Dear Ms. Snapple,
I miss getting to see you over the summer, I got up this morning and thought that I was coming to Crystal High School and going to see you early in the morning like usual. Then I remembered that school ended June 6th when we traveled through time and fought in the Equestrian War that will happen in the future. That was fun, like the time that you and I went together, that was a total accident; I went to go see you at lunch soon finding you outside, pouncing on you, that was an accident waiting to happen.
I remember the first day of school, it was a semi great day. I met great teachers, my English and Journalism teacher before lunch happened. I couldn't believe that lunch was at 10:20am, I have always been use to lunch being at 11 or 12 in the afternoon. I got to see Stardella again, which was great. But the real interesting part of my day was when I first met you.
Ms. Snapple was what you introduced yourself as, I thought that is was interesting that you were named after a tea company in my favorite television show My Little Human, it was interesting. Then you went through that game that I learned back in my elementary school years in Ms. Cheerlie's class, two truths and one lie. I told you that I loved to write, I loved to draw, and I played an instrument. When every pony in my class said that my love for writing was a lie. Black Ninja knew the lie, I guess with her being my friend, she didn't want to give out the answer, maybe.
I couldn't believe that you thought that the love for writing was the lie as well; I just thought that you were completely nuts. Not like I know that right now as I got to know you.
I also remember when I first stayed after school. Yes, the first time I stayed after school was when I was absent my first time in high school and I missed a lab in your class. That was also the day that you had forgotten that you had a meeting that day, so you and I went through that lab together that normally would take a whole class period, only took us at least five minutes. You went onto your meeting and I went home. My mom thought I was joking around with her when I told her that we were done, but she came and got me when I called her anyways.
Oh, oh! Do you remember the day that I thought that I had lost my phone, when it was on the bus. I was sitting with my friends outside, I went looking through my backpack and couldn't find my phone where I thought that I last saw it. I saw you in the hallway before first period started, you looked at me and seemed to notice that something was wrong with me.
When you asked me what was wrong, I explained to you as best that I could as I was crying. I'm now embarrassed by this encounter but I was just so scared. My mom had told me the first time I held my phone in my hoof that if I were to lose my phone, I wouldn't get a new one until my two year contract was over. You calmed me down enough so then I wouldn't have looked like a total mess for first period, you told me where I could go to see where my phone was.
I followed your instructions and found out that I had just dropped my phone on the bus floor and my bus driver found it. I thank you for noticing that something was wrong and helping me through my dilemma. I think I was exaggerating this a little that I thought that I was going to die if you didn’t help me out that morning, but it was something that I do thank you for.
Oooo! There also was the time that I first came to eat lunch in your classroom. I was mad at Stardella that she was leaving me behind, from what it seemed like, and I was overreacting a little bit. But before I figured that all out I needed a room that I could be in where I couldn’t have the possibility to kill some pony. I asked you that morning if I could stay and you reluctantly responded, “Sure! It’s only me at lunchtime anyways. You can come.”
I came into your room at lunch, we talked for a little while. It was a little awkward, we didn’t really talk about anything much. It was weird, but I guess that was because we had just met face to face only a few times. That was only because it was for the lab that I had missed and then when I had lost my phone, maybe I was a little embarrassed still about the whole crying session. Or maybe because I usually don’t talk to new ponies that I had just met very often, and how uncomfortable it is for me.
It was a great day for me, but the next day I saw Stardella and she dragged me to her teacher’s classroom and we talked for a bit. That’s when I found out that this whole dilemma was all on me. I just felt alone and felt left out from things that I got upset. I didn’t come into your classroom for lunch for a few days and Stardella was still going to her teacher, I finally gave up and came back, knowing that it was going to be a lost cause that I was going to see her again.
I came back and the awkward conversations became normal, and not weird. Soon they were actual conversations that weren’t on life and school. Soon I rescued Firestar from all the boring ponies on A days and brought her to you. It was great that I saw you two interacting. But the conversation was all about siblings, which was okay, I don’t mind ranting on my little brother.
Soon our secret meetings were discovered or were told to other ponies and all my friends; Stardella, Timeless Crash, Cora, Angel Von Valentine, and Black Ninja; they started coming to your classroom. It used to just be you and I, until the numbers grew into four, then to five, then to the greatest of almost what seemed like ten! I minded at first, but then when I caught onto the concept, I started thinking that this was a great idea. I could see my friends again before they were going to leave me behind.
