Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,

How are things going in Equestria? Is Discord still annoying like you’ve told me a few days ago, or has he gotten better? Is it as it’s always been: busy and overwhelming? I guess that last part was mainly a joke for myself… especi~~ally back in Canterlot when~~—

Point is, something bad is happening here. It’s not like the Dazzlings or even when your… second self decided to steal our magic for “research purposes”... and it’s not like when, yours truly, was a bit of a hassle either: “demon girl” bullshit that everyone reminds me about.

We all played it off like a cold, or at least some of us tried to. I kind of knew something was off from the start; they all thought I was losing my mind or pulling some prank. I feel like Rainbow Dash would pull that type of “zombie horror film” stunt. Let me stop rambling…

They’re killing each other, Twilight. And I’m not putting that in as an overstatement to get you to run to our aid. They’re… dying. Twilight we’ve lost so many people already: Miss Cheerilee, Vice Principal Luna, Wallflower, Bulk Biceps. I don’t know how far this virus goes but I do know one thing for certain: I need your help.

Or anyone for that matter—or I guess I should say anypony.

Hey…? Nothing bad is happening there too, right? You’re just busy being a Princess, right? I know our worlds are kind of synced up but I… I don’t know if it's magic or a real virus and it’s scaring me.

Please get back to me soon.

Your friend, Sunset Shimmer.

Author's Note

Here's the letter Sunset Shimmer ended up sending to Twilight (I'd have added it to the other chapter but I feel like it needed its own little area)

A bit shorter than the others but that's because I didn't want the letter to be too long and I want the next chapter to be (hopefully) a bit longer than 1.5k or around that mark again.

Things are getting complicated in Sunset's world, and things will get worse.
