Rush let out a sigh as he stepped into his home. It had been a long day, even longer because he was waiting for go out with Derpy! Even if it was a good few days off, he still couldn’t wait for it!

For now, though, he pushed those thoughts aside- he had nearly forgotten to write his first letter back to his parents!

He stopped in his little study and sat down at the desk, pulling out some paper and a pen before starting the letter.

‘To Mom and Dad:

First, I’m so sorry for being late with this letter! I know I promised a letter on my first day but this week has been so hectic. I want you to know, I’m doing great! I hope you two are doing well now that I’ve flown the coop.

I’d like to say, everything’s going well with the Golden Horseshoe but… it’s hell. Some of the chefs don’t know what they’re doing. One of them is directly hostile to me for being as he puts it, a stupid zebra… though that’s around five of the ponies. The rest are incredibly nice and know everything that they’re doing! I feel as if the one thinks I’m threatening his job… but, if only he’d stop being an asshole! The way he cooks, it’s like he made it into the same artform I have! If we could work together we’d double the quality overnight!

I met a mare who’s making all of my uniforms and now an entire wardrobe upgrade for me! She’s incredible, and mom, I really think you should come to meet her! Her name’s Rarity, one of the heroes of Equestria! And she’s actually making clothes for me! It’s just… so shocking, I never thought I’d meet a real-life hero...

That’s actually just about everything on the work side of things, now… personally, I know, you’re either going to come storming here, or send me a few hundred letters and boxes of… dating aids to my door. Please don’t, please! I don’t want to scare the mare I met off… now, with that out of the way...

I’m going out on a date with a mare. She’s really sweet and beautiful, like… she blew me away when I first met her! She’s a nice pegasus mare named Derpy, and well… she has a daughter who despite being quite… forward with what she wants to be done, is the sweetest little filly I’ve ever met! I’d love to spend more time with both of them… just, er, I don’t think she sees me as a dating partner. She was bent on not treating it as a date, but hopefully, after getting to know each other better, we can start to go out.

That’s just about everything that’s gone on so far. Ponyville is a really great town! I already love it here, and like I said before I left… you’re always welcome to spend a night or two here. As always, I love you both and… I do miss you sometimes. But, the freedom is so nice…

Your Loving Son:

Rush’

He signed the letter and let it dry a bit before he slowly folded it up and slipped it into an envelope. “Alright…” He wrote the address and applied a stamp to it. “There we go! Time to send it.” He smiled widely, going downstairs and stepping outside to slip it into his mailbox. “Now to wait for their reply… and whatever hell my mom’s going to put me through.”

Author's Note

Shooooort chapter this time, but one we both felt was important. This time around, we thought it best to make sure you guys can see from all different perspectives, not just Derpy's or Rarity's. Does this mean there might be some Ditzy, Dinky, Sweetie Belle, or other perspective chapters?
Maybe.

This chapter was written entirely by my co-writer, Patric12345. Give him love.

Toodles!
