Dear Princess Celestia,

As you know, over the course of the last couple of months, a lot has happened, both good and bad. And during those last months, my friends, my family, other ponies, and I have learned a lot and have grown better because of it. As I am currently still in the hospital recovering and you’re busy, I wanted to send you a letter like old times and tell you what I’ve learned.

I’ve learned that anything, even the seemingly most worthless things, can leave a huge impact upon a world, and that we should never let the daily trials and tribulations of our lives take over us as we stand with a blind eye to it. Seeing as how Midnight came to being after one restless night, I am more aware of myself than before, and promise to never let anything slip by me. And Raindrop, despite being a blind No-Pony without a cutie mark, was able to save us all and stop Midnight.

I’ve learned that, even in the worst of situations, there is always a chance of things turning out right. My Gruncle Borris, despite many failure, was finally able to rejoin our family. The alternate Borris, despite being under the influence of Midnight and recently being on bad terms with Dash, managed to break free from Midnight’s bonds, fix his relationship with Dash, and become a hero.

And finally, I, and many others, have learned that, despite whatever mistakes I may do, that my true friends will always be there to forgive me and guild me down the right path. The alternate Rarity has also learned this lesson as well after realizing that Midnight was causing her to go down the wrong path and almost caused the downfall of Equestria. Her friends knew that she made a mistake and forgave her, bringing them even closer. The Borris of Midnight’s world learned this also. He became a Mork and caused thousands of lives to be lost, yet with friends like Captain Dash and Rainbow, he was forgiven and even overcame the power of Midnight’s control to save us. My Gruncle Boris, despite creating the Alicorn Amulets and inadvertently created Empress Midnight, was forgiven by me and our family knowing that his intentions were good willed.

If only Empress Midnight believed as well, and not destroy herself, going deeper into villainy. Yet, I wonder, when I was nearly about to be sucked into the void with Midnight, I wonder of Midnight let me go, as if she realized what she was doing. Maybe there was some good still in her, I do not know. But if there was, I am grateful for her.

Other than that, I’ve been hearing a lot of gossip from the two Jacks, keeping me up to date on a lot of things going on during my stay.

Rainbow Dash, after reconnecting with Borris, has apparently joined in the Abnormal Weather Equestrians as a part-time volunteer. She has even learned the Flaming Rider from Borris during her time there, using the alternate Borris’ wing plates to help her.

Rarity and Sweetie Belle, after having their house rebuilt, have invited the alternate Sweetie Belle to help deliver dresses and clothing to her sister out helping the No-Ponies. Rarity has also rebooted her business and is back to making fancy dresses like before, but now having a small rivalry with Atlas’ heavy critique.

Applejack and her family have reunited and are back to working on the apple farm. Currently, they’re heavily producing pies on the side for the alternate Big Mac, Applebloom, and Granny Smith to take to their Applejack out feeding the No-Ponies. Actually, another thing that I would like to add regarding Applejack’s family. Apparently, while we were in Midnight’s world, Big Mac, Granny Smith, my parents, Jack’s sister, and a group of other ponies from our world banded together to form some type of guerilla-rescue team and released the mares in Midnight’s castle after we broke out.

Fluttershy has returned to her normal life tending to the animals. Although now that there are two Discords in our world, Flutter says that she’s keeping an eye on them and keeping them in place, though I have my doubts.

Pinkie Pie is currently half-way through writing her book about our battle against Midnight. I’m just a little concerned that she may stretch the truth at times and make it more “fun” or “action-packed” then it needs to be. But Jack claims he’s previewed a chapter or two with him in it and he says it’s great. (Then again, he is a little nepotistic at times and isn’t really the most trustworthy pony. But he’s the only one/two I see for days, so I have to take his word for it.)

As for Spike, (who is currently writing this), he is currently taking proper care of my castle and both our Owlowiscious and the one from Midnight’s world. Apparently one day, the second owl flew into the library while Spike was cleaning. The two are getting along greatly with one another and have even helped Spike get finished with the chores in double the time then from before.

My great uncle Borris has apparently united with all four of the Grump Brothers and started up a new research campaign in Manehattan. As long as it doesn’t lead to a superweapon that could create an inter-world dictator with one small mishap, I’m proud for them. He is currently with me and Spike as this letter is being written to you and is smiling as Spike is writing this statement.

From what I’ve heard, the two Lunas have helped many more ponies with nightmares and bizarre dreams than ever before. Your sister actually visited me one time a week ago and told me about what happened when she entered her alternate’s mind and fell asleep in it. She said, and I quote: “Never again, shalt I do it again.”

Also from what I’ve heard, Cadence and Shining Armour have been having… issues with their alternates. Apparently somepony mistook another as theirs and it created an entire dramatic episode throughout the Crystal Empire that lasted for several hours. Luckily, they managed to forgive each other, but are now more careful of who they are with.

If what I’ve heard is correct, is it true that you’ve been taking some days off of work with your alternate version taking your place with no pony noticing? It might just be a conspiracy that Jack found in some random magazine and took for truth, but I don’t blame you if you are. Some days off of work may help you connect more with the citizens and make some more personal friends.

And about Raindrop, I know it’s tough, but you will feel better. Everypony goes through heavy emotions at least once in their life. I should know, for I have seen Gruncle Boris, Borris, “General” Apple, myself, and many others, dealing with the loss of a loved one, either by death, betrayal, lying, to even the loss of one’s own innocence seeing how you can turn into a monster with the smallest of events. Raindrop was a great pony, maybe even the best, but you can’t cling to the past  and what could’ve happened. Instead, what would Raindrop want? She’d want you to live in the moment, aspire to the future, yet always keep her close to your heart, for a pony, any pony from any world, is never truly dead, the pony continues to live within the memories and actions other close to her perform. I wish you the best of luck and always keep her close in memory and action.

I hope to recover faster so I can see what beautiful changes have happened to Equestria instead of hearing about it through two doctors that I’m not entire sure are full-time doctors with proper licenses. But I won’t complain, for other ponies that have suffered through the war deserve the better doctors out there. Others and I have learned so much and have become better ponies, despite being in the worst of situations. Maybe when I’m better, I can use my magic to open portals to other worlds, to both learn from the better and guide the worse. Maybe I’ll even come across a yellow Twilight Sparkle, that would be so funny. But other than that, I am grateful for the life I have here and how every event, good and bad, has helped me to become the best I have, as should you and everypony else.

Your faithful student,

Twilight Sparkle

“So Gruncle Borris, what do you think?”

“I think it’s lovely.”

“It’s amazing how much room this scroll had for such a letter.”

“Spike, can you please send this to our Princess Celestia.”

“I will, I will, sheesh, you accidently send two letters to an alternate version of the princess and suddenly you can’t be trusted.”

“Thank you Spike.”

“Hey Twilight,”

“Yeah Borris?”

“You know, now that I’ve seen how well you have matured over the last years, I think it’s time.”

“Time for what?”

“I never thought I would even contemplate doing this, but, since you know, might as well let you see her in person.”

“Who?”

“Your sister, Isabelle,”

“You mean it?!”

“Yeah, since we have two Discords, breaking that Chaos Ice to free her from her preservation should be a cake walk.”

“But what about her powers?”

“I think you, two spirits of chaos, and doubles of everypony can keep her powers in check. It’s just finding her that’ll be an issue. I still have the mind and memory-span of a sixty-year-old.”

“But we will find her right?”

“Sooner or later Twilight… Sooner or later…”
