Dear Princess Twilight,

In the past few days many things have happened, but the most important off all was the presentation of Flaming Star and I for our project. Plus the unexpected action of Pro. Skull Mustache.

We went to Flaming Star’s house, or should I say Flaming Star’s palace, and worked on our project there to make sure we have enough information to make a presentation. We worked there for hours till it was dinnertime. I wanted to head home after I realized it was so late, but then I remembered that I had nothing to eat at home and I didn’t have enough money to buy much. So why say no to royal quality free food?

At the table, I got to meet every member of Flaming Star’s family. His two grandmothers, his grandfather and of course his father whom I have met before, however not formally! I also have to add that he was really keen on getting as much detail as he could about me. He started to ask questions that were a little personal. But I didn’t just sit there, I answered all of them in a way that made Flaming Star feel that he is going to lose his neck but it turned out fine and I got to ask him about the Flame palace which was very interesting. As I figured, the Flame palace was inherited and it was built by Sir Flame Cutter the First. It held a lot of rooms for all of his eleven daughters and his one and only son Flaming Spear. He was a great warrior who was known to pass through flames and (don’t tell Spike) it was said that he once killed a fire-breathing dragon. That’s just a legend in this world. But most importantly was that it meant to be a place for training too. And the rose garden was never in front of the palace but Great Flame, Flaming Star’s dead grandfather made it for his wife Scarlet Rose.

That was really fascinating to know, though it seemed that Bright Flame really liked to keep talking about it. Thankfully, Flaming Star’s Grandmother brought her pie which made everyone silent. And it was really delicious. I must make sure Pinkie tries it too.

After dinner I packed up and headed home, their servant escorted me outside and from there it was a long walk home on a really calm night. At least I didn’t need to rush because it was the weekend. The walk gave me a chance to think about all I learned about Flaming Star’s family, but mostly I thought of him. His talent and skill in fencing and archery must be inherited and no doubt his father has it, too. It just made the thrill of beating him one day in a one-on-one duel something I really want. Beating a champion is a really great achievement, but beating a gifted champion is something else.

I was so deep in thought of beating him that I didn’t realized I had reached my destination. I was too tired to do anything, so I just headed to my bed. As soon as I closed my eyes I fell asleep.
