“Honey, Wake Up! It’s time to get ready!”
A yellow pegasus lied in bed, moaning sleepily at her mothers call. She grabbed the fluffy pillow from underneath her head and placed it over her ears, hoping to stop any noise that would disturb her sleep.
“Goldy, come on! I know you can hear me! You need to get ready! Now!”
She groaned as she removed the pillow covering her ears and got up from her bed. Her hooves touched the ground with a thump as she walked out of her room and into the bathroom at the end of the hall. She turned the lights on and looked into the mirror to take a look at herself. She had a nice yellow coat with wings on her sides that was gold colored at the tip of her feathers, red eyes that seemed to glow, and a very messy mane that was many shades of blue. Mythical Gold sighed. She was never a morning pony.
“Gold! Are you up yet!” her mother yelled.
“Yeah! You can stop yelling now!” Myth shouted.
“Okay and be quick. We’re leaving in an hour,” her mother responded.
“Got it!” Myth grumpily replied. After brushing her teeth, she took a quick shower and after drying herself, put on her favorite hoodie. She looked into the mirror again to put her mane into a ponytail. Next, she put on her grey beanie and placed her headphones around her neck. She looked at herself in the mirror one more time before heading towards the living room. When she arrived, she saw her mother. A beautiful unicorn, with a light pink coat, a dark red mane, and a purple purse as her cutie mark.
“Hey mama,” Myth greeted. Her mother looked up and smiled softly.
“Good morning sweetie. How was your night?” she kindly asked.
“It was great. Though I’m still really tired,” Myth tiredly answered. Her mother stopped smiling and simply raised her eyebrow.
“Sleepy tired, or ‘I don’t want to do anything because I’m lazy’ tired?”
“Normally, I would say sleepy tired so I can go back to sleep, but I know that’s not happening, so I’ll just tell the truth and say lazy tired.” Myth’s mother rolled her eyes.
“I should have known. I hope your lazy flank has made sure to get everything you need and want. If you leave something here, we can’t go back here and get it.”
“Don’t worry mama! I packed everything last night,” Myth reassured which brought a smile back onto her mothers face.
“Good. Though, I hope you remember you’re carrying your own stuff.”
“I am not THAT lazy mama. You have seemed to forget that I carry stuff.”
“And you have seem to forget that you only do that after you’ve asked if you have to and I answer with a yes. If I say no, you wouldn’t carry anything.”
“Ugh...I hate it when your right,” Myth said with a pout as her mother giggled.
“Even though your extremely lazy, that doesn’t mean you don’t have redeeming qualities dear. You always seem to make others happy. Remember when you got your cutie mark? You actually went shopping, something you absolutely hate to do, to get a scarf for Violet. Oh, I remember the way she practically lit up when you gave it to her. What did she say? It was like, um,” her mother put her hoof to her chin as she tried to remember what happened.
“Thank you Myth. You have no idea how much this means to me. You always seem to make us happy,” Myth quoted without any pauses and hesitation.
“Yeah! That’s exactly what she said! And after she said that your flank glowed and you got your cutie mark!”
“It was her birthday! Plus, I just knew she felt really sad. I would be a horrible best friend if I didn’t give her something that made her happy,” Myth said with a small blush. Desperate to change the subject she spoke again, “And maybe I wouldn’t be so lazy if somepony stopped waking me up so early.”
“If I didn’t wake you up, I would be on my way to live with your father while you sleep all day. Do you really want that?” she questioned. Myth’s ears went down at the tone of her mother’s voice. She’s kind and gentle, but you do not want to make her mad. She would never hurt Myth, but she does gives unfair punishments, like taking away Myth’s precious headphones for a whole month. She couldn’t listen to any form of music and to Myth, it was like losing air.
“No,” Myth mumbled. After a couple of seconds of silence, her mother gave her walked up to Myth and hugged her.
“Don’t look so down honey. I know it’s hard moving, but I know you’ll just love your new home. Now come on, you need to eat before we go. It’ll take a while until we arrive at Ponyville. You don’t want to starve.” That got Myth’s mood up. She walked into the dinning room and saw that her food was ready. It was her favorite, haycakes. She quickly ate haycake after haycake until Myth heard her mother call for her.
