Nightflight

"Ugh. Who the hay comes to visit me now?"Rainbow Dash muttered to herself as she slowly walked down the stairs to the hall.She opened her door and was about to cast a snarky comment to the pony that stood there, but shut her mouth when she saw who actually stood in the doorway.

"Oh. Hi Luna," she said. Remembering their talk she was focusing on not calling Luna by her titel.

"Am I coming at an unpleasant time,Rainbow Dash?"

"Um, kind of, but I'm not asleep yet, so come on in." Rainbow Dash gestured to the kitchen as she stepped back, allowing the alicorn to step inside. They both took a seat, and after a few minutes of silence Rainbow Dash spoke up.

"So, what did you come here for?" She asked. Luna, who seemingly had been deep in thought, shaked her head and and cleared her throat.

"Yes. I was meaning to visit you just for a pleseant small talk, and I also wanted to congratulate you."

"Congratulate me?"

"Yes. The decision to confess such a dark truth is quite brave, if you ask me."Luna waited for a response, and when none came, she asked a question she'd been exalted to find an answer to. "Have you learned something from this?"

"Learned something?" Rainbow was confused, but then it hit her. It felt like the letters Twilight used to send to Celestia."Actually, I have. I've learned that bottling up your emotions is not healthy, for anyone. Not for yourself, nor for the ones around you. When it feels like no one knows or can understand, when you are filled with grief, pain and sadness, you should try talk anyways. It'll get better. And if you're afraid, there's still someone who will at least try to understand. In the end, the shadow haunting you will be gone." When she thought back on what she said, Rainbow was satisfied. It reflected how she had felt greatly. She looked upon Luna, who nodded approvingly.

"Very good, Rainbow Dash. Well, I have a request." Luna cleared her throat and unfolded her wings. She stood up and looked down at a Rainbow Dash. "Will you, Rainbow Dash, accept my request as experimentally spy reporter of the development of a pony's character, easily put, will you report to me when you or your friends learns something about each other that may change the behavior of your group?"

"Um, yes. I mean, of course, Luna!"

"Good. Now Rainbow Dash, this is just an little experiment of mine, that I came up with after our little 'chat'. In which means,no deadlines, or lines that can be crossed. You can choose to tell your friends if you want, or you can keep this a secret. The choice is yours." Rainbow sat in silence for a while, processing what had happened. When she was done, a smile of excitement and joy was plastered upon her face.

"I won't let you down! And by the way, how am I gonna send the letters to you? I figured this is like the way Twilight and princess Celestia worked, and she had Spike, so, is Tank gonna get super awesome powers or what?" Rainbow imagined Tank being able to breathe fire, and the mere thought made her giggle and also feel a little unsure if Tank was accidentally gonna burn down her house.

"I was not thinking in those ways, but I have an answer to your question. I brought a jar with magical seals, so the moment you seal the letters with one of these, it will be sent straight to my bedroom. I am really happy that you would accept this little quest of mine, but I must leave now. May our paths cross soon, Rainbow." The alicorn gave Rainbow a hug and gracefully soared trough the open window, out in the night sky. When Luna was nothing but a dot in the distance, she turned away from the window and grabbed a quill and a bit of paper, sat herself down on the chair at her writing desk and began her first report.

Dear princess Luna...
