After four hours and nearly a brick of cheddar and chocolate had disappeared down his mouth, Rolls Royce finally calmed down enough to think. After an additional eight hours spent staring out a window he finally decided what to do. He took a deep breath, and with his magic he began to type. Royce had terrible penmanship and was not afraid to admit, so instead of writing he typed on a typewriter. He had to use his magic to actually write anything in a decent amount of time, but once he got going there was no stopping him. He actually found the process therapeutic and relaxing, maybe he should write a story one day. He stopped for a moment in thought before he shook his head and brought himself out of his tangent.


Clicktyclickityclickclikclack. Ding! Clicktyclickityclickclickclik. Ding!


After an hour of typing he finally pulled his letter out. He skimmed over what he had typed to make sure he hadn't made any significant spelling mistakes, addressed the letter, and found his nose plugs. He then ran out to the postal box and sent his reply, hoping that he would never have to deal with a little filly named Twilight again.


Twilight stared out the front window of her house. In three hours she was going to take the biggest test of her life. The entrance exam to Celestia's school, and Twilight had swapped between excitement and terror many, many times currently she was on terror. There was no doubt in her mind that she would fail, sure she had an amazing magical ability, but what use was that when she would set herself on fire, or turn whatever she was levitating into a potted plant. She pressed her muzzle against the window, closed her eyes, and sighed. Suddenly there was an unmistakable sound that brought Twilight's ears to attention and her eyes wide open. The mail box had just been opened. The Mail mare froze mid delivery and stared back at Twilight startled by the filly's rapid motion. The made gave an awkward wave and left as fast as she could. By the time the mail mare's dust cloud had dissipated Twilight was at her mailbox staring at the formal looking letter addressed to her. She ran to her room, and ripped the envelope apart. Slowly she unfolded the envelope's precious cargo, and read.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

My name is Rolls Royce. Although I have never been to Canterlot I do have a cousin who lives there. I am glad that you have taken an interest in the city that I live in, although I am sorry that you have heard such terrible rumors. I hope I can clear everything up as I answer your questions.

  1. I do not know why my name sounds so funny. It sounds perfectly fine to me.

  2. It is not true that all ponies in Salt Lick City pray to Nightmare Moon. This is a big misunderstanding between the Lunarmons and the Celestians. I should know as I was a former Lunarmon but I am now an atheist. The big misunderstanding comes from the fact that the Lunarmons pray to both Celestia and Luna, but they do not pray to Nightmare Moon. The Lunarmons formed as a religion from before Nightmare Moon's banishment, and just didn't stop praying to Luna after. They believe that there is still some good left in Nightmare and that she can be saved.

  3. Ponies in Salt Lick do not have goat horns. I have a perfectly straight horn on my head as proof.

  4. Some ponies do eat foals, but they are few and are sent to jail for a very long time.

  5. Foals come from the same place here as they do there but with a few more details your parents will tell you about later.

  6. Now the best solution for preventing yourself from catching on fire, is a bucket of water. Unless of course the reason for your fire is because you have trouble controling your magic. The best thing I can suggest if that is the case is that you stop focusing on everything going on around you. Instead focus on what you are trying to do. When I had to clean my room as a foal, after my brother messed it up, I would feel like it would be impossible. However my mother would have me focus on one peice at a time, and suddenly before I knew it my room would be clean. So all you have to do is focus on each part of the spell you are doing and it should become much easier. But above all else Twilight remember that you will mess up. Nopony expects you to be perfect, and it is alright to fail, just remember to give everything you got.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely

Rolls Royce.
