If Wishes Were Pegasi

Hey!

I just got your letter. That was fast! I mean, I knew you’d be writing me back as soon as you got mine, but I didn’t think the Equestria Postal Service could move mail so quickly!

Training has let up a little bit, so I should be able to make the time to write to you every other day or something like that. Do me a favor, would ya? Tell Pinkie Pie and all my other friends I said “Hi” and that I miss them. I’d write to them all but... it’s hard enough just finding the time to write to you. I mean, not that I mind writing to you or anything.

Soarin’ has been pretty hard on me, he’s been supervising most of my training. At first I wasn’t sure about how things were going to work out for me here, I was getting so worn out! But as the days have progressed it’s almost like I can feel my strength and stamina increasing. You’ll never guess what I did for him this morning!

Go on, guess!

Yep, that’s right, I did a Sonic Rainboom! I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to pull it off, but I really wanted to knock Soarin’s socks off and do something he wasn’t expecting. I nailed it! HAH! You should have seen the look on his face! They’re probably gonna make it the finale at my first show with them! I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. Try not to get too mushy about this, but...

I was thinking of you when it happened.

Just don’t get a big head about it or anything. I mean, I still totally would have pulled it off anyway, but... uh, well you know what I mean!

By the way, you still haven’t let me know how you’re doing. Make sure you do that when you write back. Don’t make me come down there and spank you like a naughty little colt for disobeying me.

Uh, right. Anyway, gotta go!

Love you lots!

Dash

Hi Dashie

That is SO cool that you did a sonic rainboom! I bet Soarin’ was impressed, to say the least. And the fact that you were thinking of me at the time, I really don’t know what to say to that. Did I ever mention how proud I am of you? By the way, those totally aren’t tear stains at the top of the paper, just ignore those little splotches.

Anyway I’ve been okay I guess. Just really missing you. I’ve been keeping myself really busy at work though, it seems to help the time pass a little faster. Oh, your friend Fluttershy stopped by to see me a couple days ago, but she left in a hurry. Don’t know what THAT was all about. She seemed awful excited that I got a letter from you. Maybe you should at least write to her if nopony else? I mean, if you ever have the extra time that is. I can only imagine how busy you are. I’ll make a point of it to let Pinkie Pie know you said hi, and your other friends too the next time I see them.

On an unrelated note, do you have any idea how good it feels to be able to brag that I’m in a serious romantic relationship with a Wonderbolt? I think my friends and coworkers are getting sick of hearing it at this point. I swear one of them is going to go off the deep end about it one of these days.

I had a dream about you last night. It was INTENSE, but dreams can’t even begin to compare to holding you. When I finally get to see you again, the things I’m gonna do to you... oh you just wait. As far as spanking me goes, is that a promise? I might just have to disobey you more often if so. Though a spanking is tame compared to what you’ve got coming you dirty little filly.

Twenty days, just twenty more days and you’re all mine for a whole weekend...

I love you, Dashie

Hey hot stuff,

Impressed? Soarin’ was WAY more than impressed! That was the first time I’ve ever seen him completely speechless at the end of a training session.

Fluttershy stopped by to see you? That seems a little strange, I would have thought Pinkie or one of the others would have visited you first, to try to cheer you up or something. I think Fluttershy is intimidated by you for some reason, so I’m a little surprised she actually came to visit you when I wasn’t there.

So, you brag about me to your friends and coworkers now? What, I wasn’t good enough to brag about to them before I became a Wonderbolt? I suppose you’re just in it for the novelty of romantic involvement with a soon-to-be celebrity, huh? Well, if that’s the case maybe we should just go our separate ways...

Don’t freak out, I’m kidding!!! Guess that doesn’t come across very well in writing, does it?

I love you.

There, I hope that makes up for it. If not, I’ll be sure to “make up for it” when we see each other again, if you know what I mean.

Did you really have a dream about me? It must have been a pretty good one considering how long it’s been since we, uh, you know. I wish I could remember my dreams. I think I’ve been too exhausted to dream since I’ve been here, but if I have I’m sure you’ve been in them somewhere.