“Myth we need to go now! We don’t want to keep your father waiting right?” Myth nodded and picked up her luggage. They went outside of their house and onto the streets of Manehattan. Myth and her mother got themselves a taxi ride to the train station. During the ride, Myth looked around at the city she lived in all her life and frowned. She was going to miss this place. She was going to miss all her friends.
“Was this what daddy felt when he left?” Myth thought. Myth sadly sighed. She never wanted to leave, and when her mother asked her if it was okay to move in with her dad, she was wanted to say no. She could have said no. Her mother wouldn’t be mad at her, but the look she gave Myth when she asked was begging her to say yes. So Myth agreed. Ever since her father moved to Ponyville for work, her mother has been depressed. She tried to hide her sadness, but Myth always seemed to know when someone felt down. She always did her best to make her mother happy. She looked at her mother who had an excited look on her face. Myth smiled at the sight. If leaving Manehattan would make her mother happy, then she would.
“We’re here,” the taxi man said as he stopped in front of the train station. Her mother paid the taxi man bits with a thank you as Myth took the luggage out of the taxi cart. They both went inside the train station to wait for the ride that would take them to their new home.
“The train should be here in about ten minutes,” Myth’s mom stated. Myth hummed in response and put her headphones on to listen to her music. About six minutes had passed by when Myth heard somepony call her name. She removed her headphones and looked at her mother to see if she was the one calling her, but her mother had her reading glasses on and was using her magic to levitate a book she was reading. Thinking she had imagined it, Myth was about to put on her headphones again until she heard her name again. She looked around once more, but saw nopony.
“Hey Myth,” A very familiar voice called out from behind her. Myth jumped and turned to face the pony who startled her. The pony, no ponies, that she saw made her jaw drop. It was her two best friends, Violet Love and Blueberry Ace. Violet was a light purple unicorn, with blue eyes that matched the color of her horn, a flowy dark purple mane, and a purple heart for her cutie mark. She was wearing the very dark purple scarf Myth had given her for her birthday. Ace was a earth pony and she had a blue coat, dark blue mane with white tip that was up in a high ponytail, a right black colored eye, and a left red colored eye. She wore a grey bandana around her neck and didn’t have her cutie mark yet.
“Wha...What are you guys doing here?” Myth questioned. Violet gave her a ‘really’ look and Ace just smiled wider.
“We’re here to see you off, duh,” Ace replied. That left Myth speechless.
“What? You think you would just leave without a goodbye?” Violet said playfully. After a taking a couple seconds to understand what was happening, Myth tackled both of them in a big hug. Myth’s mother looked at them with a smile and couldn’t help but take a picture with the camera that she had took out of her bag.
“You guys are the best!” Myth squealed.
“Tell us something we don’t know,” Violet said. Myth rolled her eyes and let them go from her bone crushing hug.
“I still can’t believe your here,” Myth said. Violet smiled softly.
“Of course we’re here. You’ve been there for us, it’s only fair we do the same. And unlike you, I don’t like sleeping in.” Violet said.
“What she said. Except for the sleeping part. I love sleeping as much as you,” Ace commented. Myth laughed softly. She was about to say something, but was interrupted by the loud noises of the train.
“All aboard! Next stop, Ponyville!” The worker called. Myth looked at the train and looked back at her friends.
“That’s my ride. I gotta go, but I promise we’ll see each other again.” Myth said sadly. The three friends hugged each other tightly.
“Good luck in your new home,” Ace spoke from within the hug.
“And don’t you dare replace us!” Violet said. Myth giggled and broke away from the hug.
“I won’t,” Myth promised. Her mother called her over and she waved bye to her friends. She got her luggage and looked up at her mom who smiled back at her. They both went to their seats in the train. As it started moving, Myth looked out the window to see her friends waving goodbye. She waved back and continued to look out the window until she couldn’t see them anymore. She sat down on her seat with a sad sigh and put on her headphones. She looked at her playlist and chose one of her favorite songs. As the beginning instrumentals of the song were playing, she yawned and slowly closed her eyes, smiling sadly. She would’ve looked fine if it weren’t for the small tear going down her face.
