The next morning dawn came in a hazy pale blue. It was the usual time for Hilfe's parents to awaken from their rest. After a stiff groggy stretch, they went about their daily chores. Her mother, Dearly Dove, began breakfast while her father, Schaffer Ganz, washed up for the day.
After combing his beard and mane, Hilfe's father went to wake up the twins. Rabble and Rouser stumbled out of their beds and shuffled out like a pair of lost ducklings. While they made their way to brush their teeth, their father knocked on Hilfe's door.
"Hilfe! It's time to get up, your mother's getting breakfast started!" He called.
The old horse waited for his daughter's reply, but received no answer. He stared at her door, wondering if he should check to see if she was awake. With the day she had yesterday, though, he decided to let her rest just a bit more.
The twins were up to their usual mischief. They splashed water on each other and everywhere else. There wasn't a moment or activity that couldn't be made into a game for them. While in the house, they were under constant supervision to make sure they didn't break anything. Even the simple task of getting ready for the day required their father's full attention. But after half an hour, they were presentable enough to go downstairs and eat.
Schaffer was about to join them, but saw that Hilfe had not opened her door. He gave it another knock, "Hilfe? Are you alright?" He pressed his ear against the door and listened.
Nothing.
No tired groans, not shuffling of the bed, or even hoofsteps. Just white noise.
The workhorse opened the door with a hollow creak. He scanned the room for his daughter. The bed was made, her dresser seemed untouched, even her pet gecko slept quietly in its tank, but no Hilfe. However, what did catch his eye was the small pink envelope that rested on her bed.
His heart pounded in his throat as he hurriedly opened the letter and read its contents.
Downstairs, Dearly Dove finished cooking biscuits and gravy for her hungry family. She started making plates for the twins when her husband came sprinting down the steps.
"She's gone! Hilfe's gone!" Schaffer gasped.
"W-what?!" Dearly snapped in shock.
"She went to Canterlot! Must've left last night, I found this note on her bed!"
Dearly took the note from her husband and it read:
Dear Mom and Dad,
I am in no doubt that you both are worried sick about me. But don't. I'm more worried about the house, the twins, and the youngest on the way. So, I am going to Canterlot, as I said, to become a maid for the Princess. Expect a check in the mail as soon as possible, so Dad can hire someone to help him with repairs instead.
Like I said, don't worry. I don't plan on staying in Canterlot forever, I just want to help us get ahead for once. Please, don't try to follow me, mom still needs help after all. I only ask that you all have faith in me to do what I need to for the family. I'll be sure to send a letter as soon as I get settled.