I’ve been missing our nights together more and more. I’m looking forward to feeling your body pressed closed to mine again. It’s a good thing training is keeping me so busy and worn out, otherwise I might have to be on the prowl for some studly young pegasus colt to take care of my needs.

Kidding, again. You know you’re the only colt for me, don’t go feeling all insecure.

I have so much more that I want to say, but I really need to hit the hay, it’s getting late. I’ll be seeing you soon, real soon.

Love,

Dash

I got a surprise visit from your friends Pinkie Pie, Twilight, and Fluttershy today. They’re all curious about how things are going for you in Cloudsdale. They asked if they can expect any letters from you. They understand if not, but to be honest I think they’re a tad bit jealous that we’ve been writing to each other so much.

I  also bumped into Applejack today in town. I bought a couple of her pies and we talked about you for quite a while. She asked me to send you a pie too, which I’ve sent along with this letter. She’s very happy for  you, all your friends are, but it’s pretty obvious to me that they miss you just as much as I do. Well, ALMOST as much as I do anyway.

I’ve been dreaming of you almost every night, desperately clinging to sleep in the mornings as I’ve awakened, not wanting to leave you even in my dreams. I hope your training isn’t wearing you out TOO much, you’re gonna need every bit of energy you can muster in two more weeks. I can’t wait to taste your sweet lips again; to let all of my senses be overwhelmed by you.

I know you were only kidding about finding another colt and whatnot. You should know by now that I’m used to your teasing and sense of humor, it’s one of the things about you that I love the most, so don’t worry about it. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I really hope the Wonderbolts know how lucky they are to have you. I haven’t taken off the necklace you gave me since the day you left, except for when I go to bed and when I take a shower. When I look at your picture, I can’t help but smile knowing you’re living your dream, and also knowing that I’ll see you again. I’d wait for you a thousand years if I had to.

Anyway, I’ll keep this brief. I know I’ve said it a million times, and I know you kinda hate the mushy stuff, but I love you Rainbow Dash. I’ll love you forever, and I’ll always be yours.

See you soon, my love.

Sorry it’s taken me so long to write back to you, it took me a while to recover from the sappiness of your last letter. Teasing aside, Soarin’ has really ramped up the intensity of my training lately, it’s taking a lot out of me. Even though he’s being really tough on me his attitude seems to be changing, he doesn’t seem to be taking it quite as seriously as he did during my first few days here, and some of our most recent sessions have even been really fun.

Spitfire has been practicing with us too, and this morning we even went through an entire routine together, the routine we’ll be performing at my first public appearance with them. I’m so stoked! They’ve confirmed that it’s gonna be in Fillydelphia, and I’m bringing you and all my friends tickets when I come to see you this weekend. I did finally make the time to write to each of them, too. I felt really bad about not keeping in touch with them, so that’s also part of why you haven’t heard from me in a little while, I hope you don’t mind.

By the way, I hope you’re ready for my visit. I’ve barely been able to think about anything else for the last couple of days. You better not have anything else planned, because you are MINE this weekend, got it?

Dash

Reading over Dash’s most recent letter, you feel yourself begin to tremble in anticipation. It’s been so long since you’ve felt her touch, your body is screaming out for release. Perhaps you hadn’t realized in the beginning just how much you’d grown to NEED that touch over the last couple of years. It’s become almost painful, but you’re willing to endure it. You can only imagine the wild weekend you’ll soon be sharing if the tone of the letters she’s been sending you is any indication. You pick up a pencil and begin to draft a response to your lover, but you can’t focus. You wonder if there would even be any point in writing another letter back to her, she’d most likely be here before it reached her anyway, the weekend only being two days away. You drop the pencil with a sigh and decide to head for bed. Though it’s early in the evening, anything you can do to make the time pass more quickly is a blessing at this point.

As you carefully remove your necklace, opening the locket hanging from it to get a glimpse at your soul mate, you sigh longingly. This has become sort of a nightly ritual for you ever since Dash’s departure. You plant a kiss on the image as you set the necklace down on your night stand and slip under the covers, falling fast asleep much sooner than usual.
