The Journal of Lysa

Twilight and Apple Jack both returned to their homes, explaining to their families or in Twilight's case a rather worried Spike. Both began to collect items like pillows and blankets, and in Twilight's case simple books. The two mares met in town square prepared with the already collect items and bits. They had decided to get fresh foods that wouldn't go bad from the market that day, so they would be the freshest it could be. Twilight had even insisted on getting some possible art supplies, quills, ink and, she put extra importance on the last item, journals. When Apple Jack asked why she replied simply with, "It helps to write your thoughts down on paper from time to time."

Lysa took a deep breath. "You ok Lil?" she asked. Her sister had just stopped a horrendous coughing fit. Lil nodded, brushing a bit of main out of her mahogany eyes. "You sure?" Lysa asked agian. Again Lil nodded. 'I'm sure." her eyes seemed to say. Lysa sighed.

"Lysa? Lil? Are you two here? Its twilight and Apple Jack." Lysa's ears pricked up. They came back, just like they promised!

"Y-yes!" She called. Twilight and Apple Jack entered. A sigh escaping each's throat. The fillies were hiding again. "You came back." Lysa called.

Apple jack smiled. "Well of course we did Sugar cube. And we brought some things for you." Lysa looked at Lil, shocked. "W'ell leave 'em here for ya. I have to get going right now. But I promise I'll be back." Apple Jack nodded to Twilight as she left. Leaving the contents of her saddle bag in the shack. Twilight smiled.

"We brought you some food and blankets. And some pillows. I also got you each a journal and some ink and quills." Twilight said happily.

"T-thank you. Y-you didn't have to do this." Lysa said. Her sister was just as shocked. never in their lives, for as long as they could remember, no pony had ever shown them such kindness. Twilight smiled.

A small giggle escaping her mouth. "It wasn't a matter of having to. It was a matter of wanting to. I'll let you girls be so you can see all the goodies we got for you. I'll come by later to see how your doing." with that the purple alicorn stood and departed from the shack.

Lysa and Lil crept out of hiding. Their mouths hung open slightly as they saw the immense amount of items that Twilight and Apple Jack had brought them. Carefully they placed everything is its own spot and layed down under the largest blanket. Lil began to draw in her journal and Lysa began to write.

Dear Journal,

Hi. My name is Lysa. I'm your owner. And I just got you today from a pony I just met last night. Well that Lysa and I just met last night. But um yeah. I guess I'll just be writing stuff about our days in you and stuff. Twilight is the name of the pony who gave you to me. Lil was given one to, but shes useing her's for an art journal. Lil loves to draw, and i love to write. Not ony di Miss. Twilight give you to me but her and her friend Apple Jack gave us so much more to! This is the kindest thing any pony has ever done for us!

-Your owner,

Lysa

Twilight sat down at her desk later that night. She took out her own journal and began to write in it.

Dear Journal,

I know its been a while since i wrote in you, and I'm sorry for that. But to day, and last night, I have come to know two filies. Now I have never seen them. But their names are Lysa and Lil. Lil is mute so Lysa does most of the talking. Apple jack and i found them just last night when coming home from a visit to a nearby town. I'm sad to say the two have no home and have taken up residence in an old worn down shack just out side Ponyville. Apple Jack and I have given them some supplies, so they should be fine for now. Though we are hoping to earn their trust so that we can finally get to see them. I really want to help them. It troubles me to say that they don't show them selves because of some terrible things that have been said to them. I hope that Apple jack and can be of more help to them.

-Kindly your owner,

Twilight Sparkle
