Pinkie Has Coping Issues

Dear Princess Celestia,

It was a bright and beautiful morning when I woke up in my bed today; I was facing the window and saw the sun in the sky.  ‘Thank you Celestia for this beautiful day.  I’ll make it the best I can and my friends will help!’  I thought to myself.  But, first, I had to get out of bed.  Pushing myself up I saw a photo of us all on my night stand and my heart ached.

Last week Pinkie did a prank that left Rarity in the hospital with a broken leg and a missing tooth:  She is so hyper and impulsive; she acted before she thought and Rarity was hurt.  Almost all of us were mad and hurt and overreacted and paused our friendship with Pinkie for a while until she calms down, with all this going on we are going to befriend her again soon, she is a great pony after all.

Rainbow Dash has been gone for 3 days now and we haven’t heard from her.  It’s not like she isn’t impulsive and reckless, but she usually contacts us if she needs help or is going away for a while.  Everyone has been their usual selves but we’re all worried, even though we act like we aren’t.  Rarity has been spending a lot of time outside her shop.  Pinkie has been baking cupcakes like crazy; she’s been using rainbow frosting to keep our hopes up.

Fluttershy has had her animals keeping an eye out for Dash, but has been really hurt by us all over reacting to defriending Pinkie, she is the only one who took Pinkies side.  Applejack is so focused on her work it’s hard to tell if she really notices yet, and may be burying herself in work as a distraction.  I’m just trying to keep us all together while we go about our business until Dash gets back.

Watching the Pegasus clearing the clouds is heart breaking.  Ever since becoming an Alicorn, I’ve had my friends by my side, now to have a distance with Pinkie and with Dash missing, it’s almost too much.  I’ve taken notice that there have been a lot of people over the past two years that have gone missing, ran away or travelers that only stayed half nights at the inn.  Nothing to worry about overall, but I have a feeling something is happening.  I’m going to investigate in my spare time.

I know this isn’t a lesson in friendship, but I felt like you should know because I am really bothered by this.  When I/we learn a lesson we’ll write.

Best Wishes,

Twilight Sparkle
