Dear Princess Celestia,

                                       today, I learned a valuable lesson about my family and myself.

You have a younger sister so, have you ever asked how much she loves you? Because I asked that about Twilight.

I remember than when I first met Shining Armor, I didn´t even understood who he was or why Twilight was so happy to see him. When I was told that he was her brother, I could only ask if he was my brother too because, isn´t that what I am to Twilight?

I have been called a lot of things, “baby”, “assistant”, “Spikey-Wikey”; but I don´t recall Twilight ever calling me “brother” and if I´m not her brother, then what am I?

So early this day, I made a terrible mistake. I tested Twilight´s heart.

I wanted to see if we are like the Apples, a family that does everything together but Twilight didn´t appreciated me turning her laboratory into an explosive bakery. Rarity and Sweetie Belle showed that siblings don´t always have to agree but they can help each other, unfortunately when my “assistance” turned Twilight into a mouse, I understand why I am left out of many adventures. I even tried to show Twilight I was more responsible and learned from her by paying visits to my friend phoenix. It all ended up with me chased by an owlbear that followed me right into the town square.

At the end of the day, Twilight found me crying under the stairs. When she asked me why I´ve been causing nothing but troubles all day, I yelled at her. I told her that if she loved me she should spend more time with me and don´t leave me away from important things like her birthday party. Twilight looked me straight on the eyes and made me remember that day, remember the ice-cream party we had and how I fell asleep right away with a full tummy. We both laughed, remembering the ice-cream fight we had. She told me I was so tired that I didn´t even noticed when she left me a note and a kiss on the cheek.

Have you ever seen Twilight blush, Princess? Because I think I did.

Twilight drew closer and told me that she never wants to leave me behind, but sometimes she has to and that no matter how far apart we are, she never forgets about me. Then I asked her “How come you never call me brother then? Aren´t we family?” and she said “You are Spike. I don´t need to call you anything else,” and you know what, Princes? I think she's right, I don't need to call her anything but Twilight either.

So I learned my lesson of not testing the feelings of your loved ones. For practical reasons, you could end up making their magic bounce on a mirror and turn them into a rodent. And for other reasons, you´ll feel like a fool every doubting how they feel about you,

                                                                                                             Your loyal subject,

                                                                                                                                 Spike.
