Letters to the Princess

Dear Auntie Tia,

Thanks for checking in. Things are going well, I think. We’re all okay. Aunt Rarity’s doing great — no after-effects, and Aunt Twilight comes to take her to town once a week, though they meet a little way down the mountain, out of sight. It’s a compromise that works better for everypony.

Cozy and me take it very easy. We knit, we embroider. We do a little woodwork. We tell each other stories, and it doesn’t matter if they’re made up or real. There’s no one here but us and Rarity, and none of us mind. We play a lot of chess, obviously.

We’re…happy. It’s taken a while to find the balance, but yes, I think we’re all happy.

Thank you for thinking of us, and for writing to me at the palace instead of at home. I’ll come and see you next week. I’ll be in Canterlot for the Gala, but I’ll come the night before and spend it at yours, if that’s okay. I can’t wait to catch up. I want to hear everything about how Skydance is doing in the secretary job — and in the big city! I’m so glad you gave him a chance.

See you soon.

Love,
Flurry.
