Author's Note: Here it is boys and girls, the newest in the line of Blue Breeze stories. Surprised this is out so soon? Well, I just hate to keep you guys waiting(unless I'm in a trollish mood *troll face*). To anyone who is seeing this as a newcomer, I HIGHLY recommend reading 'The Mark of Blue Breeze' and 'Continuing the Dream', otherwise you won't get any of this at all. Now with that out of the way, as I always say, on with the story.
Oh hey, it's you again. Long time no see(yep, I did it yet again. You mad?). What'cha been up to? Been having a nice Summer? Oh you might be wondering why I said Summer.
Well, a lot has been happened since you all left. It's been about two months since the whole Everfree Forest business and we're now in late July. Believe it or not things have actually been fairly quiet for my friends and I since then. I know, us and quiet doesn't really mix now does it? But just because things have been quiet doesn't mean everypony hasn't been keeping busy over the past few months.
Myself? I've just been keeping up my job at the weather office with the others, I've also been keeping in shape with help from both Drax and Graze, and I learned some new tricks. But I'll save those for later.
Although some things haven't been quite the same. Zeph did what he said he was going to do and used a bunch of his money to buy a house for him and Octavia to live in. They're not quite married yet, but the wedding's gonna be coming up pretty soon.
Zeph wasn't the only one to move out from the house either. With an extra room and need for more money, Vinyl invited Ice to come stay with her. That's not the only thing Ice did. He switched his job at the cafe to only be part-time so he can do special effects for Vinyl's shows. They've definitely become twenty percent 'cooler' since then.
Isn't it nice to see I kept my sense of humor and bad puns?
Anyway, since Ice isn't serving us at the cafe quite as often, we had to switch to paying full price. Vine actually... no, wait, never mind, she didn't get over that.
But speaking of Vine, she decided that since she goes into the forest so often that she'd just move in there. Fleur and Fern were scared at first, but after Vine told them about this secluded little lake area they decided to go with it. The lake's been really good with it being Summer and all. Vine says she's still working on that thing from a few months ago, but she says she's nearly done. I'm honestly starting to get scared for what she has planned.
On the mention of Fern, it's actually quite crazy, she started going out with some stallion named, um... Thunder something... Lane! That's it! She started going out with this stallion named Thunderlane. One day they got to talking when he came to the bar and it just sort of happened. You know what? I give up. I'm just gonna accept the fact that I'm bad with mares and just got lucky with Dash taking me.
But on to me telling you on what you missed out on. Another one is how Drax also changed his job at the weather office to be part time so he could become a personal trainer at the gym. He even trains the Wonderbolts besides Spitfire every once in a while. He's actually quite good at it.
Moving on we have Orion. He actually did invest and model a bit for that astronomy themed fashion line for Rarity. It got quite popular in big cities like Canterlot and Manehattan. I'm not one for clothes, but to each his own.
Rhino has been doing a bit with Fluttershy. Remember how Fluttershy didn't have much of a job? Well, Rhino got her a job doing small cases at the vet clinic. She takes care of small things and bigger things are sent to the clinic.
Graze spent his time to readjusting to life in Ponyville again. Ditzy was there to help him every step of the way, Graze was also doing great as a sparring partner for me. Dude's got mad fighting skills.
And last up we have everypony's favorite jerk that we love to hate: Dark. Believe it or not, he actually got a job. Twilight forced him to do it, but after what Twilight told him it was he jumped at the chance to do it. You won't believe what it is, he got a job for the library as the book return enforcer. What's that mean you may ask? Basically if a pony is late on returning a book, it's Dark's job to hunt 'em down and make 'em return it. Perfect for a guy as crazy as him, ain't it?
The others are doing just fine too. Sunny's flying lessons have been going great. She's just about done with 'em. Pinkie has been her usual crazy self, throwing parties and breaking the laws of physics as usual. She threw a party for Arbor Day. Can you believe that? The only one to really appreciate it was Vine though.
The only one not doing so good is Applejack. Ever since leaving Canterlot and Atom behind she's been depressed lately. She's been slower at Sweet Apple Acres, and just been more down in general. Seems waiting for Atom while he's in the guard, it's harder than she'd thought. I really feel for her.
...Anyway, that's what's been going on during the past two months. Some of it big, some little. After Zeph moved out, Ice moved out, and making his cafe job part-time, and Drax making his weather job part-time, I haven't been seeing my closest friends that much. It's a bit discouraging, but we still hang out enough to where it's not so bad.
But that's then, this is now. And right now I'm reclining back on a cloud above Ponyville. This is SO relaxing. The sun is shining brightly, there's a nice cool breeze to keep me from getting too hot, and I don't have a care in the world.
I sigh in relaxation. "Ah, this is the life. Nothing can possibly ruin this mome-"
"Hey, Blue!" a pony shouts as they pop their head through the cloud.
"HOLY BUCK!" I scream as I start backing up. I step back so far I run out of room. "W-Woah! Ah!" I fall off the cloud and am unable to catch myself as I hit the roof of a building head first. I then roll off the building and hit my chin hard as I hit the ground. I swear I nearly bit my tongue off there.
I groan in pain. "Ow... What the buck was that?"
The pony flies down and lands right infront of me. "Geez, sorry about that man. Didn't mean to scare ya."
I try to shake off the pain as I get up. "Well, just bucking watch it nex ti-" my eyes widen as I realize who the pony is. "Atom?!"
