It’s your little rainbow. So, we have a new pony in town, and he’s really different. He’s not really a pony, but that’s not important. He’s brave but he’s not a loud mouth about it and he really seems to care about others. I hope he stays in Ponyville, he could be fun to hang out with. Signed, Your Amazing Rainbow Dash Chapter 2My dear little Dashie-poo, I’m so happy to hear from you, sweetie! It’s been so long since you’ve sent me a letter. The last one was right after that whole changeling invasion in Canterlot. You know, you really must send us letters more often. Your new friend sounds fine. Just, don’t let him hurt you like all the others. Please, sweetie? Can you do that for me? Signed, Your loving mom Chapter 5Mommy, I know I’ve been hurt, but he’s only a friend. I’m not getting involved with him like that, mom. He’s married, and unlike some stallions, he’s loyal. I’ve heard the way he talks about his Ann, and I know I don’t stand a chance. I have to end this letter fast, there’s something happening in town, Signed, D. Chapter 6Rainbow Dash, Leave your father out of this. He was drunk and that harlot was wearing a Wonderbolt costume. I forgave him and so should you. He’s never strayed before and has been loyal ever since. So, what was the big rush that you couldn't write a proper letter? Signed, Your ever suffering mother Chapter 8Dear mom, It’s been two days since he’s been out. This afternoon he moved a little and kind of tried sticking out his tongue. I called the nurse in right away. They tested to see if he could breath on his own, and he could, so they took the tube out. About an hour ago he woke up a bit, and I gave him water. He didn’t drink it properly and he passed out. He’s still breathing all right now, so I’ll try to get some rest. Signed, Dash Chapter 9Dear Rainbow, How awful! Is your friend all right? Is the little one he saved alright? Will you please, finally tell me his name? Signed Your worried mom Chapter 10Hi mom, He’s doing just fine. We had a serious heart to heart, and he told me things. Don’t ask, there the kinds of things I think he doesn’t want others, except me, to know. He’s my best friend and I think I really get him. I understand why he did what he did, and I think it’s sad and beautiful, you know? Before you warn me about falling for him, I’m not. He’s totally friendzoned me, and I’ve done the same. I would be lying if I said I wouldn’t like a relationship, but, with what I know now, I don’t think there’s any place in his heart for anyone that close to him. Anyway, the important part is that he’s getting better and there are no long term injuries. Love, Your Relieved Little Filly Chapter 11Dear Dashie, You’re falling in love with him, aren't you? I can tell. You were like this with that Gilda. You woudn’t tell me her name or what she was. If that’s the case, fine. I just hope you know what you’re doing. I also hope he's as good as you say he is, I really do. Signed, Your loving and worried mom Chapter 12Hi Mom! It’s me, your most awesome and only daughter. I have some really good news, I’ve fallen in love with someone. I know what you're thinking, “Oh Dashie-poo you fall in love with somepony every week.” But this time, it’s different. He’s different. He’s not cool, he’s not hot, but he is out of this world. He’s also kind, and warm, and he trusts me and believes in me. And he cares for me in a way no one else, other than you and dad has before. Today, he massaged my threes and was so worried he was going to hurt me, and he was so gentle, and he made supper too. Anyone else was usually rough and hurt me a little when they were doing it. But not him. Signed, Your very happy daughter Chapter 13My Dearest Dashie, It’s been awhile since you sent your last letter, but I’m always happy to hear from you. And such wonderful news it is. I knew you could do better than that awful griffin. You know, she was no good for you, always so mean. And she was one of those terrible predators as well. I’m so glad you found yourself a nice stallion. It is a stallion, right? It's not that mystery friend you stopped talking about all of a sudden, is it? Tell me all about him. What’s his name? Is he handsome, like your father? What’s his cutie mark? Signed, Your loving mother Chapter 14Hey mom, It is my friend I’ve been telling you about, the one who got hurt. His name is Alex Roberts, and he’s not from around here. Now, I don’t want to shock you, but he’s out of this world. Twilight tried explaining once, but I really didn’t understand. Anyway, just believe me, when I say he’s out of this world, I really mean it. He’s not from Equestria. He’s a human. He hates being described like this, but I don’t have a picture. Anyway, he kind of looks like a shaved diamond dog. Lets leave it at that. And I love him. He makes me feel so good. Worthy, you know? One more thing. It’s not like I care about it, but I think it will make dad accept him a little better. He’s rich. Very rich. When he landed here, he had a couple hundred kilos of aluminium. I guess it’s common as dirt where he comes from. He’s totally rolling in it. Signed, Happy Dashie Chapter 15Rainbow Marigold Dash, What kind of name is Alex Roberts? It sounds like a silly made up name. I mean what does it mean? I’m starting to wonder if you’re making this all up to hide a filly friend, not that you ever did before. How many times have I told you not to make up stories? If you’re dating a nice mare or even that griffin filly, we’re okay with that. But please don’t tell me you’ve fallen in with some bipedal dog thing. They have no table manners, they smell bad, and they have bad hygiene. If you try to settle down with that, you’ll be a an outcast, Dashie-poo. It