A day at the beach!

The light streamed elegantly onto the hot summer sands. The sound of water flowing softly fills the air along with the gentle smell of tangy ocean air. The sun sat right above the beach glaring onto the water giving it wildly varied yet sporadically fluctuating colors. The weather was calm but oppressively warm making the water extra inviting on this fine day.

Wildlife and ponies skittered across the wet sand. A few would tread to the dry parts only to realize the horrors of sizzling hot sand and scurry back to the safety of the embracing sea. Its waters provide a cooling respite to all the current visitors and inhabitants.

A wooden stand with a roof of tree fonds sat at the middle of the beach for those who brave the burning sands. It offers a large selection of drinks served in simple stylistic glasses or coconut halves depending on the drinks. A large mixture of ponies crowd the stand and chatter excitedly about their amazing day while enjoying a rejuvenating drink.

The stand mixer was a masterful pegasus with a soft blue coat with matt gray mane that has a black streak. He juggles several mix drinks at once cleverly using his wings in ways one would not think possible. At any given moment the pegasus would shift his wings and allow drinks in closed cups to roll from one wing to another causing it to tumble and mix well while also taking the next order. Once a cup had nearly fallen he would jerk the wing sharply tossing the drink to the opposite wing. He would catch it gracefully and slide it across the bar with a confident smile.

Across the sand in the water is a small party of ponies. They bounce a ball between each other playfully while splashing as much as they can. Periodically one of the ponies will dive to see the deep expansive underworld in the sea. Just under the water was a massive coral reef with colors of all sorts. The reef bustled with wildlife at nearly every visible place. The fish swam by flashing the vibrant hues of blues, yellows, and oranges. The water itself almost pulsed with energy causing various plants in the reef to flutter about. 

As the day went on the sun began to set. The general activity of the day slows as the energy in everypony begins to falter. Colder air offered by dusk causing wildlife to retreat slowly back to the sea and ponies to rush to the still warm dry sand. The wooden stand now vacant and everypony packed up and leaving before nightfall. The beach sits peacefully quiet with the soft beating of water pushing and pulling gently on the slowly chilling sands.
