//------------------------------// // V is for Vacation // Story: EqG Tales: Alphabet Edition // by Brian Sheil //------------------------------// Inside a hotel room in Hawaii, Celestia and Luna finished unpacking their stuff, and get ready to relax. "Ah." Celestia sighed. "Here we are, Luna. Hawaii. A great place to go on vacation." "I agree, sister." Luna replied. "Plenty of beach action, tropical atmosphere, an a great view of a volcano outside out room." Celestia went to where Luna was, and saw a volcano at a distance. "Good call, Luna." Celestia cheered. "I'm glad we're traveling together." "Me too." Luna agreed. "We both needed a break from our duties at school." Later, at a beach, the sisters relaxed in their lounge chairs, with a good view of the ocean. Wearing a blue one piece swimsuit, Celestia smiles at what Luna was wearing. She had on a light teal top and a lime green bottom. And, she also wore a red wrap with yellow flower designs all over. "A true tropical style." Celestia said happily. "I can learn a thing or two from miss Sunset Shimmer." Luna commented. The sisters watch a volleyball game being played. "Can you imagine our students in a game like this?" Luna wondered. "I sure can." Celestia replied. The sisters soon tried their hand at surfing. Celestia wore a crimson shortie wetsuit, and Luna wore a teal full length wetsuit. The waves were intense. But, the sisters managed to stay on their boards. After riding the waves, they rested on the sand. They sat down and watched other surfers. "Whoever said that surfing is gnarliest in Hawaii," Celestia figured, "must've known what they're talking about." "Indeed." Luna agreed. "Applejack and Rainbow Dash would love to make the voyage here." Later that day, the sisters walk along the beach. They enjoy the sound of the waves, and feeling the water splash upon their feet. "This trip is just what we needed." Luna praised. "Now, I don't feel like a brutal vulture like I would sometimes at school. " "I agree." Celestia replied. "Don't forget, tomorrow we're invited to a luau. Pig roast, vegetables, and some dancing too." "I'll be surprised if somebody videotapes us hula dancing. Our students would be surprised." The sisters held hands as they continue their stroll. The next day, they join others at a table as a big roasted pig is brought over. One plop, and the pig busted, revealing cuts of fine pork. The sisters enjoyed the feast. "I give credit to the natives who prepare this feast." Celestia said proudly. "So do I." Luna added as she takes a bite of the pork. "The pork is tender and tasty." The sisters enjoy their meal. Later, a show is presented. Ukuleles played, drums being beat, and ladies wearing black tops and grass skirts dancing. The sisters watched, and are very happy. Meanwhile, back at Canterlot City, Lyra Heartstrings and her friend, Sweetie Drops, walk around the neighborhood. "I hope our principal and vice-principal enjoy their vacation in Hawaii." Sweetie said. "Don't worry." Lyra assured. "I'm sure they're having a good time." "Their little trip is the perfect setting for this chapter, featuring words beginning with the letter V." Lyra thought about that for a moment. "Of course. Vacation, View, Volcano, Vulture, Vegetables, and Videotape." Sweetie Drops then asks Lyra for a favor. "Can you think of other words that start with the letter V?" "I think so." Lyra replied. "Good. I'll see you later, Lyra." With that, Lyra and Sweetie went their separate ways.
