"What the actual hay was that?!"
A very angry alicorn yelled at the purple eyed dog who just starred at her confused.
"W-what are you talking about?" He asked nervously to the princess.
Twilight scoffed, "I'm talking about your broadcast! You claimed that Granny Smith told you that there were angels that helped her, you said there were earthquakes in Ponyville, and how did you cause the music and lights?!"
Cecil looked at Twilight, afraid to answer he stuttered in his words. "My deepest apologies princess. But I'm not sure why you are ang-"
"I'm angry because you lied about all those things!" Twilight shouted, interrupting Cecil.
Cecil backed up nervously from the angry alicorn and said, "I'm sorry princess. B-but I didn't m-make those stories up. I'm j-just reporting on w-what I'm told to r-report on."
Twilight didn't believe him, and was about to shout in his face again until Granny Smith came by.
"Why howdy, Twilight. Did you hear? The angels came and did ma chores for me! What friendly creatures."
As Granny Smith walked away, Twilight froze, wide eyed. She didn't know what to say.
Cecil sighed, "Look Twilight, my broadcasts are one hundred percent honest, I swear. I don't believe in making fake news, it's stupid. I'm telling you and all of Pony Vale the truth."
"But, but, but the lights, and the music. How did you?"
"I didn't do any of it. I'm just a normal dog, I can't make these things happen. My job is just to report, I can't not report."
Twilight gave up and sighed, "But I don't understand. How could these things happen?"
"Look Twilight, I have to go now."
Cecil walked away from her and headed back to his radio tower.
"Cecil wait!" She said feeling bad about yelling at him, but he just ignored her and walked away.
Twilight and her friends all sat in their seats near the cutie map, drinking tea and cookies. Twilights face was on the table as she sighed angrily, "What did I do?!" She said, her words barely recognizable. She lifted her head and put a hoof on her cheek.
"I yelled at him and now he probably hates me. I was supposed to make him feel welcomed here, but now he might want to move away."
Rarity put a hoof in her and smiled, "Don't worry dear, I'm sure he knew you were sorry."
Applejack agreed, "It'll be fine sugarcube. But still, how'd he do those lights n' stuff?"
"He said he didn't do them," Teilight responded, "He says he is completely honest with his reports. But still."
Just then, the radio came on and Cecil's voice was heard.
Look out for a certain cloud, it might be dangerous. Welcome to Pony Vale. Before I get started, I would like to give a message to Princess Twilight Sparkle. I would like to tell her to not feel bad about what happened, and I forgive her.
Twilight smiled and felt relieved, she was forgiven.
And now, the news. Has any pony seen the strange cloud that's been hovering above Sweet Apple Acres? Our interns say that the cloud is changing color and is making a small humming noise. It also seems to have what appears to be an eye, and the cloud looks like a pyramid. Many residents are afraid by this because it reminds them of the Illu-mane-ati. But here at Welcome to Pony Vale, we say that is a bunch of Illu-ma-nonsense. Now, I have a different opinion on this cloud. Use it's random changing colors to teach your colts and fillies the colors. More on this story, later.
"Yeah I don't think I'm gonna to do that," Applejack said nodding.
There is something strange happening in the Everfree forest. Many witnesses say they are seeing strange shadows going in and out of the woods. But Zecora, the zebra who rhymes all the time, said that they were demons who managed to escape from a realm unknown to ponies. An unfathomable dimension. She said she used ancient voodoo magics to seal the monsters for awhile. She also warned me to tell you to run and leave Ponyville so that she could take care of the monsters herself. Can you believe she said she used ancient voodoo magics? What a jerk that zebra is!
"Should we be worried?" Rainbow asked Twilight who shrugged in response.
And now, a word from our sponsors. I took a walk on the cool sand dunes, brittle grass overgrown, and above me in the night sky, above me, I saw. Bitter taste of unripe peaches, and a smell I could not place, nor could I escape. I remembered other times that I could not escape. I remembered other smells. The moon slunk like a wounded animal. The world spun like it had lost control. Concentrate only on breathing, and let go of ideas you had about nutrition and alarm clocks. I took a walk on the cool sand dunes, brittle grass overgrown, and above me, in the night sky above me, I saw.
This message was brought to you by Pony Bucks Coffee.
Rarity shook her head and stared at the radio with a dumbfounded look. "What the hay was that?"
And now, back to the news. There has now been one reported death, the cause? The glow cloud. Now, an even stranger occurrence has happened because of the glow cloud. The glow cloud seems to be raining eyeballs from its core. Many officials are shouting questions at the cloud in order to get some answers. The cloud hasn't answered. It does not need to answer. Because it is not like us mortals. It is the king of the ever so fearful Illu-mane-ati. All hail. All hail the glow cloud! All hail!
Twilight and her friends slowly backed away from the radio. They were frightened by Cecil's sudden change in personality and voice.
And now, slaves of the cloud, the weather!
Twilight ran towards the window and heard the "weather" outside. She was even more frightened when she saw the cloud covering all of Ponyville. The eye of the cloud turned to look at her and rained eyeballs toward her direction. She quickly jumped away from the window and screamed when she saw the eyeballs coming from the window. They rolled onto the floor and blinked, staring at her. The group of frightened ponies, and dragon, quickly jumped on top of the table, trying to avoid the eyes from touching them.
Meanwhile, outside of Twilight's castle, the residents of Ponyville quickly ran to their homes. They locked their doors and windows, trying to escape the horror. Those who didn't escape fast enough had eyeballs in their manes. They screamed and wailed.
But as soon as the weather ended, so did the eyes. Twilight looked around and saw nothing. There were no more eyeballs. The lavender alicorn slowly trotted toward the window and saw that the cloud had disappeared. The radio came back on.
Sorry listeners. But it seems we had some technical difficulties here. I have no memory of what happened and it seems that all recordings of what happened have been wiped. In other news, the cloud seems to have disappeared. We are not sure where it has gone. But I believe there is a lesson here for all of us in this frightening ordeal. Just as a mysterious glow cloud comes and goes, so does life. And sometimes life throws eyeballs in our way. So that, dear listeners, is the moral of this story. I hope you've enjoyed tonight's broadcast and I hope to see you tomorrow morning so that we can all laugh at this frightening event. Goodnight Pony Vale. Goodnight.
Twilight and her friends turned to look at each other, clearly shocked from what had happened. Rainbow turned to Twilight with an even more shocked look.
"WHAT THE BUCK?!"
