A Faithful Student of Hula (Color)

"Dear Princess Celestia:

 I think I have surprised even myself here on my Hawaiian vacation. I'm learning how to hula dance from a book by Ponyville's resident dance instructor, Hoofer Steps. After learning to stand on my back hooves for extended lengths of time, I've learned some basic moves in "hula auana", or modern hula. My new human friends are teaching me the rest at a park where they teach hula to the local children. The kids, or "keiki" as they call them, screamed in delight when they learned I was a real princess. I'm having a great time here in Hawaii. But I'm having a hard time trying to find a book on learning the more athletic "hula kahiko". I guess I'll have to learn it the old-fashioned way.

With Aloha,
Always Your Faithful Student,
Princess Twilight Sparkle."

How else is Twilight going to learn hula? At least she is an eager student and dressed for the occasion. The Princess of Friendship wears a Hawaiian sundress and hibiscus in her mane as she learns another hula step from one of her beloved books.
