Almost Equestria

Dear Princess Celestia,

How are things in Canterlot? I can only imagine that you must be busy with all the preparations for Hearth's Warming Eve going on. But, as you always said, royal protocol is royal protocol. I have my own fair share going on here at the castle, especially with all my friends stopping in almost constantly.

Aside from the preparations, things are going quite nicely here in Ponyville. We finally finished unpacking the books you sent me from the Canterlot Astrology Department last month, so I gave Spike the night off to do whatever he wants. Rarity's coming in by train later tonight, so I'll be stopping by the station lasted tonight to meet her. As for the rest of us, things have been running pretty smoothly around here.

Despite all the bustle, I've managed to get some thinking done. So I must ask: is there some kind of magic associated with this season? I've tried to collect some conclusive evidence, but no matter what, I can't seem to find an answer. I know you've been around for a while, so I think you might have an answer for me.

Well, that's all I can think of right now. If Cadence and my brother show up in Canterlot while I'm here, tell them I said hi, and make sure to leave some tea for Luna in the morning!

Your Faithful Student,

Twilight Sparkle
