Rainbow DashView OnlineThe New YearRainbow DashDear Rainbow Dash, Hey, daredevil. This year, I learned about your loyalty. Thank you for sticking with me, er, us through all these years. Thanks for your devotion to our friendship, and to all of us. You're the fastest pony I know, both on land and sky. I apologize for any inconvenience I've given you. You are an amazing Pegasus, and pony in general; what with you claiming victory in the Best Young Flyer Competition and being personally acknowledged by the Wonderbolts themselves, being accepted into Wonderbolt Academy. And, to add, I'm so happy that you'd decided to start reading Daring Do! Oh, spoiler alert; Daring Do meets her long-lost sister! Just kidding. Haha! I hope you fulfill your dream of joining that aerial team this year, and we'll be here with you every step of the way. I love you, Dash, and Happy New Year! Your (I'll say this once) "egghead," Twilight P.S. Wish Scootaloo a Happy New Year from me as well, would you? And good luck finding her super special talent. She really adores you like a sister she never had, you know. Be nice to her this year! Hahaha!
FluttershyView OnlineThe New YearFluttershyDear Fluttershy, This year, I learned about your kindness. Your compassion is an important part of me and the rest of us alike. I really am thankful for you. I remember the first time I met you, you were incredibly shy of me, as I was new and I probably forced you to speak (sorry about that, by the way). *laugh* And then, when you saw Spike, you perked up so much! Now that I know you better, I look back at how wrong I was before with by judgmental assumptions thinking you were such a doormat. …… Sorry, Fluttershy, you kind of still are. . . . But, don't get me wrong! It's a great quality of yours! You're very forgiving. But I understand your difficulties in socializing. I was once like that too, before I met you too. I hope you boost your self confidence this year (you have a lot to be confident in). Happy New Year! I love you. Your friend, Twilight
ApplejackView OnlineThe New YearApplejackDear Applejack, This year, I learned about honesty from you. You are the most hardworking pony I know, always there to help when others need it. And you're modest, too. You also have a lot of care for your family, and I admire the amount of sacrifice you're willing to take for Granny Smith, Applebloom, and Big Macintosh. You really are "Apples to the core." You're always so energetic, despite the amount of work I know you do. You hold a lot of passion for you job, no matter how dirty you get in the process. You know when to have fun, and you know when to be serious. You always care about others as well. Others may see you as a run-down country bumpkin, but we'll always see you as our friend, no matter what. Oh, and I'm sorry you weren't able to use that huge apple you took so long to grow in the fair. It really shows the extent you'd go to help a friend. Thanks, I love you, and Happy New Year. Best wishes to the farm and orchard. Your friend, Twilight P.S. Send my best wishes to your family as well, and luck to Appleblooms for her cutie mark
Pinkie PieView OnlineThe New YearPinkie PieDear Pinkie Pie, This year, Pinkie, I learned to laugh. First off, I wanna say, you throw the best parties ever! You're always so upbeat and positive towards everything, and you're always there for a good laugh when we're feeling down. I thought you were a weird, annoying, uncontrollable lunatic when we first met. Never have I been so wrong. I'm so grateful to have you by my side this year and all the years ahead. You always know when someone's feeling down and you always know how to comfort them. You always remember everything about everypony, because you're friends with ~~about~~ everypony in Ponyville. I cross that out because you're actually friends with everypony in Ponyville. Thanks for everything, Pinkie, I love you, and Happy New Year. Love, Twilight P.S. You make awesome baked goods!

Surprise, Twilight!View OnlineThe New YearSurprise, Twilight!Dear Twilight, Surprise! Didn't think we'd write back did you? This year we learned about the magic of friendship, from you, Twilight. ー Hello, Twilight, I just want to say thank you as well for everything you've brought into my life ever since you arrived in Ponyville. Not to mention you gave me clients in the glamorous Canterlot for my Carousel Boutique, and because of that, sales for my outfits have skyrocketed! Thank you, Twilight. ー Ha! You finally admit you're an egghead Twilight! I knew you knew all along! And of course I'm a great Pegasus; I'm awesome! Oh, and you mentioned that thing about Scootaloo. . . . Thanks for telling me that, egghead. I didn't think she looked up to me like that. You gave me new friends to turn to, Twilight. Thanks. ー Hi, Twilight. Um. . . . Thank you for everything this year a-and, you won't believe how happy I am that you, understand and accept my unassertiveness. I think you've really opened me up Twilight, and I want to thank you for that. I haven't really opened up to anyone since you came to Ponyville, and you've cracked my shell. Thank you, Twilight. I look forward to spending the new year with you. That is, if you don't mind.... ー Howdy, Twilight! Listen, ah'm real touch by this here letter ya gave me. Yer a great friend, and you've opened mah heart to a lot of amazin' things ah hadn't seen, like friendship. Back 'fore ya came around these parts, ah was all caught up in work and mah family that ah hadn't really had a chance ta make friends. Then, when y'all showed up, ah began warmin' up to folks. Thanks, Twi. ー HEY TWILIGHT! OMG, I was so happy when you sent me this letter that I wanted to throw you a super huge, mega fun, terrifically amazingly terrific party to thank you because just saying thank you is boring because I couldn't just say "thank you" after all you've given me because thank you isn't enough. You're one of my bestest friends ever, Twilight and I really couldn't thank you enough for everything you've done for me. Gosh, I don't think a party is even enough! Maybe I should- ー Okay, that's enough, Pinkie. We all know what'll happen if we just let you continue with this; we wouldn't get a turn! Hey Twilight! Howdy, Twilight! Hi, Twilight! Thanks for wishing us luck on finding our cutie marks! For your information, we're gonna get our cutie marks this year, if it's the last thing we do! ー Thank you, Twilight. For everything. We all love you. Happy New Year. Love, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweeite Belle
