First, Last, And Only Letter

-Princess Celestia's POV -

It was a beautiful day in Canterlot, and the sun was shining. I sat on my throne taking care of day court business, and had just finished dealing with some annoying nobles who wanted even more wealth, privilege, power, and status than what they already had. I had told them that the only ponies who had more wealth, power, privilege, and status as they were Princess Luna, I, and that if they wish to gain such things, they must earn them, rather than having them given. The nobles didn't like it, but they accepted it anyway, and left, because they knew it would be foolish to argue with me. Just then, a scroll popped in out of thin air.

"Ah, another friendship letter from Twilight, or her friends," I said to nopony in particular.

Then I noticed that Princess Twilight's seal wasn't on it, but that it was wrapped with a what appeared to be a blue string instead. Untying the string with my magic, and unrolling the scroll, I began to read:

Dear Princess Celestia,

You don't know me, because I'm just an insignificant nothing, who never amounted to anything, and never will. I know that all I am is a disappointment to everypony else, including you, and my parents Featherwing, and Cloud Kicker. That is why I have decided that it would be best if I left this world. Before I go, there are things that I feel that you need to know, so you may better understand why I did what I did.

I was born as Nimble Hooves in Cloudsdale, and I was always considered to be a bit different than most colts, preferring to do things that fillies usually did like wear make up, and go shopping for shoes, clothes, and jewelry. Everypony was so cold, and indifferent to me, treating me like I'm a burden, and with the same regards as one would treat anypony who has a horrible disfiguring disease. Even my own so-called "family". It was during my teenage years that this became most evident, and when my parents caught me crossdressing in my sister Arabesque's dance outfit one day, they yelled at me, and called me all kinds of terrible things.

Then they sent me to one of those camps to "fix" gay Ponies. The Ponies there were tortured with verbal, mental, emotional, and physical abuse, starved, and kept from being able to drink anything, and if anypony was caught acting gay, the camp staff stuck the pony into a metal box for three days with a heat lamp inside that was cranked up to full power. I ran away from the camp, and ended up in Ponyville. Seeing that the ponies in Ponyville were gentle, and kind, I decided that liked the town, and it's inhabitants so much, that I settled there. I even legally changed my name, taught myself how to play Guitar, and got my cutie mark,, which is an Acoustic Guitar, after performing in the annual Ponyville talent show. Recently, I tried to join the Wonderbolts Reserves. Unfortunately, it was just like everywhere else. There were ponies who took offense to my existence, and even though I graduated, and am friends with both Wonderbolt Captains, I never fly with them. Why would they want somepony like me around?

Then there was the situation at the Grand Galloping Gala when I encountered my parents, and sister. I went there trying to make peace with them, but they told me to leave them alone, and called me more of the same things they had called me when I was younger. Of course you know how that ended.

Lately, it seems as though Everypony in Ponyville seems to be avoiding me too, treating me the same way the ponies in Cloudsdale did. Twilight Sparkle, and her friends are still nice to me, as they always have been since I arrived in Ponyville, but everyone else is so harsh, and rude towards me. Now I'm a former musician, and Guitar instructor. I say former, because nopony will hire me to perform anymore and all of my students have either quit, or been pulled out by their parents. I've been fighting a losing battle since I was born, and it hurts too much to bare it anymore. I know you'll try to send somepony to try keep me from doing what I'm going to do, perhaps you'll come yourself. But then again, maybe you don't even care, since you're an Alicorn, and Royalty, while I'm just a lowlife commoner. What I do know, is that by the time this letter reaches you, I will be gone. Please don't blame yourself for what happened blame life, fate and destiny, and also blame existence for being nothing more than a cruel crude crass sick twisted evil demented unfunny cosmic joke that even Discord would be offended by.

Sincerely,

Six String

While I was reading the letter, my expression changed from smiling, and happy, to sad, and very frightened. My eyes went wide, my ears drooped, and my mane stopped flowing of it's own accord. I bowed my head, and closed my eyes. Tears began to flow from my eyes, and as if to reflect my change in mood, the clouds covered the sun, and heavy rain began to fall.

After a few moments that seemed like an eternity, I looked over at the two guards that were by the throne room doors.

I know it's early, but would you please go awaken my sister? I need to speak with her here. Please tel her that it's very important."

One of the guards nodded hoofing his spear to the other guard, before opening the doors, and quickly exiting. The doors closed again behind him.
