Dear Princess Celestia,

I am writing to inform you about a recent outbreak of a magical disease in Ponyville. Rest assured that it has been dealt with and everypony is safe and sound! A patron of the library accidentally ordered a powerful magical artifact from the Canterlot Archives. When it was delivered it started a contagion that turned almost the entire town into dragons. Fortunately the Apples were able to help us establish a quarantine and I was able to cure everypony using the same relic that began the epidemic. It was very exciting, just like an adventure out of a Daring Do book. All in all it was a very eventful weekend!

Your Faithful Student,

Twilight Sparkle

No sooner had Spike sent the letter than an involuntary belch of fire brought another into existence. The lavender unicorn snatched it up with her magic and unrolled the parchment.

Dear Twilight,

I am glad to hear you had an exciting weekend. We have had an exciting weekend as well! Please bring the relic to Canterlot. Tell Spike I said hello.

Yours,

Princess Celestia

Twilight stared at the princess’s odd and prompt reply, her brow furrowed in puzzlement “That’s kind of stra-- Oh...” She held up her newly formed claw, then groaned at the ceiling as she crumpled the letter in her hand.

“Oh yeah,” Spike said, laughing sheepishly. “I sent a letter to the princess letting her know how things were going...”

Author's Note

I have to say, I really enjoyed writing this! Thanks again to Fernin for putting up with all of my ideas, good and bad, and providing invaluable support via editing and feedback. Check out his stuff! (Hilariously, Fernin pointed out to me that I had misspelled "editing." It is now fixed.)

I got this done up cause I was enjoying the concept so much. That's Sapphire Starlight on the left (Sanctuary of Lights) and Featherfall on the right (from my upcoming story, Featherfall)
