To Princess Celestia,

I write to you in order to express great concern.

I have recently learned of an individual who is widely disliked for reasons which are not readily apparent. Those who speak of him do not use his name, referring to him only as “that guy.” I know very little about him, but several times I have heard it said that one would not want to be him, implying he is not looked upon favorably. I understand the feeling of being unwanted, and it pains me to learn that this feeling is being inflicted upon another. If it is true that no one wants to be him, then perhaps neither does he. If I can meet with this individual, I wish to befriend him.

I have attempted to confide in Anonymous, but he was reluctant to tell me the individual’s name or the reason for his status as a pariah. I believe this is because he holds a concern for my own feelings, because he hugged me and expressed a desire for me to remain pure, as if the knowledge of this individual would harm me in some manner. While I am grateful beyond words to be cared for in such a way, I yearn to extend that care to one who needs it far more. My search has been fruitless so far, but I will not give up.

Stu

Letter 136

Dear

In case haven't noticed, accidentally lost some words. Don't panic, is k. Will wear off soon, maybe days at most. As long as don't talk about, or write to, or talk to at all, really won't even notice missing. Until, focus on duties. Can handle.

Letter 136.1

Could not handle. Need old. Come soon.

Letter 136.2

Dear Princess Sunshiney Hiney,

Good news! Everything is k now, and with no lasting damage to anything I care about. We'll be arriving in Canterlot tomorrow morning because we're taking the train like peasants. By pure coincidence, this gives us time to wait for the chaos to die down so we don't have to deal with the worst of it. We really wanted to get back immediately, honest. It's just that Luna was so tuckered out from teleporting all the way here and using her old lady magic to break the thing,* and we didn't want to put even more strain on her precious little headbone. It's definitely because of that, and not because Anon bribed her with the promise of sharp cheddar squeeze cheese from the human world if she stayed back with us. Oh well, safety first.

Your mythic rare,
Dumb Whisperer

* I miss the thing. Talking in funny symbols was fun.

Also, I forgot to mention: Twilight is disappointed in you, and frankly so am I. We specifically requested old, and you sent Luna? By herself? What if she wasn't old enough? For shame, Sunbutt, for shame. Because of this, you will only be getting a single massage from me on your day off. That's right, I was going to give you TWO (2) massages, but your selfish behavior has cost you. I hope you learn from this going forward.

Love, Anon

P.S. - And I was going to make a cake for you, but guess what? You're only getting half now.
