The Original Six

June 15th 1813

Getting the foals ready for school was harder than what my parents always made me think. But their lunches are packed, and their homework finished. Now I'm just sitting in my room writing this down. Nothing too important today, I have a meeting with Glade and Free Range in regards scheduling and such. Though I don't know how Glade will help, she's a bit of a scatter brain, but she insisted in being apart of the plan. We have to mark down events and birthdays for the up coming months and Free Range and i are the two most organized of the six of us, so it shouldn't take more than two-three hours. Anyway, that's happening and then I got to pick up Jairus's favorite gems from outside the city in the mountain, I get them at a good price because my uncle, Gold Digger, is head of the mines.So that is another thing on the list. I really don't know what else to put down right now, I'll come back in a few hours, maybe after Free Range and Glade have left. I'll see.
It is several hours later, and I am exhausted. Scheduling is hard, especially with some pony like Glade. She means well, so I guess I can't complain. I had Jairus pick up the foals because Free and I went over time with the scheduling and I couldn't pick them up. Glade asked him to pick up her sister, Ivy, up from school as well. Jairus, of course, was happy to do it and I'm going to have to reward him when I get back from the mines. I should go soon, but the foals should get a meal too...Well... I don't think they'll starve if I won't feed them for another hour or so, I mean they got back from school fifteen minutes ago, I'm sure they'll be fine. They'll be fine. Right? Oh, I don't know! What should I do? If I feed them now, then I won't get o the mines before their closed! If I leave now, my brother and sister may be starving by the time I get back!
Oh, dear. I think I'll ask Light Crystal and Midnight Swirl what they prefer. Okay, so I fed them first, and then ran from panic that I missed my uncle. But I came just in time! But barely. I was gasping for breath, and I almost collapsed of enjoyment from seeing Gold Digger still there. After I calmed down for a few seconds, I explained my situation and how Jairus needed the gems. He nodded, chuckled, and said he would gladly give me some gems for Jairus. He also told me to give his love for the twins, and I did. Now what do I do? I'll ask Celestia what the weather will be this evening. Maybe I'll take a walk to the middle of town and write out there, I'll have to take Midnight and Crystal too, Unless I get them to bed. It is still another hour until their bed time, so I guess I can wait until then.
It is several hours later, and Midnight and Crystal are tucked in their beds and I left Jairus to do what ever, as long as he's home at a reasonable time. I love the night. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed. I love the canvas of all the shades of blue above, sprinkled with white sparkly stars, and the moon with that welcoming face of the mare on it. All around me the crickets chirp, and the leaves rustle from the slight wind. Everything is illuminated by the moon making the town look bold, yet, mysterious. I bag of you, reader, when you have the time, come out at night and just sit in amazing beauty until the sun is raised once more. You will not be disappointed. Everything looks brand new at night. It feels tranquil, but also, so alive! I can't explain it, but please you'll understand if you see it yourself. Count how many constellations you see, I only see two. Ursa Minor and Sirius. Though, I don't know many. Maybe you can do better.
I already feel regret though, because you wont see the exact sky I am tonight. Even tomorrow's night sky will be slightly different than tonight. Maybe you could perfect Star Swirl's spell, and we could meet! Probably not though, I would like to communicate with the reader in some way, though. Maybe you'll find this when I am a grandmare! Or even a mother! Wouldn't that be great? I would love that. Anyway, the night is beautiful right now, and I can't describe it in a more detailed way than I already have. I know, too, the tragic story of the night. Of how Princess Luna was banished and exiled to the moon because no pony would stay awake at night so she wrongly disobeyed Celestia, and well, now she is trapped. At least, that's the old mare's tale anyway. But still, the mare in the moon is up there and sometimes I want to believe that it is true. Even though I know it's not.
No pony else is out here though, so I don't mind righting down my crazy and foalish dreams. I should be getting home though, but the grass I'm laying in is cool and comfy, and I think I should stay out here for at least another hour. Actually, I think it's not even 10:00 yet. I got time to just lay here and write. I wish there was some pony out here with me though, But I guess, in a way, you're out here with me! I am thankful for that. I don't mind being alone, I just prefer the company of others. Harper doesn't like to be alone at all, Neither does Sun Down. I just prefer to be with ponies. I want them to see this night, but I don't want to disturb them from any night time activities like reading or cleaning. Maybe Jairus isn't busy! I could ask him!
It turns out I didn't have to get him at all, I got up and was heading towards my house to see if he was there, when I saw Mezzo practicing his cello! He was just sitting there! On the park bench minding his own business. I asked him if I could join and he agreed. I asked hi why he was out at night, and he explained to me that he was feeling a little bit stressed. I asked him why, and he told me that he still didn't have enough courage to ask Harper out on a date. I chucked a bit and explained that he is brave enough to face certain death, but when it comes to Harper he runs away crying. He nudged me and explained that it is different with mares. When I said, "What kind of a mare would turn down that face?" he told me that it is very likely that Harper would.
I disagreed with him. I told him that Harper would be a fool to turn him down. I pointed out that he is a very talented musician, a gentlecolt, kind, polite, and very handsome. He avoided my complements and continued to play his cello. He explained to me that he creates his own music sometimes and that this one he plays when ever he thinks of Harper. I asked him the title of it, And he said he titled it My Melody's Source. He kept strumming the sad, yet hopeful tune and all I did was listen. He then started to do the most incredible thing! As the notes got to the lowest tenner notes, he started to sing.

