Dear Twilight Sparkle,
Friendship?
Previous ChapterSeveral months passed since Rolls received the letter from Twilight and his life had returned to normal stability. If he had listened to the news, or read the newspaper, he would have learned about recent repairs to a particular tower in Canterlot, and that a few zealous groups had popped up in Salt Lick City. Those zealots in particular where causing all sorts of trouble claiming that the "True Goddess" would return in eight years time. However, RollsRoyce did not read the newspaper or listen to the news as he found it completely useless. Many of the stories written in the paper, or talked on the news claimed that terrible things were going to happen, like new laws, but in the end nothing really changed. His day went about exactly the same, the nobles passed the same laws that didn't really do anything, and his therapist, Dr. Rorschach, told him that he needed to exercise.
RollsRoyce's body on the other hoof, had a different opinion as he wheezed with each breath into his asthmatic lungs. The elevator had broken that day and even though his apartment was only on the third floor he still was out of breath as he walked the final steps to bring his mail back home. He had never been very athletic, he could walk 10 miles, do well over a hundred push ups and carry well over his own weight on his back. However he would be coughing and wheezing if he ran more then twenty yards. It didn't make much sense to him either.
RollsRoyce entered a sort of auto pilot, as he entered his apartment, placed his mail on the kitchen table, shut and locked his door and poured himself another glass of chocolate milk without thinking. In fact he realized mid pour that he wasn't actually thirsty.
Anyways, he chugged down the chocolate milk quickly, and sorted out his mail. Today he had received a flier that advertised a party in a few days with the main attractions, being free pizza, and somepony named DJ-P0N3. He also received a Hospital bill for his dead brother, a formal letter with the royal seal on it, and his monthly dividends from investing his inheritance. He quickly pulled out the dividend check of a thousand bits , shredded the bill for a pony that couldn't pay, and placed the flier on his fridge. (If he was quick he could have a free meal and get home before things got chaotic.) He started to plan a trip to the bank when he realized there was a letter that he had not dealt with yet. He slowly aproached the royal letter not sure of what was going on. Had his cousin written to him, and if he had then why? He carefully broke the seal and read the letter's contents.
Dear Rolls Royce,
I'm sorry I haven't written to you for a while, but so much has happened recently that I forgot to write. Firstly thank you so much for your suggestion for dealing with my magic. It helped so much when I was taking an entrance exam to get into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. I had to use my magic to make a dragon egg hatch. At first nothing happened, but then i did exactly what you told me to do and the egg hatched and the dragon grew so huge he broke the ceiling. I also may have turned my parents into petunias. Anyways, Celestia changed my parents back, shrunk the dragon back down to size, gave the baby dragon to me to be my best assistant, and made me her apprentice. Now I live up at the palace and it's amazing. And I w want to thank you for helping me get here.
So... Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! !!!
Anyways I know you only answered my questions about Salt Lick, but I would like to be your friend. I'm going to tell more about myself now, and if you want to be friends as well you can write me back and tell me about yourself. After all friends should know a lot about each other, even if they are far away from each other.
Well as I told you before my name is Twilight Sparkle. I am ten years old, I am a unicorn filly, I have a light purple coat, a dark purple mane and tale with except for a couple locks of hair that are light purple and pink. I have included in this letter a picture I drew of myself, I'm not very good with legs, but I'm great with drawing hair. I have a mom, a dad, and a best big brother. My mom has a white coat and light purple mane, she used to be a librarian bit now she is a writer, but doesn't actually write much. My dad has a blue coat and a dark blue mane. He used to be part of the royal guard but now he is retired. My best big brother is has a white coat, and a blue and white mane. I used to see him all the time, but ever since he joined the guard I barely get to see him. I have included a drawing of my family in the letter as well. I also have a best assistant baby dragon as well, named spike. He has green spines on his head, back and tail, purple scales that cover his body, and a tan belly.
My favorite thing to do is to read. I love books, all books and every book. Whenever I have free time from studying and my lessons with Celestia I like to sit in the royal archive, and read. Do you have a favorite book?
Mine is a storybook Celestia reads to me about the Elements of Harmony.
That's all I can think of about myself right now. I hope that we can be friends.
Sincerely,
Twilight Sparkle.
P.S Do you have any favorite foods. Mine are flower salads, and chocolate.
P.S.S from now on you should send the letters to the palace
P.S.S.S Do you have a brother?
RollsRoyce let the letter fall to the floor. He slowly walked over to his corner and rocked himself feeling overwhelmed with questions and emotions. The main question that bothered him the most was whether or not he actually wanted a friend. He was so confused and devided that after twenty two hours, a gallon of chocolate milk and three blocks of cheese he decided to go see his therapist.
He got dressed, as he always felt to exposed whenever he went outside without anything, and walked into the building's elevator. Royce new what he was going to dodo and pictured it in his head. Wait 30 seconds for the elevator's slow descent, turn right after exiting the building, walk three blocks, and then take a left and walk an additional 7 blocks to DR. Rorschach's office. However the elevator had decided to do things differently that day as the elevator cable snapped and sent the whole thing plummeting to the ground.