Oh, oh, oh and the time that you and I traveled through the time! That was awesome, getting to see what I would become in the future. Although that it was a bad future, and I almost ran away from you having you leave me in that time to think about my life. Even though I left you behind, you still went looking for me; either knowing that I could cause utter chaos, or that you didn’t want to leave me behind. I saved your life, saved you from disappearing from the world.
Then I saved you again from a Dalek extermination with the power that I had when the doctor came to Crystal High. Then we traveled through time with him as well. We found out that you were part time lord, which is completely awesome! My science teacher who is a fan of Doctor Whooves was part time lord herself, and she was mine. Oh hell yeah.
Oh, do you remember the pep rally? And I had to be there? I had never been so nervous in my life, singing in front of the whole school twice! Oh Celestia, that was so scary. I remember you hoping that you didn't have to go to that, but you jinxed it and had to go anyways. For the first round at 6th period my teacher was out of his room and I needed a place to go; so I came into your room after the performance and watched 2012 with your class. That was a very interesting movie to watch.
Then the second one came around at 8th period, your planning period. You were forced to go, and I was forced to stay. But during the performance I could see the top of your head as I was singing, and I had become even more nervous. I don't know the reasoning behind it, but I completely freaked out. When we finished, and as soon as the pep rally was over, I ran into your classroom to hear your reaction. I went into your classroom and you were GONE! I sat outside with Black Sheep until the bell rang for dismissal.
I asked you when we returned from Spring break how you reacted. You told me that is was a great perfomace, and that you were only paying attention to the band and chorus groups, you weren't interested in all the other who haw that was going on.
And then there was the Senior graduation, my mom, nor friends were coming to this performance because it was for the seniors parents only. Well, I felt alone for weeks, knowing that none of my family was coming to see me sing. But then when you said that you were being forced into going to the graduation of the seniors, I was happy knowing there was going to be some pony there that I knew. Thank you for being there, even though it was forced, thank you for being there.
Well, let me stop looking back at the times that had happened and let me get to the real point of this letter. I want to thank you for all that you did this school year for me. Being there when I needed it, helping me through Physical Science, helping me enjoy science once again, and then letting me barge into your classroom after school and talk with you one on one.
If I was still mad at Stardella and we never talked together again, and I didn’t come and see you, I probably wouldn’t have never liked Stardella again. We would have never met, I wouldn’t have become a fan of the doctor, or that I would have accomplished my story. There had to be that one character that you wouldn’t expect to make such an impact, making things right within a group.
You will always be a part of my life, being a first year teacher yourself; possibly you were lucky to get such amazing students, and some that didn’t give a damn. But you were possibly lucky to get students that cared, like me, Stardella, Timeless Crash, Golden, Super Junior, and so many other ponies that I just can’t name.
I have to end my letter now, Doctor Whooves is coming on now. But let me just say this, you are an amazing mare, with so many dreams. Never let that go, don’t let any pony bring you down, EVER! Thank you for coming to Crystal High on my first year at this school, and having such a wonder class with me getting lucky and having that class. Thank Celestia is was that one…
Never give up who you are Ms. Snapple, you’ll always be awesome! I’ll never forget you and your weird facts that you always shared with us. They were weird, but I remember them, and I hope to never lose that.
Your student,
Crystal Feather
Crystal Feather put down her pen and started to fold the sheet of paper, placing it into the envelope sitting on the desk.
I hope that she will enjoy this. I can only hope.
She got up from her desk and put the letter in the mailbox, sending the letter to Crystal High School, room 320.
Crystal laid down in her bed, and smiled. She was happy to write a letter to her teacher, the one that got her into the doctor, the one with the weirdest facts, the one that she could consider a friend.
At the school the next day, Ms. Snapple was sitting at her desk, preparing for her new students. There came a knock at the door. She got up from her desk and opened the door.
"There was this letter in your mailbox. I didn't really look at who it was from, but it seems like something that you should read now!" one of the other teachers in the same pod room with Ms. Snapple informed.
I hope that this is not one of those, me getting fired letters again.
Ms. Snapple looked at the letter and saw on the back was a feather shaped stamp on the back of the letter. She stared at the letter for a long time, knowing who it was.
Why would Crystal be writing me a letter? Why would she do something like this? Is everything okay?
Ms. Snapple opened the letter, carefully tearing it open trying not to tear the feather. She opened the letter finally, and began to read.
