//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Dragon's Mommies // by TAD2 //------------------------------// It's been 2 weeks since Spike was released from the hospital after his molting incident, and all the girls were surprised that he had not gone back in. With Rainbow teaching Spike how to fly like her, Spike had crashed so many times that the town's fields had become like the moon itself. So to make sure that Spike was ok, and that the mayor didn't get too upset with all the holes, it was decided that Spike would walk around town, until he had better control. But right now that was the least of the town's concerns, and it all started 3 days ago. Three days ago, Spike, got a letter from Celestia, but oddly enough it was to delivered to Mayor Mare. So Spike being Spike, took it to the mayor in town hall, and after giving Raven a smile, she waved him into the office. Mayor Mare was sitting at her desk going over some expense reports for new buildings that were being built in town, the repairs for a dam in her jurisdiction, and the outrageous number of parties that Pinkie had planned in the coming weeks. "I swear that mare is only going to stop when she transforms the world so everything is made of icing." She had almost 30 parties or events planned and she needed Mayor Mare so sign off on them to make sure that she could rally the town into song if needed. Spike laughed as he looked over the request. "Sorry about her Mayor, I know Mama can be a little over prepared." "It's fine Spike, but would you kindly not look over my shoulder, I know this is from you and her, but I do have other documents that are not for the eyes of a certain little dragon." She pressed her hoof against his nose and pushed him away. "Sorry, but do you have a moment?" Mayor Mare nodded. "Of course Spike, unless your here to tell me you made another crater in the field, then I would like you to leave." Spike started laughing. "Sorry, not today, Mom, and Mommy made that very clear, no more tricks." "Thank Celestia." Said the mare. "Now what can I do for the town dragon?" Spike showed the letter he got from Celestia. "Grandma Celestia sent me this, I think she wanted me to give it to you." She took the letter from Spike and it was indeed addressed to her office, with the royal seal and everything that was needed to make this official. She broke the royal seal and unrolled the paper. But sitting inside of the paper was another note, but this one was addressed to Spike. "Hold on Spike, this one is for you." Spike took his note and started to read it. Dear Spike. If you are reading this, that means that you have delivered the letter to Mayor Mare. Let her read her letter first, it will help you understand what I want you to do. Spike looked at the mayor. "Ok, she seems to want you to go first." Mayor Mare shrugged as she read her message. To Mayor Mare of Ponyville. This is a formal notification, that I, Princess Celestia of Equestria, have decided to grace your town with my presence and to hold the yearly Summer Sun Celebration in your town. Following this notification is a series of tasks that are needed to accomplished, please choose those you believe would be best for the job. Refreshments, Music, Decorations, Weather. Please note that I will be sending a trusted advisor to oversee the final lookover of these tasks. From the desk of her royal highness, Princess Celestia of Equestria. "Ok, I already have an idea on who can do all of that, but lets see what yours says." Said Mayor. Spike nodded as he skipped the first part. Ok, Spike, now that the boring formal request is done, I want you to get Fluttershy to get some of her bird friends to help with the music. See if you can get your Mom off her napping cloud to clear the weather, but don't be too mean if she is napping. I trust Rarity's artistic eye to do the decorations. And if you can swing it, see if the Apples could do the treats, I already went through last years Zap Apple Jam, and I really want some apple fritters, but see if Pinkie and the Cakes would like to help. This trusted advisor is Twilight and her friends, I know that the last time you saw them it was a very odd time, but could you please show them around the town as well? I have already made arrangements for them to reside in the Ponyville Library, Golden Oaks. Lastly, I want you to come see me before the event, I have something important to tell you. Love you Spike. From Grandma. Spike looked at Mayor Mare as she looked at him. "Well, I guess great minds think alike. I was going to ask them to do the same jobs as she wanted. But who is this Twilight pony?" "Right, you weren't part of that. She is just the mare that hatched my egg, but to avoid a war or something, Grandma, wanted to send me to live with my own kind, but some guard she asked to take me, decided to leave me in the Everfree, where Mamas found me." "Wow, I was expecting a little more anger in that statement." "Why, I love my Mamas, and I don't care if Twilight was the one who hatched me, I'm happy here." "Very good, well, I still have many things to do, why don't you go inform your mothers about their jobs and get ready for her visit?" Spike nodded as he walked over to the door. "Have a good day Mayor." She nodded at Spike. "The same to you Spike." Spike closed the door and Mayor Mare sighed. "Why do I have a feeling my job is going to be really hard soon?"
