even insist we treat his injures. That's going too far. If it were me, i'd of left that thing in the mess it made for it self and contacted the nearest guard and had them handle it.
I dunno if Twi has told ya yet, but this spiky yellow...now blue thing crashed into one of Fluttershy's chicken huts and then attacked us when we went to see what happened. Now I understand Ponyville's animal lover wanting to help this thing out, but not Twi. She's usually got a bit more sense then that.
Which is why I'm sending ya this letter. Before Twi was able to over power this thing. She seemed to in some sorta daze and looked a bit troubled when I knocked her to her senses. So maybe, what ever Twilight witnesses in this 'daze.' Messed up her head a bit some.
Could ya kindly look into it and let me know what you find. I'll be keeping my eye on him and maybe we can figure out whats going on here.
The bearer of the Element of honesty,
Applejack
