Story starts here.


Sweetie Belle starts writing a letter, late at night. She's illuminated only by the light of a single candle.

        Hello there. My name's Sweetie Belle, does that bring back any memories? I still remember those days spent with you. My memory isn't perfect, but I can still remember all those adventures we used to go on. All those warm days spent doing nothing but lounging under a tree, thinking of things to do in the future. I'm writing to you because I need help. If you haven't changed much, I know you'll help.


Sweetie pauses, thinking of other things to say, when she realizes a simple fact; she doesn't remember the name of who she's writing to. It had been years since she'd lived in Ponyville. At first she had stayed in touch with her friends from Ponyville, but eventually, they had simultaneously stopped writing to each other.
