Dear Starlight.

I hope you are well cause I can't say you are safe on account of the dangers you're facing with Abigail. Possibly while I am writing this to you, you may be fighting for your life. Which scares me greatly.

From what you've described in your letter is most freighting Starlight. I can only speculate what your going through. The Locust, The stranded, and Abigails old school. Tell Abigail I'm sorry about that. I have no idea the portal's exit would send the both of you to a place that was personal to Abigail. I'm glad everything worked out and you got out of their when you both faced the Locust.

I worry about you, as does everypony else. But this was your decision, and I hope you return to us in one piece soon. Spike's been holding on to the journal from me, so I don't try and write to you every minute of every day trying to make sure you're alright, ha, ha.

Anyway in other news, with you no longer in Ponyville. Trixie moved on, believing there was little reason for her to stick around and has set off to rekindle her on the road magic show. She seemed pretty determined to "do things the right way," as she puts it. She's so different now than the first time I met her a few years ago. Trixie even stopped referring herself in the third person if you can believe that. She even asked for 'help' from 'Discord' of all ponies. I don't even know what to think about that. Just thinking about it makes my fur stand up.

For me, I've been trying to stay busy. Princess Celestia has asked me to take charge of studying the "Longshot" rifle Abigail left for us. It's design and functions are so easy to look over, If not done correctly it wouldn't work at all. The position and craftsmen of it is truly remarkable.

My brother, Shinning Armor wants me to try and recreate it to use for the non-unicorns in the royal guard. Rainbow wants me to me her one for the Wonderbolts to show off. I almost shot her down when Applejack of all ponies asked me for one as well as well, with her giving a better reason with wanting to defend her farm and family from timber wolves. I've haven't given them any promises yet to their requests right now seance I've just got the basics of what human weaponry is like and haven't come up with any blueprints for anything.

But yeah we all miss you and hope you come back from this scary war you went to fight in. No doubt Pinkie has a party planned for the both of you when your return.

As for Abigail living in Equestria, wanting to live in peace from a life of war. I'm in full support of the idea of letting her stay in our world, as was Princess Luna. Celestia was hesitant about the notion of her, but Luna talked her around into agreeing. She may have to do a few written tests to gain a full citizenship. But that shouldn't be a problem for her.

I'll let you go now, and please write often. I'd like to know more of the adventures you two are having together. In fact, tell Abigail to write in the journal too sometime. We would love to hear how she's doing, being back in her home world in all. As our friends here will do the same for the both of you. It's the least we can do for saving us from Chrysalis. I let you know more of what's been going on later when you have more time to read, instead of fighting.

Be smart, Starlight, Abigail.

Your friend,

Twilight Sparkle

Author's Note

Getting letters from home while fighting in a war zone is a big moral boost. Just ask any member that's served in a combat environment.

Stay tune. The next chapter is almost done before editing so I'll probably have done before the coming weekend. Hopefully

See you then
