~~Dear Twilight~~
To the Ruler of Equestria,
It's been over two years since we last talked. And aside from the occasional meetings and the many letters you sent me, we never had a conversation since that day. How have you been feeling? I hope you're not feeling too stressed out from princess duties.
I don't wish to bother you since you are incredibly busy with the upcoming Festival of the Two Sisters, so I'll get the point: I still don't forgive you. Without consulting any of us, what you did that day is and will forever be unforgivable. You keep telling me it was for the safety of Equestria, that it was the only way to ensure he will never cause trouble again. But you refused to listen to what he thought. Did you know what he said when he heard the news? He suggested taking his magic away as long as he's within Equestria's borders. He was willing to give that away so that he could stay here with us. He realized that he had made a grave mistake and was ready to go through that plan, yet you refused to listen to him. You exiled him and his magic out of Equestria, with some forbidden spell that we knew nothing about
You betrayed him, Twilight. You betrayed me.
Never in my life have I felt the meaning of "hate." I always saw it as a horrible thing to comprehend, but I knew I hated you, Twilight, deep down. I don't hate you anymore, and I don't wish to relive such emotions again. My heart, however, still cannot forgive you for what you did, and I'm still disappointed in you.
When you told us he could send letters, I was relieved. I was still angry, but I hoped that this would lead to you breaking that spell. But each time we try to discuss it, you refuse to acknowledge him. You treat him as if he was someone long dead, but he's alive Twilight! He has thoughts and feelings like you and me.
Each letter I receive from him is always a joy to read. But the fact that I can't hug him, hear his voice, or even see him here in person. Now, every letter makes me cry after reading it. The distance between us was killing me.
I know he made horrible mistakes. And I even understand if you can't trust him again. I never asked you to be his friend. I only wanted him to come back, and It's been two years! I miss him! Spike, Big Mac, even the crusaders miss him! Every letter he sends me nowadays asks how you are doing. If you were managing the kingdom alright and if you ever needed his help. He still cares about you, Twilight! All of us!
But I would be foolish in thinking there was some way to change your mind. All those letters you keep sending me to see how I was doing, what did you think? You thought sending me them every week would fix things? I know you still miss our friendship, Twilight. Pinkie tells me that your smile is fake whenever we're near each other. What happened to you?
It doesn't matter. This letter isn't another plea for his freedom. It's a farewell.
I've decided to move from Equestria to where Discord currently resides. I gave my cottage away to an earth pony family that had just moved into Ponyville. They once managed a zoo, so I think my friends will be far more loved and cared for than I could. Angel, however, is coming with me. Even when I told him he could stay, he refused to let me go.
I told all our friends, many of them supported my decision. Rainbow Dash, however, needed some time to process it, but she eventually understood. My family also understood and wished me the best of luck. You should have seen Zephyer crying like a baby. I'm going to miss them deeply.
By the time you get this letter, I will be far from Equestria's borders, and I won't tell you where I'm heading.
You might think I'm crazy; why am I leaving my life here for him? Simple, I love him—more ways than you would think. I'm sure you had your suspicions; Applejack wasn't even surprised when I told her. Pinkie was so happy for me; I almost thought she was about to cry. Rarity nearly fainted but is very knowing I feel in love. Rainbow was confused; she thought I was pulling a prank. She eventually warmed up to the idea and wished the best for me. The big question they all had in their heads was whether I should tell you. I could tell you why and how I fell in love with him, but I doubt you'll ever understand.
Pinkie wanted to throw this huge good-bye party, and she was close to inviting almost the entirety of Equestria. Good thing Rainbow stopped her just in time. I didn't want to cause a commotion, and I didn't want you to find out.
What happened to us, Twilight? When you first moved into the castle, I remember how you were worried that we would drift apart. I was afraid too, but after two years, I realized no matter how far someone is, your friendship with that creature will never die. Discord taught me that.
I wish we had a chance to rekindle, Twilight. I remember when you often visited me, asking about different animals and their interesting little quirks. Even when you became a princess, you still found time for me, for all of us. Despite everything, I still consider you a friend. Which is why the only thing I'm asking from you now is your support. Please don't follow me. I want to be left alone with Discord—someone who I've been distanced from long enough.
I hope you'll break the spell. I hope we meet again someday, this time without that fake smile on your face when you see me. Cause honestly, once I'm with him, I'm going to miss you.
Good-bye Twilight.
Fluttershy
