Georg's Rock This Barn (Estee's "Fanart: Three Pieces, Many Colors")

Author's Note:

[Comedy][Slice of Life]

The following is a snippet from Estee's blog "Fanart: Three Pieces, Many Colors" (428 words, 3 pictures, #DailyEquestriaLifeWithMonsterGirl, #Bitter/Sweet)

BLOG SUMMARY: Among the fanart on display is a piece by Harwick, experimenting with the different body types the Mane Six have in Estee's work. Georg noted how the small and slender Twilight will have quite the adjustment period when the alicorn growth spurt kicks in. Herald of Opera added how she'll have to adapt to the magic of the other tribes as well. And then, well...

"I'm sorry," said Twilight in her absolutely most sincere voice, in a way that Applejack knew without a doubt was perfectly honest and without a shred of deception, although she could also sense a whole stack of apologies for past misdeeds behind it, and worse, a whole passel of future apologies for whatever Future-Twilight did next week, or next year.

"That's fine," said Applejack. "The barn was already plum near ten years old and startin' to look a bit shabby. We was probably gonna hafta tear it down and rebuild next year anyway. Jus' gonna be a little early, that's all. Asides, it was me who brought up politics while we was walkin' anyway."

Princess Twilight drooped even more in the afternoon Sun, little flecks of charred wood dropping out of her mane and a faint ring of dust still coiling unnaturally around her. "I stomp when I get aggravated. You know that."

"Yep." Applejack took one last look at the location of the Southwest barn, or at least what was left after a hundred-trot-tall spur of rock had burst out from under it and provided propulsion to send it, or at least most of it, into what could be considered Equestrian orbit. "Don't worry, Twi. We'll work on it."

And thus the Equestrian Space Program was born, with the goal of safely landing a barn on Moon and returning it to the planet. Hey, they're half-way there.

Did Misplaced Mage's comment about the EASPA ever make it into this series?

I could see the EASPA finally building a rocket that could get a mare to the moon and return with a piano, only to find that the piano is now buried underneath the wreckage of an entire barn. It'll require heavy equipment to clear the remains of the barn, using rocket technology that's a decade off. Twilight's "accidental" delaying tactic worked perfectly.
