First of all - A letter sent to Princess Celestia at 18:00 p.m.

Dear Princess Celestia:

I know it's a widely known fact that bunnies don't write letters. It may be because we don't have fingers, or maybe it's because our mouth is a little different from yours and can't hold a pencil very well, but after all, it's possible for us to write. I mean, I'm a bunny and I'm writing this letter. That means it’s possible, right?

Yes, that's what it means.

Initially, I tried to dictate the letter to Spike so he would write it, but it seems like dragons can't understand Bunny Language. I can't say it's a surprise, because neither ponies can understand it. And... well, bunnies aren't very fluent in Bunny Language, if you want me to be sincere.

In fact, now that I think about it, bunnies don't have a language. Which is awful. We should have one.

Because after all, we're intelligent. Or at least I am intelligent. I understand the Pony language perfectly, and my grammar is better than Rainbow Dash's. After two hours or so trying to dictate the letter to Spike (using a mix of mimics, gestures and little screams) I took the pencil and started to write. It's a little tricky, but I think my handwritting is pretty understandable.

Wait a moment. Twilight Sparkle is here and she's saying that us bunnies don't have hands. I guess you already knew that, Princess Celestia, so I will not insult your intelligence POINTING THE OBVIOUS.

(Yes, Twilight Sparkle, I'm talking to you right now. If you don't like what I'm saying, the stop reading what I'm writing and talking about it.)

As you can imagine by now, I'm writing this for a reason. And I have nine ponies and one dragon looking at me while I'm doing it. Well, I have eight ponies and a dragon looking at me while I'm writing this. One of the three foals is just looking at my ears and saying things like “cute bunny” over and over.

Ahem.

This is not very traditional. You and I have never met, and I’m pretty sure you don’t know who I am (at least by now you know what I am. I mean... the whole “I'm a bunny” thing), but I’m a very close friend to a very close friend to your protégé, Twilight Sparkle. Today, Twilight has learned a new lesson about friendship. So has done Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Big Macintosh –he has learned also a very important thing about mares -, Rarity and those three fillies who are always looking for their cutie marks (they were in the Royal Wedding, you may remember them. One of them, the white one, it's the foal I mentioned before. The “cute bunny” filly). I like to think that Flutteshy hasn’t learned anything, because she knew it all along.

All of them had learned something, but I think that I can explain everything better than anyone. That’s the reason why I am the one who is writing this…

Oh, yes. Of course, I’ve learned something too. But... I’m afraid that it’s not related to friendship. I’ve also learned two things, dear princess:

First of all, we bunnies don’t like magic. I'm not trying to insult you, or the unicorns in general. I don't think magic is bad. I just think it's bad for bunnies.

And second and most important:

Bunnies

don’t

fly.

And we don’t fly because we don’t want to. There is nothing, nothing more horrible for a bunny than flying.

And now that you know that, I can start telling you everything. Hold on your hooves, because this is gonna be a long one... Next Chapter: Second - The second page of the letter, in which Twilight Sparkle messes up a spell. What a surprise. Estimated time remaining: 19 Minutes
