Dear Applebloom,
I hope you and your friends got your cutie marks by now!
I wish you could be with me for the opening of my new manestyling boutique!
I know this doesn't sound like me, but I've been practicing in Vanhoover for 5 years for this very day.
I'm sorry I haven't seen you in years, but this is my destiny! You'll know what I mean too someday.
But, you remember the legend of the Manehatten Manestyler, right? The pony that all future manestylists look up to?
Right? If not, I'll tell you whenever I get some more time, I promise!
Yours truly, Babs Seed!!!
"Oh, I hope that wasn't too sappy!" thought Babs Seed as she got up to go send her letter to Applebloom. She grabbed an apple from the kitchen counter and brought it with her for a little snack. She looked outside and saw Minuette and Raindrops doing improve in the middle of the road. "Typical Minuette. Always doing something a bit, well, strange." Babs thought. Babs walked outside and was dragged to the center of the crowd by Minuette.
"Go Babs, you can do it!" she screamed.
Babs looked at what Minuette expected her to do. Jump over a pyramid of barrels, through a ring of fire and from a diving board into a small pool of water.
"Come on Babs! Be a risk-taker! Be like us!" screamed Minuette. She shoved Babs into the starting line and kept prodding her with a stick.
Babs decided it might be a bit fun just to try, so she jumped over the barrels, through the ring of fire, made it to the diving board, stumbled, and fell into the pool of water. Everypony exploded with applause and cheers. They loved Babs and wanted more.
