//------------------------------// // 7. My reason for these snippets / How I wish our world could be. // Story: Short Shorts // by Coranth //------------------------------// The reason I adore writing snippets about the MLP ponies as pets so much is not just because it's adorable, but because I love the idea of sharing our world with a race like them, a symbiotic/partner race to stand by and with us; that we shouldn't and will never be alone again. .... And in my vision I see a world wherein My Little Pony was taken to the best of ends, wherein Princesses Celestia and Luna work in tandem with our governments to build a better world, wherein famine, war and hunger are negated through harmony, friendship, love, joy, and magic. Wherein the great magi-reactors looming over every city provide free shared clean, green energy; where the Great Herds of Earth Ponies can be heard singing a rousing song as they along with human gardners tend the Everfields where the 'green' foods are grown for all. Even meat when it can be cloned again and again... Unto the heavens from the ground, and within the skies can be seen mighty Earthship and Cloud Cities, solar and magically empowered glass, stone, steel, cloud and crystalline buildings wherein humans live with each other and their pony 'pets' or lifemates. Looking through a window to the clear skies you'll see pegasi and griffin couriers delivering mail and packages along with the regular Earth Pony and human Postman even as Unicorns work with human builders to help reinforce and ward structures against natural disasters. Dragon Bankers and Jewelers can be found, too, along with changelings working at your local hospital or nursing home, giving and receiving love to and from those whom need it most. All are happy and free; you might even catch a look into the multicultural schools; seeing pony foals enraptured by human stories, or human children entranced by the myths of Equestria told by ponies who lived them. And no, children, you know you can't have tomorrow off work due to snow because your local Weather Pegasi have scheduled clear skies; you can see pegasi foals zipping by 'chasing' the Earth Ponies and Unicorns going to work in their maglev cars until a griffin police officer chides them again for doing something so silly. ... You can see a griffin craning his neck contentedly within a massage parlour as humans preen and align his feathers; he turns to look dumbly at the insensate dragon beside him who is getting his cracked hide oiled. Further down you'll see humans working on ponies there and ponies working on humans with hooves or magic. Be sure to check out the upcoming Hoofball, Cloud Sculpting, and Cricket Tournaments, too with mixed teams and watch the night skies as well; this Hearts-Hooves-and Valentine's Day Luna's got something extra special planned for interracial couples; check out the local cinemas, too, where - for the first time - the legendary duo of Indiana Jones and Daring Do team up for a film of high adventure and hoof-biting action!
