Spike's Diary

Dear Diary,

Today, another friendship mission was started by the Cutie Map, and Twilight's actually pretty bummed out about it. Why? Simple. She doesn't get to be the one to go on it. This time it's Rarity and Applejack's turn, and they're going all the way to Manehattan. I wish them luck over with whatever they're supposed to do there. But yeah, back to Twilight. Ever since this whole thing started she's been getting really stressed out every time the map doesn't need her specifically. It's like she thinks that, as Princess of Friendship, she needs to be involved in every mission that comes her way.

After all this time of being with our friends, she should have learned by now that they can handle themselves. Why, just the other day, Rarity managed to save Rainbow from being kicked out of the Wonderbolts, and Twilight wasn't there for that, was she? I know having a job like hers can be stressful, and yeah, after all that's happened she probably does feel a lot of responsibility and all that. But come on, Twilight! You can ease back and let others take the strain from time to time!

You know, maybe I should make her some hot cocoa. That usually cheers her up.
