Good Morning Equestria

Chapter 25- Just Breathe

"Good Morning Equestria. I am Somnambula, and this morning, we are going to take you away from all your troubles," Somnambula, the Pillar of Hope, sat with her back hooves crushed on a soft cushion, with the hosts all sat on similar cushions in front of her.

"This is so exciting! We have an actual hero of Equestria on the show! It's like Rockhoof all over again!" Silverstream quietly, but enthusiastically, declared, then paused, "Minus the smashing up the whole school."

"How fast to slow your lane is doesn't matter," Somnambula talked with a calm effect, "It is only the destination that matters. Now, I want all of you to close your eyes, join me as we relieve the stress and worries that we might have. By only breaking these walls, we can do further than we can possibly imagine."

"So soothing," Autumn sighed, "Your voice is like a warm breeze." Somnambula chuckled at the compliment.

"You mind is like a cloud, drifting free in the sky. We mustn't let that cloud be too heavy. Otherwise, it will become fog, and that will make our destination invisible to-"

"Oh, like the time Rainbow Dash tried to clear some patch of fog and I whizzed it back up again. It was super-duper fun!" Marble promptly gave a sister a glare of annoyance for interrupting Somnambula's motivational speech. Somnambula just rolled her eyes at her bearer's antics. She has seen enough of her craziness, light when she appeared on the Manehattan building lights.

"Yes, Pinkie," Somnambula said, trying to calm herself, "How let's all take a deep breath. Every creature take a deep breath in." Every creature did as she instructed, Pinkie taking a big mouthful of air.

"Now every, creature breathe out. Slowly and with care."

Every creature breathed out, but Pinkie's was different. She allowed her breath to carry her away, like a balloon without its hole tied up. When she finally landed away from her pillow. Every creature looked at her with the usual confusion Pinkie always gets. Somnambula turned to Gabby for answers.

"She's Pinkie Pie. That's all you need to know," Gabby simply explained. Somnambula just nodded with trepidation.

"That so super-duper relaxing, even better than Fluttershy's butterfly therapy. Twilight should really join into these. You should see her Twilighting. When she goes, she goes hard," Pinkie explained.

In the Castle of Friendship, the Princess of Friendship banged her head on the table.

"Well at least it's just a made up word, right?" She turned to her number one assistant, who held the Official Equestrian Dictionary.

"You might want to check again under T," Spike warned. She levitated the the dictionary and searched what she dreaded.

Twilighting (Verb)
To be involved in a serious so-called panic attack involving a messy mane, hyperventilation and small pupils in the eyes. Derived from the Princess of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle. See figure 1.0 for further details.

Underneath the definition was a ink drawing of said princess with a perfect panic look.

"Congratulations," Spike sheepishly said with trepidation, "You're officially a verb."

"Sweet Celestia..." Twilight squeaked.

"Now every creature, it's time to stretch. Those with wings, feel free to stretch them too. We much rid ourselves of the tension that is within out bodies," Somnambula instructed the hosts as she got up and stretched forward, much like a cat. The others did as she instructed, Gabby and Silverstream spreading her wings out in the process. Pinkie stretched as far as a long piece of pink silly putty. Every creature looked at her once again.

"How are can you stretch, Pinkie?" Gabby asked, though she feared the answer.

"Like this?" Pinkie said before holding her breath until her head deflated like a balloon and floated upwards. She opened her mouth and released all the air, causing her to fall back down to the ground. Every creature looked at her with stunned expressions, none more so than Somnambula.

"I can't believe this pony is in charge of saving Equestria," She muttered, "I fear the day she might doom it."

"Been there, almost done that," Pinkie chuckled wryly.

"I think it's best if we don't know about it," Gabby quickly intervened, which every head in the nodded.

"Well," Somnambula sighed, "I think that's my session over. Hope you all are more relaxed."

"Believe me, I think we're all relaxed not knowing what Pinkie Pie is capable of," Autumn joked.

"Just breathe and you'll be fine," Somnambula comforted them, "As they say, there are some things that are best left unsolved."