doesn’t matter if you saved the world three times. No one will accept a pony and diamond dog relationship. Anyway, I don’t want to hear another rant from your father about your deviant lifestyle. Not that I think like that, but many ponies aren't as open minded as me. And Really? More aluminium than all three Princesses combined? I find that the hardest to believe. So, what’s the truth? Is he a clover dealer? Illegal salt? Bank robber? Signed, Your Worried Mother Chapter 17Dear Dashie-poo, You’re father has a terrible sense of humor. He just has a hard time understanding why this perfect gentalcolt is interested in you. I mean, he sounds like a real prince charming. Doesn’t he know your past? Have you told him about Gilda? Signed, Concerned Chapter 18Mom, He knows I had something with Gilda, but I haven’t told him much else because he never asked and as far as I can tell he doesn’t care. If he asked I would tell him in a hoof beat. For some crazy reason, he loves me for me, and I’m going to do everything I can to keep him. I honestly don’t care if you approve, but I kind of hope you do. When you meet him, you’ll understand. Signed, R.D. Chapter 19Dear Rainbow, So when and where are we going to meet this Alex Roberts? I hope he’s the understanding type, considering your past. I just don’t want to see you disappointed again. It would break my heart. However, he does sound like a gem, and I’m happy for you darling. Your father still thinks he’s a clover dealer, but, you know your father. Love, Your mother Chapter 3Hi mom! You don’t need to worry about my new friend. He’s very married and I don’t think he finds ponies attractive in that way. At all. Especially me. You don’t have anything to worry about, and neither do I. He’s pure friend material. So anyway, my new pal got himself a place. Remember that one lonely cottage, kind of wrecked, on the edge of town? The one not far from my place? Well, that’s the one. He was actually happy it was a little wrecked, he said it would give him a chance to think, since he was stuck here for a very long time. I admire him, mom. He’s a good guy. I wish there was a chance for us to have something more. I mean, it would be nice to have a special friend who was nice for a change, but, I’ve already forgotten about it. He’s out of bounds. Signed, Your loving little filly P.S. This morning I saw a part of him that was really hard to see. He usually wears clothes all over, so I’ve never seen it before. Nothing bad, I guess, just sad. He had so many scars, his back was covered, like all the original skin was gone. I’m ashamed mom. it made me sick. I mean, it was disgusting, but not him, you know? Anyway, I hope he's not upset about it. Chapter 4Dear Dashie-poo, I’m glad you’re not going to hurt yourself by pursuing him. You’ve been hurt far too many times and it breaks my heart. I’m sure he’s a fine, well, you never said what he was, but that doesn’t matter. Did you ask him what happened? Did he have an accident of some kind? Still, it sounds like the poor dear has some bad injuries. And don’t forget, you always have been and always will be my beautiful little filly. Signed, Your mother Chapter 7(This letter is written on hospital stationary with an unsteady script) He got hurt. Really bad. That idiot ran into a burning building to save some kid. Right now, they have him hooked to machines to help him breath and they don’t know if he’ll ever wake up. I’m by his side and I’ll stay until he wakes up or until the end. Mom, why do good people always suffer the most? I mean, he defends Scoots, then he saves some kid, and he’s a nice guy. He’s one of the few genuinely nice people I’ve meet. Mom, you know I don’t pray. I never pray. I never prayed when Nana was in the hospital. I didn’t pray when we faced that dragon. I didn’t even pray when I was up against Discord. But last night, I prayed for him. Dash Chapter 16Mother, First of all, it is not a made up name. I’ll have you know Alex Roberts means Bright Defender in his language. I can also tell you he’s not some low life clover dealer, mom. I didn't know Happy Daze was into that. Anyway, I dumped her as soon as I found out. Mom, I don’t know what kind of news you get in Cloudsdale, but Alex is the leader of the Paladins of Redemption. He's the personal champion of Princess Luna, in the same way the Elements of Harmony are the personal champions of Princess Celestia. He’s a good guy. Really good. You know how dad jokes about all my special friends being too good for me? Well, this time, he’s right. And I’m always afraid of losing him. Signed, A worried little filly Chapter 20Mom, I did something bad. Really, really bad. You see, before Alex came here, he spent the last sixty years “jumping” from one world to the next. He has a magic scroll that lets him talk back to where he started. Anyway, when he first jumped he was still married, and I kind of told him his wife thought we should get together. That was a lie. What really happened was I asked her permission, and she flat out said no. It’s been so long for Alex, but only about 8 months for Ann (that’s his wife). She still loves him and has a hard time letting him go. She knows it’s been a long time for him, and that I love him with all my heart, but she loves him too. Last night, before we left Canterlot, I let it slip. He say’s he forgives me, but what if he doesn’t? What if he’s just being nice about it. Mom, what can I do? I don’t want to lose him. What can I do? Signed, Really Really Scared P.S. He delayed the marriage for four months, so he can talk to Ann. I hope she says yes this time. I think I’ll say a little prayer to Luna every night until then. Every little bit helps.