I see you,my love, every day, my love
And I know, my love, that you'll never see, my love
The passion and longing I feel for you
You'll never see, what you can't see!

But you are the reason why
I feel I can touch the sky
The reason why
My soul can't die
You'll never know
You're my melody's source

I know what this means, my love, the only thing, my love
That keeps me from you, my love, is the fear, my love
The fear of I losing you
But you'll never see what you can't see

You are the reason why
I feel I can touch the sky
The reason why
My soul can't die
You'll never know
You're my melody's source
I told him that that was the first time I heard him sing, and was blown away by it. He blushes, and finishes the song. The the last note echoed away, Mezzo thanked me. He asked me if Harper would like it, which I couldn't lie to him about, so I told him "yes". He blushed a noticeable red, even at night, and said thank you. Mezzo then excused himself, and said that he wanted to be in bed before 10:00. I agreed, explaining I should do the same. So, I am now in my room and laying in bed. But I don't want to sleep yet, so I'm continuing to write. There isn't really a reason why I've been writing literally all day and night, other than the order given by Celestia.
I think I just want to give the entire experience of living my life. Even though it has been pretty uneventful for the past two days. I don't really know how to make this exciting though, maybe Celestia will need the six of us soon and then I'll have something to right about. Until then, I'll just have to keep on rambling until I decide on a good place to stop for the night. I really don't know if my life seems very interesting so far, but this is all I got. I hope Mezzo gets the bravery to ask out Harper though, I always thought they'd be a good couple. I don't know for sure though. A unicorn and an earth pony in love, that would be unique to see. I've only seen unicorns with unicorn, pegasi with pegasi, and earth ponies with earth ponies. But maybe it's time for a change. It's not like two mares or two stallions getting married! That would be utterly ridiculous and insane! I'm hoping Harper and Mezzo are getting together though.
I guess there isn't much more to say about today, other than just recapping. But I don't really need to re-say anything I've already been saying. It is almost 10:15, so I should be getting to bed so that I can get up early to get the foals to school. I'm not tired enough though so I think I'll reread a few chapters of one of my books and then go to sleep. That sounds like a plan! I like plans, they make me fell better about the day. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, but I think it's going to be fun! Maybe I'll talk to a friend. Maybe we'll be sent somewhere to fight something. I don't know though, and I won't know until I wake up tomorrow. I think I do need to fall asleep though. I guess this is as good as a time than any to leave this day here.
Sincerely, your friend,
Angel.
