You've Got to be Foaly Kitty Me: Should Equestria Be Home?

August 18, 2015 (Wind Rust)

If it weren't for being woken up by Rainbow Dash at about nine the morning, I probably would miss breakfast.
I wake up from my dream to a big fling in the air almost ramming my face into Rainbow Dash's. As I safely back away to the other end of the bed, I see that her face is very tense.
"Where's Joshua?!?"
"I don't know. I just woke up, damn it."
"Do you at least know if he's a Wonderbolt or not?!?"
"Yes I do know. He is."
"So, he got free admission to be one then, huh?"
"Not really. He was originally going to be a stand in for you while you were gone at the Him-a-neighin's, but he overlapped the Wonderbolts in a race, one and a half times through a lot of training. That's how he became a Wonderbolt."
"Ugh! If you see him, tell him I've got a message with his name on it!" Rainbow Dash zips out of the house as I watch out my window.
"Well somepony's in a very bad mood right now. I better call Josh." I walk to the kitchen and grab my UCD. I go on my contacts and tap Josh's number. "Ooh, come on, pick up the UCD. Pick up the UCD. Pick up the UCD." I hear something.
"Wind Rust?"
"Yeah it's me. I'm just here to tell you that Rainbow Dash is not thrilled with you."
"I thought Pinkie Pie told me not to think anything of it. I knew Rainbow Dash would act that way."
"Well, what do you think Pinkie is, the element of honesty?" Josh doesn't say anything. "Sorry about that."
"Nothing to be sorry about. I'm just thinking."
"Okay carry on." Another long pause with 'him's and 'haw's from Josh's end ensuing.
"Okay. Yes, Pinkie isn't the most honest pony in the universe but she is very much considerate of her friends. She told me that Rainbow Dash wouldn't really care."
"She was even angrier than Millie Motive-"
Josh stops me. "Wait, I recognize what you said."
"What, Millie Motive?"
"Just Millie. It sounded like a japanese word."
"What's the word?"
"Mirai." Is that part of the title of a song? I think it is. Time to ask.
"Oh, like Mirai Start?"
"Yeah!" No wonder it sounded familiar. "Well, I gotta go. Practice starts soon. Bye."
"Bye." I hang up the UCD and put on the living room table. Suddenly, I think a bit. I walk to the bedroom taking a right at the corner of the living room and taking a left at the start of the puny hall. My... God. It's just like at Greg's house. Only, there's some differences. I look around the house again.
At my bedroom, there's a closet next to the entrance to the bedroom as well as two windows. One opposite to the closet, with a bed under it pointing towards the closet, and one perpendicular, which as opposite to a dresser, clockwise to the other window. The only thing missing is a poster.
The next room I enter is the guest room. Unlike the bedroom, the guest room has two closets that are perpendicular to the entrance to the room on the left as I enter. There are also two windows. One opposite to the closets, and one near opposite to the entrance. Two beds lie in the corners of the room facing the closets.
I walk back to the living room and examine what is different from what I remember of Greg's house. No curtains are blocking the beautiful sunlight on this Monday morning. Again, two windows appear as I enter. One opposite to a couch sprawled to the wall separating the entrances to the hall and the kitchen, and one opposite to another closet which is adjacent to the main entrance. In front of that window is the living room table that I set my UCD on.
I enter the kitchen next, which looks almost identical to the one at Greg's house. The only difference is that the washer and drier are replaced with a bucket of soap-water and a mobile cupboard next to it, filled with towels and washcloths. Suddenly I think of Josh. I hope Rainbow Dash won't be hard on Josh.
