Dear Diary,

My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I am eight years old. I don’t know why I’m telling you this. You’re just a stupid book. Anyway, a lot has happened these past few months. Cadence went away to college while Shining stayed here. Cadence gave me this dumb diary before she left so that I could “write down all my feelings” and have something to “remember her” by. She’s not dead so I don’t see the significance of it.

Anyway, Mommy gave birth to the baby a few months ago. It was a boy. His name is Spike, because for some reason he has spikey hair. He’s not as bad as I thought he was. He throws things at Shining and farts on him too so that’s a plus. But lately...Shinings been a little sad. Like all he does is go to school, go to work, come home and then stay up in his room for the rest of the night. It’s like ever since Cadence left, his whole world fell apart. And even I can’t fix it.

I’m worried for him, diary. I’m worried he’ll never be happy again, and that he’ll never get over Cadence. I would never admit it to his face, but I’m scared. I’m scared he’ll never move on and he’ll just be a walking ghost of who he used to be.

My mom is calling me. I gotta go.
